May 5, when the Boya' Festival (Tango

Some of the lada who celebrated 1n
Toklo passed laughingly before a little

at the .back. And inthe funny little
; house a very' learned man named Isa- L
, buro Tamada tolled over aheeta of blue
paper-whereon appeared diagrams in
white tracing.-, .-": ''f',':'.i ' : '
"What special ' connection had thla

a natural ! question for -you ',- to,''. ak.
Would you. be surprised to learn that
Jsaburo Yamada waa examining the
prints of a great airship he had Invent-
..-cl for the, Japanese government , and
that a very Important idea for this '
dirigible balloon had come from' the pa- '
per carpT Tet" thla was true.
, Only a few months ago the Tamada
,' K,lku. the big war balloon Invented
by Mr. Tamada after fifteen long years .
of study, was registered In the Patent '
Office at Toklo. Part of its construction -
was suggested by the paper carp which
the beys of Japan bad used for hundreds .
' of years, ' ; ;.
' The Tamada Klklu la a large, bal-
i loon about 110 feet In length and hold-
., tng 2000 cubic- fset of gaa, the cover be
ing made of rubber, with an Inside and
outside layer , of silk. Mts Interior Is
separated into two chambers, the upper
one containing hydrogen and the lower
air. Now, the paper carp haa a wide-
' open mouth, through which air entera.

and a smiller bole In the tall, through
which the .air flowa out. " Thua the Dsn
is always kept filled with air and bobs
t , Jauntily -about on the end of its polo.
, So there Is a big air funnel In the lower
. chamber of the balloon . toward the
stern, Into which, the air goes, and at
. the bow smaller vent permits the air
to escape. In tfils manner the airship
.is rendered more light and buoyant.
But this airship Is different from ordi
nary "balloons. 'Suspended from the Bow
and about fifty feet below It is a 60-'
horsepower motor, whose propeller can
make 8X revolutions a minute. The great
; Tsalloon is towed along- by this little
motor craft, tn which la seated one man.
He ; receives his orders "by telephone
from the , captain and engineer, for
whom a basket is hung In the rear of
the balloon beneath the rudder. And
'directly under the middle of the- airship
is bung another basket,; where nits a
man who drops explosive shells through ,
a hole in the -bottom of his basket.
When you know that these shells can
do quite aa much, damage a powerful
cannon, you wouldn't like to have one
drop down upon your head, would you?
TO DESTROY HIS OWN WORK
. Strange as It may seem, by the time
Mr. Yamada had completed the plans
for his warshio he had also finished the
model for an airship destroyer which Z to draw, but every child Is not

that when little John's mother told Sir

his head, and replied:

first of all. to Algiers. '.
-"Will you not paint a faithful like

And Peter made a true likeness so
faithful was It. that the official be
came exceedingly angry. For the chief
was a very ugly man. and the painting
was, therefore, a very URly picture.
"Jail the Insolent boy!" cried the
. chief. . . .
So Peter was thrown Into prison, hut
luckily was left In possession of brush,
palette and tubeg of colors.
You probably have guessed that Peter
wi a very bright fed.. He was. In-deed-nd
a clever artist, besides.
In a few minutes' time he had made
the picture of a door Just like the ons
which gave entrance to his cell. The
picture showed him passinjr through
the door on his way across the plain
beyond. He painted the real door en

"A SKAT. HIGH ENOUGH
, .. .' r . ...
But John's mother begged the noted
artist at least to look, at some of her
little son's drawings, of which uhe was
very, very proud. Although he deemed
It a waste -of precious time. Sir Martin
agreed to glance over the sketches. No
sooner did he see what the little fellow
had drawn than he cried: -"It
Is your duty, madame, to encour-
aa this boy. Ieis a marvel!" .1
Thus It happened that little John Mil-
: lals went to Mr. Bessel'a school at
, Sout-hamptOR to learo how to-become
- a real artist. At this time (In the year
1837) he was but 8 yeara old. and ao
small that when he sketched, as he did
almost .all the time, some one had to
pile big books on a chair to make a seat
high enough for him to alt upon.. .
One day at an assembly of the Royat
Academy, .! when . prlsea were to be
awarded, it was announced that "Mr.
Millais" had won the prize for the best
historical, drawing in pencil ' .
. "Where is Mr. Mlllaisr. asked the
duke of Sussex, who was chairman. . .
Little John was presented, - '. -"Is
this Mr. Millais!" exclaimed the
duke,In amaaement. "Put htm on the
table!''
And, standing on the table, John re
ceived his prize. 1
In 1838 and 1839 John Millais studied
art in Henry Sass' school, in Blooms
bury. Then, in 1840, as a little shaver of
11, he. was sent to the Royal Academy
Itself, there to receive instruction.'
Every prise 'went to this little artist
chap, and when he arrived at the age
of 18 he was awarded a gold medal.
; And in after years, little Jhn Kverett
Mlllais. crown to be Sir John Kvamtr
f Millais and known the world over, "be- '
came president of the -aqademy that "
. gave him a prise while he stood upon a i
table. . , i . , .

where I shall make all the money I am

send for you. Will you comer -Gretchen,

' she continued in her household duties
-and, took -care of the twins, whose
mother had died a year before Jacob
left homej She herself possessed no

Image in the mirror. She wasn't a vain
lass, but she wanted to ba as pretty aa
pessible.' Just for' Jacob's sake. 8he was
, beautiful even prettier than when Jacob
had left her. " Gretchen was thinking a
great deal about Jacob that day. .. .
."Oh, dear!. If he would only send the
letter soon!" ahe sighed. There was no
question In fier mind put t&at it WOULD
come, you see. However, it was miming .
time and she must hurry. Throwing a
bonnet upon her head, she ran nimbly
downstairs, snatched her palls from the
dairy and tripped outdoor.. -
.', As she aped along, the path Gretchen
- was surprised to see a stranger leaning
over the fence gazing ' Intently aoouts
him. ''Good morning," said he, aa ha
bowed politely.'. f ! -.' .: '" .
"Good morning' replied Gretchen, and
then she gasped. . "Why, It's Jacob!"
sha cried, with the happiest little sob.
Sure enough, it waa. "Tou eee," said
Jacob, V'Tve succeeded In what I set
out to do, but I've sent myself Instead
' of a letter. Now am anxious to know,
'if you are still , willing to keep your
" promise." But there was no need to ask
j Gretchen that. It - was the 1 same - old .
Jacob, grown more handsome and lov
able.. . . ' ' ' 1. 1 . ,'.
THANKFUL FOB. , HER PROMISE
"Over in the United Statea they call
th;s Thanksgiving Day, " soberly re
marked Jacob, aa he sat down before tha
best meal the big farm could aiiord, in
company with hia. father, who had at
last 'forgiven the boy whom he had so
badly missed, with the twins, and. last,
.but not Jeast, Gretchen. "It la my
Thanksgiving Day' here, too," contin
ued he.
"Gretchen," said Jacob suddenly and
with a Bmlle. "what have you to be
