UNEARTHLARCEST
BUDDHA ON EARTH
/, CLOSE TO BURMA
Bronze God of Yokohoma
Now Takes Second
! Place.

The bronze Buddha Of Yokohama ~
commonly thought to be the largest
statue of that god in the world; but
there is one in Burma that exceeds
it in at least one dimension and gives
an impression of far greater size.
When the English were building the
railway from Rangoon to Mandalay in
1881 they searched the vicinity of Pc
gu for stone with which to make the
embankment through great swamps.
In the whole AREA there was only one
elevation of any Importance. The en-
gineers thought that this hill might
provide the necessary material, so they
dug into its base and were surprised tc
find some artistic brickwork. On
clearing away the earth farther they
found an enormous stone statue thar
represented Buddha in a reclining 20
sition.
The statue is about 100 feet In cir
conference, and including the brick
base, it is more than 40 feet high. The
Yokohama Buddha is IS feet high and
Ito feet in circumference. Although
the Burmese statue is not SO artistic
as the Japanese, it is wonderful piece
of work.
Not the least remarkable thing about
it is the way in which so huge q monu-
ment had disappeared absolutely from
Burmese history and legend. The
news of the discovery at once brought
numberless Buddhists to the place,
who gilded and decorated the gigan-
tic image as a work of devotion. The
soles of it's huge feet were ornamented
at great cost with an elaborate glass
mosaic, and on each toe was embel-
lished with a separate decoration

Demand From Germany
Mussels Now Become
Valuble Food Product

Goes, Netherlands, Jan. 16.-The
latest war industry in Holland is the
boiling and sailing of mussels for
German consumption. It is assum-
ing ever larger proportions here and
in neighboring places. Up to a month
or two ago these humble shellfish
which abound in the shallow waters
of the Scheldt delta were retailed for
local consumption, and constituted a
cheap popular food. They have now
suddenly disappeared from the mar
ket, and instead of being eaten are
sailed down in great quantities and
bought up for Germany. Some Of the
workmen's families that have taken
up the new occupation are earning
about Sc a day, for them a princely
wage.

WOMAN MANAGER
TAKES CHARGE OF
SEVEN BUILDINGS
Started by Letting Single
Room Now Lets Office
Buildings.

Woman's intuition and business
that is a practical combination, says
Mrs. Nettie Emerson Of San Francisco.
Her opinion has weight. for she is
the manager of seven buildings, with
a total OF 100 rooms. Two Of these
buildings are large downtown Office
structures, and two more are great
apartment houses. She is one of the
highest saIaried women on the Pacific
Coast and also the first, perhaps the
first in America, to venture into the
field Of managing downtown office
buildings
Nor did she fall into, her income of
more than 5000 month. She built
up her business from nothing. and she
did it alone.
when I first go into a building, in
tuition tells me whether to take II or
not. There's something about the look
and the atmosphere Of the rooms that
decides me-" she said, chatting in her
Office. There was an earnest express
sion in her wide-apart blue eyes, that
are. keen Of course, but have lurking
humor in them, and even more of a
sort Of tolerant understanding.
1T IS the same way with tenants
and with employees. feel at the first
glance whether they are the right
ones or not. I place the rental pri-
ces by intuition too. Last week an
owner, who was showing me through
his building, asked me to guess at his
rentals. I named them of-hand by
intuition. He said that had named
the rental he had settled on in every
case.
She calls 1t intuition. There are
some persons however, who do say
that intuition Is just intelligence work.

ury, which is only concerned with
seeing that over and above it's insular
economy Man stumps up 100000 a
year to the imperial exchequer, but
within these limits Lord Raglan is
pretty well dictator in Man.
He is the president of its Judiciary,
his own prime minister, chancellor Of
the exchequer, home secretary. presi-
dent of the local government board,
president of the board of trade and
compendiously, Lord Everything Else,
In his executive actions there is no.
body in Man of whom he need ask Ell
Their advice or assent. Many of the
crown colonies have governors exc
cutive council, but the thing is un-
known in Man. Even the legislature
is behind many Of the outputs of the
empire, for one branch is wholly Of
fetal.
Aged Still Work.
There are no old age pensions in
the island, and fishermen Of 70 still
hazard the perils Of the sea for lack
Of the pittance which would help to
give them rest. National health in
surance is unknown, and the island
has not yet emerged from the doubts
of the old law of employers liability
into the full assurance of Workmen's
compensation.
Lord Raglan is not entirely to
blame for all this; the official clique
is very powerful, and in the absence
of properly constituted executive
one supposes that it gets his ear far
Oftener than it should. But, unfor-
tunately, Lord Raglan's temperament
gives him too ready ear. Lord~Rag-
Ian used to describe himself in who's
Who" as "a Tory" and during his
tenure as governor and in defiance of
all the traditions Of the civil service,
he has made himself conspicuous as
one of the most rustic Of the ''back-
woodsmen' in the house of lords.
Ask for Raglan's Recall
He has a pleasant smoke room hu-
NOR, which perhaps loses some of its
flavor in the judgment seat. He it
was who confided to the islanders,
when they wished to keep children
out Of the bars of public houses Gas
they managed to do), that he drank
buckets of beer before he was 49,
and he it was. again, who decried all
the bother about juvenile smoking by
pointing out that the infants of Bur-
ma or Morocco habitually smoked
cheroots a foot long without obvious
ly evil eectS.
It was in much the same spirit that

wheels go round.
Sixteen years ago Mrs. Emerson
found herself a widow without capt.
tai, and with blind mother to take
care Of To-day, in spite Of the fact
that she wax made penniless again by
the great San Francisco fire of 1906,
"left. without roof over my head"
as she puts it, she conducts the bust
,, ness of these seven buildings, running
six of them for five different owner,
and leasing the seventh on her own
account.
She has several hundred tenants,
more than 100 physicians and dentists
in single building. Moreover, she
Opened" all but two of the seven
buildings. This means that she helps
with the plans Of the building, super
vises the decoration and selects all the
furnishings. From matters of elabo-
rate drains in an Office building to
the choosing Of Turkish rugs for apart
ment parlors range the duties of a
manager.
These duties include employing jan
itors and housekeepers and elevator
boys. This woman, who has 40 en-
pIoyes, is astonished at the walls of
the average woman over her servant
problem.
II don't see that there is any prob
Iem.'' she said. But then I have no
servants, of course. They may be
harder to deal with than employees y
Which may explain part of her sue
cess.
II tried to progress all the time" is
Ter only theory of her success.
II started by renting rooms in my
fiat" she said. Then after a while
rented a house and let the rooms.
Soon I took a larger house. After a
few years / took small office build
ing. Then I had a strange piece Of
luck and got the large Emerson build
ing-you can see the portal still stand
ing on Suffer street, near Jones'"
One day man who was looking for
a manager for the new building, later
to be named the Emerson, was talk
ing with woman who scarcely knew
Mrs. Emerson, but did know Of her
little victory of tact "a woman who
could do that ought to have tact
enough to manage your building" she
said.
So Mrs. Emerson became manager,
then leased the building herself-with
her heart in her mouth at the venture
but filled it at once and was IN the
