HOW wAPAN WAS COLONIZED
Traditional Account of Origin of Far
Eastern Empire Proves
. 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.
