Several persons who have come here

of Chu Can.
According to the same dispatch, it is

CHINA HELPLESS.
The Shanghai correspondent of the

eminent is helpless. 1t is mobil1ztng
it's few troops under the least incapable
generals who conducted the campaign
against Japan. The British fleet is at
present at sea-"
The Daily Chronicle this morning
says it has good reason to believe that
the government has decided upon q
watching policy and will refrain from
occupying any Chinese territory for the
present, but it will give it's moral sup
port to Japan and distinct warnings TO
China concerning England's action in
contingencies.
JAPAN WILL PROTEST.
1t is understood. says the Daily
Chronicle, that Japan will protest IN
the strongest manner against Ger
many's action, and diplomatic circles
ridicule the idea of a Russo-German
entente concerning China.
The press is evidently deeply inter
ested as to the attitude Great Britain
and the United States are likely to
adopt in the Chinese affair. Every at
tempt is being made to create i'll feel
ing against England and to represent
her as isolated.
The official newspapers pretend thai
Japan has acquiesced in the German
and Russian moves and will take nc
aggressive action. Everything indicates
the anxiety that hinges upon the ulti-
mate grouping of the powers, Japan
action in withdrawing her protest with
reference to the course of the United
States at Hawaii is interpreted a:
showing a desire to be unencumberec
abroad and to have her hands free tc

The Useful Toad.

The Massachusetts Agricultural COL
lege has wisely issued ulletin show
ing the economic value of the toad to
farmers, fruit culturists and vegetable
gardeners. In Paris it's usefulness is 80
well understood that it is reared and
kept on sale in the markets. The gar
deners buy the creatures by the dozen
and turn them loose in their grounds to
destroy the worms and insects that prey
on the vegetables. That American
farmers, and especially American boys,
do not know they are killing one of the
agriculturists' best friends when they
destroy the toad is proof of a lamentable
lack in their education.
Teachers ought to take the matter in
hand and instruct school children in the
value to man of the gentle toad. It is
not venomous; it neither bites nor stings.
All it does is to hop about the ground
and eat bugs, flies and worms that de-
YOUR garden vegetables. If you treat
toad kindly and pay it little attentions
that even it can appreciate, it can be
tanned
The boy who kills a toad certainly
lets loose upon the flower and vegetable
garden just the number of worms and
pests that toad would have eaten if he
had allowed it to live out it's 80 wears
of life.

If the claim If DR.. Stephen II. EN-
mems Of Staten Island be correct, he has
actually succeeded in changing plain
Mexican dollars into as good an article
of gold as any found in the Klondike.
He has disposed of half a dozen ingots
of his artificial gold at the United
States mint in New Y ork, and the super
intendent of the mint declares that the
substance stands every test of natural
gold.
DR.. Emmens is the inventor of the
explosive emmensite, used in the guns
of the United States army and navy.
His name is familiar in scientific cir
cles and societies as that of man hard
to humbug and not likely to humbug
other people. He is member Of the
American Institute of Mining Engineers
and other learned bodies. He claims to
first turn the Mexican dollars into what
he calls "argentaurum, which is Latin
for silvergold. Why he does not call it
plain silvergold at once, without drag
ging it around through the Latin and
then translating, it is hard to under
stand.
The doctor holds to the theory that in
all the universe there is only one orig
inal substance. 1t is by different COM
binations of the particles or atoms of
this original that all the varieties of
substances known to man are produced
in nature. If, therefore, man can get
hold of the key to the combination, as
it were, he will be able to turn any
known substance into any other that he
desires to make. It is a comforting the
DRY anyhow.
By long and hard pounding at low
temperature the inventor of artificial
gold claims to turn silver into the yell
low metal. He is not in the business
for scientific purposes, he confesses, but
for pure ingots of bullion, which he in
tends to turn into good United States
eagles and half eagles as fast as he can
make the stuff. Perhaps he will tell the
secret by and by when he has laid up
millions enough for his own use the rest
of his life. Still, if gold could be turned
out at a factory like shoes and plows, it
would shortly be less valuable than
iron
