London's Awful Smoke.

Sir William Richmond, well
known member of the Royal Acad-
envy, finds instances in unexpected
directions to drive home his argu-
ments in his laudable but hitherto I'M
successful campaign against the Lon
don smoke nuisance. Lecturing the
other day. he told his hearers that the
late springs and early falls in Lon
don We're caused entirely by smoke.
The pallor of Londoners was also due
to the same cause, for the smoke ex-
cluded the sunlight and where. there
was no sunlight there was no color.
He went SO far as to ascribe certain
physical deficiencies of the. poor to his
pet aversion. Promising that nothing
could grow without light, he declared
that poor girls were often .toothless,
while the snub noses and retreating
chins so common among the poorly
bred natives of London were largely
due to the absence of light caused by
smoke.

Famous Women Of Japan.

Women played an important part in
the early history of Japan. To q
woman, the Empress Jingu, belongs
the glory of the first conquest made
by Japan, that of Korea, A. D. 2O1.
Dressed as man, she led her fleet
over the unknown waters, across
which she alone believed country
lay to the westward IF we succeed"
she said to her chiefs, 1.-THE glory will
all be yours. l will be responsible for
the infamy of possible defeat" The
Koreans laid their wealth at the feet
of the conquerors and the king swore
that so long as the stars shone and
water ran down hill Korea should be
faithful to Japan. This achievement
of the empress gave rise to the boast
OF the Japanese, "The arms of Japan
shine beyond the seas" But the
most important fruit of her victory
was the introduction of Buddhism
from Korea, as well as Asiatic art,
science, medicine, and literature.
Jingu, however, was never actually
proclaimed head of the empire. The
first female ruler was Suiko, and since
her time eight expresses have gov
erned Japan, some of them with great
wisdom.

FAST SCOUT is LAUNCHED
NAVAL VESSEL OF NEW TYPE TO
WATCH ENEMY IN WAR.
Salem, Whoss Speed Will Be Twenty
four Knots, Strikes Waves
at Quincy.

Quincy, Mass, July pa war ship
of new type and one that is expected
to add greatly to the efficiency of the
navy was launched here at noon Satur,
day from the yards Of the Fore River
Shipbuilding company. The vessel is
the scout cruiser Salem, whose duty il
will be in time of war to look for and
report the movements of an enemy.
The Salem Is to have a speed of "a
knots. This is greater than that oil
any cruiser now in the navy. Several
scout boats building for the British
navy are to have slightly greater
speed, but the American scout is ex,
pected to maintain it's gait in any
weather and will have twice the coal
capacity of the British ships, giving a
much larger radius of action.
No other vessel in the navy has as
high freeboard as the Salem. This
assures good seagoing qualities, gives
stability and provides safe and dry
ship under all weather conditions. The
Salem Is 423 feet inches long and has
a breadth OF 46 feet inches and a
draft of 10 feet w inches. Her dis,
placement. fully loaded, is 4.640 tons,
and her battery will consist of three
and five-inch rapid-fire guns.
Propelling power for the cruiser will
be supplied by Curtis marine turbines
and there will be IL water tube boilers
Quarters for Is officers and $40 men
will be provided.

BOLT ExPLoDEs DYNAMITE.
Three Persons Killed When Light.
ming Strikes Hardware Store.

Otter Lake, Mich, July 27.-Three
persons lost their lives at G:30 o'clock
Thursday evening when lightning
struck the hardware store of W.. s.
Hemingway, exploding quantity of
dynamite.
The dead are Maynard Hemingway,
aged 80, who clerked for his brother,
and Maynard's wife and five-year-old
daughter. 1t is reported that Gus
toner was in the store at the time, but
this cannot be confirmed. Heming-
way was alone in the store when a ter
rife electrical storm arose. His wife
became frightened at the vivid flashes
and, taking her little daughter with
her, went over to stay with her hus-
band. The storm was at it's height
when bolt struck the building.
There was terrific report, immedi-
ately followed by another as the dyna-
mite exploded.
The two-story frame building in
stantly became mass of flames that
ragged so fiercely it was impossible to
make any efforts to save the bodies of
the victims.

GUARD ANCESTORS GRAVES
coNLEY SISTERS WILL PROTECT
HURON CEMETERY.
Wyandotte Indian Girls Threaten
Death to Disturbers of Bones of
Their Forefathers.

Kansas City, Mo, July 27.-Helena,
Ida and Ida Conley, sisters, and Wy
andotte Indians, began an armed guard
Thursday over the graves of their
ancestors in Huron cemetery in Kan
sas City, Kan, recently ordered sold
by the government, and threaten to
shoot the first person who may at
tempt to remove the bodies.
Congress authorized the sale of the
cemetery, set aside for many years as
tribal burying ground, and division
of the money among the remaining
members of the Wyandotte tribe, first
removing the bodies. The Conley girls
say they won't permit the graves to
be touched and they began the cree
ton of a shanty on the outskirts of the
cemetery. Miss Helena Conley, who
was experimenting the building, said:
From this time on one of the three
Conley sisters will be here in the day
time. At night all three of us shall
sleep here and guard.
In this cemetery are buried one
hundred of our ancestors. The blood
of the ancient royalty of France flows
in my veins. My grandfather owned
the whole state of Ohio. Why should
we not be proud of our ancestors and
protect their graves? We shall do it,
and woe be to the man that first at
tempts to steal a body,
I'VE shall keep right on asking bids
on the property said H. B. Durant,
chairman of the government commits
sion, which is trying to sell the cem-
etery. THE government is behind

TOO WILLING.

DO you love me as dearly as men
have ever loved women?" said Mabel,
finding an easy anchorage for her
cheek about the latitude Of his left
shoulder.
More" said George, with waning
enthusiasm, for this was about the
twenty-fourth encore to which he had
responded since eight o'clock. More,
far more, deary. Oh, ever so much
more!"
Would you," she went on, and
there was tremulous impressiveness
In her voice; would you be willing to
work and wait for me as Jacob wait
ed for Rachel at the well, seven long
years?"
"Seven!" he cried, in burst of gen.
uine devotion. "Seven!" Aye, gladly!
Yes, and more! Even until seven
times seven! Let's make it 10, and
prove my devotion"
Somehow or other he was alone when
he left the parlor few minutes later,
and it looks now as though he would
have to wait 700 years before he saves
fuel by toasting his toes at the CRATE
In that parlor again.

New Fire Escape.

A Swiss engineer announces new
fire escape. 1t consists of a series
of folding iron ladders, contained in
frames, attached to the window cases,
each reaching to the window below.
By merely turning small winch on
any floor all these frames are pushed
outward from the building, the lad
ders extended and securely connect
ed with each other, thus forming a
continuous communication from the
top floor to the ground The manipu-
lation is simple and takes less than a
minute. When not in use the escape
is barely visible, and does not dis
figure the facade of the building in
the manner that the ordinary outside
iron staircase does. A public test Of
the new escape has proved successful,
and the Vienna fire brigade represent
atives have expressed their approval
of it.

ORE RANGE STRIKE BROKEN
CITIZENS TO PROTECT MEN WILL.
ING TO WORK.
Gov. johnson Goes to Hibbing, Mimi,
to Learn Situation - Union
Leader Opposed to Violence.

Duluth, Mimi, July 26-That the
backbone of the strike on the ranges
is broken, seems to be the general
in the range towns and there seems
to be little doubt but that the steel
corporation can secure men in stead
lily increasing numbers to work their
mines as soon as they desire to open
up. The men are assured Of protec-
ton by the firm stand taken by the
citizens and do not fear violence from
the strikers.
Gov. Johnson arrived in Hibbing
Thursday morning about nine a. m.
He was taken to Petriellas headquar-
tiers, where he was introduced to the
strike leader. The governor told
Petriella that he hoped there would
be no violence during the strike and
that if there was and the local au-
thorities were unable to cope with the
situation, the state would stand be-
hind them and send men to preserve
| order.
Petrilla gave the governor his as
surance that there would be no vio-
lence if he could prevent it. He
stated that it was the intention of the
Western Federation of Miners to fight
the strike out in peaceful manner
and not to interfere with the men who
desired to go back to work. He fur
Their stated that if any of the union
men backslid they would not be intimi-
dated but that the federation intend
ed to establish offices in Duluth, Chi
cago and Detroit, to warn men that
there was strike on the ranges and
to advertise the fact that the United
States Steel corporation was "un-
fair" to organized labor.
The men appear to be gradually go
ing back to work. At the Morris
mine there were 300 men working in
the day shift Wednesday and 100 in
the night shift, In spite of Petriella's
statement that only 1872 men were
working in the entire Hibbing dis
trict Wednesday, and only 70 Thurs-
day.
Larger forces are also working on
all the stripping operations. Gov.
Johnson will go from Hibbing to
Mountain Iron, Virginia and Eveleth
to become familiar with the situation
| there.
