ONLY THE PUGILISTS
HAVE FAILED TO STRIKE

London = johannesburg. South
Africa, has grown so used to strikes
of all kinds that they have ceased
to be effective there, and yet they
continue. The tearoom girls, in
particular, are always striking, us
ing the hottest afternoons. STEM
ographers meet secretly in each
others rooms and plan walkouts.
Chauffeurs are in perpetual turmoil,
The unrest of the BARRIERS is sharply
manifested. The bank clerks, threat
ening to close down, have the hearty
support of every man with an over
draft. Only the professional pugi-
lists have failed to strike. The cables
are in n decline. Since the trade
union forming fortnight" which the
Rand enjoyed a little while ago,
there has been no time to do any,
thing but negotiate.

MAN OF IMAGINATIVE MIND
Amono Many Useful Inventions Of
Seth Boyden Was That Of Pop
ular Patent Leather.

The first "patent" leather was the
invention of Seth Boyden, who was
born in Foxboro, Mass, one hundred
and thirty years ago. He was brought
up on a farm and educated in a dis
trict school and in the village black
smith shop, where he spent all his
leisure time 'tinkering" and expert
menting. His first invention was
machine for making nails and files.
Later he invented machine for split
ting leather, and in 1915 he engaged
in the leather business in Newark, N.
J. In 1916 he invented an appliance
for cutting brads and in the following
year he perfected his "patent" leath-
er. The leather prepared by this
process gradually became popular, ana
until 1881 Boyden was principally EN-
gagged in it's manufacture. He then
turned his attention to steam engines,
and made several improvements in To-
comotives. He took part in the Cali
fornia gold rush Of '49, but soon re-
turned to New Jersey, where he en-
gagged ir farming and produced varl-
ETY. of strawberries vastly superior to
any then known in both size and quail
ity. He died in 1870, and his memory
is perpetuated by statue at Newark.

CAR TO LIVE III LEGEND
World May Look for All Sorts OF

The car Of Russia is lost in Legend.
Unless he shall again appear definite
ly in the flesh, so that his identity may
be positively established before all the
world. the question Of his fate will be
always disputed lie will take his
place in the list with the lost dauphin
of France, who is supposed to have
lived a quiet life in America after be-
ing spirited away. and with John
Ord" brother of Franz Josef, who
renounced his title and sailed away in
a vessel reported lost with all hands,
but who is supposed to be living In
cognito on an obscure, palm-shaded Is
land, far from the reach Of the tur-
moil that marked the last days Of the
HapSburg court.
AS result of the conflicting stories
now Being circulated regarding the
car, the public mind is already divid-
ed as to whether bolshevik bullet
really ended his life or whether the
Count Tatichev, the emperor'S person
al military attache, with supreme de-
votion to duty, died in his masters
stead. Only the clearing up OF the
mystery can prevent the reports years
hence that in the death of some OBJ
scure old man of foreign appearance
the end has finally come to him who
was once Autocrat Of all the Russias.

Few Reminders of Raids.

Studious lovers of London will not
fail to notice how swiftly, true to her
marvellous gift of eternal youth, she is
obliterating every trace 'e.the air raid
period as if it had nevel ~en. Some
of the scars made by ''emy bombs
still remain, as in the wholesale mar
ket in Covent Garden, but they might
pass as unnoticed as the effects of re-
cent fires which are Always to be
found in the great city. Notices of the
air raid shelters are, however, already
hard to find; an odd one may be dis
covered on a lamp post in Tottenham
Court road, or at Gresham college,
which had not found leisure to tear
down the shabby poster about it's use
as an air raid shelter; while in
Southampton row the New Zealand
record office has not yet demolished its
sandbag revetment. Speaking general
ly, however, all signs Of the reign Of
terror by night have vanished like
the baseless fabric of dream, leaving
not q wrack behind."-London Globe.

Paper Underciothinq.

An excellent and durable quality Of
underclothing has been made Of fine
grained paper by japanese manufac-
turers. After the paper has been cut
to a pattern the different parts are
sewn together and hemmed, and the
places where the buttonholes are to
be formed are strengthened with calico
or linen. The paper is very strong and
at the same time very flexible. After
a garment has been worn few hours
It will interfere with the perspiration
of the body no more than do garments
made of cotton fabric. The paper is
not sized, nor is it impermeable. After
becoming wet the paper is difficult to
tear. When an endeavor is made to
tear it by hand it presents almost as
much resistance as the thin skin used
for making gloves.

Roosevelt and Jiu Jitsu.

At Professor Kano'S jiu jitsu acad-
emy in Tokyo many years later 1 met
Professor Yamashita, who had taught
the Japanese art to President Roose-
Welt in Washington three times a
week for three years.
The president, he said, was his best
pupil, but also his most dangerous.
Every heavy, very strong, very impet-
nous, he always attacked as if he was
going to kill me. Oh, many bruises,
much worry, great trouble, I assure
you.
81 could not tell him. It is not jiu
jitsu to complain, but when he would
get me almost killed my trouble was
to save my life without hurting him.
No matter how madly he attacked I
could not hurt. l could not kill the
president of the United States That
was my point of honor."-J. 1. G.

Far more popular than the church

almost secretly, in an old WaShrooln,

born when the first Y. NJ. G. a. sec
retary arrived and gave six or eight
books which he found in his trunk
to members of the head committee
to read, Johan ". PrinZ writes in

essary because the Russians never
gave the men enough to eat. Here
they had a chance, once in a while,
to get hearty meal for a few ko-

have I heard upon those kitchens,
which really became blessing for

MYSTERY OF LIFE.
Who Knows Where It Comes

Marked Difference Between Mankind
and the Wild Things, in Their View

tie impressed.

Some folks talk about "the mystery
of life," and it is as good way as any
to speak of it. For, truth is. nobody
seems to know anything about life.
Yet everything pays more attention to
living than to anything else. l'rac-
tically every motive in tile world,
among the wild things, is to live.
Not even man. with all his lnowl-
edge, knows where life comes from. OR
what it is. George F. Burba writes in
the Columbus Dispatch.
It is just the opposite of death. ne
will tell you; one either lives or dies
If he is living. the body is in certain
condition. The blood flows through
the veins. The heart beats. The body
is WARM. One is conscious of that
which goes on about him. The very
opposite is true when thing is dead.
whether the thing is q man OF q Cog
or bird or fish. But the why If it,
all-nobody understands that.
The wild things strive with all tneir
might to escape death, but they pay
little attention to the dead things about
them. 1t doesn't seem TO make any
impression upon an animal to run up
on another animal that is dead, out IN
the woods. They fear death. but they
do not respect the dead, nor show any
emotion in the presence Of death.
They do not know what it iS-tllat is.
they do not know that the dead crea'
ture they encounter in the woods is
dead and done for. If it is something
they want to devour, they devour it;
if it is not, they pass on without pay
ing much attention to it.
Death is more of mystery to man.
That is, it impresses him to a great
er extent. He thinks more of it. He
tries no harder to live than do the wlld
things, but there is something in con-
nection with the presence Of dead
creature that impresses human be-
ing. This is especially true if one es-
counters death out in the fields or
woods. Tramping through forest. and
coming suddenly upon dead animal.
one pauses in contemplation of the
mystery before him. Yesterday a
splendid stag, let us say, roaming the
woods in triumph; strong and swift
and beautiful; conscious of his strength
and fieetness; living-breathing, see
ing, feeling. Today-there he lies.
His coat roughened by the winds or
rain, his eyes sightless, his limbs with
out motion-unconscious he lies there
like log rotting in the elements. Can
this be the stag Of yesterday? Is the
thing called life all he needs today to
arouse him from the slumber-to
smooth his splendid coat, to bring the
CLEAN of light into the eye, to give
speed to the limbs? Then, whence the
thing called life? Or, from whence did
it come in the beginning?
Thus do we mediate and marvel
at the mystery of life@and death when
we are in the presence of death-espe-
cially if we encounter it in the great
shadows of the forest-out where there
is nothing to interrupt us, out where
reigns that which gives life and which
recalls it! &%~
