Slave Catching In Tonquin.

While III most parts of the world, OK
cept Africa, slave catching is becoming
a thing of the past, the practice is still
carried on To some extent i'll TOnquin in
spite of the efforts of the French TO put
an end 70 it. The practice of exporting
them as slaves came about in this way:
In 1885 the Chinese soldiers who in
vadod Tonquin, which was in revolt
against China, found themselves encum-
bered by prisoners, but at last decided
to ship them to China and SEQ if they
could not sell them. 1t was at this time
that emigration agencies We're ecruit-
ing in China thousands of workmen to
toll OH the guano islands of Chile. The
hundreds Of male prisoners were easily
disposed of TO these emigration agents,
and the women and children who We're
among the unfortunates We're sold to
well to do Chinese.
This opened a new trade, although at
first it was not easy to sell the women,
because wealthy families did not wish
to have servants with black teeth,
caused by their practice of chewing the
betel nut. So small a price was asked
for them, however, that all the women
were finally sold. Today these women
are in demand in some parts of western
China. As servants they are gentle,
obedient and laborious and are so high
ly esteemed that they command a good
price. -Exchange.

A New Novelist.

Up to the present George du Maurier
might have been called an artist-au-
thor. Since the publication Of his last
story, 'Trilby," however, he is better
called author-artist. High as was his
distinction previously as an artist, he
will undoubtedly henceforth be better
known as q novel writer. Attention was
at once drawn to him when two years
ago his first story, "Peter Ibbetson, "
appeared as a modest magazine serial.
Those who were familiar with his adj
mirable society satires in the form of
pictures in the periodicals doubted
whether a man could at once be a sue
oessful artist and a novelist. But 'Pe-
ter Ibbetson" had a quality so fresh, 50
magnetic and altogether pleasurable that
the question answered itself. Here was
a new vein of fiction that seemed prom
Using. The story of "Trilby" makes the
reader wish Du Maurier had begun to
write novels i'll the first place instead of
spending two-thirds Of his life in max
ing comic illustrations for the picture
papers.
The strange part of it is that this
Englishman, who is half French, did
no take up authorship till he was 81
years old. peter Ibbetson" was the
first thing he eve wrote, and it was an
Immediate success. 1t disproves the old
dictum that men cannot take up new
occupations successfully after their
record, however, where an individual
began story writing so late i'll life as Du
Mauricr has done and succeeded in it.
George Eliot was only 80 when she be-
gan novel writing. With Du Maurier's
example before us, we know for certain
that it is never too late to do well.
''Trilby" is a greater novel than "Pe-
ter Ibbetson."
Thackeray is the only one of the great
novelists gone before who could illus
tratc his own stories. Du Maurier re-
scmbles T~hackeray in his style more
than any other who has appeared. Three
features especially impress the delighted
reader in the Du Maurier novels. One
is the fine, keen handling of psycholog'
ical topics. Another is the cleanness OF
his characters. Even those who have
been through muddy places in the roat
have no soil ~clinging to them. But best
of all is the exquisite sweetness ani
lovablencss Of his heroes and heroines.
Even his strongest, manifest men are
as loving and lovable as q little child.
This quality is what the world of rea'
life needs most Of all today.

1t is not perhaps generally known
that petroleum can now be produced AZ
officially. The process is very simple,
being the distillation, in a strong iron
vessel, under a pressure of % atmos-
pheres, of the animal fats and oils at q
Temperature Of 300 degrees G. Under IA
vorable conditions 20 per cent of the fat
ty oils are transformed into petroleum,
which is 80 per cent Of the theoretical
yield. The product thus obtained has
been found to be i'll every particular iden-
teal with natural petroleum. 1t is sug-
gsted that, with notifications of condi-
lions in the process, oils of different
grades may be produced.
1t is premature to predict the changes
in the petroleum industry or to say
what bearing this discovery may have.
At present it certainly appears to be of
little practical Importance, yet it is not
the less an interesting fact, and one per-
haps not TO be lost sight of. The dis
covery will doubtlessly be further de-
veloped, and it is not improbable that it
may become of commercial importance.
If, as is claimed, 10 per cent of the
animal oil is convertible into a good pc
troleum, it would appear that DegraS
oil, which sells at 2 cents per gallon,
could profitably be converted into a su-
perior grade Of petroleum, selling, say,
at IL cents. 1t would be no more re,
markable than many other transmuta-
lions if at some future time this dis,
covery should find an important place
in the production of lubricants and il
Illuminating oils.-China, Glass and
