wheelbarrow coolies, and he has stopped
some of his greatest improvements after
they have cost him hundreds of thousands
of dollars because certain OF the trades
unions objected. These wheelbarrow men
are. in fact, one OF the strong organizations
of China, aud they are one of the great
obstacles in the way of railroad building.
The bankers of China have a guild, and
it depends very much upon them whether
the Government is supplied with money
for the war. There are nearly 1000 banks
in the two cities of Shanghai and Tien-
tsin, and their members all work together.
They have their connections with other
banks of the empire, and they fix the rates
of interest and regulate exchange. The
tea merchants have guild, and there are
silk guilds and all sorts of manufacturers
unions.
These guilds have magnificent halls 10
the great cities, and the Hankow tea men
may have a clubhouse in Shanghai and
Canton, and some of the finest buildings
in China to-day are those possessed by the
trades unions. l have visited many of
these buildings through the courtesy of
Chinese friends. You lind them full of
wel-dressed Cinnamon, who are chatting g
together, drinking tea or playing cards.
They are, in fact, much like the big club
houses of America In their social aspects,
and many of them have beautiful gardens
connected with them.
These unions are very rigid as to their
own men, and they have waged war
against modern machinery. In some in
stances they have killed employers who
have acted contrary to their wishes, and
horrible case occurred at Shanghai few
years ago, where an employer tried to
defy the union. He was warned, but be
refused to accede TO the demands of the
men, and they concluded to make an ex-
| ample of him. He had more than 100 men
| in his shop. These we're present when he
entered one morning, and, at concerted
signal, they sprang upon him and com.
menced biting him. They had a leader
and this leader would not let one of the
men 60 away from the place without
| showing his teeth. II his teeth and gums
were bloody he was permitted to 60 out
otherwise he was sent back and told tC
| take a bite. The plot was gotten up on the
| basis that there is no capital punishment
IN China for biting. The employer was

came to the ears of the Government Il
made great fuss on paper. and published
memorials concerning il. but only the man

Curiosity of Eyesight.

An aged sea captain. whose home is In
Philadelphia, is trout bled with popularity
of vision which is common to all shippers
and ships officers of high rank who have
had long experince of the sea. Iu this
particular instance the captain complains
that through long use of the telescope, the
quadrant and other instruments used in
making calculations at sea the sight has
been drawn from the left eye into the one
which peers so eagerly through the instru-
ments. He says he can discern ljscti at
an enormous distance with his right eye,
but is scarcely able to read with his left.
The tendency of nature to adjust itself to
conditions is heightened in these cases by
the bright glare from the waters, wbich
makes the strain on the eye especially try

NAPOLEON WILLOWS.
There Is Grove of Them at the
Brooklyn NaVy-Yard.

Over on the ordnance dock in the Brook
lyn Nayy-yard. shading great heaps of OBJ
solete canuon-balls and hundreds of old
and useless types of guns. grove of
picturesque and graceful weeping willow
trees is often noticed and admired by Wis
itors, who little realize the history and
sentiment attaching to those silent senti-
nelS.
When in the early part of the present
century that grand old sea hero. Commo-
dore William Balm bridge. of the United
States navy. returned to New York with
his ship from Southern Europe, be brought
with him a number of slips cut from one
of the historical willow-trees that shaded
the grave of the great Napoleon at ST.
Helena-a pinnacle of rock in the Attain
tic Ocean off the coast of Africa-where
the wonderful French warrior, statesman
and ruler was held in captivity for six
years by England, and where he died
prisoner May 5, 1921.
The way in which the souvenir willow
branches were obtained from Napoleon's
ocean-bound prison is a most interesting
story. bringing into strong relief sample
of the enduring love given the Emperor by
his soldiers.
full followers who were permitted, under
great and oppressive restrictions, to ac-
company him and share his exile was Ser
geant Hubert. one of tile grenaders of the
Imperial Guard, who wore the decoration
of the Legion of Honor. After Napo-
Icons death this soldier assigned to him
self the mission of guarding the tomb of
his old commander.
When Commodore Bainb bridge visited st.
Helena he fouuo Sergeant Hubert on
guard at the tomb of the French EN-
peror and begged for one of the branches
that drooped sadly over the grave of the
mighty dead. This was given him and
was carefully preserved until his ship ar
rived at the Brooklyn Navy-yard, when he
divided the branch into a number of
parts and planted them on little island
forming the extreme eastern end of the
yard, and which is known to-day as the
ordnance dock. The slips flourished and
grew into beautiful trees.
Seventy years have passed since that
time, and the old willows. although thick
with foliage and honest enough looking on
the outside, are heart-ealen and hollow
and will soon be no more.-Harper's
Young People.

want to be carried to their own country is
that they will be buried with their fami-
lies. The clans have their feuds. just like
some of the mountain families of Ken
lucky, and they lay for each other with
bows and guns. Every family has its an
cestral hall in the town or village near
where it lives, where all the different
members of the family meet and worship
their ancestors. The members of clan
com bine together to punish those who have
Injured the family, and there are said to
be families who make business of black
mailing and stealing. There are in all
China about 400 clans. and the 400.000,000
or 500 600. 600 which make up the Chinese
people belong 10 these.
The secret societies are rub, however,
independent of the clans. and the Koloa
Hui is only one of large number of them.
The oldest society In China is the Triad
Society, known as the Sam Hop Wu.
This is said to have been the cause OF the
TAPPING rebellion, which lasted for years
and cost China 10, 000.0 900 lives. 1t 81 rang
up In the south and spread all over the
empire, and had it not been for Chinese
Gordon and LII Hung Chang the Tartar
dynasty would certainly have been over
thrown. The head of this rebellion was
a Chinamau who gave out that he was
The younger brother of Jesus Christ and
had been sent to this world to reform
China. The Triad Society has its lodges,
and there are flags, banners and umbrellas
connected with it. 1t holds its regular
meetings and it forces members to join its
organization il they are not amenabe 70

and death over its members. and the
members mix their own blood with wine
and swear to uphold the order TO the death.
Among the punishments for treason to the
order is having the ears chopped off or
the head cut fl, and the divulgence of the
secrets of the order is death. The MEM
bers have their own signs and passwords.
You can tell. it is said, whether a man be-
longs to the order by the way he enters the
house, and am told that they stop mo-
ment at the door and put the left foot first.
10 sitting down they point their toes to-
gether and keep the heels apart, and they
have a way of raising their trousers legs
which is known only 70 the brethren.
They are bound to help any of the order
who get into trouble, and they have secret
signs by which they can mark their houses
so that their families will escape in case of
revolutions. At dinner the arrangement
of the cups on the table allows their call
ers who belong to the order to know that
they are members. and there are a thou
sand little things which no one else would
notice which enable them to recognize each
other.
The Triad Society and Koloa Hui are
very much like the highbinders of San
Francisco. They swear to defend each
other against the police. to hide each

A Delicate Operation.

A most interesting operation, but at the
same time a most delicate one, has been
performed this week at the Paris Obserya-
tory. 1t consisted of resilvering the mirror
OF the great Leverrier telescope. From
time to time this mirror, which is more
than a yard in diameter, becomes dulled
by usage. and then the resilverng is nee
essary. Formerly the Foucault method
was employed, which consisted In turning
over the mirror and dipping in silver
bath-an operation accompanied by the
greatest difficulties. and which, moreover,
rarely gave perfect result. Since then a
mure practical system has been discovered,
viz that of furnishing the perimeter of
the mirror with ledge OF paraffine wax.
which thus forms kind of vat. into which
is poured the solution. The silver is thus
deposited on the mirror plate with per-
feet regularity. Referring to the tele-
scope itself it is a masterpiece of mechan-
ism, and is so perfectly balanced that,
though its weight is enormous, it can be
directed to any sky field by the pressure
of the finger-London Figaro.

died not long ago, was for a time an ac-

was told at Marking thar this secret
society had threatened the Viceroy that if
more money was not paid to the soldiers
they would cause him trouble by mobbing
the foreigners. Shortly after this the
"DeviPs Picture Gallery" was issued.
This was made up of vile cartoons charg-
killing Chinese babies with inveigling
girls into their houses and cutting off their
breasts for medicine, and with stealing the
ewes of dead and live Cinnamon and
using them as Photographic material.
Millions of these cartoons were cir
enlated and the people were urged to drive
the foreigners from the country. This
caused the Vieeroy of Marking and the
central government great deal of trouble.
and they had to pay heavy indemnity
Last spring an organized rebellion broke
out near Canton, ana the soldiers were
fighting there at the time that the Japanese
came into Korea. The recent trouble In
the Shantung province, where the people
refused to respond TO the call for troops,
was backed up by the Koloa Hui, and
there is large branch of the organization
in Manchuria, aud it exists in great
strength in North China. 1t is so organ
ized that in case of the fall of Peking a
