powerful stations can get through

night, for after passing the first

Why Chinese Hate Japs

Why the Chinese hate the Jap
anese so bitterly has been puzzle
to the white man. Some explana-
ton now is offered by K. K. KAYAK
ami, Japanese. His views in the
Independent are with evident de-
tachment from national interest and
even with some sympathy for the
Chinese point of view.
The Chinese are badly treated by
the foreigners who have invaded
their country. They are obliged to
submit to Jim Crow compartments
in cars, and that in their own coun-
try. They are excluded from parks
in the foreign quarters. The labor
ers in cotton mills are paid 40 cents
a day and subjected to corporal
punishment.
Whatever the expediency, Chinese
workers are beaten by their foremen
whether the mills are owned by
British or japanese. or even by the
Chinese themselves. To their Chi
nese masters the Chinese submit as
to inevitable fate 1t is a family
affair. To the lordly whiteman I'M

An Ace of Pictures

At seventy one, George Eastman
can look about him at a world that
has been changed as a result Of MS
inventions and business genius. When
he began his experiments in his
mothers kitchen, photography was
almost as much a mystery as one OF
the black arts. He had to contend
with the unacqountable behavior Oh
tricky chemicals, solve seemingly M
possible mechanical problems, sur
mount financial reverses and busl-
ness set-backs. Had he been perma-
nently discouraged, the amateur
snapshot, the motion picture, and the
pictorial pages of your newspapers
might still be considered a visionary's
dream of a far-off future.
He began experiments in the kit
chen sink and on his mothers stove
Finally a room was set aside for him
as laboratory. There he used TO
toll after his days work in bank,
sometimes till midnight, sometimes
later. An idea that had appeared in
an English magazine gave one hint.
In two years he had worked out his
idea and produced dry plates. Chem
icals and water baths could now be
left at home-no more carrying CT
dark tentsi These dry plates he put
on the market and they began to sell
rapidly. Eastman had discovered his
first personal application of . widely
useful principle-make things easier
for people.
In one room over downtown store,
he started sort of factory. He used
to mix the emulsion at night. The
next day 1t would be applied by his
factory force-one hired assistant. At
first he chung cautiously to his job
in the bank.
Sales grew. Fate. so far as he could
judge, was pitching him a good ball.
1t was UP to him to swing with ali
his energy, then abandon the safety
of the home plate and get out on the
base lines. Reluctantly, he resigned
his job in the bank. Thrifty, careful,
Eastman hated to do that 1t took
courage, self-reliance, and the SPORT
ing spirit. He knew 1t was a risk.
But the bank job assured an income
for his household only so long as he
should be alive and working. Per-
manent financial safety could be
reached only over a road Of risk.

Early American Bottles

Early American bottles were made
on metal molds, often with historic
subject pictured on the side. Thus
we find busts of George Washington.
Benjamin Franklin, General Taylor
and the American eagle, many OF
them with quaint inscriptions. Wash
ington was always designated either
by name or as THE Father of His
Country" The eagle quite often was
accompanied by the word Union"
General Taylor's portrait was given
Endeavored to Do My Duty" "Gen-
eral Taylor Never Surrenders,"
Rough and Ready These are but
few of the many quaint subjects
pictured. The entire list is a long
one and space does not allow me to-
recount it. The log cabin design, the
busts of Jackson and Jenny Lind are
some Of the others.
Color does not guide one In deter
mining the age of old bottles, since
the same tints have been used
throughout all periods Of the manu-
facture of glassware. However, there
is hint to be found in the fact that
the earliest ones appeared in dark
blue or brown, while a little later
they took on the lighter tones such
as amber, green and greenish blue.
The older ones showed plainly the
pontil mark, but in the later exam
pies this rough spot on the bottom of
the bottle was rounded off to
smoothness. The older ones also are-
uneven at the edge of their mouths.
due to the fact that this part was cut
off with shears while the glass was
in molten state. This imperfection
also improved in the later specimens
on which tools were used to make a
smooth surface.-From The Design
er Magazine.

Red Diamond Rare Find

London, (P(-The rare find OF a
red diamond of considerable value is
reported from Kimberley, South
Africa. 1t was found on the alluyiaI
river diggings. This species of
stone is very unusual and is likely
to fetch anything from 100 lbs. to
$50 lbs. carat.
The cutting of the stone has been
placed in the hands of a local firm,
and although the accomplishment Of
this has proved of some difficulty,
the result Will be that a fiawless
stone of about six carats will be
produced.
The gem, at first glance, might be
taken by the uninitiated to be a ruby
of gigantic proportions, as it is an
entirely red stone without a blemish
of any kind. Closer inspection,
however, reveals that 1t possesses ali
the requisite properties of the true
diamond, the grain being absolutely
similar.

safety for the future. So this young
ster took his chance and went ahead.
Risk soon popped into sight in an

perity. A New York wholesaler of

asked him how he could take pictures

and the boy went home from that
interview walking on the clouds. II
seemed a most advantageous ar
rangement that they had made. Tbs
wholesaler had obligated himself to
take a stated amount of stock every
month regularly, and pay for it i'm
mediately. That would keep East
