Swqrds of Perfumed Steel Thai Cannot Now Be Made. MARVEL OF A CRYSTAL BALL Rubbed Into a Perfect Sphere by Hand, It Would Be Difficult to Duplicate It With Modern Machinery Legend of the Secret of a Swordmaker. Steel miide more than 800 years ago, with a sweet odor put In so that the metal still retains the scent that Is one of the secrets of an old Japanese sword maker described by Kejnmild F. St. Fere Vaile of London. Air. Viillo Is nu ainnU'Mr Collector and his en- tbusiusm for (be beauty of old Japa- nese art has carried him far back Into the centuries. Mr. Valle actually owned a sword or scented steel one time, but It was stolen from the olllcc of bis lawyer several years ago. He regards this loss as the greatest a collector could face and feels sure that he will never -. t that sword back again. "The perfume was delicate mill pleasing," be. said. "It Is not tlie only sword of the kind in the world. The royal collection at Vienna has one, and there are two or three more which have retained their fragrance for flll these hundreds of years. "The scent is actually a pnrt of the steel. The sword was incased In a wood sbeatb, which gave forth no odor. The handle of the sword was of wood, which was easily removed and which gave no odor. The makers' names. father and son. were on the steel of the handle. "I entertained a group of Sheffield Ftet-l men nt tny home several years ago and Just us a surprise for them I bud tbe sword on the table. Tbey were boasting about what great steelmak- ers they were, and then I asked them to smell the sword. They were the most surprised men you ever saw. " 'Steelmakers,' I said. "There Is Borne real art In making steel; let us see you equal that' They could not, of course." Mr. Valle said that there nre hun- dreds of mechanical tricks of the .lap anese artisans of hundreds of yean ago which have been lost. These men bave made tunny articles which can- not be duplicated with modern machin- ery. "I have In my home a crystal ball six Inches in diameter." he said. "It Is as round as M billiard ball; it will stand .my test for round ness. That was made by band several hundred years ago. It would be difficult to make It now with machinery. If It Is possible; but think of the years of toll and the special abil- ity required for n man to rub a block of crystal Into n perfect sphere." Mr. Vaile said that old Japanese princes kept hordes of men ut work, paying them fairly well. These men had i ...I and lodging assured for the rest of their lives, and they didn't have In hurry with their work. lie told of one cabinet utarlcd by OIK* DI;III for (he prince who employed him but who failed to Mulsh it. lie died and the prince died. The s<>n of the artisan took up the work, ex|>*.-ctlng to finish It for the son of the former prince. They both died, and the cabl net was finally finished by tbe gnind- son of the original caliliictmaUcr and presented to the grandson of the orlg In.il prince. "There was one swordmaker \\ ho hail the Irlck of niuUinu :i da^ucr with a very hard steel point, which ^rmlnally grew >.ofler toward the handle, lie did this by taking a dnsrger blade of uni- form hardness, packing il in clay which was thicker lowanl the liand'.o. In this way when he healed the pack the heat was graded, being vlroiig at the point HIM) soft near I be handle. "The secret lay in the temperature of the water lie ijnl it In after healing It. No one <. mid discuver how hut (he water was or how lung he kept (he mass In fhe wafer. "lie had several young men working for him. and one of these men, a trick- Her. was anxious lo learn tbe secret- Tbe old man prepared his lialli la a private lent. One day he wim coming tint of the tent with a newly itnNhed Kword under his arm when tbe young man darted past film and stuck his bund In the water. "The old man wheeled and struck out with his sword, lie cut so quickly that he severed the young man's arm before the young man's nerves could convey any Idea of flic temperature of the water to his bralu or so they liny." One of the old swordmakera had the peculiar knack of making swords which, of themselves, rontlnually searched for trouble. "Blood drink- ers," these swords were named. There was one of them In Mm Howes collec- tion. which was sold in Kngland seven or eight years ago. "One of my friends bought this sword." mild Mr. Valle "He was ex- plaining Its peculiar inlure to sumo of us. One of the men laughed at the superstition. .lut us he was In the middle of a gtirfaw fhe sword slipped out of Its Hlienlb. the handle struck tint floor and tbe point fell ngalnst his leg lie was severely cut I paw this. nnd. while I myself don't nttiioh nny supernatural power to the sword, that Merles of facts keeps me from laughing at It." New York Sim. John Paul Jones In a Fight Was ai Qjlck as Chain Lightning, Tbe exploits of .Mm Paul Jones, the fan MHIS cvmiiiodorc, have for many years formed Interesting reading for young and old students of history, and n volume issued by M. MacPermol Crawford, tinder the tlllu "The Sailor Whom Kiiglnnd beared," adds much tlint Is worthy of note. The hero of the book Is thus described in Its pages: "Though of low stature nnd slendei build, his neck, arms and shoulders were those of a 1/eavy set man. His neck was out of proportion to the rest of him. The strength of his arms .'11111 shoulders coald scarcely be believed, and he had equal use of both hands. even to writing with the left as well UH the rlghl hand. "Ho was past muster In the art of boxing, and though there were many hard nuts to crack in flic various rrev.r. ho commanded, no one ever doubled that tliA commodore wns tbo best man aboard. To nil (his he added a quick- ness of motion (lint cannot be describ- ed except by saying that bo was quick er than chain lightning. When roused he would strike more blows and do more damage In a second than any oth er man could do In a minute. "Even when calm nnd unruflled Ma gait and all his bodily motions were exactly like those of the panther- noiseless, sleel: and the perfection of grnce, yet always giving one the idea that it would be well to keep out of reach of his paws and teeth." AN UMBRELLA TAIL . ~ It Servei Many Purposes For the South American Anteater. One of the old natural history stories that IIIIVD been only half believed Is that tbe South American nn ton tor uses Its great bushy tall as mi umbrella when ever It takes its walUs abroad In n shower. The story Is partly true. And tbe tail has other excellent uses, nsonc might suppose of so extraordinary nn appendage, f<>r perhaps no oilier ani- mal nf flic woods has Bo inii.-h t.ill In proportion lo body. The lull is like n ln;-e plume, but differs from tin; feather nnd from such tlut. feather-like tails ns form the rnd dors and balaneing poles of the squir re!s In having its hairs nrrauged In two enormous fringes nlong the upper nnd under snrfuces of the tail-not along the sides of It. The benefit of this nrrnngciucnt Is tbat when tbe nntenter lies down at rest, with Ids !.,il bent sldewlse. us Is bis wont, flic long halm of the lull completely cover the body like u cloak or muhrelln nnd shed the ruin like n sloping thfitcb. The hairy covering Is nlso useful In keeping nway trouble Home nr dangerous Insect*, nnd Its dull pray tint harmonizes so well with the lights mid shadows of tbe forest that it nctunlly helps to hide tbe nnimnl from Its enemies while It sleeps. Youth'* Companion. A Marvelout Makeup. George Uobey tells this story In an Interview In London Motor: "I do not remove my makeup In driving from one London ball to nnotlior, but travel wilh tlie grease pnlnt Mill upon my face. One ni.nht >ve had a little nltcrcn lion with (ho driver of n vehicle, who <]nlte forcibly declared flint he had not seen ns eoii<liig toward him. which was quite true, because lie bad been fast asleep. At last I looked out of tlu> win dow at him, when, jumping back In surprise, lie demanded, ' 'Go's the old fright you've got aboard V 'My mas tor is Mr. tJeorge Itobey,' responded my driver, with dignity. 'Well, you tell Min,' Raid the man, scrambling up Into bis curt, 'that if 'e'd sit on the engii.' with that fnco nnd nose and them eye brows, 'e wouldn't want no Vadlighls In a fug!' " MONUMENTS TO THE POTATO. There Are Several Handsome One* In England and Cerm.my. Although America is the original home of the potato. It 4s only in Eu- rope that monuments have been erect- ed to honor the familiar vegetable. There are several such monuments in Germany and Kngland costing large sums of money and presenting tbe work of famous sculptors. The most elaborate is that at OtTenburg, which honors Sir Francis Drake as the first man to introduce potatoes into Europe. The monument consists of an excel- lent statue of Drake, rising from nn elaborate base decorated with gar- lands of the potato plant, with full grown tubers. Severn! tablets nre placed about the base stating that Drake first brought tbe potato to Eu- rope, with various laudatory inscrip- tions as to the value of the potato to '_-l>'i|iZ!!tlon A similar monument f Drake nnd the potato lias been erected nt Mu iv.. As n matter of historic fact, rrake bad nothing whatever to do with in- troducing the potato to I-^irope. It Is generally supposed that Sir Walter Ra- leigh was tbe discoverer of the potato, nnd stories are told of his appearing on the streets of Loudon wearing a buttonhole bouquet of potato blossoms in order to attract attention to tbe new- vegetable. According to one version, the potatoes were first planted by Drake in Ireland. Tbe fact is that the potato was first taken from America by the Spanish long before the exploration of either Drake or Raleigh. Pittsburgh Dis- patch. THE GOLDEN MANIA. Bathi In Gleaming Coins That Seemed to Soothe the Victims. Some years ago a London journalist who had speculated in railroad stocks netted i5,000 as the result of n lucky venture. Drawing It in gold, the fortu- nate man repaired to a hotel, emptier"- the bags of gold in tbe bed and went to sleep literally in tbe sands of Pac- tolus. The man was BO crazed by big good fortune that he found Indescrib- able pleasure In reveling in a golden bath. I'aganlnl, the violinist, when be re- ceived the proceeds of bis concerts be insisted upon being paid In gold used to wash bis bunds in sovereigns. A French novelist, Soulle. wrote a book entitled "The Memoirs of tbe Devil." It took. The publishers paid him for tbe first volume 110,000 In gold. Tbe author carried the gold to bis bedroom, poured it Into a footbath and enjoyed for half nn hour the ex- citement of moving liis feet to n fit 1 - fro in a bath of gold coins, smoking mean- while the biggest of Havanas. A Boston merchant of great wealth, believing certain symptoms Indicated that he would become Insane, consult- ed a specialist and. under his advice, became an inmate of a private asylum. For twelve years there his recreation was piling up gold coins and then knocking them over. At times he washed bis bands In gold eagles and half eagles. At the end of the long ^p- elusion he returned to his collating room and In twelve months ^dfitirincd the thoroughness of his recovery by amassing ?500,000.-St. I.ouis Republic. His Money Was Snfe. Schopenhauer, the <!ernian pcssl mi-t. was asked one day to dinner by a gentleman who had nlso Invited a number of Prussian oflicers. Said one of the officers to Schopenhauer, "Wh\ do you put u frederic under your plate'.'" "I have made a vow," replied tbe philosopher, "to givo this piece of money lo a beggar the very first time I dine with (lie military without hear lug talk about women and horses. It Is llfly years since I made this vow, but 1 have not yet been called upon to bestow my frederic In alms." Harder Still.
