NV Not Harmful

Ivy on the walls does not make
house damp. The leaves Of the ivy
act as tiny umbrellas to defect much
Of the rain from the wall. OF that
which reaches the wall, some would. be
absorbed by the rootlets of the ivy,
so the net result would be to keep the
wall dried While it is true the ivy
might prevent some of the water alb
sorbed by the wall from evaporating
quickly, yet this effect would be very
small compared with the quantity of
water screened off. A fair growth of
ivy on sound walls that afford no en-
trance beyond the superficial attach
ment of the rootlets, or claspers, is
very beneficial, as it promotes dryness
and warmth and reduces to mini
mum the corrosive action of the at
mosphere.

TOKYO, July 15.--When Commo-
dcre Perry, seeking to open the
door which Japan had kept tightly
closed against the western world
for centuries, appeared off the
Japanese coast in 1854, Ei-ichi Shi-
husawa was a little boy OF fourteen.
Like all the other little boys of
Japan, and the men and women as
well, Elicit was terrified at the
sight of those huge black ships"
bearing men who, to the Japanese
mind, could not be anything but
hostile to the people OF the Mikado's
domain.
Although terrified. Ei-ichi Shibu-
sawa was brave. He was ready to
die, if need be, to keep the invading
white men from despoiling the lands
of his emperor. So he swallowed
the lump of fes,r that rose in his
throat, bucklsd on his sword and
staggered forth, breathing defiance
to the strange mdn from America.
