HAS new RELIGION
Japanese Millionaire Becomes a
Christian Convert.
Creates a Sensation by Seeking 6ap-
tlsm at the Hands Of koji,
a Reformed Convict.

The Morimura Gumi, one of the larg-
est and oldest Japanese export houses
of porcelain and curios, is especially
well known in the United States. Its
head, Baron IchZayemon Morimura,
has for many years been a propa-
gandiSt of temperance and undenOm-
national Christianity. Like Mr.. Dwight
l.. Moody in America, he and several
assistants have travelled about Japan,
preaching to the people. He is one Of
the earnest supporters of the joint
church movement in Japan.
A sensation was created recently,
says a New York correspondent, when
the baron sought baptism at the hands
of Yoshitaro Koji, a reformed convict
"A perfect prototype of the late Jerry
McAuley of New York, founder of the
Oliver street and Cremorne missions.
Mr.. Koji is an interesting personality.
He IA raised among criminals, and
served % years in prison, where he
earnestly studied Christianity and be-
came converted. When liberated sew
eral years ago, he at nee set put as
a religious teacher, going among all
classes of society-never obtruding his
personal views, but chiefly exhorting
to morality, self-sacriice and humility.
He did not preach the doctrine of
any particular denomination, but
based his creed upon Christ's Sermon
on the Mount" and the Lords Pray
err" He never has been recognized by
the Christian missionaries in Japan,
although many of them have shown
him respect. He hasn't any church of
his own, but visits people to whom
he is introduced, gains their friend
ship, and teaches them the broadcast
features of Christianity. He makes
no distinction between Catholic and
Protestant. He has much respect for
true believers and practitioners of the
MOhammedan faith, especially extoll-
ing their temperate habits. He visit
ed Korea and Manchuria and walked
thousands of miles among the villages
far off the beaten tracks and rail-
ways.
Baron Morimura has for several
years shown peculiar interest in the
personality of this humble Christian.
and recently asked Exhorter Koji to
baptize him. Other members of the
Morimura family are Protestant
church members. The baron has or
ganized a society to improve the moral
standard of the younger japanese gen.

French ArIstoerats in War.

Although France is a republic, the
French aristocracy has been as eager
In its war service as the British aris-

the British aristocrat is almost al

How a Machine Gun Is Fired.

How a machine gun is fired through
a revolving propeller is told in a re-
cen issue of Aeronautics, in an article
describing the more important features
of two German Fokkers brought down
behind the lines in France. On these
m%onoplanes, according to the descrip-
ton, the machine gun is fred through
the propeller by means of a small lever
actuating a Bowden wire. Provision
is further made to throw the machine
gun mechanism momentarily out of
gear as each whirling propeller blade
comes into line with the muzzle. This
is done very simply by means of a
double cam fixed on the engine shaft
and acting on a system of levers. The
French Morane, after which the Fox
ker type has been modelled, also fires
its machine gun through the tractor
screw.
