Interesting. y One of the traditional accounts of the origin of the Japanese em- pire . interest's The legend , wuich attributes the rise of these sprightly easterners to a Chinese source, runs as ionows: s Sinosikwo ascended the tnrone of China in the year 246 B. C. and at once entered on a career of cru elty and tyranny. ; He was, never theless, most anxious to enjoy the pi ivileges of his position for as long a period as possible. For the purpose of obtaining some specific agent by which the duration of human life could be prolonged, he dispatched trusted messengers and explorers into all the countries with which he held any 'communication or of the v ereabouts of which' he could possibly obtain any knowledge. Taking advantage of the circum-; stances, one of his medical attend ants, who was living in hourly dread of a sudden sentence of death, told the emperor that he1 hud learned that such an agent ex isted in the juice of a plant which giew only in the islands which now form the Japanese empire. The plant in question was also re ported to be one of so delicate structure and sensitive a nature that, if not plucked with pure hands and with special precau tion, it would lose all its mysteri ous virtue before arriving within t";e limits of the celestial king dom. . . .It was suggested that 300 young rn?n and the same number of girls all of spotless physical health and morality should be selected to proceed. to Japan for the pur pose of securing a sufficient supply of the precious plant. The med ical adviser also patriotically vol unteered to conduct the expedi tion himself, and the offer was i idly accepted by the emperor. The expedition embarked as ej:eedi!y'as possible for the Japan ese lslanos, but not one or its members was ever seen within the bounds of the Chinese em j ire aain. The previously unoccupied parts of Japan were rapidly pop uhited with a race more fresh and vigorous ia body and mind than the average inhabitants of the lund cf the "celestials" itself. ?ie medical chief of t ut expedi- TirtTtt of course, created himself king of the country, and soon had a magnificent palace erected for his residence, which he called Kanioka, i. e., grand house. It is urther said that the , Japanese mention the historic fact in their, annals; that they point out to vis itors the Bpot on which the med ical founder of their empire land ?d and also show the ruins of a temple which was erected in his honor. , Artificial Gold. ' A new metal "harder than steel,, as brilliant as gold, from which .1 cannot be distinguished, and as good a conductor as copper," has been invented by an Itaiian, says L'Echo des Mines et de la Metal-' Inrcne. It is composed of copper, iron, silver, phosphorus, p.rd. of course, radium. It is Uuntei- than fci'.p'.'r, and its beaui.ii.ul color is nor ciu:Ejred by any chemical re ts gent. This is wonderfully inter esting if true. Indeed, "we will go further; -it is interesting if, only half true."-r-Engineering and Min ing Journal.' DIAMOND DIES ARE COSTLY Valuable Mechanism for the Draw ing of Fine Wire Is Found Uecessary. A comparatively unknown in dustrial detail is described by "The Electrical Review." Accord ing to that authority, diamonds are used quite extensively as dies for drawing wire of the smallest sizes; for instance, the sizes less than, say, 0.025 inch diameter. The hardest steel dies are not suitable for this work, for the lea son that the wear upon them, so enlarges the die that the diame ter of the wire is i not uniform within the required percentage of variation at the beginning and end of a drawing. Sapphires are also used sometimes ; for this work. .Copper, silver and plat inum are the metals usually drawn to the very small sizes. With diamond dies it is practic able to draw platinum to a diame ter of five ten-thousandths of an inch. An idea of the fineness of a copper wire drawn to only three one-thousandths ofan inch In di ameter may be gathered from the fact that in one ' pound of ' the metal there are over six miles of such wire1.' V ' The f weight . of the , diamonds used for this work is from four to five carats, and they are uncut ex cept as to the die. .The yalue of of . & i JA0 A i not of the first water, varies from ?15 to" $20 a carat', and several hundred thousand dollars' worth of diamonds are utilized as dies in the various wire factories of, this country alone. " Skillful, however, as must be the, artisans who sink these small dies and attenuated as the wires drawn through them may be, yet neither will stand comparison with the output of the spinneret of the common spider, which ejects a single thread of silk so fine that 18,000 threads are required to equal in thickness an ordinary strand of sewing silk.
