Hell Is a colossal panoramic pic

full conception will allow. or course.
1t will be only fantastic imagination

ii Hung Chang Abroad.

Ii Hung Chang speaks no language
but Chinese and had seen nothing OF
the outside world before starting on his
present tour. Doubtless his eyes have
been opened to the wealth, resources
and civilization which exist outside OF
the Flowery Kingdom, and his obserya-
items should be of benefit to his country
upon his return, should he maintain the
favor of his sovereign. The war with
Japan must have impressed upon the
ruling classes in China that their nation
les far behind the age. Lis visit abroad
must convince them that the ciyiliza-
ton of dragons. kites and paper UNI
brellas cannon Withstand the civiliza-
tion OF Europe and America.-PhiladeL

When Bill Nye paid his last visit to
San Francisco some Bohemian friends

They waited an hour or two for Bill TO
spring one of his quiet jokes, but he

the tug passed Angel Island. There on
the beach was an immense sign board

a reason for it, and perhaps it is only
