Sprouts After 1000 Years.

At the Zensui Temple, Iwane village, Koga-gun, Shlga Prefecture, q very an cient wooden idol of Vnisravana was opened four years ago and some rice that had reposed therein fully ten cen turies was removed and planted. The seeds germinated and the rice grown therefrom appears to be similar in all respects to that of the present day. The yield was large and the crop for next year from this seed Is expected to be excellent.
 Vaisravana Is the God of Treasure. When the statue was repaired a bag of coarse fiaxen textile was exhumed con- taining rice seeds, with piece of pa per bearing the following inscription, in Chinese: This image has been en- graved for the peace of the world. If any one of later generations opens 1t, he should put in new seeds" The Tokyo Academy of Fine Art pro- nounces the image and its contents of great antiQuity-at least 1000 years cd.

IN ITALY
REPORTED AS LUCKY

American Aviation Training Camp,
Southern Italy. Jan. TO- BY mai)
You can't Kill an American" is
the dictum of the Italian officers
training the several hundred young
ayiators who have been flying here
since the end OF September, when,
by arrangement with the Italian
government. this camp was estab-
lished.
The Americans have such repu-
tation for luck that Italian soldiers
come here so they may touch one Of
the aviators. 'It brings us good
luck. too" they explained.
The Americans fly from morning
to night virtually every day. Not a
single one has been killed and but
three have been injured at all SER
iously. One of the latter, on his
third trip alone, got into an air sit
uation which he did not understand,
with the result that he stopped his
motor whereupon the machine be-
gan to plunge downwards until Its
fall was checked by the telegraph
wires OF the railway station Of the

Germs Harry Harris, of California,
who got lost. first in the clouds, and
then in central Italy. He was a
couple Of hours going away and a
whole week coming back to camp.
AS he afterwards explained, he went
up for an altitude and when he got
above the clouds he was unable to
discover whether he was flying up
side down or right side up. or
whether the earth was above or be-
low him.
Finally. after grazing a few noun
tain tops of the Apprentices. he
lighted in the center OF village

eat. As he couldn't speak italian,
his explanation that he was Amer

who had never heard Of American
aviators in Italy but had heard a
lot about those of Austria who have
the unpleasant habit Of dropping
bombs on coast towns along the Ad-
riatic.
However. he was fed and started
campwards, after couple Of days of
detention. He had flown nearly a
