USE SUPERHEATERS IN JAPAN
Adoption Of Japanese Railways Dates
From 1871, When German Engines
Were Put In Use.

Japan has adopted superheated loco

1902-O3, when the Schmidt super
heater was coming into general use. a
smokebox superheater vas manufac-
tured for trial purposes in Japan, but
the test did not develop the desired
results. The adoption Of the Schmidt
superheater on japanese railways
dates from 1911, when some engines
ordered from Germany were put In
service on the state railways. These
were followed by other locomotives or
dered from America. Because Of Eng
lish influence the continuous vacuum
brakes were adopted, and are now in
general use.-Railway Age Gazette.

HENRY FOURTH OF GERMANY
Kings Troubles in Helping to Rule the
World Included Much Suffering
and Humiliation.

! OF all the w%rangling monarchs who
had a part in running the world during
the infancy of government none was
more picturesque than Henry w Of
Germany. And he suffered perhaps
the greatest humiliation that ever vas
visited upon q king, writes a historian.
Gregory VII became pope in the sew
enth decade Of the eleventh century.
The election did not please Henry in
the least. Under the pilfered title Of
Roman king he claimed a share in pa
pal affairs and did not propose to be
treated lightly. But Gregory persuad-
ed him to confirm his elevation. Then
d~issension broke out between the two,
and Henry's partisans unseated the
pope, who retired tG Canossa, in the
.Apennines.
Gregory retaliated on Henry by
welding that most powerful weapon
of the church-excommunication. This
casting out of the faith was the most
feared Of all fates In ancient days, and
Y g IIcnry's close advisers fell away
from him. The king faced the storm
bravcly enough, but things went
against him and he decided to pro-
pitiate Gregory. So, in the midst of
winter he crossed the Alps, u truly pro-
d!gious undertaking in those times, and
presented himself before the castle
where Gregory was staying. asking au-
dience, At first Gregory refused, but
then consented on condition that Hen
ry dismiss all his attendants and enter
alone. The German complied and
quilted his suite to go inside the walls.
Further on he came to a second gate,
where he was told that the pope had
ordered him Invested of all his regal
ornaments and clothing before proceed
ing. Henry reluctantly consented, and
received in exchange IL coarse WOODEN
tunic. Wearing this. he passed through
the gate, thinking his troubles owe
But there remained a last gate and a
final trial. For three days and nights
he was kept standing outside the gate
In severe weather. fasting from norm
ing until night. At the end Of that
time Gregory finally had the king
ushered before him and agreed to lift
the ban II Henry would consent to a
truce between them, made distinctly
on the pOpe'S terms. To this Henry
agreed and was restored to the church.
He left soon after, nursing his hatred
for Gregory and determined to square
accounts. This led to the pope nomi-
mating another prince for Henry's
throne and to endless warfare. The
king was communicated a second
time and continued under the ban most
of his troublous life. There have been
few instances of a monarch undergo
ing any such humiliation as that he ex-
p%erienced, standing outside the pope's
door for three days In freezing weather.
