THE UNEMPLOYED IN JAPAN
They Flock to Tokio and Finally End
 In Complete Poverty

Tokio, Sept. 6.-Like many other great cities the number of unemployed is ever on the increase in Tolxio, where men gather from the country with high ambitions. Unfortunately, how ever, high places are few and talent apparently superabundant. Conse- quently even men with good qualifica- tions are roaming about, Vainly seek ing employment. Some of them come to the Free Lodging House at Honjo, Tokio, tired out; some even are on the brink of starvation.
 This summer the small lodging house is taxed to it's utmost capacity. The director of the House tells pitiful stories of his nightly lodgers. Men in the prime of Iife,'' he says, ''cone here every day starving, having had nothing to eat for three or four days. Of the young men who come to me for help, the majority are from the coun- try. They make their way to the city with high hopes, and write home ex- aggerated or imagined stories of their success. A few years later they go back to their homes on borrowed mon press their family and friends with their success, not yet realized. When they return to the city their situation is worse than it was before, for they are then sadd1ed with the debts they incurred to create false impressions at home. IheSe young men beSlEI generally as hard workers or ambi- tious students then they become cheap 1aborers or coo1ies, and finally end as loafers, sheltered in the Poor House" "
 Japan is dealing with the problem of the unemployed on scientific grounds, having profited by the great CT experience of America and Europe.
 Madame Kumehachi Ichikawa, the Sarah Bernhardt'' of Japan, died recently at the age of seventy, after spending nearly half century on the stage.
 Like Japanese warriors, who are proud to die on the battlefield, Japan ese actors and actresses hope to die on the stage. Kumehachi was no exception and her prayer was answer ed, for while performing one of her favorite dances at the Mikuni Theatre, in ToIio, she collapsed on the stage and never recovered.
 Madame 1chikawaL was born in a. sannurat family, and commenced her theatrical training at the early age of six She soon proved herself an en- chanting dancer At twelve she had many pupils some of them her sen iors in age, studying Japanese danc- ing with her. But it was at the age of two-and-twentyt that she made her first appearance on the stage as a professional actress. Her thorough training, coupled with her personal at tractiveness, made her more and more famous until one evening DanJuro, the star actor of the era was greatly inn

Each section of pipe of these mains

 weighing one ton. These supports are
 being manufactured in a saddle cast
 ing house by the company's employees.
 The machine was designed by c. e.

The old East River Gas Tunnel from Ravenswood, l.. l.,
 which is yet in use, was also built by the same engineers.
 Harold Carpenter, mentioned above,
 is a native of Connecticut and received
 his high school education at Willinan-
 tic. where his parents resided. He is
 a graduate of the Sheffield Scientific
 School and has been with the Con solidated Gas Company of New York

 Ground was broken for the vertical shafts at the tunnel ends on Septem- Der 12, 191O and since February 12, 1911, work on the tunnel proper has been pushed forward.

 Excellent progress was made through the gneiss rock on either side and through the limestone at the Astoria end However, in crossing the river at this point, 750 feet from the New then discontinued. This was due to the fact that drainage was to the Astoria end. Progress was made rapidly from the Astoria end for a distance of $500 feet, when difficulty was again encoun- tered due to entering the contact be- tween the gneiss and limestone stratas. A very disturbed formation existed at this point, layers of sound rock alter hating with Assures of highly disfn- tegrated rock, the latter resembling a greenish sand.
