Empresses OF Ianan.

Women played an important part in
the early history of Japan. To a wo-
man. the Empress Jingu, belongs the
glory of the first conquest made by
Japan that of Korea, A D. 201
Dressed as a man, she led her fleet
over the unknown waters, across which
she alone believed a country lay to the
westward IF we succeed" she said
to her chiefs, ''the glory will all be
yours I will be responsible for the
infany Of possible defeat" The Ko-
reuns laid their wealth at the feet of
the couqu2rors. and the king swore
that so long as the stars shone and wa
ter 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 rs Asiatic art. science, medi-
cine and literature. Jingu, however,
was never actually proclaimed head of
the empire. The first female ruler was
Suiko, and since her time eight en-
presses have governed Japan, some of
them with great wisdom.

Society Reporter at the Fire.

The regular reporter was taking
vacation and the editor was busy
in the Office, so when it was
learned that on the previous even
ing there had been a fire in a re-
mote part of the city, the young
woman who writes the society
news was sent to bring in a report
of it for the paper She came into
the Office an hour later with the
following interesting account
Quite a number of people in
this part of the city attended a fire
last night at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Blank, on Thirteenth
street. Some went in carriages
and buggies, but a majority walk
ed. The alarm was sounded about
80 and many who attended the
FIRE had Just returned from church,
consequently they were already
dressed for the occasion.
Mr. Blank was not at home, be-
ing out of the city on business,
hence the affair will be quite a
surprise to him when he returns.
Mr. Blank wore light percale
kimono and had her hair done up
in kid curriers'.
The hremen responded readily
and worked heroically to subdue
the seething flames Most OF
them were young and fairly good
looking. They were dressed in
oilcloth coats, cut short with
trousers to match. The hat rims
were narrow in front and broad be-
hind, and sagged down in the
rear. The chiefs hat was orna-
mented with an octagonal brass
spike, which stuck up above his
head like a horn, giving him the
appearance Of unicorn.
When the flames broke out
through the second story and cast
lurid hue over the surrounding
buildings, the view was one never
to be forgotten. At a late hour
the sightseers went home, and all
felt that they had passed an even
ing full Of interest and excite

The younger son of a we'll

spent pretty much all of his life in
the big city by the lake, and, con-

Not long ago he visited a man
he had met in Chicago and who
maintains big farm near Cairo,

ster come for lengthy stay.
One day the Chicago youth was
wandering about the farm, closely
examining the top-ends and sides
of certain trim, well-made object

ROCKEFELLER FEARS ROBBERS

Probably the most complete bur-

lieutenants are stationed. At night
brilliant arc lamps illuminated the
grounds around the Rockefeller
house and at least three men are
always on duty patrolling the
premises.
Mr.. Rockefeller's fear of
assassination is such that even in
his own house he will not sit with
his back to window. When fore
ed to travel he will never, if it can
be avoided, enter the public wait

preferring to sit in the baggage

ANOTHER PLANT WIZARD.
Remarkable Achievement By Prof
Leduc, Of Nantes.

If Professor Leduc, of the
pretty city Of Nantes, in France,
had flourished in the Middle Ages
he would probably have Teen tried
for witchcraft, tortured and burned.
His particular variety OF scientific
neclomancy consists in toying with
life and in producing artificial
plants and cells which conduct
themselves exactly like natural
growths, but which are composed
only of inert matter.
Leduc's experiments are so SIM
pie that anyone can repeat them
without elaborate implements. In
the first place, tiny seed must be
made, which consists of two parts
cane sugar and one part of copper
sulphate. Drop this seed is a solu-
ton of I to 10 per cent. of
potassium ferrocyanid, toto per
cent. of common table salt and I to
4 per cent, of gelatin, and in a few
hours or days something will hap
pen.
The seed gelminates, roots and
stems are produced, leaves unfold
and branches shoot out in all dir
ections. The growth would battle
botanist. He could not dis
tinguish it from real plant,
The plant has all the functio s
of vegetation except one. Its de-
velopment is arrested by poisons;
it heals its wounds; it feeds; in a
word, it does everything that can
be expected of plant except the
reproduction of its own kind, and
even that Leduc refuses to consid-
er an unsurmountable obstacle.
Although Leduc's artificial
plants resemble natural plants so
closely, and he is himself inclined
to consider them a form of life, his
opponents hold that they are no
more vital than paper flower or a
wax doll. Nevertheless, the expert
ments have raised a little scientific
tempest in Germany and France.
Scientists are wondering if the
graduation OF living to dead mat
ter are so fine that it is impossible
to determine at what point life be-
gins, just as among the lowermost
creatures it is often impossible to
classify organisms as plants or
animals. If the functions OF veeeta-
ton can be reproduced by what we
have been pleased 10 regard as
dead matter it would seem as
though we should have to frame a
new definition to life. The Circle.

According to recent rumor, a

put her chewing gum under a
chair when she started to waltz.
Taking the gum he spread it out,
inserted piece of tobacco, rolled
the gum up again. and stuck il
under the chair. When she put
the gum in her mouth again and
the tobacco began to work, she
was too homesick to dance any
more. Somerset Star,
