THE "DIvINE STORM"
Fearful Typhoon That Saved Japan
From q Chinese Invasion.

Fearful Typhoon That Saved Japan
From a Chinese Invasion.
About 600 years ago Japan was
threatened with an invasion from con
tinental Asia, much as England was
threatened with invasion by the Span
iards. The beaten Spanish armada
was dispersed by storm, and Japan
was delivered In much the same way,
but without an engagement A Jap

says: 1.-THE mighty Kublai, grandson
Of the great Genghiz Khan, naughty
with his resistless army, whose devas-
tatipg intrepidity taught even Europe
20 tremble at the mention of his name,
dispatched an embassy to the japanese
court to demand the subsection Of the
country. The message was Indignant

equipped a large number Of vessels
with the choicest soldiers China could
furnish. The invading force YES sue

between Korea and japan. The posi-
ton was menacing. Even the steel
nerves of the trained samurai felt that
strange thrill patriot knows. Shinto

at their prayers.

The GaIiows Plant.

During the middle ages the botanists,
or old 'herbalists," gave currency to
many curious stories concerning the
growth, form, etc, OF mandrake or
May apple. which finally resulted in
its being given the name of "gallows
plant" The pseudo scientists Of that
time declared that mandrake would
grow In no other place except upon
which some terrible crime had been
committed. The roots were formerly
supposed to bear strong resemblance
to the human form.
