It Tried the Patience and the Muscles of the Stranger In a Strange Land, but From an Epicurean Standpoint | the Worst Was Yet to Come. Describing an amusing experience In Japan, Homer Croy In Leslie's Weekly tells how, after arriving by train in an interior town, in his éfforts to find a hotel, he tried to break into a bank. Realizing his mistake, he finally, by nse of the sign language, was directed to a real hotel, where, after removing his shoes, be entered. Then: What interested me most was some- thing to eat, and opening my mouth to its fullest I pointed in. They motioned me to follow upstairs, but I héld back, showing that I wanted the dining room, not the bedroom. Seeing a door, which I thought must be the dining room, I pushed it open, but it was the kitchen; so, thinking that they knew more about things than I did, I let them Jead me upstairs. When the girl pushed back the sliding doors my heart crawled down another step, for there was only one plece of furniture in the room, a seat that looked like a two legged milk stool covered with carpet. There wasn't a single chair in the room and no place to hang my hat or coat, nothing except a bare room with a heavy matting on the floor and one of my toes brazenly peeping through my stocking. 1 started to sit down on the milk uirted out from undér effort to hide her laughter. Dropping down on the floor, she showed me how to use the milk stool by sitting on the ficor and leaning one arm on it, like a picture before Pompeil." She took my hat and coat, and' I won- dered where she was going to bang them, for there wasn't a single nail or book in the room. Carrying them over to the wall, she pushed back a small sliding dvor and p them on a shelf and brodght me batk a kimono. She mi for me to get-into it and started down the hall. I got out of my clothes and was just slipping into the kimono when I hear@ her coming. I called to her to stop, but she did not understand, so I wrapped the kimono | around me the best way I could and tried to keep it together, for there were no buttons on it. On the floor she placed a table and on it a pot of tea. The table was just barely a foot high, and there was no milk or sugar for the tea, for these things spoil tea to a Japanese. Then she came with a plate of fish, a bowl of rice and a little square box with a bamboo tube in it and a bowly In the bowl was a glow of charcoal. Soon I puszled out that this was for lighting cigarettes and the bamboo for dropping the butts into, 'The first thing a Japa. nese thinks of is tea, and the next is cigarettes, 1 statted to draw up to the table, but I could not find a place for my knees. They wouldn't let me get near enough the table to carry out my designs on the fish, Seeing my trouble, the girl dropped down to show me how. She turned her feet back, with her toes pointing straight behind her, and sat down, her face in one direction and her toes in another. It looked easy, but it brought me up with a short breath.

Shower baths for freight cars? Cer tainly. Treating the cars to a good bath every now and then is the method which railroads bave devised to pre- vent having to pay for freight dam- aged while in tragsit by water leaking through the car roofs. . To detect a leak in the roof of a freight car before it has caused any damage to the goods inside is no easy matter. Previous to the introduction of the shower baths for cars railroads frequently had to pay heavy bills for damage caused by roofs which were supposedly in the best of condition. To overcome this difficulty on several large railroad systems every car Is given at regular intervals a severe test for leaks by means of shower baths, The bathing apparatus is rigged over a track along which the car is run at slow speed. Enormous volumes of wa- ter are poured upon the car and with such force that water will find its way inside if there i8 any fault in the roof, sheathing or ends. As 800n as the car emerges from the bath inspectors examine it carefully and mark with chalk any signs of leaks. A car thus marked is sent to the shop to be made waterprof. Before it is sent out to resume its work it is sub- jected to a second shower bath to de- termine whether the repairs have been satisfactorily made. MODERN GREEKS. Those at Home Outnumbered by Those In. Other Countries. What and who are these modern Greeks? The most skeptical investi gators admit that in most of them is some blood transmitted from ancient Greece and that there is a proportion of Greek descent in Greece about equal that of Anglo-Saxon 'descent in America. For the rest the modern Greeks are either Albanian or Slav or Viach. Besides the Greeks in Greece there are other Greeks who far outnumber them, They are found on all the coasts of the Ottoman empire. Crete and the other islands until very lately under Turkish sovereignty have no other in- habitants important in numbers. They are numerous in Asia Minor, in Syria 'and in Egypt. ' While domiciled elsewhere they re- main passionate in devotion to the Greece they style Hellas, the modern kingdom, whose people are called Hel lenes, and, being s of ce and finance, many of-them have gained enormious fortunes, from which they pour great sums inte Athens particu: larly, but into Greece generally, for public buildings and endowments.-- From "Thé Balkans--A Laboratory of History," by William Milligan Sloane. .

Almost Any Hue, Bright and Lasting, Quickly imparted to Brass. , It has been found that metals may be colored quickly and cheaply by forming on thelr surface a coating of a" thin film of a sulphide. In five miobutes brass articles may be coated any color, varying from gold to copper red, then to carmiue, dark red'and from light sniline blue to a blue-white like sul- phide of lead and at last a reddish white, according to the thickness of the coat, which depends on the length of time the metal remains in the solu. tion used. The colors possess a very good luster, and if the articles to be colored have been previously thorough. ly cleaned by means of acids and alka lies they adhere so firmly that they may be operated upon by the polishing steel, To prepare the solution dissolve half an ounce of hyposulphide of soda in one pound of water and add balf an ounce of acetate of lead dissolved in balf a pound of water, When this clear solution is heated to from 190 to 200 degrees F. it decomposes slowly and precipitates sulphide of lead in brown flakes. If metal be now present a part of the sulphide of lead is deposited thereon, and according to the thickness of the deposited sulphide of lead the above colors are produced. To produce an even coloring' the articles must be evenly heated. Iron heated with this solution takes a steel blue color and will retain the coloring unless some abrasive is sdsed to remove it.~Léndon Chronicl - . The Penalty of Pride.
