PORTLAND MAN OWNS JAPANESE ARMOR WORN OVER 300 YEARS AGO v Manufactured In the old city of Tedo, - Bow Toklo, ths capital of Japan, more ' ' than 800 years ago by the well-known w artist. Myochln, a suit of Japanese armor with an Interesting history la ; now the property of T. P. Keeney of ' y Portland. ' The armor waa first worn by Colonel - It Jlyuganokama Kanesuke, who waa '.: a well-known hero of Ashikaga, In the Vear of Tensho, who afterward handed m jt down to hla sop, Hyua:anokaml Kane- ' tnasa, when he went to Korea with Hen eral Talko, during the war with Korea, . some 875 years ago. Alter his death ' - c the eult was handed down to hla son. who participated in the Seklgaliara ar In Japan, and haa been handed to the descendants of this well-known Ito ' family until modern Implements of war superseded this class of armor. The last member of this well-known family of heroes Is still living In Japan and ranks aa a colonel, but was teo old to take part In tha war with nussla. He presented the ormor to his eldest ; ' son, 8. Ito, formerly an officer In the Japanese navy, but recently retired and Is now the representative of the Japa nese BhiDownera' syndicate, located at Hongkong, from whom Mr, Keeney ob- n - tained It. - - ... . ... The armor Is between 300 and 320 years old. . , ' The foregoing hiRtory of the armor Is certified to by T. Nakal, a Japanese stu ' den whom Mr. Keeney employed to trace Its origin. . ;i i Discipline in Iowa Prison. FYom Des Moines Register and Leader. V "The Iowa penitentiary at Fort Mad Ison Is more like an Immense factory ' titan a prison," remarked W. A. Gra ! ham. "A few weeks ago while In Fort Madison I visited the prison and was --''surprised by what I witnessed. There are no armeu b'" """e rooms; !n fact, they look like the work rooms of the most modern factories. Only four men In the 400 or so there wore stripes, th clothing of the others T resembling the usual factory garb. The ';': guards appeared like foremen. The men looked healthy, showing no signs of ill effects from confinement. Tho lock- step has been abandoned. II is I?

The latest bulletin of the French As tronomical society contains a report of the discovery of a new ring about the planet Saturn by the French astronomer Fournier on September 5 lust. The new ring he describes aa being outside those already known and entlrelv H.itfn.t irora mera. 11 is exceedingly transpar ent and but faintly luminous. All the conditions were unusually fa vorable when he first saw the ring, and again on September 1, under favorable circumstances, he saw it as a faintly shining but clearly defined lone. But when he went to look for It again on September 11. neither he nor another skilled observer. Jarry-Desloges, could find the faintest trace of it. They believe it possible that the ring is only visible at certain times, defend ing, on the angle at which It is presented to the earth and also ta the illumination of the sun's rays. They think some of the observatories in very bign places where the air Is very clear, such as Flaestaff. -Arizona, or AreoulDa. Peru. may be able to verify Its existence long before it again becomes visible In Eu rope. The new ring and ths circum stances of Its discovery present remark able an ale glss to the rcrape vell ef feet discovered by Bond in 1SC0,, between th pl&net and the Inner ring. : Candidates for . oresldent: and vie. presiaent win ps nominated by the .'great - radical convention" to be held In .St. SLouls next waek.
