JAPANESE CRUISERS
: Now On Way To jamestown Fine
Types Of Warships.

COLOMBO, Ceylon, April 24.-Vice
Admiral Julia, commanding the Japa-
nese cruisers en- route to the United
States, today courteously accorded to
the representatives of the Associated
Press the privilege of inspecting these
fine types of Japanese warships. The
cruisers arrived here on March 20,
and after coaling left for Gibraltar.
whence they will proceed to Hampton
Roads to take part in the naval re-
view at jamestown.
Admiral Ijulja's flagship Is the fine,
new armored cruiser Tsukuba, which
represents Japan's first efforts In
building armored cruisers. She has
displacement of 1880 tons and her
principal battery consists OF four
twelve-inch guns mounted in fore and
aft current. The Admiral said with
great satisfaction that the entire ship,
with the exception of few minor tt-
tings. was built and equipped in Japan
with Japanese material and japanese
labor. She was built at Kure and was
completed within two years. Her
twelve-inch guns are also OF japanese
make and are the first weapons of this
size built in Japan. The same Is true
of the steel armor belts of the vessel
which are the first products of this
kind in Japan. The engines also were
made at the Kure dockyards and are
models of power and efficiency. The
crew of the Tsukuba numbers S5t
! men.
The cruiser Chitose Is a smaller
type of Japanese warship and Ia vel
known In the United States, having
been built in San Francisco.
The Japanese officers look forward
with much satisfaction to their visi'
to America where they are planning u
give a hospitable welcome to visitors

USE HYPNOTISM
In Pulling Teeth and Dentist Proves
II Is Better Than Gas.

fphiIadelphia Cor. New York Worldly
What was apparently demonstra-
ton of painless dentistry due to the
patient being hypnotized was given
today in the dental department OF the
Medico- Chirurgical Hospital by VII
liam E. Hoffman, junior student.
The amphitheator was jammed with
dental students when HOFFMAN began
his attempt to show that teeth might
be extracted from the jaws OF suffef-
inc mortals without pain If hypnotlsm
was employed instead OF gas or CO.
caine.
Hoffman began his performance by
introducing the usual hypnotic SUD
iect. young man who easily sue
cumbed apparently to his influence.
After showing the effort of hypnotism
bv making his frs, subject TO do va
rious odd things while apparently
asleep, Hoffman introduced Clifford
Kellogg, of Hampton. Mass, who is
dental student Kellogg apparently
succumbed to Hoffman's glance and
rapid hand movement with little or
no resistance. Assisted by Hoffman
and Dr.. Thomas j. Burns, Or. William
K. Mckinley attacked the third molar,
but only broken piece of 1t was re-
moved while the patient struggled
slightly. Hoffman admitted that the
exhibition had not been entirely sue
cessful, but blamed 1t on the oosu-
nate third molar.
Jas. Comerford, of Mahanoy CITY,
Penn. was then the next subject 10

quickly and successfully extracted a
tooth from Comerford's Jaw amid the
applause of the assembled students.
Comerford said afterward that ne had
felt no pain. Many students said they
did not approve of hypnotism as an
adjunct to painless dentistry, because
of the time required TO mesmerize a
patient. 10 minutes having elapsed De-
fore Comerford finally s,iecumbed.

OILED ROADS
IN KENTUCKY

In Fayette county, KY, more than
100 miles of roads are said to have
been treated with asphalt base oil,
SAYS the Municipal Journal and Engl'
neer. Macadam roads built five and
six years ago are smoother and harder
today than when first completed, and
not a penny has been spent on the
roadways for repair. The county
Judge states that the average cost per
year per mile for repairs of the Tate
Greek pike had been SIS and that all
this money had been expended IN
keeping the drains open and clean.
Not a pound of metal had been added
in four years. An application of oil
when the roads was completed and
one thereafter had produced this re-
suit.

cording to a report from Col. Gorgas,
Chief Sanitary Officer, for the month

of the Isthmian Canal Commission.
Since August last the number OF SICK

clined until it is now 1910 men per
,OOe, as against 1912 in August. This
in the opinion OF Col. Gorgas, Is an ex-
cellent sick rate.
Among 1900 American, (white) EN-
ployes there were only deaths from
disease during the month of March,
a rate of All per 1000 Among l,2OO
American women and children living
in the Canal Commission quarters,
there were no deaths and very little
sickness of any kind, as has been the
rule in the past.
The negro employees show the high
est mortality and the American whites
tho smallest. The mortality from all
causes for March was:
Negroes, 1880; white employees, To-
SO: American whites, 1924 per l'Ooo.

HILL BLOWN AWAY
BY SINGLE BLAST
Great Engineering Feat At chatts-
noosa, Second Only to He'll
Gates Work.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April "a
A remarkable engineering feat was
accomplished this afternoon by the
Oliver forces. when by single blast
a hill three hundred feet wide was
blown aside. a cut one hundred feet
deep made and the dirt thrown into
Lookout Greek, thereby making a
complete change in the channel OF a
stream that was troublesome TO the
construction to Lookout tunnel.
To make the excavation thus seven
holes were drilled into the hill, all
approaching each other at the bottom,
and 5000 pounds Of powder were lamp
ed in. All seven charges were ignited
at once. The explosion that followed
was terrific. shaking the earth for
miles in all directions. Residents
deemed within the danger limit were
warned of the pending explosion, and
the city fire departmnt was informed
of what was being done so as to avoid
any false alarms in the city. Little
damage was done to property except
in the matter of smashed windows in
st. Elmo and vicinity. Those in charge
of the work state tonight that the feat
accomplished has no equal in engin-
eering history except in the one in
stance when a channel was blasted
out at He'll Gate, one of the entrances
to New York harbor.

SCHOOL GARDENS

The backbone Of nations pros.
perity is the man who makes some
thing grow. In our country the
science of Nature study Is only in its
infancy. The school garden that was
once pooh-hoohed as foolish fad is
now accepted by the United States
Commissioner of Education and by
the leading universities of the land as
vital to our public-school system as
manual training of any sort writes
Herbert ID. Ward in the MAY Woman's
Homie Companion.
The first school garden in the Uni.

ago by Henry C. Clapp in the George

Over eighty years ago Austria and
Sweden began the movement. Al
present no rural school in Sweden is
without one. Russia is far ahead OF
