FIGHT TO GATHER CAMPH0R
Forests From Which Most Of It Is
Obtained Are Still Inhabited by
Head.Hunting Savages.

There are few things which demand
a heavier toll of lives than camphor.
The reason for this is that the noun
famous parts Of the island Of For
mosa, from which the world gets most
Of its camphor, are inhabited by head
hunting savages whom the successive
invaders of the island have been I'M
able to subdue.
These savages are alive to the value
of the camphor trees, and f1ercely op-
pose all attempts to get possession OF
the forests. Their hostility makes the
gathering of camphor most hazard
Gus occupation, and one in which q
loaded rifle is the most Indispensable
tool.
Since the Japanese took the island
after their successful campaign
against China in the nineties, they have
been carrying on a cerefully-conceived
plan Of gradual penetration Of the
valuable camphor regions. They make
paths six feet in width through the
virgin forests. At intervals Of every
12O yards stands guardhouse, and
every fourth or fifth guardhouse Is
small fort, entSenched and defended
by barbed wire entanglements. Tele-
phonic accommodation. machine
guns, and all the resources of Western
military science are employed. and th&.
llres are pushed gradually forward

MOST DEADLY AERIAL BOMB
Will Explode Six Feet Above 1rouno'
No Matter From What He'9ht
It May Be Dropped.

An aerial bomb which explodes
about six feet above the ground, re-
CARELESS Of the height from which 1t
is dropped, has been tested out by the
ordnance department, and probably
will be manufactured in large numbers.
The novel feature Of the bomb,
which is described in Popular Science,
Monthly, is that It explodes before 1t
hits the ground, whether it is dropped
from a height of 1000 or 10000 feet.
The difficulty with bombs used Is that
they have been fired By contact with
the ground, burying themselves In the
earth before exploding. thus 80 per
cent of, the force of bomb dropped
on ordinary ground is expended against
earth, instead of scattering its' frag'
ments over a wide area above grLNnd.
Inventors have been aware of this te'
ficiency of the pear-shaped bomb for q
long time. The idea uppermost IN their
minds has been to develop bomb that
would explode head high and whose
bursting fragments would cover q wide
circle before reaching the ground. 50
far as is known, no foreign country
s,s such a bomb IL its possession.
fke bomb which comes closest to
realizing the maximum of efficiency, az
the ordnance department interpret
that term, is this bomb, devised By
Mr.. Barlow.

branches; it employs its own staff OF
surgeons, physicians, oculists and den
lists, who attend to the wants Of the
members free of any charges save per-
haps for the material used in filling

These mutual aid and benefit fea-
lures are not peculiar to the ''Centro
de Dependencies" alone; several OF
the other <'centros" have practically
the same features. OF all Of them, the
"Centro Gallego" is the largest and
wealthiest. It has a membership of

The second largest is the 'Centro AS
turianO," which has a membership OF
$1,000, composed chiefly of Spaniards,
but with a considerable Cuban con-
tingent that is also represented on
the governing board. It has one of
the handsomest buildings in Havana
Cor it's home, covering an entire square
and including one Of the best theaters
in the city. Some of the "centros,"
such as the 'Balear" and "Castellano,"
admit women as we'll as men to men,
bership; and for an additional fee OF
so cents a month give medical aid to
other members Of the family of a
member. Although the medical serv-
ices rendered are the chief attractions
of. these latter institutions, they also
have a clubhouse in addition to the
sanitarium. :.~.' ~ ~. ..'.'.
In addition to the "centros," Havana
has large number Of other clubs that
differ in no material respect from the
typical social, athletic and political
clubs Of other large cities. For the
sake OF convenience IucSC AAAy OC VA
vided into city and country clubs.
Among the former the foreign clubs
occupy an important position, and OF
these the Spanish Casino is the larg-

the good American friends should be

Of compulsory military service-ahead
Of her by about thirteen years. Incred'

Old Fighting Methods Zone.
OF course the old style army Of Siam
had it's share Of entertaining traditions
to make a tremendous demonstra.
ton of overwhelming force to scare
the enemy, always ut good safe dis
lance from hinl-wns one Of them, and
when an accidental blunder placed the
opposing forces within reach Of a hu-
man voice, then to hurl at the enemy
terrific stream Of heroic epithets and
vile vituperatiOns, and If the matter
came to the worst, then under no cir
cumstances whutever let the men lose
their heads to the extent of launching
n bayonet charge, but let their spOkes-
man challenge the other side to put UP
warriOr-the champion Warrior-to
deadly duel with the hero Of their
own camp, and let the two warrior rep
resentatives decide the fate Of the
war! My own heroic countrymen In
Japan have not the slightest excuse to
make merry over this procedure. Not
so many centuries ago their own brave
ancestors we're wont to resort to this
method Of economical warfare, espe-
cially in many interclan brawls.
This sort of thing is now but a
quaint memory with the modern army
Of Siam, however. In 1904 the law of
universal military service went into eff
feet. Years before that a number of
the sons Of the Siamese nobility had
been trained in the military schools
of Europe and Of the United States.
They had returned home literally
kindling with enthusiasm for the new
order of things. They had seen that
modern army and navy had good
deal to do with the dignity Of mod
ern state and with her very moral
standing. They could not quite make
out the logic Of the thing. But they
just knew that 1t was right. Back
home in Siam they lost no time in be-
coming ut once the prophets and
preachers Of this new doctrine Of ma
tiOnal prestige.
What they have accomplished up to
the present writing is not likely to
turn the tide Of the world war in Eu-
rope, as has been limited. But they
have made something Of beginning.
OF that there is not ghost Of doubt.
And the development Of the Siamese
army and navy should be more inter
esting to the British statesmen than to
the militarists Of Germany-if truth
were told.

Alpha Gamma Chi Party.

The Misses NcrlIa Hoover and

selves very charming hoslcsscs
last evening at a Valentine party
given to the Alpha Gamma Chi
girls at the I'lcrnry home on
Fourth street.
krnsington work occupied the
carly part of the evening and LAT
ter several very novel stunts af-
fOrded much amusement. First of
these was a musical stunt. Each
girl was given Valentine card
bearing the name of some popular
piece OF music and each girl i'm
her turn was to delight Inc
guests by singing the song named
on her card, as we'll as playing
her own accompaniment How
ever the playing proved entirely
too difficult in most cases and
was wished upon Miss MabIr Dali
ton. who was awarded gold
medal at the close of the contest
for her bravery and endurance.
for it was necessary in most
cases for the song to be played
over at least six times in order
that each aspiring entertainer
might concentrate her scattered
nerves for the final execution of
the truly terrible task. 1t still
remains a mystery as to the
weakness of some of the vocal
