MAKING JAPANESE GARDEN.
Nature, Taste Of Artist, Personality
of Owner, All Taken Into
Consideration.

Many wise man from abroad has
said of the pictorial artists, as we'll
as of the masters of landscape garden
ing in Nippon, that the one master to
whom they go for lessons and guid-
ance is nature. They are wrong as
critics In general, and the imported
ones in particular are apt to be, writes
Adachi Kinnosuke, in Country Calen-
dar.
The landscape gardener in Nippon,
like all our artists, serves two mas
ters-nature and his own personality
With us the mere copy of nature is lit
lie better than earicature Of q good
and great thing; natural scenery
should be seen and appreciated in its
original state as the gods had left 1t
on the canvas OF their own choosing,
on the same ground that you should
neves see a counterfeit Of q master
piece Of painting.
Nature plus the man Is the beginning
OF art in Nippon. Sometimes the land
scape gardener in Nippon " called
upon to serve thee masters. Added to
the fidelity OF nature and the play of
his individual taste, he Is called upon
to take serious thought unto the per-
sonality of the owner Of the garden.
And perhaps that Is the reason why
the art of landscape gardening Is con-
sidered. with US as one of the most
difficult Of fine arts A mans garden,
like his dress and his library, must
first be mirror OF his personality.
The tale 1t would tell when the
friends Of its master came to see it
must be about the master himself
1t must tell this story not only In the
terms Of art, but so plainly, too, that
the guest. looking at the garden and
pleased with the beauty thereof, would
only see in what pleasing terms its
author has interpreted its masters
personality through it all The chief
thing which good garden ought to
show to the eyes of men ought to be
the man and not the garden itself.

FRENcHMAN's SLIDING BOAT
skims Along the Surface Of the Water
with Lightness and
Speed.

The fact that stone can skim the
water II its fiat surface strikes square
ly has recently been put in practice
In the construction of q sliding boat
by a French inventor, M. de Lambert.
The friction which ia present when the
de Lambert boat slides over the water
is very slight, and the power which Is
necessary In order to make the boat
glide is not high. When the boat Is
at rest 1t is supported by floats, says
the American Inventor.
The boat constructed by NJ. de Lam
bert has total length Of 20 feet. with
q width OF ten feet between the in
clined planes upon which 1t slides.
The boat has parallel floats resembling
certain Asiatic canoes. The two floats
are very narrow and are united by
crosspieces. partly OF wood and partly
OF aluminium, a metal which has been
used to large extent in the construc-
tion OF the boat because Of its slight
weight.
The motor used is a IL horsepower,
but the essential parts Of the boat are
fixed sliding planes, adjusted under the
boat at carefully regulated distances
from each other. These planes, which
are made OF wood, are immersed to a
depth of several centimeters when the
boat is at rest. and they are inclined
at an angle which has been decided
upon after wide experimentation. The
total weight of the boat Is about 1,200
pounds, but in order to move this
weight 1t requires a motor OF only IL
horsepower, while in the case Of au-
tomobile boats the motors required are
60, 80 and even 100-horse power.
NJ. Belief says that M. de Lambert s
boat has been timed by official chronom-
eters, and that the results have been
surprising When the motor is started
the boat commences to move with the
planes still submerged, cutting the wa
ter horizontally. But this lasts only
a short time; the planes show an in
stantaneous tendency to rise, and they
are practically on the water at the end
OF few meters. Then the speed quick
ly increases because Of the immense
diminution in resistance, and soon the
boat Is sliding on the water, or, more
exactly. on layer Of air resting be-
tween the planes and the water, at q
speed Of IA, Is or 26 miles an hour.

White People Growing Smaller.

Size and sufficiency are not neces-
sarily associated, as is shown by the
way the Japanese have outwitted and
outdone their Russian enemies in
strategy and in combak. Nevertheless.
1t is not a good sign to find a people
diminishing in size, and the English
people are properly disturbed at fnd-
ing that such is the case with them.
There improper nourishment is sup
posed to be the leading cause, but DIR.
Anna Shaw reminds us that the Amer
ican people are on the verge of taking
the same turn. A Brockton shoe
manufacturer already claims to note
a sign Of degradation In q falling off

STORY OF HISTORIC GEM.
Diamond That shone In Royal
Crowns and Swords Stolen
by Thieves.

The Pitt diamond was first employed,
after It became one Of the crown jewels
OF France, In the ornamentati0n Of the
crown that was made for the coronation
OF King Louis XIV, In 1722. In 1871
1t was entered In an inventory Of crown
jewels that was compiled by order of
the national assembly during the revo-
luton and 1t was deposited at the Garde
Meubel after the assembly had deter
mined to sell 1t II a buyer at suitable
price could be found. But no offer was
made, and SO 1t happened that In Sep
tember 1t was stolen with other jewels
by a band Of men who broke into the
Garde Meuble. 1t was secreted by the
thieves In hole In the timber work Of
a garret in low lodging, and there 1t
remained some time, II was at length
discovered by the republican authors
ties and deposited in the national treas
ury.
1t was not again disturbed until 1904,
when 1t was set in the pommel Of the
sword which Napoleon wore when he
crowned himself emperor at Notre
Dame In Paris. Empress Marie
Louise carried II on with other crown
jewels TO Blois, after Emperor Napoleon
was banished to Elba. but her father,
Emperor Francis of Austria, obtained
1t from her and sent 1t to Louis XVIII.
That king, on Napoleon's return from
Elba, fed with 1t TO Client, but after
Waterloo returned with 1t to Paris. In
1880 the diamond was used by King
Charles X. at his coronation. but since
then 1t has not been employed at any
ceremonial. Shortly after the fall OF the
second empire many OF the crown jew
els OF France were sold by the repub-
lican government for the benefit of the
state. But no buyer was found for the
Pitt, or Regent, diamond and It remains
in safe custody atthe Louvre.

French Cookery and the Parisians.
The closing Of so many once famous
Partisan restaurants during the last
ten years is due to various causes. But
the chief is undoubtedly the fact that
Paris has become 80 largely a city OF
impaired digestions. Those English
people who, intimate with members OF
the Partisan bourgeoisie, partake OF
the latter's private hospitality when
they happen to visit the French cap
ital, will have noticed how simply, as
rule, the viands served at their
friends tables are nowadays prepared.
Even when any dishes at all recherche
In character are served for the visitors
benefit. the host will generally refrain
from partaking Of them, stating as his
excuse that his medical man has or
dered him to confine himself To
''grilled meats"

Moldy Grapes Make Best Wine.

According to United States Consul
McNaliy, at Liege, Belgium, the secret
of the rare bouquet" Of Moselle wines
was disclosed by Prof. Marshall Ward
in recent lecture on "Molds and Moldi-
ness" "Moldy grapes" asserted the
professor, produce far finer wine than
freshly gathered fruit. Moselle wines
come from grapes which are In simply
awful condition. The grapes grown In
the Moselle districts are not subjected
to sufhcient heat to fill them with sugar,
and they are therefore allowed to be
attacked by what Is known as noble rot,
in which process the mold fungus, hav.
Ing the satisfactory habit of selecting
certain crystals according to taste.

the proper proportion OF sugar behind"

Salad Grown at Table.

The experiment OF serving a dinner
party with salad grown under the
guests own eyes was recently tried in
Berlin. Here is the recipe: Take
good terminating lettuce seed and

and unslaked lime, and place 1t on the
table. After the soup water it with
lukewarm water, whereupon 1t COM

ching worked like a charm, and the
lettuces when plucked and prepared
for eating we're the size of Barcelona

Electric Railroads in Ireland.

The introduction OF light railways
into Ireland has, II is asserted, been
productive of great benefit to thou
sands Of farming cottiers. by enabling
them to get better prices for their
poultry, eggs and pigs. while being put
TO less cost for transport to market.
Possibly. motor-wagons, calling from
farmhouse to farmhouse daily. may be
destined to supersede light lines as
feeders" Of trunk lines; as there
would be no outlay for permanent way,
working expenses would necessarily be
much less.

WATCH AUTO BOATS.
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS KEEP
CLOSE TAB ON MOVEMENTS.
Naval 0fficers Have for Their Object
the Acquisition Of Fast En-
ginss for Use ON Tor
pedo Boats.

Ever since the motor boat and the
speedy auto-boat began to show what
1t could do, government men have been
much interested in It. Whenever
there are races or speed trials with
some Of the more important boats TAX
ing part. representative Of the navy
Is sure to be on hand and the work
OF each boat is carefully noted. states
Pearson's Magazine. All possible data
Is collected, SO that the oficiais Of the
navy know exactly what the auto boat
and the gas engine can do. At the last
power boat show in New York. Rear
Admiral Charles B. Coghlan, repre-
sented the secretary Of the navy at the
opening. and many officers became ia
miliar with every exhibit.
The gas engine has done 20 well With
these fast launches that 1t Is very
probable that the gas engine will
soon be tried In the torpedo boat. 1t is
probable that the first experiments will
be made in small boats that can be
carried on the davits Of the battle
ships and cruisers. Some time ago
experiments were made with small tor
pedO boats that we're to be run by
steam engines. These boats were only
60 feet long, and were to be part Of
the equipment of some big fighting ma
chine, but with their steam engines
and boilers which, because of the
speed required. had to be large, they
were too heavy; and the experiment
was a failure Now II the gas engine
can drive boat 20, 25 or 80 miles an
hour, II can serve the same purpose
in a torpedo boat Another advantage
that It has over steam is that 1t is al.
ways ready to do its work. Touching
button or pulling lever will start
the engine working. and the boat Is
of at full speed at once.
Life boats fitted with gasoline mo-
tors have been built and are being
used at the Sandy Hook and Fire
Island life saving stations. The hulls
Of these boats are Just the same as the
regulation life boats. They are nom
capsizable and nonsinksble, being fit-
ted with water-tight compartments.
Saying . boat 10 non-capsizable does
not mean that II will not turn over.
but that II an ugly sea should cause
the boat TO roll under the water It
would right itself at once. This is &C
complished By . proper adjustment Of
the weights On the boat and by making
II very buoyant. nr
The trouble in putting . motor in
ono Of these bosts was that II the craft
turned turtle, as the sailors call II, the
engine would be swamped. Then. too.
the screw would get out OF the water.
and with the pressure Of the water OF 1t
would revolve at such a rate that prob
ably the shaft, being unable to stand
the strain, would break. An ingenious
architect solved these problems. The
motor Is placed In q water-tight COM
partment, and, by little electric ap-
pliance the machinery is stopped when
the boat rolls over beyond certain
angle and starts again by the same cleo
trio current when the boat resumes its
even keel These boats have been sub
jected to most severe tests aud have
proved great successes.

charges of larceny and attempted black
mail and who Is wanted in this city be-
cause he jumped his bond while being tried
for conspiracy to defraud the Washington
Traction and Electric Company as here
tofore stated in The Star is TO be returned

went to st. Louis for him, returned home
this morning. He reported to Capt. Board
man that Kupfirbirg had been held in bond
this city. He will be brought here by the
marshal.
Louis S. Finkelstein. alias Fink. who was
tried in this city with kuphrbirg at the
time the men attempted to get money from
the railway company by one of them falling
from a car and pretending he was injured.
served a sentence of six months. The trial
was well under way when Kupfirbirg dis
appeared and the court directed that
verdict be returned in his absence In st.
Louis Kupfirbirg was employed in the store
of Henry Mueller, a furrier, and occupied
a room with Otto Silverstein, who was also
in the employ of Mueller.
Silverstein is said to have admitted the
theft of furs and claimed that he did so at
the suggestion of Kupfirbirg. but the lat
ter would say nothing about the thefts.
Their employer charged that they attempt
ed to extort $3.50 from him by saying they
would swear that he started a fire that
damaged his store several weeks ago.
Mueller made an engagement to meet them
and when they appeared they were arrest
ed A number of valuable furs were found
in the room occupied by the two men. KuP-
firbirg will be brought here soon as the
papers are signed by the circuit judge.
