On Bjornson's retm to the theater, after an absence thirty years, to direct the rehearsa of his play. "Ueber die Kraft,” I wrote demanding the removal of h statue, as he deems It a “permaner slander.” Ibsen, in answer to an it «iuiry as to his view, said that he ha never seen the statue of himself i is now proposed to remove both th figures and recast them in some le> objectionable form.

JAPAN AND CHINA BEAT ALL THE WORLD. Unit la. in (lie Fiiiene.il uf tlie Filter— Hand-Made l'u|ier of Klee anil straw —Some Va rlrfle. Adulterated with March. y The results of tlit* inquiries of the ■omrnisHlon of industrial experts which was appointed by the German government to visit and report upon the markets of east Asia, show, ac cording to the Kansas City Journal, the various markets present excellent prospects for the paper trade and the paper industry generally. The Ko rean h ind-made papers, tints far very little known In foreign market: are of much interest. They are of yellowish color, silk-like gloss and extraordinary strength. In purity they are behind the better grades of Chinese papers. These papers are made In sheets about 2914 by 51 inches. Oiled papers of this kind are used in place of window glass and very impure but extremely strong board is also made of the same raw material, as well as blotting and wrap ping papers. The Japanese handmade papers are divided Into two classes. The so-called "hansi” (half paper) is loaded with about 20 per cent of riee starch; the "minogam" consists en tirely of fiber. The hansi papers arc the stronger aud*the coarser and are made smaller sizes (about 9% by 13 Inchi* >, while the minngami papers are thinner and better and larger—11 by 16 incites. A quire of paper is called "Jo" in Japanese, and has from 20 to 48 sheets; a ream Is called "chime, and has from 4S0 to 2,400 sheets. The prices of hand-made paper have re cently risen about 16 per cent, because me growers or oust demand and ootain higher prices for their product. Print ing paper is used in Japan not only for printing purposes, but also lor writing The most popular sizes of printing pa per are 25 by 27 inches and 31 by 43 inches, flat. The consumption of pa per has increased extraordinarily in Japan, and. although the home pro duction is large, there is a good mar ket for imported paper. Rice straw is an important factor in the manu facture of Japanese machine-made pa per; only when there is a poor rice crop is wood fiber imported to any ap preciable extent. Among the most curious things to be seen in Japan are -the Jackets and trousers of strong hand-made paper with which the Ja panese soldiers were supplied during the war between Japan and China. The seams and buttonholes were sewn with eotton thread. Chinese hand made papprs are made mostly of rice straw, and are colored or stained on one side by hand; for instance, crim -on for visiting cards (which are thin, 'arge octave sheets), pale red for bills, yellow sprinkled with gold or green for wrapping goods,orange for wedding finery, etc. Large quantities are con sumed in the principal place of Its manufacture for decorating various places of worship, which are visited by Chinese from all over the country, and considerable quantities are also sent to the adjoining provinces. There is no doubt that cheap imported ina hine-made printing papers, stained or unstained, could successfully compete with these home-made and hand-made papers. AMERICA'S CHEAT ENCINES. Smaller Itangn if rimer Given to tlie KiiKlivli Locomotive. The American locomotive engineer deems it advisable to design his en tine with a large margin of power, says • he Engineering Magazine. If an ex press engine is designed to take a .’00-ton load at fifty miles an hour, and if that load should happen to be in creased to 300 tons, the locomotive is still expected to he able to take it and keep time, and usually does so. Such, at any rate. Is the experience of such an impartial and level-headed observer *s Mr. W. M. Acworth. If an American express he late at one point of its Journey, the engine is expected to make up the lost time, even if the load be larger than usual. And. again, this is generally doiie. But If an English en gine is given a single coach above its prescribed load, the driver at once in sists upon having a ' pilot,” and com monly he gets one. Or should the weather he had. with strong wind or a slippery rail, he demands an assisting engine, and is accorded one. as u mut ter of course. Obviously this applies especially to the case of slngle-wheel ers, which are so largely used on somn English railways, because their rang” of power U much more sharply limited by adverse conditions than Is the case with coupled engines. Hut in either •use it seems indisputable that a siuatl ir range of isiwer Is given to an Eng lish locomotive than to an American.

It I* Avttiluhltt for Alnny I'urpuiu* l*i the Mtrlian'f Arts. From ('assler’s Magazine: The prin cipal uses of aluminium are too many to lie enumerated. The properties of the metal are ho akin to those of cop per and brass that, broadly speaking, aluminium or one of Its light alloys should, to a large extent, replace both copper and tin and also nickel or tier man silver. Hitch a change would be followed by various advantages to all concerted. Not only would there be a considerable reduction in the weight of the articles, but they would not tar nish or turn black on exposure to air. The cost should be the same, if not actually lower, inasmuch as, bulk for bulk, aluminium is already cheaper than copper or tin, and its price will continue to fall as the demand in creases. One field, however, remains which copper is bound to maintain as its own, namely, the construction of isolated electrical conductors. Exper iments have already been made on a large scale with bare conductors of aluminium for telephones, with per fectly satisfactory results, its conduc tivity. weight for weight. Icing double that of copper. Hut when the mains have to be insulated copper Is abso lutely unapproachable, on account of Its greater conductivity, volume for volume, which is 10 per cent that of aluminium. Besides the advantages set forth above aluminium is not pois onous and Is pre-eminently adapted for the manufacture of cooking utensils. A steady demand for aluminium Is springing up in various kinds of print ing processes as well as in lithography. The metal appears to answer admira bly for the construction of rollers used in calico printing find when its aurrace is properly prepared it is also capable of replacing the ordinary lithographic atone. It can easily he imagined that, instead of having cumbrous and heavy stones, which can he printed only on special slow-running "lltlio” machines, it Is far better and cheaper to use thin sheets cf a metal which can he bent into a eirenlat' form and printed on rotary presses. Bicycles, electric light fittings, chains, bridles, stirrups, surgi cal instruments, keys, cigar cases, pen and pencil holders, toilet articles, plates and dishes, spoons, forks, frames, name plates, door furniture, iiut and coat p'gs, boot trees, lire en gine fittings, business and visiting cards and photographic cameras arc a few of the things that are being dally made in aluminium by various firms. For motor cars there should be a large field for aluminium. A further de mand for the metal will be brought about by its introduction into the mili tary services. All parts of the soldier's equipments have practically been made in aluminium, such as mess tins, water bottles, buttons, helmets, parts of rifles, cartridge cases, fittings for guns, tents, horseshoes, portable bridges, etc., and it is well known that con tinental armies, notably the German army, are employing aluminium on a large scale. AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS, Him ilit- Kobeunsefou* Mini Hue* tin Duty# Did you ever think how often you cat and never stick your fork in your eye? You always stick your fork in your mouth. If you ate in the dark it would be the same tiling. You would never put out your eye by putting your fork in it. Why? Because your sub conscious mind is doing its automatic duty and knows very well that you cat with your mouth and not with your eye, says the New York Herald. Many other actions are automatic. For in stance, twenty people have gathered on a street corner to board a passing car. , The very fact that they are there j means that the car will stop. The first : lias already signaled the motonnan. So do the other nineteen. And the same ; thing happens if ten people gather to descend in an elevator. The first com er rings the boll. So do the other nine j —purely automatically. The sign Bays | "ring.” eo each man takes this sign to himself and rings. A shoemaker once had a shop in the basement of a large building downtown. The shoe maker worked with his back to the door. Every time the door opened the shoemaker turned his head to the lefi to see who entered. For ten years the shoemaker worked and turned his head almost every hour in the day. Before many years had passed the shoemak er's head turned automatically, anil now that man has spent every cent ol money he has ever made trying to b« i tired of thla automatic habit.
