J. P. MORGAN ALLOWS
PHOTO TO BE TAKEN
Cotnrols Temper When Cameras
Snap Him at Launching of
the New York.

NEW YORK. November 1.-THE most
interesting and impressive feature of the
launching of the. 27.O00-ton battleship
New York-which is to be the largest
battleship in the world. and about which
columns of statistics have already been
printed-was the manner in which j..
Pierpont Morgan held his temper. Mr..
Morgan was guest on the stand at the
young lady who complied with tradition
by missing the ship with a bottle of
champagne, and with a full score of high
hated dignitaries. All around were the
newspaper photographers. 1t was fine,
bright. bracing morning, and Mr.. Morgan
looked particularly fit in his frock and
new silk hat. Every photographer pres
ent took a shot at him.
Now, Mr. Morgan regards a photogra-
pher as somewhat lower in the scale of
creation than a picnic ant. He has been
known to violently wallop photographers
over the gun deck with an excellent cane
he carries for that purpose. Friends of
Mr.. Morgan. desirous of attracting his
favorable attention, have been discovered
in the act of kicking costly cameras to
bits.
Mr. Morgans occasional departure for
Europe Is regarded in the nature of a
sporting event on the passenger docks.
the betting being on the number Of
camera men who will break through the
interference of the Morgan guards
Therefore the photographers took ad-
vantage of the opportunity on launch
ing day. They fired at him with the tele-
photo lens. and with the moving picture
jigger. and with every other sort Of
camera down to the six-dollar affair you
put in your vest pocket. The cameras
clicked about him like grasshoppers in
fence corner. and he did not notice
them by so much as a dropped eyelash.
He even took off his hat while he ad-
dressed a lady. and his voice was almost
drowned by the roaring Of cameras. But
he did not so much as look the artists
way.
Hes on to u.s." said one of them.
Wen never get his goat again.

How China Uses Old Papers.

From the National Review.
In the customs statistics of Newcbwanp
for 1911 there appears as a separate item
under the heading Of paper an tmporta-
ton of 4.211 .s72 pounds of old newspapers
valued at $71.13s. This is a new feature
These old newspapers. which appear to be
mostly British. are in extensive demand
in the Newchwang district for wall paper
for native houses and cottages
Apart from this new development the
importation Of foreign paper was some
what less In value though more in bulk
than i'm 1910. but the difference is far
more than balanced by a largely in.
creased Importation Of. paper of native
manufacture. The local Chinese news
papers have enormously increased their
circulation during the year. This Is doubt
less the reason for a greatly enhanced
demand for printing paper. both Of native
and Of foreign make Of cheap quality.

Concerning Deserts. "
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago JOurnaI.
An amusing editorial appeared recently
in an eastern paper. In it the editor
solemnly moralized on the tendency of
sanitary science to drive out lower forms
of life. 1--WE are making desert, and call
ing 1t sanitation" he summed up in
mournful phrase.
Now, the immediate subject under dis
cussion was the plague. Plagde is spread
by rats and fleas, Would the absence of
rats and f1eas make desert" to the
sight Of this eastern editor?
Malaria and yellow fever are spread by
mosquitoes. Typhoid Is distributed largely
by flies. In at least one locality wood
ticks are responsible for a peculiarly
virulent form of meningitis.
II a land without flies, fieas. mosquitoes,
rats or wood ticks is a desert, most peo-
pie could contemplate a desert life with
out excessive grief.

Easy for Blackford.

There were five scratches in the sixth
race. which was at mile and an eighth.
Blackford and Oakhurst were the choices,
with the former ruling. Oakhurst set all
the early pace, but when the time came
for Blackford to take the lead he was
sent to the front and won under raps
Oakhurst was too far In front to be pull
ed down by Ell Orc in the final drive and
he got the decision by three parts OF a
length. Bedwelfs Jacqueline carried a
bunch Of place and show money, but
never got to the leaders.
There were eleven two-year-old maidens
In the closing event and there was little
to pick among them. for fair prices were
laid against each. The distance was five
furlongs. Virile. however. proved to be
the best Of the lot and dashed into the
front rounding the far turn The lead
was held to the wire and Virile won by
a length from Pandorina, who was a

public choice. while others were played to

finish found Amelia jerks along the rail
and Ocean Blue and Continental in the
center of the track.
The Emerson steeplechase Of two miles
the fourth number on the card, was one
OF the best ever witnessed at the old Hill
top course. Only a head separated
Cnerish and George Emo at the finish.
George Emo and Examplar set the early
pace, with Cherish and Juverence close
up. At the tenth jump Examplar lost his
jockey and King Cash fell After this
accident Cherish moved up and took the
lead from George Emo by a narrow mar
gin and then a duel resulted between this
pair. with the former getting the verdict
by being faster in the final dash for the
goal Juverence finished a good third.
Tartar. one of Wilson's two-year-olds,
was the class of the fifth race, which was
at a mile. GrOsvenor was Off in the lead
and maintained 1t until entering the
stretch. when Tartar, who was always a
good second. went to the front Barne-
