Honor Japanese Explorer.

The Japanese people are paying
honor to a famous Japanese explorer,
the Rev. Ekai Kawaguchi, who has
just returned from successful relig-
ious mission to the innermost regions
of Tibet. Almost a score of years
ago Doctor Kawaguchi conceived the
project of recovering to the world the
hidden scripts of pristine Buddhism
from the land of the Llamas, away in
the alcoves of the worlds roof. lie
penetrated Tibet, but had to come
home abandoning the object of his ex-
ploration. Later, after long study
of the Tibetan language, he made MS
way through mountain and forest and
overcoming many hardships finally
succeeded in entering Tibet three
years after his departure from ia
pan. His wanderings in the interior
were mostly in the disguise of a trav-
cling physician. After studying the
Tibetan religion and conditions for
ten years he was given copies of the
Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures and re
turned to Japan.

TREES HEAL THEIR WOUNDS
Provision of Nature That Assures
Preservation of the Forests for the
Benefit of Mankind.

When a bullet or any foreign body
penetrates tree not sufficiently to Kill
it, the wound cicatrizes almost in eX-
actly the same way as a wound on the
human body heals. If it did not, de-
structive microbes would enter and
cause decay of the tissues.
"Trees," writes Henri Coupin in La
Nature, ARE very we'll equipped for
healing their wounds, and, more for
tunate than we, an antiseptic dress
ing is almost automatically applied
As soon as the lesion has taken place
the vegetable reacts to the wounded
spot; its breathing at this point is
quickened and at the same time pro-
TEN matters are rushed to the scene.
MANY plants are provided with Sc
cratirg canals filled with more or less
gummy substances which are instantly
poured out over the wounded surface
and protect it. This is true especially
of the conifers-pines, frs, etc-oi
which the resin makes a swift and i'm
permeable antiseptic dressing"
In trees that have little or no resin
the wounded part turns brown. This
is due to the appearance Of a juice that
seems to be mixture Of gums and
tannin. And the cells of the tres start
into activity, proliferating and tllllng
up the cavity with new cells. If the
wound be large these take the fern OF
vegetable electrical tissue, which
makes a plug and remains as a scar.
In the event that the wound be con-
fined to one of the limbs of the tree 1t
not infrequently happens that the limb
becomes dead and drops off, the
wound healing and leaving the tre9
in no wise the worse for the loss Of the
absent member.

Kills Cat, Calls Fire Fighters.

Killing CT town cat and rousing the
fire department of this exclusive col
ony into activity, was the manner in
which Elliott Green, son of Milton j.
Green, former United States referee
in bankruptcy, ushered in his" hunt
ing season. Another result was the
arrest CT the young man.
Green started out hunting, but he
couldn't wait until he got beyond the
confines CT the borough to try out his
new shotgun. Near the town hall
he espied a quail, raised his gun and
fired. The quail went through the
pattern" but some of the shots sent
the town tatby to it's final hunting
grounds, and the rest sounded the
clarion tones of the fire bell.-Hills-

Foolish Fighting.

Andrew Carnegie said at luncheon
in New York:
To a Marian or any other higher
intelligence this world war, which eT-

laration that he didn't want to fight,
but was forced to-this world war
would seem to higher intelligence, |
repeat, as unreasonable as the prize
fight seemed to the cid lady.
Gan old lady said Oh her return from
the city:
"My rich son-in-law took me to a
prize fight one evening. l never saw
such a thing. The two men came out
on the stage and shook hands like the
best of friends. Then they began to
punch each other, and all for nothing
They kept cn punching away till a
man in the corner yelled "Time!" No
body answered him, so pulled out my
watch and shouted, '"Ten o'clock"!'

prank Played 3f HURRICANE
New Orleans C!otnier's Stock Was
Swept Out of His Store Into
the Street.

Although the angry wind carried
through space a veritable fusillade OF
bricks, states and bits of broken glass;
a fringe of venturesome men stood
within the scant protection afforded
by the sheds on the river side OF st.
Charles street and with necks at
dangerous angle gaZed up at the great
tall chimney on the lower SIDE OF the
Masonic temple during the hurricane
the other afternoon.
It seemed swaying to and fro as
though to the accompaniment or the
winds melancholy hum, and such cries
as ITS going to fall now!' and Get
ready to dodge the bricks!' went up
from the expectant crowd.
The batteries of tho storm god
trained their enyious gus On the en-
tire exposed front Of the stately tenn
pie. Splendid windows of ancient pat
tern yielded their fancy glass as trib'
ute to the gale.
The swaying chimney was about 10

watching crowds saw it bend, straight
en-, bend again and then fall with
resounding crash on the roof OF the
building occupied by a clothing store
next door to the temple.
The avalanche of bricks tore a great
hole through the skylight and clattcred
down into the store. And then the
opening, forming sort of a funnel, let
in the mad wind from above and there
appeared catapulting through the front
door shirts, coats, trousers and all
sorts of articles of mems attire.
The wind for a moment showed a
festive mood and picked up the cloth
ier's stock, whirled it up and down st.
Charles street, dragged it over the
slippery asphalt, and deposited most
of it on the shaking roofs of neighbor-
ing buildings.
The windows in all the buildings
along st. Charles street were shat
tered by the wind and the skyscrapers
in the side streets were considerably
damaged.-New Orleans Times-Pica-

Carat.

The word carat is derived from er
Arabic word meaning a weight OF four
grains. In Greek it signifies little
horn, the fruit of the carob or locust
tree. The carat is a small weight
(originally in the form of seed used
for diamonds and precious stones, and
a measure for determining the fine
ness of gold. The exact weight of the
carat in practice varies slightly in dli
ferent places. In 1877 a syndicate OF
London. Paris and Amsterdam jew
elers fixed the weight at 2O5 mil
ligrams (3163 troy grains). The
South African carat is SAID to equal
3.174 grains. The fineness Of gold is
measured by a ratio with "a carats
as a standard; thus two parts OF alloy
make it 22-carat gold, and so on.

SHIP Bull DING BY ANCIENTS
Trade Was Old in the Days OF Jacob
-Falatial Yachts for Hero, Cleo
patra and Leo.

Some curious records of early ship
building are found in ancient history.
We read in Genesis that ships were
old IN the Mediterranean even in the
days of Jacob.
Eighteen hundred and thirty years
before Christ, Ammon built long and
tall ships with sails on the Red sea.
Ninety years later the ship Argo was
built-'the first Greek vessel which
yentured to pass through the sea with
out sight of land-being guided only
by the stars
The wonderful vessel built for Hero,
king of Syracuse, excited curiosity and
wonder. The craft was constructed
under the direction of the celebrated
mathematician, Archimedes, by a ship
builder at Corinth, from wood cut on
Mt. Etna.
Her decks were paved with small
and odd tiles, on which were depicted
with wonderful art scenes from Ho-
mer's Had. On the upper deck was a
gymnasium, containing gardens plant
ed With many kinds Of shrubs, with
walks between them overshadowed by
vines and ivy, the roots Of which were
nourished in moistened earth.
Near this apartment was dining
room dedicated to Venus, paved with
agates and other precious stones. The
walls and ceiling were of cyprus and
the doors of ivory.
Near this was library, the walls
being of lockwood and the ceiling rep
resenting the sky by night, with the
consultations embossed upon it.
We read also of the gardens Of the
barge of Cleopatra, of the domones OF
the Romans, long ships first used in
sailings matches, in which Leo, the
emperor, used to sail from CONSTANT
nople to the Asiatic coasts-and which
the sultan continued to use to late
day-of the feluccas and the gondolas
Of the Venetians, and variety OF
pleasure craft common to eastern coun-
tries in early times.
Turning over the leaves of early An
glo-Saxon history, we find that about
1000 A. D. Harold sent to Athelstan a
magnificent ship, with "a golden beak
and purple sails" surrounded by
shields internally gilt.
In this ship the wild northern mon
arch doubtless cruised the seas in COM
fort, though the Morse vessels of the
period were but great unlocked boats.

A woodland girl, with flying hair and
shv eyes like nymph's was the ap-
partition Halsey saw when he came back
to consciousness. She was kneellng

"Oh. you are alive!' she cried; ana

Halsey had been lost while on his

down the mountain side into the "a
vine, where the girl found him.
Her father, a rough, ignorant man,
apparently an immigrant, had come,
and now he helped Halsey back to the
