Prison Journals in Japan.

It is an interesting fact that the
large prisons in Japan are publishing
journals for circulation among the con.
victs. AS a means of perpetuating the
memory of last years imperial corona
ton, the prison authorities started the
publication of monthly journals for the
benefit of prisoners, who are of course
practically cut off from news of the
outside world. These papers, which
are mostly filed with moral stories and
other neutral matter considered suit
able for prison inmates, are edited and
published by the prison officials, and
are reported to enjoy great popularity
among the convicts. The journal pub
lished by the KOsuge prison, Tokyo, is
entitled MadO-nO-Hikari (The Light of
the Window and that issued by the
SugamO prison, Tokyo, is called Kinen
(COmmemOratiOn). Both are said to be
very creditable publicatiOns.-Japan

WHERE COAL IS soc A TON
Prices Have Scared So High in Italy
That People Have Resorted to
Ancient Heating Method.

With coal selling at $50 a ton, and
the government gradually taking over
all existing supplies and prohibiting
it's use by hotels and boarding houses,
and with gas and electricity dear or
the supply reduced, Italian households
and business offices have had to re-
vert to the ancient method of burning
finely powdered wood charcoal dust
in a two-gallon earthen jar, says the
Toronto Globe.
The jar is filed half full of char
coal dust, placed in the open air or
near an open window, and some live
Goals of wood or charcoal put in the
center Of the dust. Slow combustion
is started and gradually the entire sur
face of the dust burns to ashes while
the smoldering fire reaches downward
When, after II hours, no more smoke
and little gas is given off, the heated
jar is placed in the cold room and lei
stay there for "a hours, after which
a fresh layer of dust is placed in the
jar and the process repeated.
Before the war this means of heat
ing had been abandoned except by the
very poor.

New Cotton Menace Appears.

The pink boil worm, the most dread
ed Of all cotton pests, has appeared in
Mexico. This is a relatively new
plague and apparently had its origin
in India. 1t reached Egypt something
like eight years ago. The widespread
demand for Egyptian cotton has made
it comparatively easy for the worm to
travel to substantially all of the cot
ton producing countries. The pink
ball worm hibernates. In the larval
state, in the cotton seed and because
of this habit is readily carried to any
quarter of the world by seed or raw
cotton expectation. The worm is said
to be spreading north towards the
United States boundary.

MUST STAND GREAT PRESSURE
Steel in Modern Guns Is Subjected to
Strain Which Is Beyond Ordinary
Comprehension.

Modern high-power guns could not be
resist the enormous pressure to which
they are subjected. How great these
pressures are is beyond cOmprehen-
sion, says the Wall Street Journal.
At each discharge of a gun, in the
case of field pieces, for less than three
tenths of a second the pressure ex-
ceeds 20 tons to the square inch, and
the speed of the prOjectile leaving the
muzzle is more than $500 feet a Sec
Ond. The energy developed is placed
at about 100000 fOOt-pOunds. In other
words, considering the cannon mo-
tor working during an exceedingly
short time, it's rating is about 20,OO0,OOO
horse power.
Not only must the metal be able to
resist these strains time after time,
but to do so under unfavorable con-
ditions, such as high temperatures
produced by the explosives. And not
only must the metal of the gun be
as strong as this, but it is the same
with that of the shell. The shell of
a French '75" supports a pressure
estimated at II tons, the work
Of the device that takes up the recoil
reaches about II tons to the square
inch, and the mount neutralizes at
each discharge about two tons.
1t has been possible to test in the
machine shops the pieces Of battery
that has fired several thousand shots
and to show that they have suffered
not the slightest reformation.

is likely to prove one of the best meth
DDS for this work. He sends a beam
of light through the water to be an

age limit of seventeen years. but this
season that is to be removed, accord
ing to definite report, and just as strong

together to open the schedule.
A meeting is booked for Thursday
night at 424 9th street to get things in
readiness for the beginning of the year.
John J. Ernst founded the league last
summer. and proba bly, will be its pres
ident again. Applications of teams for
franchises are to be voted on at the
meeting this week. and other matters
relating to the future of the organiZa-
tion acted on with definiteness.
President Young of the amateur as
sociation is anxious that all the league
presidents get their managers together
at least once before the regular annual
meeting of the association. Much al
ready has been done by individuals,
but it will be necessary to have Off
cial league action, If possible. If this
idea is carried out by those at the
head of the leagues the workings of
the association. as a whole, will be
greatly simplified Also, the proceed
ings will be of much greater interest

BY H. C. BYRD.

President Robert H. Young of the
Amateur Base Ball Association OF the
District of Columbia is making ar
rangements to call meeting of that
body the latter part Of this month to
inaugurate preparations for the open
ing of the season in the leagues under
it's Jurisdiction. With the beginning
of spring plans for the various leagues
are begun by the presidents of the
organizations. and each usually is able
to give definite reports of what he ex-
poets in regard to his league.
More elaborate plans than usual are
contemplated for the season on the
amateur diamonds. Several confer
ences have been held between individu-
ais interested, and if their ideas ma
ture the sport is due for a much better
year than it enjoyed in 1915, which
was better than the average.
At least one new league probab bly,
will affiliate with the association-the
Capital City Amateur. Last season this
organization played through it's sched-
ule successfully, although operating as
