JAPS HONOR BRITISH SAILOR) eo Still Revere Memory of William | Adams, Who Led Expedition to ‘Their Country in 1600. Two memorial stone lanterns near the Japanese port of Yokosuka are the people’s tribute to the memcry of William Adams, an English sailor who was the first of his countrymen to settle in Japan, and who ts credited with opening the way for commerce between Britain and Japan. In 1600 Adams led-a trading expedition bound for the West Indies. His fleet consist- ed of five vessels ‘symbolically named Faith, Hope, Charity, Fidelity and Good News. The éxpedition met with many misfortunes of weather and sickness, Their ‘adventures included the loss of eight men who were eaten by cannibals on. one of the Pacific islands. The ship carrying Adams finally reached the coast’of Bungo, in the eastern part of Kyushu, Japan. The ‘Englishmen made friends with the na- tives until the arrival of some Portu- guese Jesuits who told the Japanese leaders the strangers were pirateS and had them imprisoned. The emperor heard of their plight, and had them brought to his palace at Osaka, The ruler finally decided that the men were harmless and released them, retaining Adams at court to teach shipbuilding and other arts to the natives. In 1613 another English sea captain arrived in Japan with letters from the king of England to the emperor of Japan. Through Adams’ influence the English- men and the oriental ruler signed a treaty giving Britain the perpetual right to enter any ports of the empire and trade freely throughout the country. VARIOUS KINDS OF CHARITY And Greater Far Than the Giving ef Alms Is the Prattice of Charity of Thought. Someone has sald that “Charity is the higheSt tree in heaven.” It 1s a saying that we can well believe, for not only dges charity cover a mul- titude of sins but it also covers its devotees with its solace and comfort. It is to be feared, however, that there is a misconception as to the full Meaning covered by the word char- ity. Many people seem te understand that charity consists solely in the giv- ing of alms. And the fact is that alms- giving Is merely one form of charity. There is a charity that we can prac- tice toward those of our fellow men who stand in no need of alms. There are, indeed, many who are well pro- vided with the goods of this -world who stand in great need of charity. The charity of our thoughts is what we stand ‘in need of—Los An- geles Times. Diamond Cutters. There are 25,000 diamond cutters and polishers in the world. Of these only about 675 are in the United States, and these have come mostly since the outbreak of the European war, which crippled the industry in Amsterdam and Antwerp, the world’s greatest centers, . There were at the beginning of the present year 36 dia- mond-cutting establishments in this country. .This is exclusive of shops where all kinds. of precious stones are cut. ¥ The number of Germans eniployed as diamond cutters did not exceed 600 before the War, ‘and of these only 75 per cent worked for establishments in Germany. During the war 600 or 700 Belgian cutters emigrated to Eng- land and organized as a branch of the London Diamond Cutters’ union. They did work principally for Belgian and Russian houses, Protecting Airplane Propellers. An aluminum plating for airplane propellers has been devised for the purpose of protecting the wood from the influence of the weather, which has been a serlous problem heretofore, The plating is a thin leaf which is in- corporated in the finish of the propel- lers, and the idea was developed by the forest products laboratory at Madison, Wis., and placed in produc- tion by the: war department. The process is practically 100 per cent ef- fective in preventing absorption of water, particularly in the storage stage. A French authority states that 80 per cent of the French propellers produced are rejected by the pilots mainly because they are out of bal- ance. This difficulty is due largely to unequal“absorption or distribution of moisture and can be: greatly reduced by an effective water-proofing coating. Stopping a Great Waste. Millions of dollars’ worth of fruit have been wasted in Florida during the quarter of a century. Hereafter nothing will be wasted as the drops, eutls and ripes will all be utilized by new processes evolved by a clever chemist and scientist. The growers and the puplic generally will be helped by these processes, as the former will reap a benefit from the sale of their waste products and the latter will have the benefits of the manufactured products which are greatly in demand. —Fiorida Times-Union, Electrocut® ‘Leopard to Save Peit. A leopard used by a motion-picture concern recently took to sulking, which made him a disagreeable companion for the actors in the jungle scenes, ac- cording to Popular Mechanics Maga- zine. Shooting him with a high-pow- ered rifle was first considered, but was objected to, as it would disfigure the Child of Eight Devours Entire Raw Cod, Two Pounds of Candles and Several .of Butter. “Eccentricities of Diet and Thefr Ef- fect on the Digestion” was the subject of a lecture delivered at the Institute of Hygiene by Dr., Saltau Fenwick. The physician mentioned people who can never eat enough; who have an in- satiable hunger. In appearance they are lean, feeble, ill-favored, and they have carnivorous appetites. However much they eat they are none the bet- ter for it. : One little girl of eight had a special keeper to prevent her from eating the household goods. She would cheerfully | devour seven times as much as any other member of the family, and escap- ing from her attendant one day for a few minutes enjoyed a meal beginning with an entire raw cod, two pounds of kitchen candles and several pounds of butter. She was fortunately found be- fore she got further than these hors d'oeuvres. A girl was locked in a little walled garden for two or three hours. During that time she ate every leaf she could lay hands on, most of the small twigs on shrubs and was discovered in the not of gnawing a bough. One boy ate the whole of his cloth- Ing. A young woman invaded a dairy, ate 29 unboiled eggs, six pounds of but- ter five loaves, and drank three pints of milk and two bottles of wine; after which, providentially for the dairy keeper, she fell asleep.—London Ex- press. INDIAN CITIES VERY ENGLISH In Architecture and Many. Other Ways They Are Copies of Those in the Old Land. The great presidency towns, Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, are European cities planted on Indian soil. All the prom- ihent buildings are European, though in some of the more recent ones an endeavor has been made to adopt what is known as the “Indo-Saracenic” style of architecture. For the rest the streets are called by English names, generally the names of bygone vice- roys and governors, or of the soldiers who conquered the land and quelled the mutiny—heroes whose effigies meet you at every turn. The shops are English shops, where English or Eu- rasian assistants traffic in EngHsh goods. English carriages and motors bowl along the macadamized or tarred roads of old England. On every hand titere is evidence of the instinctive ef- fort to reproduce, as nearly as the cli- mate will permit, English conditions of life. In Bombay, indeed, the mer- chant princes are no longer Euro- peans but Hindus and Parsis. Theirs are the most sumptuous palaces on Malabar hill; theirs the most swagger motors on the Queen’s road and the Apollo Bunder, In Calcutta, though commercial competition is less keen, the great Bengali land owner is a prominent and tmportant personage. But few, indeed, are the points of con- tact between the Asian town and the European city which has been super- imposed upon it.—‘“India and the Fu- ture,” by William Archer, Greatest Efficiency Temperature. Human beings work at the highest point of efficiency in an average tem- perature of 60 to 65 degrees Fahren- heit, according to Ellsworth Hunting- ton, who publishes in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences a mass of statistics from which he makes this deduction. The death rate is lowest in the spring and autumn, “both in Europe and America, when the temperature averages 64 or 65. In many factories all the way from Connecticut to Florida it was found that the maximum of work was pro- duced when the temperattre in the open air ranged around 62 or 63, The muscular force exerted by school children and working men, measured with the dynamometer ev- ery day in all seasons of the year, was greatest when the thermometer was between 60 and 65 Fahrenheit. Bird in Need Found Friend. A North side resident saw_a robin fluttering around in his back yard with what he thought was a broken wing. Realizing that the cats would soon make short work, he caught the robin, intending to get it out of harm's way. On investigation he found that instead of a broken wing it had be come entangled in a piece of string a yard or two long. How it had done this was a mystery, unless it had been getting the string for a nest. It was wrapped around the bird’s neck three or four times, around one wing several times, and its feet were tied as securely as though the hand of man had done [t. A few min- utes’ work with the scissors soon freed the bird, and it took wing, singing as it went.—Indianapolis News. New Member Scored, Some of the occupants of the oppo- sition beriches in the thew howse of commons may not be quite conversant with all the niceties Of parliamentary procedure, but they are quite capable, apparently, of holding their Own all the same. Thus the other day the hon- orable member for Sitvertown, warm- ing to his argument, had just begun, “T want you gentleméb . . . ,” when loud cries of “order” served as a re- minder that he wag addressing “the house.” Mr. Jack Jones’ apology was swift and to the point. “I am sorry,” he said, “I have made a ailstake in valuable pelt. To avoid this, electre- cutien was decided upon, using power Sem 2 aearhy sietien. calling you gentlemen.” — Christian Science Monirer. | 4 HAD A RECORD APPETITE!. ne ' Having sold my farm I will sell at public auction at the home place two and one-half miles west and north of Grangeville, commencing 10 O’Clock Sharp TUESDAY.
