ENGLAND IN A CORNER.
And Must Fight or Lose Her Control
in the East.

1t is the unanimous opinion among
diplomatiss in Washington that Eng
land must fight or lose her foothold
in the east, and that ever since the
close of the Japanese war she has been
seeking a preteXt for descending upon
China to counterfeit the success OF
Russia and restore her own prestige.
1t is believed to be the intention of
Great Britain, sooner or later, to oc-
cupy Marking, just as she seized and
held Hong Kong forty years ago. Nan
king is the greatest city in the interior
of China and commands the commerce
of the Yang tie, which is the greatest
river and furnishes transportation for
the most productive and prosperous
portion of the empire. And as soon as
Russia takes possession of Manchuria,
the northern province, and starts her
railroad down the Liao-Tung PENN
sula John Bull will find an excuse to
to occupy Marking and organize pro-
vlsional government of his own there,
supported by a British fleet 1t mat
ters not what the preteXt may be. Eng
land will demand eXactions which the
Chinese government cannot comply
with, and nothing but the combined
powers of Europe can compel her to
loosen her foothold when it is once OBJ
tanned.
Commercial disaster threatens Eng
land both in Japan and China. Those
countries have been the largest and
most profitable markets for British
manufacturers, but her trade is de-
creasing rapidly and before many
years Japan will supply the Asiatic
market with almost everything it
needs The enormous increase of cot
ton factories in Japan and their rapid
introduction into China will soon be
felt by the manufacturers of ManChes
ter. Since the treaty of peace between
China and Japan was signed four COM
panies, with capital of not less than
S1,000,000 each, have been organized
in Shanghai to construct cotton mills;
two in Marking, one in Hankow and
two more at Hong Kong, which will
get their raw material from America
and eat a great hole into the English
trade, 1t is true that three-fourths
of the capital to be invested in these
mills comes from England and is
largely furnished by the cotton manu-
facturers Of that country, who realize
the evolution in trade and will move
their mills from England TO Asia as
rapidly as they can. India has prac-
tically ceased to consume British cot
tons and is able to furnish almost her
entire supply. japan will be in the
same situation within the next two or

poned Several horseless carriages

times in Regents park, London, much

found that when coke and water had
been provided sufficient to last for an
hours trip, there was very little room
left for passengers. The length of the
vehicle was fifteen feet, and with the
pole and pilot wheels, twenty feet.
The diameter of the rear wheels was
five feet, and of the front wheels three
feet nine inches, and Of the pilot
wheels three feet. One curious ar

bread for bait set in the garden, three
sparrows-two males and female
were caught, and for fear that the fe-
male might be the mother of known
nest full of young depending on her
for sustenance, the birds were kept in
captivity but for a short time before
being released on trial fly of 1000
yards. The birds were each marked
with a small strip of white paper tied
10 one of it's legs and carried to Brides
burg station, on the Pennsylvania
railroad, from where the house of the
experimenter was in plain view, and
then let go.
The released birds at first behaved
altogether similar to pigeons when let
go at a distance from home. With
their peculiar bobbing up and down
motion, but soaring higher as they
flew, making short circuits in the air,
they soon struck cut III a bee line for
home That they did not tarry long
on the way was manifest, for the hen
bird came swiftly around the corner OF
the barn and darted in among the
NlIICS, DGHlHu NlllIIl w lCi NdllllSJ
chattering brood of four, in a trile
over three minutes from the time of
her release.
The male birds were apparently not
so much in hurry, however, for
period Of seven and eight minutes re-
spectively elapsed before they were
seen to perch themselves on the vines
about the arbor, but manifesting no es
pecial DELIGHT at their own return as
did the hen and mother bird. Next
two more sparrows were trapped,
male and a female, and it was quite
certain that the hen bird was building
her nest, for but short time previous
to her being captured she had gath
cred from among the grass, which OBJ
scured the string leading from the
sieve, piece of dried stuff, which she
carried up among the vines.
The male bird caught may or may
not have been her consort, but from
the fact that they came back together
after being released would seem to
confirm the belief that they were
paired. 1t was late in the afternoon
when the last two birds were taken to
Wissinoming station three-quarters of
a mile further away than the first
three, and there let go, their home be-
ing entirely visible from any housetop
in that vicinity.
Fully five minutes and tritle over
had elapsed from the time that the
birds were let go when they came back
together, the hen bird being i'll the
lead and both darted in among the
vines, where it is supposed they have
their nest, and were not again seen
outside that afternoon. Not so, how
ever, with the hen bird first released,
who had nest of young to look after,
for when she returned she indus
triously went to work, going back and
forth with food for her progeny until
darkness had almost set in.
The gentleman interested intends
carrying the experiment further, and
will probably have his next fly from
three to five miles, and so on, and see
how far the little fellows can find
their way back, and he hopes to prove
that sparrows will home for moderate
distances as well as pigeons.
