SURPRISING THE ORiENThLS
A Sea of PigtaiIs Watched IA Twist Drill
Work.


Work.
An interesting account of visit to q
Chinese arsenal near Fuchau is given
by correspondent of Casters Maga.
zine. He says:
Taking out two drills, sent them
in and Immediately was invited TO enter
The official was polite, bowling and
shaking his own hands, as is the custom
among Cinnamon, and offered me cup
of tea.
''Thcre happened TO bo several forg-
ings in the room, and as l pressed the
drills against them and pointed to over
the wall he seemed to comprehend what
WAS wanted, and in few minutes |
was i'll large, well lighted machine
shop. / might say this extensive plant
was built and equipped by French cngi-
noers somo 10 years ago.
THE native foreman examined my
tools with great interest and called in
several assistants. All looked puzzled
and did not seem to know what they
were for. Walking to drill press,
took out the flat drill, and, after con-
siderable packing around tho shank,
succeeded III getting one Of my taper
the spindle. There must have been 80
Cinnamon working in the room, and
every one had gathered around this
press. The foreman ordered them Off
repeatedly, and then, looking at me,
laughed good naturedly and gave it up.
He brought II piece Of cast iron, but
l wanted something harder to drill, so
j walked over to u largo planer and
took IA long extension tool, made from
by "a inch tool steel, and clamped it
up to the table Of the drill press He
shook his head, intimatng that the
twist drill could not so through, and
the crowd Of workmen emitted grunts
OF approval.
THE press started, the lips Of the
twist drill turned out two spiral chips.
The men olbowed me to one side. There
was sea of pigtails bending down,
watching the marvellous action Of that
little tool. As the chips grew in length
the expressions Of wondormont in-
creased.
"It happened that the chips did not
break until they were about Ia inches
long. Then others started, and each
time that they broke off they were eager
ly snatched by the men, some burning
their fingers, and examined carefully
from end 10 end.
1.-THE dull edges of the drill were
shown around and then ground and
started again, and the fact that the drill
would cut us well as the first timo
caused increased amazement and muir

ually, rs one approaches tho hill, il as
sumes an imposing and definite shape.
The figure, about 240 feet in height,
was merely shaped in tho turf so as to
allow the chair TO appear through. In
the course Of time these depressions in
the surface became almost impercepti-
bic, and tn such an extent was the fig
uro neglected that at last it was only
possible to make out the form at dis
tanco when the slight hollows were
marked by drifted snow or when the
obliquc rays of the rising or setting sun
threw them into "a deep shadow. In or

Man, and to render il at the same time
easily distinguishablo at distance the
outline was marked by single line Of

There are III different parts Of tho
country other examples of extremely
rude and early hillside figures, and. al
though the very fact of their great an
tiquity renders it unlikely that histor-
ical or documentary evidence will bo
forthcoming rs to their design or precise
purpose, IT is very satisfactory to find
that an explanation has been found
which will at once account for many Of
their poculiaritics.
The theory is that these are sacrifcial
figures We learn from the writings Of
Caesar that the Gauls (and the Britons
were doubtless included) had figures Of
vast size, the limbs Of which, formed Of
osiers, they filled with living men. The
figure was ultimately fired, and the
miserable victims pcrishod in tie flames.
There is n local saying in Sussex,
probably of great antiquity, in which
the Long Man is mentioned in reference
to the weather. 1t runs:

WOMAN USES A RATCHET.
A Scratch Registered on the Hand of
Il Native Boy.

Good Right Hand

Maria, Maria, Santa Maria,
Ne no make trouble. Bad kama
ka,' Snch and other exclama-
tons met the ears of Captain Rem
ken and Special Hammer as they
ran up an alley just off Fort
street and near the Chinese
Church late yesterday afternoon.
shortly before this an old
shriyelled-up native woman had
run into the police station out Of
breath and calling out that her
son was being murdered.
The police officers hurried 10
the spot and found a Portuguese
woman with disheveIIed hair and
foaming mouth wandering about
in a banana patch, uttering i'm,
precautions of various kinds, none
of which were any too choice.
She was taken to the police sta
ton. but was released later, no
one appearing to make complaint
against her. The boy who, &c,
cording to the native woman, had
been attacked with a hatchet, in
the hands of the Portuguese WON
an. had disappeared.
Late in the evening the boy,
who turned out to be man
grown. walked into the police
station III company with his wife
and mother, and upon being be
ing asked to show where he had
been struck, exhibited Il hand
with q scratch that looked very
much as if it had been done with
Il pin or Il needle, certainly not q
hatchet. He said he had been at
tackled by the Portuguese woman,
unprOvoked. that he knew moth
ing about the sprint his mother
had made to the police station,
that he had gone out to Palama
to see his wife. and that, on the
whole, he considered himself Il
very much injured party. Ac-
cOrding TO his story the only thing
which prevented him from being
without right hand was his pres
ence Of mind in grasping the site

Power or The Press.

A great deal has been said about
the power of the printing press.
1t all depends on the hands the
press gets into as to whether that
power is used for good or evil.
An exchange contains the fol-
lowing: "The printing press has
made Presidents, killed poets, fur
nished bustles for beauties and
punished genius with criticisms; it
has curtailed the power of Kings.
graced the pantry shelves and
busted; it has converted bankers
into paupers and made lawyers out

Gated the homeless and robbed the

and cries and dies, but it can't be

How Point Pleasant VIII Look GAR

HAM Eulnteus
A well known Point Pleasant citi-
zen, who evidently ate something
heavy for supper last night, went
to bed and dreamed that this city
was governed by women, and the
following is what he told us this
morning:
1t was scrupulously clean and
while walking around he saw three
men arrested for splitting on the
pavements. A garbage barrel at
the rear end of each lot was hand
painted and tied with blue ribbon,
and those on the corners were
whitewashed and made ornamental.
Telegraph poles We're decorated
with drawn work and the curb
stones every few feet had n cush-
ion. Sweet pea vines We're cling
ing over the electric light poles
and handsome cuspidors occupied
a prominent place in every corner.
The telephone poles were beauti-
fully decorated and hanging full of
bird cages. There was no bust
ness, not team was allowed TO
pass up and down the main street
for fear of making dust. The
town was deserted save for the po-
lice women lin bloomers?), who
marched up and down to see that
no one with dusty shoes stepped
into town. During the dream a
man was hung in the suburbs for
being out with the boys the night
before. The use of the latch key
was abolished by strict or
dinance.
The dog law was repealed, and
some of the dogs were kept in the
back yards while others had blue
ribbons tied around their necks
and were pushed along the streets
in baby carriages. Lady constables
didn't seem to have anything to do
but sit around in brussel carpeted
Offices and gossip with the squiress-
es and smoke cigarettes.
Men domestics were required to
boil the Ohio and Kanawha river
water and then strain it through
two thicknesses of cloth before
using it for cooking purposes.

City Code that if woman saw
