tissue beneath the skin also becomes
firmer and more solid.

Jap ARTIST HIS OWN MODEL
Has Carved Figure Of Himsef In
Wood Which Appears to Be Identi-
cal With Original.

One of the most marvellous work.
men in the world is Hananuma Ma
sakichi of Toxic, Japan, who has
carved figure in wood, so like him
self, that when the two are placed
together, side by side. it is said to be
also impossible to tell which lives
and which does not.
BY several connosseurs in art this
wooden figure is pronounced the
most perfect and human image of
man ever made. Masakichi has faith
fully reproduced every scar, vein
and wrinkle to be seen on his own
body. The figure is composed of
two thousand pieces Of wood, dove
tailed and iointed with such wonder
full skill, that no seams can be de-
tected.
The Japanese artist posed be-
tween two mirrors while modelling
this figure, and for some time after
Its completion, he posed frequently
beside it, to the confusion Of spec
tators, who were often entirely at
loss as to which was the artist. The
figure stands with a little mask in
one hand, and an instrument for
carving in the other; the iifelike
eyes are apparently gazing at the
mask, and the face wears look OF
intense absorption.

THE NEWSPAPER

The Rocky Mountain News:
Just as there was never a time be-
fore when the newspaper enjoyed
greater prominence and influence. just
so has there never been a time when
the popular attitude to newspapers
was SO distinctly critical. The very
dependence of the people upon the
newspaper for information has en-
gende<ed a certain protective suspi-
cion. and the journal that hopes TO
build upon pubic confidence must
come Clean Sr
For many years partisanship was
permitted to shield the unfaithful
newspaper in its unfaith. especially
in connection with the discussion OF
those questions that involve the polit-
ical, social and Industrial welfare.
But 1t is SO no longer. Party regu-
larity" has ceased to be fetch. and
those papers owned or retained to
fight the people cannot now control
their venality behind masks of parti-
sanship.
1t has been alleged that the news-
paper is entirely "commercial prop
osition." This is true in lhrge meas
ure. but it is equally true that the
newspaper has quasi-public functions,
and by virtue OF its peculiar province
and power. owes high and imperative
duty to the community in which it has
its being.
Not only in the matter Of present
ing the news fearlessiy and impartial
ly, but In the discussion OF public
men and affairs. the newspaper has
largest opportunity to inform. advise
and direct. and the extent of its IL
fiuence is measured by the extent OF

single declaration is such a reputa-
tion gained. but by years OF unswerv-
ing and courageous devotion TO the

MAY HAVE FROST SOON
SAYS WEATHER MAN

Just for the sake OF satisfying
large number of eager weather fans
and relieving the minds OF several
more farmers and owners of flower
beds, Weather Forecaster Daingerfe.d
yesterday took down large volume
of records and data appertaining to
atmospherical and Chronological con-
ditions to learn when the season for
killing frosts opens. AS far as he
could determine, these cool nignts
and cooler mornings indicate that be-
fore many days it will be a wise
policy to take such precautionary
measures as to cover the flowers at
night. For the farmer and trucker. nc
had little to offer in an advisory ca
pacity. for to cover all their products
would mean a stupendous task.
The earliest date upon which kill
ing frost has come was September IL
That was in 1902. and so far as the
records of the local weather bureau
go. dating back twenty-four years.
was the only time that vegetation was
damaged by frost. or course. frost
frequently comes in September, hut
does little damage. The average date
for the first killing frost is October :.
Late rains have kept vegetation
growing longer than usual this year
The melon crop. particularly canta-
loupes, is two weeks late this season
and in the event OF heavy frost
would result in considerable loss to
the farmers. Apprehension is felt
throughout the valley that the coo!
nights at the present time are indi-
catiye of an early killing frost. Flow
ers have done exceptionally well this
year and the lawns OF many homes
have been frightened and made more
attractive by their presence.
