"China's Sorrow" a curious namt
for river, is the title bestowned OF
the great lIoang lIo, which rises in
the mountains of Thbet, and follows
a wonderfully circutous channel foi
25OO miles to the Yellow Sea. The
waywardness Of this mighty volume
OF water makes the river a constant
source Of anxiety to the 10, 900, 900 OF
people inhabiting the central plain OF
Asia. 1t is known to have suddenly
changed its course nine times. 1t has
moved its mouth four degrees of lati-
tude each time, emptying its vast
floods in different directions, and find
ing new channel for itself. where
scores of towns and villages have
stood. The river has greatly changed
the physical character Of a wide era,
converting fertile regions into a sandy
desert or making shadows OF them.
Whether it is within the power of
modern science to save this great plain
from disastrous overflow and changes
in the rivers bed, is question which
during late years has been widely dis
cussed, especially in the scientific cir,
clcs of Paris and London.
Another remarkable river is the
Indus great stream in IIindustan.
1t rises in Thibet, and its course is a
remarkable one. On reaching Sussi,
its most northern point, it turns
southward, loses itself in the ills and
rc-appears at Takot, in Kohstan.
The Indus is 100 miles in length.
After receiving the waters Of many
tributaries its channel grows narrow.
and here it divided into many chan
nels, some OF which never return to
the parent stream. 1t abounds in fish
and cr0codilcs.
That classical river, the Ganees, is
erratic course, like the lIoang Ilo. 1t
is prominent both in the religion and
the geography of India. 1t varies not
only from season to season, but from
year to year, and frequently exchanges
old passages for new ones. 1t has
been said that the Ganges delivers
into the sea every year 534, 900, 900 tons
of mud, sand and other solid matter.

S0undings have reached the enorm-
Gus depth of 30.930 feet In the Pacific
ocean. This shows u depression in the
ocean greater by nearly two-thousand
feet than any land elevation in the
world. Thus while Mt. Everest, the
highest measured peak In the world,
is 29,002 feet, or just fraction less
than FIVE and a half miles, here Is a
measured depth but $50 feet less than
six miles. This raises a strong proba-
bility that in some places the ocean Is

ends by illegal means or illegal ends

with the divinely instituted law of
competition, which acts as an obstacle

the operation of the divine law.
Among these was to get all the per-

who should regulate the production

view to robbing the consumers. AS
the facts are practically undisputed,
it is just as well to employ plain words
to express them. Trusts, however,
came to be looked on as contrary to
the law, and have been to a great
extent abandoned. Instead Of trusts,
corporations have been largely intro

IN SUMNER DAYS or LONG AGO
BY IDA wORDEN WHEELER.

To n low-eaved cot by Il winding stream
My thoughts drift back in a mazy dream.
Till seem to stand IN the dear home place,
Where the lilacs crowd to kiss my face,
And memory watts through the quaint Ole
| rooms
A scent of meadow and orchard blooms.
That steals like n prayer through my life's
| unrest
And sinks like balm to my care Kissed breast
Again the mulbcrrys shading boughs
| follow the meek faced, tranquil cows,
And their loo and moo. and bells ting-a-ling
Sound sweet and faint as Idly swing,
| Aud hope and plan, and long and sigh
lof wings like the swallows fitting by
And the great white clouds are my ships al
sea
That some fair day will sail home to me.
And the lazy bullfrogs are croaklng near,
And the startled muskrat's splash hear.
As wade In the vine banked creek TO dip
The peepng CLANS with my willow whip;
While the ripples dance to the same soft tune
And reflect the same blue skies of June.
And the wild bees hum and the far lambs
blcat
And pink crab nips my bare, brown feet.
Up the long. green lane, through sunny
knoll
or tangled strawberry sweets stroll,
TIL come NJ last to II dim. cool dell
Where shy chipinunks and hoptoads dwell;
And us echo wakes to my shrill young call
The squirrels dart from the old stone wall,
And the tell-talc breeze to my list'ning ears
Babblcs the secrets OF coming years.
And when the twilight falls through the sum-
mcr haze,
There comes the form MS in old-timc days,
OF grandmother bent and old and wise.
Who reads my soul with her clear calm eyes.
From her lullaby arms watch the moon,
And bark to n tender. drowsy Groom,
Till over my eyelids the shadows creep
That bear me down to q sweet sound sleep.
