PERFECT IMAGE OF HIMSELF
japanese Wood Worker Credited With
Production Of Really Marvellous
Work Of AT.

The most marvellous wood workman
In the world is Hananuma Masakichi.
Of Toxic. Japan, who has carved q fig-
ure in wood 90 like himself that when
the two are placed side by side II Is
said to be almost impossible to tell
which lives and breathes and which
does not. BY several connoisSeurs In
art this. wooden figure has been pro-
nounced the most perfect and human
image OF man ever made. Masakichi
has faithfully reproduced every scar,
vein and wrinkle to be seen on his
body. The figure Is composed OF
1000 pieces Dr. wood dovetailed and
1ointed with such skill that no seams
can be detected.
Tiny holes were drilled for the re-
ception of hairs, and the wooden hg-
ure has glass eyes and eyelashes In
which no dIssimilarity to Masakiehi's
own can be detected.
The Japanese artist posed between
two mirrors while modelling this ig-
ure and for some time after its com
pIeti0n he posed frequently beside IL,
to the confusion OF spectators, who
were often entirely at a loss as to
which was the artist The figure

ANSWER TO OLD coNUNDRUM
AZ Last Is Explanation Made ~ TO
SNHhy Does q Hen cross
the Roadfs

Now that a savant has given serious
thought to the behavior and motive
Of a hen crossing a road, an ancient
eonuDdrum, one Of the best known in
the world, receives plausible solution.
Whoever has closely observed a hen
must have noticed that her eyes are
50 placed that she looks on both sides
but does not look straight ahead Her
left eye, for example, sees an ap-
preaching automobile. and her quick
decision is to run away from IT. But
she cannot take her eye or the dan
gerous object. Instead Of fieeing to
the right, which would take her on the
road, she runs to the left, constantly
watching the automobile, and so
crosses the road directly in front Of II.
The savant approaches the cOnundrum
from a point Of view different from
that Of the wag 10 Miller. who is said
to have invented 1t, but the conclusion
seems to be much the same. The hen
wishes TO cross the road. although 1t
might be added that her desire de-
ponds very much on her way of look
ing at things-C Christian Science Mon
