A ltlllh'tproof Leather
An Italian barrister has Invented
a flexible fabric, somewhat resem
bling leather, which no bullet or
hard steel Instrument Is able to
pierce. A motorcar the tires of
which have been covered with this
material, wan driven along a street
where nails of large dimensions were
stuck In the ground point upward,
and the car passed over them with
out damaging the rubber tires. The
Minister ot Marine, of Italy, person
ally experimented on a piece of this
fabric, Which he unsuccessfully tried
to perforate by firing several re
volve shots at it.
We do not treat street curs In
America as the lowest Japanese coo
lie feels freo to treat a Korean gen
tleman. Only ( this morning, the
Japanese porter carrying my bag
(Koreans are not allowed to ply any
lucrative occupations on or near the
railways or steamboat landings)
wanted to pass an elderly Korean
who stood with his back toward us,
In the railway station. Did the coo
lie turn to one side, and ask the
Dther to move? Not he; with an Im
precation he gave tho man a shove
that knocked him out of the way.
That sort of thing Is so general that
the sixty thousand Japanese now In
Korea are feared by tho twelve mil
lions Koreans to the point of abject
nesB: for an appeal to Japanese
official justice seems to bring noth
ing but increased trouble.
A Japanese broke Into the house
of an English-speaking Korean whom
I know, because the latter would not
sell his property at the Japanese
figure, and smashed the furniture,
ornaments and a hanging lamp. The
Korean, with the help of another,
tied the offender to a chair and sent
(or a policeman. When the latter
came tho only crime he would con
sider was that of "a barbarian tying
up a civilized man," and he took
away as evidence the rope with which
the Korean had committed this
hentous offense!
Is It any wonder, as one of the
leading natives In all Korea said to
me, that the villagers throughout the
country would rather see the black
death enter their community than a
Japanese?
So much of this sort of thing have
I seen with my own eyes, and so
thinly veiled has been the hostility
and Insolence of the lower class
Japanese toward myself and all for
eigners, that, bearing In mind the
repeated assaults upon white men
known to me, I have armed dally for
the first time In my life. Yet the
word that Is ever passing among the
foreigners Is, "Don't pay any atten
tion to Insolence and Insults, and
do not hit back unless your life is
endangered."
The self-conceit, arrogance and
license of the Japanese In Korea
knows no bounds. Nor can the gov
ernment, which so completely con
trols the people In Japan, truthfully
disclaim responsibility for this Btate
of affairs.
From all parts of tho countr- come
reports of the forcible dispossession
of Koreans from their homes In
order that they may be occupied by
the Japanese. "Military necessity"
has been the convenient pretext
under which thousands of acreB have
been seized without compensation
and thousands of Koreans compelled
to work without pay. And military
operations, on a large scale, really
are In evidence In many parts of the
land.
I have seen small cities where al
most the entire business section has
been taken possession of by the Ja
panese. Even the wealthy have ex
hibited to me the same terror which
possesses the poor, namely, that the
Japanese will seize their lands and
homes. One American friend of the
natives showed me a bundle of deeds
to houses and lands that was three
feet in circumference. The deeds
were dono up in packages, of which
1 counted forty-four; the aggregate
of individual documents must have
been more than 200. These have all
been brought to the American for
safety by alarmed Koreans, and he
has bought them for a penny apiece.
Thus far, a foreigner's ownership
of real estate has been usually re
spected, and the natives have turned
over their property in this manner
in order to keep it out of Japanese
hands, hoping for the day when se
curity for life and possessions will
come to Korea.
Japan's conduct In Korea, as any
traveler may see It (though trav
elers seem to be far less welcome In
this picturesque country since Japan
gained control than they are In Ja
pan Itself), Is such as to afford the
best materinl for a new Zola to arise
and startle civilization with a "J'ac
cuse!" For instance, It Is undeni
able that up north the military
whether officially or unofficially
matters not quartered their female
camp followers upon the natives with
such scandalous results that the
church officials compelled the Korean
Christians to abandon their homes
rather than to endure and witness
the demoralizing use that was being
made of them.
Everybody knows that the Japan
ese have put Into high places some
of the worst rascals In that choice
collection of superlative rogues, the
Korean officeholders, thus making
ludicrous her pretense of "reform."
While I was In Korea the story
was published, and later authenti
cated, that a young Japanese had
tried to force an old Korean out of
his home. The latter refused to give
up his ancestral habitation. There
upon the Japanese set upon him and
beat him, tied a beam to his shoul
ders, weighed It with stones, and
then strung him up to the eaves of
his dwelling, where he died In
agony. When the murdered man's
son returned and discovered the
crime, he and some friends started
in pursuit. The murderer fled across
a river; the avenger, with a knife
In his teeth, swam after him. The
fugitive was caught and killed, and
remember that Korea Is In the
Orient, with Immemorial customs
the heart and liver of the criminal
were offered as a sacrifice to tho
spirit of the slain Korean.
Of course, this wan wrong one
crime never justifies ar other; but the
deterrent effect will doubtless be
greater than the example made of
another Japanese slayer of a Korean,
who was sentenced by the Japanese
to an Imprisonment of two "ears!
The Instance Is one of several re
ported of late which would seem to
indicate that, driven to bay, the long
submissive Koreans are desperately
refusing to play the role of "dumb,
driven cattle."
Will Korea's day ever come
again? Is Japan going to succeed
In her apparent purpose of eliminat
ing the Koreans, as she once elimi
nated the AlnuB, and as the white
men eliminated the North American
Indian? Where is help to come for
the poor Korean, who, while he lacks
the enterprise and self-confidence of
tho Japanese, Is In certain important
respects his pronounced superior?
His present afflictions, by the way,
are really waking up the Korean's
dormant qualities.
Some Koreans are looking hope
fully to the meeting of The Hague
tribunal. Others expect that Russia
when rehabilitated will make com
mon cause with her, or that Ger
many will express her belief in the
"yellow peril" doctrine by coming
to the help of Chosen. Still others,
more far-seeing, point out that Ja
pan's conduct In Korea, of which
China must be perfectly aware, will
prevent the Japanese from ever
getting a foothold in China, and may
eventually lead Korea's ancient suze
rain to reclaim her former depen
dency. Foreigners seem to think
that an enlightened and aroused
public opinion in Great Britain will
do what force of armr may not do,
for Japan cares more for the public
opinion of civilization than for any
other power. Succor for poor Korea
surely will come from some quarter,
for the unendurable cannot be Inter
minable. From an article in Tho
Independent.
JJ Good Roads, g
A Tain of Wide Tires.
A good and practlcnl suggestion to
road supervisors and others who
have charge of road maintenance may
be found In the following tale of the
use of tho wide, Instead of the nar
row tires. The story was told to
Paul D. Sargtnt, Highway Commis
sioner of the State of Maine, by a
county commissioner of the same
Btate:
"The heavy teaming In our town Is
confined mainly to the three miles of
dirt road, over which lime rock is
hauled from the quarles to the kilns.
This teaming has been done for years
on 2. 5-Inch tires, with hind wheels
66 Inches and front wheclo 60 inches
In diameter.
"The resulting repairs, made nec
essary by the contfnual hajillng of
heavy loads on narrow tires, has cost
this town thousands of dollnrs. In
order that this might be remedied we
made an agreement with the lime
rock haulers to furnish them with
the wlde-tlred wheels fitted to their
wagon axles, with tho understanding
that If upon fair trial and experiment
should prove to be of mutual ad
vantage, the fJlgn should buy the
wheels of the town.'
"On consultation with the manu
facturers we ordered the sizes above
given (rear wheels 4 4 inches; front.
38 Inches). They arrived about the
first of July, 1903, and from that
time until about the 21st of August
I used my best endeavors to get thorn
adjusted to the wagons, and used:
"But the haulers claimed that the
44-Inch wheels were so much lower
than the old ones that tho rocks
and ruts would 'trig' them; also that
they would lower the body so much
that the tongue would 'slat' and
break the horses' legs. And: Who
will pay the damage? was the ques
tion. "As a last resort wo put the wheels
on one of their wagons and hauled
rock for them one day. Our team
ster hauled the same loads, and fol
lowed in the old tracks. The road
waB in a very dangerous condition
at thla time, and badly rutted, so
that even 'Ight driving wagons sank
to their hubs in some places. The
wide tires soon filled the ruts so
that the wagons with the narrow
tires actually hauled more rock, on
the last turn that day, than they did
in the morning.
"After seeing the work of theso
wheels for one day, the owner of
the wagon wanted tho wholo equip
ment immediately, and applications
for the other three seta came so faBt
that we were unable to shift the
gearing quickly enough. In fact, one
teamster drove his team for a week
without brakes, in order to have the
wide tires sooner. Since that time
the wheels have been In constant use,
summer and winter.
"At the time of this writing the
same amount of rock is hauled In
three turns that was formerly hauled
in four turtiB by the same toams, and
the drivers claim that Jhe work Is
done easier for the horses. The
sand stretch which was the hardest
place for the narrow tires is now
crossed easily."
The Demeanor of Lawyers could hardly totter about.
Working women In the fruit fields
of California will henceforward work
only eight houra a day Instead of
working from sunrise to sunset, as
they have hitherto done.

Rich ...nl Prosperous Indians.
"The 6000 Indiana who occupy
the While Eaith Reservation in Min
nesota are going to celebrate the
thirty-ninth anniversary of their first
settlement next month," said Chaun
coy E. Richardson, ot White Earth,
Minn., former secretary to Senator
Clapp and now legal representative
of the tribe.
"These Indians have a good deal
to celebrate, for they are further ad
vanced in their civilization thau any
other tribe in the United States. They
have more money than any other
tribe, except the Osagtri ot Indian
Territory, who came into a lot of
it when a claim was paid to them by
Uncle Bam last year. They are pro
gressive and are not dying out, as
some people claim many tribes are.
I am inclined to think that this dy
ing out business is a fiction, for the
Indians of the tribe 1 live with are
prolific. Thgy marry early and haVe
many children. Most of them are
engaged In professional work or
farming. Some of the best business
men I ever met In a small commun

I'nsutisfiictory British Recruiting.
In spite of all that has boon done
to improve the social condition of
the soldier and to make the army a
career, recruiting is not satisfactory.
Men of the right class do not come
forward in any number, and there
has been a marked falling off in the
number of men willing to enlist. The
matter is engaging the attention of
tho Army Council, but it 1b difficult
to see what more can be done to
make the service more attractive un
less the authorities give an assurance
of employment at the end of his
color service to the well behaved sol
dier. The pay Is good, and the sol
dier is to be taught a trade while
In the service, but apparently some
thing more remains to be done, it
has always been contended In these
columns that the only real solution
of the recruiting difficulty is a
guaranty of work on returning to
civil life, and until the authorities
make arrangements for finding the
soldier who bad behaved himself a
situation ut the end of hla service
with the colors recruiting will always
be a source of anxiety to the authori
ties. Court Journal.
Conservatism a Hindrance.
Few intelligent men will deny
that conservatism adhering to the
existing order of things has done
more harm to humanity than has
ever been dono to mankind by the
most daring of enterprises; yet op
position to improvement in ways
and means for doing tho world's
work still comes often, if not always,
from men whoso duty is to be quick
to find and udopt better methods
and superior appliances for doing
the tasks assigned to them, or chos
en by them.
Perhaps the most charitable ex
cuse for this conservatism would bo
that the opponents of progress are
too lazy mentally to try to learn,
or too stpuld to succeed In learning
whether a proposed change would
be better or worse for them, it is
so much easier to stick to ancient
ways and means than it is to try
to determine whether a new device
is better than the old.
Possibly this is the reason so many
pathmastcrs and others who are
charged with caring for our public
roatb. still oppose, secretly or openly,
all proposed changes from the an
cient ways of spoiling highways,
which tney continue to call road
making.
If such opponents could shake off
their mental hostility to mental ef
fort, and use tho opportunities and
advantages their office gives them
to become leaders of their fellows,
they might profit largely themselves
and do much good for their neigh
bors. Good Roads Magazine.

By JUSTICE W. J. GAYNOR.
Much harm la done to law student
by sending them out with exaggerat
ed notions about others and the ex
amples they are to follow. They are
i told that Ersklne, Scarlett, Webster,
Rufus Choate. Evarts, O'Conor, and
so on, never lost a case, or seldom,
when they probably lost more than
they won; for as a lawyer's ability
and fame grow more difficult cases
come to him. Butler prevailed over
Choate right along after he got under
way as a young man. And a false
notion Is conveyed about orators and
oratory. They are pictured as phe
nomenal. You are told, for Instance
of the Godlike Webster, and his tow
ering presence. But the late Sena
tor Hoar tells us In his memoirs that
Webster weighed only 167 pounds,
and was only five feet ten Inches
high. He was of quiet and ordinary
appearance, and even sluggish, un
less aroused. In the trial of a law
suit he was methodical and painstak
ing to tho Inst degree. He relied on
the facts and the law, and not on the
mere use of words. Without the
facts words are useless.
The requisites of oratory are, first,
the matter; second, the man of pro
bity and character behind the matter,
and last and least, the manner of de
livery. If the matter and the man
be not there, your orator Is not there,
however brilliant his rhetoric. I do
not depreciate a good delivery. But
a mere rhetorician la not an orator.
There Is a vast difference between a
rhetorician and an orator. If there
be the matter and the man and a
fair delivery, you have the orator.
But the most brilliant delivery with
out the matter and the man does not
make the orator. Most of the great
orators of the world have not been
brilliant speakers, but only fairly
good speakers. You need to know all
of this so as not to attempt too much
In speaking. Do not try too hard.
Be plain and simple. If your sub
ject naturally leads you to some
warmth and vehemence at certain
points, let It be In due proportion.
But do not keep It up all the time.
Remember that the ocean never
lashes Itself into a tempest merely to
waft a feather or drown a fly.
Read and memorize Hamlet's
speech to the players. It you un
derstand your subject you will make
others understand It, and that Is the
1 all-essential thing. Lawyers who
are merely glib are a bore. They
talk as though they had been to a
feast of languages and stolen the
scraps, but they sny nothing and do
no good. They weary every one. Do
not try to be overpollshed in speech
or manner. It palls. If any one
recommend that you practice oratory
before a mirror, say to him nay. No
one guilty of such foolery could huvo
the genuine heart and nature which
are essential to an orator. The ora
tor is more rugged than polished.
My experience is that able men are.
as a rule, simple in manner and or
dinary in abearance.
Cicero tells you what an ordinary
looking man Caesar was as he sat
adjusting his hair so nicely and

No one would Bvspeef. the vast de
signs ho was capable of conceiving
and accomplishing. The Almighty
seldom puts a large mind in an im
posing exterior, and never In a pom
potiB one. Use simple words, alwayp
of one syllable instead of two if you
can get them. Cultivate condensation
and brevity of speech. If ono word
suffice, do not use two, and court?
'and juries will bless you and you wi!'
grow in fame. Nay, more, the pdwei
of silence Itself Is often beyond that
of words.
Be natural and courteous to the
court and your opponent, but not
servile or effusively polite, for that
is offensive and the greatest of impo
liteness. Be natural. Do not try to
be witty. It is annoying. If you
have the faculty of wit it will now
and then show itself naturally. And,
of all things, never be pompous. The
able lawyer who goes Into his case
simply will grow larger all through
It while his pompous adversary grows
smaller all the while. Tho contrast
is ludicrous to Judge and Jury, and
sometimes painful.
Be a man first and a lawyer sec

and manner a mere parchment law

Temperature of Ala re.
Hitherto the chief obstacle to the
belief that Mars Is habitable by un
such beings as Inhabit the earth baa
been the extremely low temperature
probably obtaining on the Martian
surface, hut Professor Lowell ihoWf
that by taking all the phenomena
Into consideration this obstacle may
be removed. Previous calculations
of the temperature have been de
duced solely from the relative dis
tance of Mars from the sun. and a
recent investigation gave 33 degrees
Fahrenheit as mean temperature of
the planet. He finally deduces, by
taking all known factors Into nc
count. that a mean temperature of
47 degrees Fahrenheit Is obtained.

The Tress and State.
Twonty-flve years ago thero was
not a ntngle newspaper In the United
States whose news columns were ab
solutely free from partisanship. To
day there Is no reputable newspaper
In all tho land which does not give
reasonably honest reports of events.
To be sure, the effects ot perscnal
bias aud prejudioe are found In the
chronicles of the press, because, like
all other writings, they roceive some
coloring from prejudices of their au
thors, but as statements ot fact they
are, as a rule, reliable. Coincident
with th' development of the press
toward higher etandtngs has been a
gradual growth along lines of Inde

of the people, from which has un

Two men were dlscusssfng the
various food products now being sup
plied in such variety and abundance.
One, a grocer, said "I frequently
try a package or so of any certain
article before offering It to my trade,
and lu that way sometimes form a
different Idea than my customers
have.
For Instance, I thought I would
try Postum Food Coffee, to aee what
reason there was for sucb a call for
it. At breakfast I didn't like It and
supper proved the same, so I natur
ally concludod that my taste waa dif
ferent from that of the customers
who bought It right along.
A day or two after, I waited on a
lady who was buying a 25c package
cad told her I couldn't understand
how one could fancy the taste ot Pos
tum. 'I know Just what la the matter'
she said, 'you put the coffee boiler
on the stove for Just fifteen minutes,
and ten minutes of that time it sim
mered, and perhaps five mlnutea it
boiled, now if you will have It left
to boll full fifteen minutes after It
commences to boll, you will And a
delicious Java-like beverage, rich In
food value of gluten and phosphates,

great gain In health.' Well. I took
