A CHINESE PAMPHLET.

LONDON, Jan. 12-The translation by 7.
c. Hopkins of the anonymous Chinese
pamphlet, about which so much has beer
said aud which was distributed free dur.
ing last autum along the River Yangtse
Is being quietly circulated in this city, Ii
is entitled Death on the DEVILS
Doctrines
The pamphlet is made up of atrocious
statements and sentiments, clothed in the
most abominable language. So vile is the
work that it is impossible to do more than
TO refer TO its matter. From the story OF
the immaculate conception of the Virgin
Mary down to the most ordinary features
OF present Christian missionary work in
China this obscene pamphlet touches
no hing but to defile. L. was clearly writ
ten to excite the fanaticism of the most
Ignorant of a totally dehased population,
for to no other could it appeal with the ex-
pectation of exciting anything but disgust
and contempt.
The .writer, who declares that he is 75
years old, says: Also they (the Christian
devlls) rate women more highly than men,
and alike in the government of the state
and OF the household, the control in most
cases is exercised by the devil woman" 1t
also set fourth that whenever a convert
dies, the devil priests do not allow re- latives
TO approach the body. but bury il them
selves, gouging out the eyes, which they
also sell to be made into drugs"
The above is fair sample of the very
meaSre portion of the pamphlet that will
bear repetition.

Salt in the Lake of Aalia Paakai.

The famous salt lake of Aalia Paakai
near Honolulu, occupies the crater of an
immense tufa cone, whose ejecta covers
several square miles, and are especially re
markable for containing numerous aggre
cations of crystalline grains of pure oliEine
The lake is just at mean sea level, and ;s
scarcely mile distant from the ocean, but
there is evidently no free communication
with the waters of the sea. During the
dry months crusts of salt are deposited
sometimes six inches or more in thickness,
on the bottom of the lake, and the salt has
at times been taken out for use. In the
rainy season the salt is wholly redissolyed
The crust of salt is at the present time
from one to three inches thick, and the
water IS, Of course, saturated brine
1t is interesting to note, however, that it
does not correspond in composition with
the waters from the ocean. Like the Dead
sea, the lake contains an excessive guam
tity of calcium salt. The interior of the
crater basin is crUsted in many places with
deposits of carbonate of calcium, proving
that it was at one time occupied by high
iy calcareous water, probably of high tenn
perature. have given in connection with
the results of my analysis, which extends
only to the constituents present in large
amount, an analysis Of concentrated sea
water from the salt works of Kakaako, and
an average of a number of analyses that
have been made of the waters of the Dead
sea
These latter sometimes contain larger
proportion of solids than the average fig
ure, but in no analysis that have seen has
the quantity been as large as that found in
the water of Aalia Paakai-Cor. Nature.

THE FRANcO-AMERICAN TREATY.

! PARIS, Jan. l2.-Deputy Sigfried, who
was active in establishing the negotiations
! for the commercial treaty with the United
States, has said TO a reporter: Il consider
that the treaty will be favorable to both
countries. 1t will facilitate the entry into
France of several leading American agri-
cultural and mining products, while
Frances industrial and artistic products
will have large sale in the United States
This moment is opportune, aud the
French parliament has just asked the gov
ernment to endeavor to lessen the price of
the pJor peoples light-kerosene. The
government of the United States rather
than let Russia get all the benefit of the
marked lowering OF duties on petroleum,
ought to ask reduction of one half of our
actual tariff on petroleum aud salt pork
Offering in exchange an equal reduction on
French silks and woolens, besides pictures
and art works of Paris. On those condi-
tions an arrangement can be obtained by
which the commerce between the two
countries, now scarcely amounting to Co.
600, 900 frances, will be doubled in five
years"
Deputy George S. Birger, speaking on
the same topic. said: Our ports have
been opened to American salt meats, and
the United States should give sonnet hing
in return. The United States should re-
duce the tariff on our wines and dress
goods"
Louis Grandeur, a member of the
superior council of agriculture, said: "In
response to the injury done by the Nc
kinley law, France might retaliate by
placing high duty on American grain
while encouraging the importation of
Australian, Indian and Russian grain. A
treaty on n fair basis is desirable for both
countries -

LONDON, Jan. 12-Advices from St Pc
tersburg show that the czar may declare
that there is no famine in his dominions;
| and though he believes that the suffering
among the peasants is due entirely to a
slight shortage in crops, which the gov
ernment can easily rectify, it will be found
that in making such rectfcation the
treasury of the empire will be subjected to
heavy drain. Already the sum OF 65 600,
600 rubles mas been appropriated by the
imperial treasury for the purpose of pro-
viding absolute necessities of life to be
distributed among the suffering people.
All OF this money has been expended, in
addition to large sums spent through the
central famine committee and through
private individuals, and yet the wants of
the distressed peasants have been supplied
to only limited extent. The imperial
treasury has now assigned the further
sum OF 65, ,000, 900 rubles, which will be de-
voted to relief work.
Anti-Jew outbreaks have occurred in
many villages in Pensa and Saratov. The

Jewish riots in the governments of Penza
