TurnOw Buried By Relatives

Just a few feet from the bodies
of his twin nephews, who were Kill
led by him, and as result of
which action he started on his mad
career that is known to have cost at
least four other lives. now rest the
remains of John Tornow, the Olym-
pic peninsula bandit, who was slain
in the wilds Of the upper regions of
the Wynoochie river recently. The
services over him were simple, Rev.
L. Shelly of the Christian church
merely saying a few simple prayers
before the body was lowered into
the hastily dug grave on the old
Tornow homestead, not far from
Montesano.
Giles Quimby, the Chehalis coun-
ty deputy sheriff who fired the fatal
bullet, will probably be tried on a
charge Of murder for killing Tor
now. He himself asks for this, so
that his record can be cleared of all
possible faint and in after years his
part of it can never be questioned,
as he will always have the official
record to show that he was justi-
fed. There will be no witnesses
ginst him except himself.

ART OF THE JAPANESE.
The Charm of Their Paintings Is In
Their Bold, Free Hand Strokes.

The Charm of Their Paintings Is In
Their Bold. Free Hand Strokes.
To outline briefly the peculisr
methods Of the japanese artist, re
uses neither oils, canvas, cardboard
nor Whatman paper, but employs
instead painting silk or absorbent
paper, with ink applied with a well
watered brush, with or without 9TH
er colors. There is a fixed sequence
in the strokes of his painted objects,
with an esta blished order in which
these objects are introduced into the
composition.
The artist rarely outlines. He
prefers to paint without defining
boundaries. This charming manner
is known as bokketsu. He paints
upon the mating floor seated on his
heels. He makes no tentative
strokes. He knows in advance what
is needed and paints from well
stored and trained memory. He
never retouches. A stroke once
made can neither be recalled nor
concealed. He paints with the great
est freedom of the arm, with the
brush held perpendicularly and with
stroke vigor '1ike the movements
of a dragon" and he invests each
stroke with sentiment correspond
ing to the very nature of the thing
painted. Nor must he hesitate or
delay in the act, else the psyche
logical moment would be gone.
He never sketches casts or living
models, and Buddhist influence has
always prohibited the nude in art.
In painting robes or other garments
there are eighteen different ways of
executing the lines thereof. In
sketching from nature he interprets
it not photographically, but aesthet-
ically, and omits unessential details.
He paints no shadows nor conceals
in chiaro oscuro anything he paints.
Finally he seeks for repose or free
dom from all care as the ideal condi-
ton under which to pursue his art.
Nor can it be insisted upon too
strongly that the chief charm of a
japanese painting lies in the in
spired strength and character of the
brush stroke, which conveys deep
if unsyllabled sentiment, not only
corresponding with the emotions of
the artist when producing the work,
but also enabling us to see with his
eyes and feel with his soul. Through
the magic Of such stroke is repro
duced the very nature of the thing

A FLIGHT TO MARS.
n,;ndt Planned to Make the Trip
In a Skyrocket Car.

canswindt Planned to Make the TIP
In q skyrocket Car.
Probably the widest idea that
ever found it's way into a man 5
hra;n was a trip to Mars in sky
rocket Herr Ganswlndt, rlcn
German manufacturer, was IN lo99
confident that he could perform
the feat and was so enthusiastic
over the scheme that he wrote a
hook of his plans and dedicated 1t
to Emperor William:
The vessel in which Herr Cans
windt contemplated making the
trim was to be in the shape OF a
cartridge, which was to attain It's
first momentum by being shot from
: bnoe cannon. This, he figured,
would carry it nearly to the outer
limits of the earth's atmosphere,
and from then on it would be driven
forward by a succession OF explo-
sions in its rear compartment.
To accomplish these explosions
the thick wall Of the car was to be
bored through from end to end and
the spaces filed with nitroglycerln
cartridges, which could be slipped
into place and discharged at the
will of the driver. Herr Ganswindt
stated that by this means the direc-
ton as we'll as the speed of the pro-
jectile could be controlled.
To keep himself from being crush
ed or shaken to pieces by the start
and later explosions he designed
the shell so that its base would have
double partitions.
Between these there were to be
water, a known conclusion breaker.
and powerful spiral springs. His
compartment was to be heavily pad
ded and hung with straps in such a
way that he would be able to sus-
pend himself in it's interior.
The head of the car was to be
fitted with powerful telescope, and
various other scientific instruments,
carefully stored, were to be taken
along.
After the atmosphere was once
passed the daring explorer believed
that he could travel at almost limit
less speed and that the 100000
miles could be covered in the course
of forty-two hours. All the pro-
visions necessary would be little
water and few packages of COM
pressed food tablets. The required
oxygen was to be manufactured
when needed by the use of certain
chemical powders.
The scheme stirred up a great
deal of interest at the time, and
Ganswindt was determined to I'M
dertake the expedition and even
went so far as to get contract on
the building Of the vessel, but at
last the entreaties of his wife and
children conquered, and he reluc
family abandoned his adventurous
dream.-NeW York Mail.

Bryan's mo Wine' Order

Comment upon the substitution
of unfermented grape juice for the
wine usually served on such occas-
ions as the dinner given by Secre-
tary and Mrs. Bryan recently. IN
honor of Ambassador Bryce, caused
the secretary to issue statement
explaining the incident. In it, tor
the first time, Mr.. Bryan made pub
lie an answer to the question of how
if was contrary to the customs OF
the BRYAN household to serve wines.
The statement follows:
eve did not intend to magnify
by mentioning it. the Importance OF
the non-use of wine at the dinner
given to Ambassador Bryce Monday
night, but as the papers have made
some inaccurate referen .es to them
the facts might as we'll be known.
"This was the first dinner which
we have given to members of the
diplomatic corps and therefore the
first time when we came into con-
fict with the social custom of serv-
ing wine at dinner. The seven
other ambassadors then in the city
and their ladies were invited to
meet Ambassador. and Mrs. Bryce.
and as all the gentlemen guests
were from foreign countries. /
thought it proper to explain to
them the reason for our failure to
conform to what seems to have
been customary in this matter. Be-
lieving that the issue should be met
frankly in the beginning I told
them when we sat down to the ia
BILE that Mrs. Bryan and | had been
teetotalers from our youth as were
our parents before US, and had new
err served liquor at our table; that
when the president was XIII d
enough to tender me the portfolio
of state, asked him whether our
failure to serve wine would be any
embar assment to the administration
and that he generously left the
matter to our discretion. | sug-
gested that | thought it unfair to
assume that those coming to us
from abroad would judge US harsh
ly or be unwilling to tolerate the
maintenance of a traditional Gus
tom and expressed the hope that
our friendship would be made so
apparent to them and our hospital
ity so cordial that they would over
look this weakness in US. if they re-
garded it as weakness My re-
marks were applauded by the COM
pany and we never spent more en-
joyable evening.
THAT is all there is to the matter
and we consider the incident closed.
and the custom established SO far as
we are concerned"

HOW COCA COLA aEFREsHEs.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale of Coca-C Cola has been
explained In many different ways. Some
have attributed 1t to good advertis-

others, to its delicious flavor" and still
others to the fact that 1t was the first in
tho field of "trade.marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion OF

ed Coca-Cola and studied its history for
attributes the popularity OF the drink
in large part to Its quality of refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition OF Coca-Cola Is practically
identical with that of coffee and tea
with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence of tannic
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments of DR.. Holling.

DR.. H. c. Wood, Jr. of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
feine-containing beverages (coffee. tea.
Coca.Coia. etc.) relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group of beverages differ
from the stimulnnts in that the use OF
the latter is followed by period of de-

Ra,s Culture In Bulgaria.

White and red roses are grown, the
former being easier to cultivate. but
giving only about half as much oil OF
an inferior quality. The Individual
growers distil their own oil. Twelve
TO fifteen kilos OF roses are distilled
with go kilos of water until IL
kilos Of distillate are obtained: eight
to ten such lots are then united. and
rcdistilled into long necked TASKS. in
which the oil separates on standing.
To produce one kilo of oil requires
800. kilos OF roses Of 100000 flow
ers. The roses are gathered In the
early morning and distilled the same
day. The pure oil from the various
districts shows variations in odor and
physical properties. and is therefore
skillfully blended by the distributing

very largely carried on by the peas
