determine the value of germs In assist

functions. He fed animals on food that
had been carefully sterllzed, and com
pelled them to breath eermlesa air.
The eprlment proved that the pres

effect of th deprivation. First they
oegan 10 oroop, men lost their appe

Was found that the food simply would
not assimilate when the microbes were
absent. This series of experiments has
been extended to the vegetable world.
It is now proved that certain plants can
only assimilate th nitrogen which I

action of ths microbe that live at their

Orsat Eadaraas of th Coolie Who

Tokyo.- Juno IB For th 'rlklsha,
which la the greatest blessing travelers
In the east enjoy, w hav to bles an
American sailor who came her on Com
modore Perry' flagship in VU. and then
returned seven or eight years later as a
missionary of the Methodist persuasion.
His name was Jonatnan uooei. ana ne
Is mentioned In Commodore Perry
narrative a a ploua man of rare In
telligence, who took great Interest In
the spiritual welfare of the Japanese.
Oobel was one of the earliest members
of what wa known a the Newton
mission, a system of evangelical work
Inaugurated very soon after Japan was
opened to foreigners by a Connecticut
gentleman of that name.
The jlnrlkisha is another Illustration
of the old adage that necessity is the
mother of Invention, for Brother Oobel
was afflicted with rheumatism In his
later years and found It difficult to
navigate. The sedan chair which was
used by the nobility was too close for
hi in, and the kago, a vehicle In which
the humbler classes were in the ha,blt of
carrying the lame and the lasy, was
very uncomfortable for his long legs, so
he took a packing case, painted It black,
as aproprlate to his dignity, and set It
upon a pair of wheels. For shelter from
the sun he rigged a canvas awning that
could be raised or lowered according to
his convenience, and he hired a brawny
coolie to haul htm about. This was the
origin of the vehicle which take the
place of carriages and treet cara In
Japan, Korea. India and China, for
Brother Uobel's Invention has spread
all over the coast.
So useful an Invention needed a good
name, therefore Brother Gobel called It
a jln (man) rlckl (power) sha (carriage).
But the swells perfer to term It a
kuruma. It looks like an exaggerated
baby carriage and is very comfortable
for riding.
Gobel a Muscular Christian.
Jonathan Gobel 'was a muscular
Christian. He feared God and lived a
righteous life. He desired every one
else to do so, and, when moral suasion
failed, he often tried force. When he
arrived In Japan he was a stalwart,
powerful fellow, and usually came out
uppermost when he wrestled with sin.
He was living In Kanagawa when he
endeavored to Impress upon the people
of that place the propriety of Sabbath
observance. The Japanese have no
Sunday. They have no fixed day of
rest. Their holidays are numerous, and
worship continues without Interruption
In the temples. There Is no particular
time for preaching, and it Is always
proper to pray. Therefore every natlvo
works seven days In the week. Brother
Gobel admonished the people of the sln-
tuiness or Sabbath beaklng. but was un.
able to convince them and It grelved his
neart.
Passing from his home to his r,ino r
preaching one Sunday ha found a dozen
men or more engaged In building a
house. He stopped to talk with thm
and entreated them to cease their sin
ful labor. They refused to do so. He
ordered them to stop and they declined.
i nen, seising a heavy bamboo pole, he
smote them hip and thigh. Several
were laid out senseless, and the next
morning Brother Jonathan was a pris
oner before the consul-general, charged
wun aggravated assault and battery.
This case appears as one of the first in
the records of the United States con
sulate, and is st forth with amusing
acrcaus. xne mlslsonary pleaded "gull
ty with trong provocation," and was
put under bonds to keep the peace.
Mr. Gobel afterward built himself a
modern house on what Is known as
'the Bluff."' south of Yokohama, and
surrounded his grounds with the first
fence that was ever built In this part
of the world. It was made of bamboo
palings, and the boys In the neighbor
hood used to annoy .the good missionary
greatly by rattling sticks against it as
th;y ran along 'the street. The British
admiral lived Juf t above him and had a
very natty Tommy Atkins for an or
derly. He wore a little round cap on
ths northeast corner of his head and
a'iays carried a little cane of rattan
In his hand. One morning, having been
sent with a message, he appeared before
the admiral with his face bruised to a
jelly and his uniform tattered and torn
and covered w'.th dust.
"Mercy on us!" exclaimed the admiral,
In astonishment at the spectacle, "what
hashapened Ho you?"
"I beg your pardon, sir," replied Tom.

The 'rikishas are all made. In Japan,
and a large number are exported to the
neighboring countries. They cost from
17 to $40, according to the care bestowed
on their ' construction, the material
used and the character of their decora
tion, but they could not be made for
more than twice that money In the
United States. Many, of them are
owned by the coolies wtw draw them,
others toy companies or private Indivi
duals who let them to the coolies for a
share of the money they make. Toucan
hire them by the week for S yen ($2.50),
by the day for 75 sen (3714 cents), 10 sen
(5 cents) an hour for ordinary service or
10 sen for a, trip of not more than two
miles.
The system of operating them hi very
much like that In use by our hackmen
at home. Each .'rlklsha man has his
name and number upon his hat and his
lantern. He hi registered at police head
quarters and pays a small tax to the
government. Those that are attached
to the tourists' hotels are required to
pay a small percentage for the privilege,
as they get more patronage and many
fees that do not fall to the lot of the
ordinary man on the street.
They Wear a loos tunlo and tights of
blue or white cotton cloth that reach
not quite to the knees and are often
entirely barelegged tn the hot months
of the summer. Sometimes on a hot
day when he has to go Into the country
your 'rlklsha man will strip down to a
brtech-clout. On his head he wears
a hat of woven bamboo, covered with
canvass,' that I the shipe of an In
verted wash-bowl, and on his feet a pair
of "warajl," or sandals woven of rice
straw, that cost less than half a cent.
They are made In every village and In
almost every farmhouse, and th coolie
usually ha two or three pair strapped
to th sxl of hi 'rlklsha, as they wear
out rapidly on th gravel of the road,
In the winter he got barefooted, just
as he doe In th summer, wit nothing
but hi "warajl" to protect hi flesh
from th mow. , ' '
; ftemariab for Their Radar.
The 'rlklsha mA are very remarkable
for tbalr endurance and many of them
for thslr :d. . Th other day I tods
twenty tntlesj tn lea than thro hour
over a country road that bad som tong
hills, and at the end or the journey
there wa scarcely a sign of weartnea
among -the acversi Yiktaha men In our
party. It t customary and proper on
theoe long tide to take two men. one
of them works In th shaft and the
other assists by pulling on a rope made
fast around his boulders, or pushes
from behind' when the road U hilly.
They win go fifty or slxity mile a day
for weeks at a Una and keep a gait of
six miles an hour, but they expect to
have one hqur'a rest In three.- Thoy
will travel farther and faster and with
less fatigue than h ordinary road
horse. Their gait as an even trot, with
the head and shoulders Inclined for
ward. The comfort of the passenger de
pend very much upon the way the
shafts are held. If they are .too high or
too low he tires easily, but when the
coolie gets accustomed ito your most
comfortable posture he will accommo
date hi shafts to It and you rid with
less fatigue than tn a carriage. The
coolies are always amiable and happy;
they never get cross or stubborn, and
they take great mterest In their pas
sengers. Some of them cpeak a little
Kii'Sllsh and make desperate efforts to
explain and point out objects of curio
sity along the road.
Short Shrift for Gamblers.
Gambling Is prohibited In Japan un
der a heavy penalty. In China it Is as
common as eating. No gambling houses
are allowed - to exist on this Island.
Games of chance are always Interrupt
ed and suppressed by the police, and al
though they cannot entirely eradicate
the vice or prevent Ms practice In the
clubs of 'the higher class or In the huts
of the coolies the punlhmnt of those
detected la so severe that ft is less com
mon here 'than In any other country.
The other day, while we were climb
ing a long hill on the-twenty-mile Jour
ney I ihtvve referred to, we raw a city
rlklsha man squatting on the ground
ahead of us trying to Imterest eome In-
nooent looking countrymen In what
looked like a thlmble-rlg game. He had
spread a mat upon the ground and had
some cubes of wood and little boxes
which he was nt&rvlpulaitlng In a way
that excited great Interest In the group
around him.
The 'rlklsha man who led our party
tried faithfully to give him a signal, for
we tod a drtectlve with us. But the
cool be was so Interested In hb game
ithut he did net notice the warnings or
perceive his danger until the officer was
almost abreast of him. Then he gave
a clhrlek of alarm and started down
the hill at a gait that would have done
credit to a thoroughbred race horse.
leaving h1a paraphernalia. uoni the
ground and his 'rlklsha In. the gutter.
The dtitectlve made a thrust at him
wtlih the sword cane he carried, but
the blow feill short, and h passed on
without giving ths matter any further
attention, but he told us afterward that
If he had been going toward the town
Instead of oiwav from it he would have
arrested the man, whose penalty would
have been at tat two montihs in Jail
and a fine of $10, which, la equal to
three months' pay.
Some of the 'rlkteha cooll?s are very
elaborately tatooed. The art of tattoo
ing has reached Its highest stage In
Japan, and some of the specimens one
sees on the titreet are. very elaborate
and artistic. Like everything else, the
work Is cheaply done. You can have
a beautiful picture of colors tattooed
upon your back or breat that will last
a lifetime for $2 or $3. and a skillful ar
tist wlH p1a.ee an indelible portrait of
your lady love on your arm at about
the cost of an ordinary photograph at
