Japan Is Exporting Pulp. .

japanese imports of pulp have en-
countered obstacles, but, according to
the Japan Chronicle, it is believed that
the Stocks held by paper manufacture
ers generally are sufficient to last I'M
til the end of this year, While the do
nestle manufacture of pulp, stimulated
by import difficulties, has nppreciably
developed. AS Il result, efforts are
now being made by some merchants
to export homemade pulp.
The Chronicle states that this is
net to be the disadvantage of those
paper manufacturers who are suffer-
ing from the scarcity of imported pulp,
for what they essentially Want it not
yet producible in this country. 1t finds
that there is no excessive domestic
pulp that is exported.

WRITES HIMSELF TO DEATH
Anagram Writing From Shakespeare
Works Takes Vitality of Noted
British Author.

The death of Capt. Basil Willett
Charles Hood, the British author, was
brought about by his excessive at
tempts at anagram writing from Shake
speare's works, according to testimony
Mt the inquest in London. He was
fifty-three years old and former Off.
Ger of the Prince of Wales West York
shire regiment.
The coroner, according to the Lon.
don Times, said it was evident what
caused death. Captain Hood was en-
gagged in laborious undertaking, con-
structing writing out of the cryptic
grams which he alleged that he found
in Shakespeare.
"There are reams of writing here
said the coroner. ''Every single let
ter is written most carefully, and it
must take months to file all this stuff
about secret writing and various mes
sages which he purperted to have
found concealed by means of cryptic
grams in Hamlet and other plays. 1t
seems to me that he has been working
very late at night and all day at this
rubi1isl-it cannot be called anything
else-and has been eXhausting hinlsclf
and wearing out his nervous system be
going without proper amount of
nourishment because he thought his
brain more active on an empty stoln-
ach. All the time he was using his
strength in this way he was exhaust
ing his strength

"eEsuNDHEIT" - THEN WOE
Citizen of German Origin, Patriotic to.
Last Ditch, Makes Disastrous
Blunder.

This little story, which appears to be
an orphan, is now going around:
''I'm going to the patriotic meeting
this evening"" said the citizen of Ger
man origin.
No. said the wife, "you mustn't go.
You'll get into trouble, sure"
But he went, despite her remon-
STRANGE. Just before midnight, on the
last street car, he stumbled into his
domicile. The good wife was sitting
up for him.
When he appeared his eyes were
black and blue, his face was scratched
and puffed, his collar had been torn
from his shirt and he looked as though
he had been rolled in the dirt.
"Ah," said the wife, 81 told you not
to go to that meeting, that something
would happen to you"
ut was not at the meeting,' ex-
planned the husband. 'The meeting
was all right. There were three
speeches, and, like everybody, else, I
applauded everyone of them. The
band played the "Star-spangled Pan
ner." Everybody stood up So did l.
ut was after the meeting. I was
coming home on the street car. The
car was crowded. Nlen a woman on
the car sneezed and I said 'Gesund-

CAN CHINA BE INDEPENDENT?
Entrance Into Great World War Is
Viewed From Different Angles
by Editors.

Much division of opinion exists in
Japan regarding China's declaration
of war against Germany. SAYS the
East and West News. Japan took the
final step for two reasons: First, the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, and, second,
a deep-founded belief in the necessity
for solidarity of the far eastern pow
ers. The Osaka Asahi is strongly OPP
posed to China'S participation in the
worlds war. 1t says: "China decided
to take the step, on the arrival of
Vice-President Feng Kuo-chang at Pc
kin. Nothing could be more regret
table than for an independent nation
to be forced by others to do anything
it doesn't want to do. The national
existence of any nation that yields to
coercion or undue persuasion is inn
periled! Some people regarded Japan's
declaration of war against Germany
merely from the viewpoint of the alli-
ance with England, but we favored
Japan's dominance in this part of the
Pacific
The editor of the Asahi wants to
know what Feng Kuo-chang meant
when he fayored declaration of war
by China against Germany, but OBJ
jected strenuously to Joining the en-
tente powers. "Does he mean that,
like the United States, China's declara-
ton of war shall be separate act?'
asks the Asahi. '"The grave fact is
that her present course was forced
upon her. Whether she joins the en-
tente or not matters little for the
present. The serious question is, can
China be independent from now on
ward?"

One Year to Travel Is Miles.

Rudolph Henderson, chief Of the
Southern party Of Stefensson arctic
expedition, has received letter from
Rev. II. Girling, Emanuel, Saskatoon,
who for the last three years has been
trying to reach the so-called blond
Eskimos. The little boat in which
three missionaries comprising the
party were travelling was blown up
by an explosion last spring, and they
lost the greater part of their supplies.
In years time the party had sue
ceeded in travelling only 25 miles along
the coast, so great were the difficult
ties experienced.

cATERPlLLARs CAUSE RASH
Several Cases of Blood Poisoning Re-
ported at Emergency Hospital of
Salt Lake City.

No less than four cases of blood poi
soning and body rash caused by
virulent variety of caterpillar have
been reported to the emergency hos
pital, says the Salt Lake Tribune. Mrs.
Dean r. Daynes of S76 South West
Temple street, appealed to the city
officials for advice in regard to rash
that had broken out on her baby's
back. Mrs. Daynes said she had found
an ordinary looking yellow caterpillar
in her baby's clothing and discovered
the rash later. She was advised to
call in a physician Immediately.
"CaterpillarS are the larvae of 8
lepidopterous insect, not necessarily a
butterfly. in the first stage Of meta.
morphosis," according to Webster. The
larvae of such insects as the geom-
etrid moth or the hawk moth are
smooth and are not poisonous. The
large yellow haired ones have a pencil
of hairs that look like horns and a
fasicule of hairs that resembles tail.
1t is the sting from these hairs that
poisons, as it is almost impossible for
the insect to bite.
No case of caterpillar sting has
proved fatal, so far as the officials of
the Salt Lake hospitals know. Mothers
were advised to keep their very young
children off lawns and from beneath
trees, unless some one was in attend
ance to watch them.
George Williams, thirty eight years
old, of 537 South West Temple, also
of Salt Lake, was bitten on the thigh
by caterpillar while in bed. Within
an hour the poison had spread through
his entire system and a rash had
broken out on his arms and back. He
was treated at the emergency hos
pital, bringing the caterpillar with
him
