Country-An American win Build
the Road.

SEATTLE, Oct. "A. w. Bash, gen
eral agent of the Chinese Develop
ment Company, sails on October 10th,
with W. Barclay Parsons, chief en-
gineer of the company, for China to
start work on one of the greatest rail-
roads to be built in China
The Chinese Government has grant
ed to Bash and plumber of wealthy
capitalists the right to build and
operate a line of railroad from Han
kow to Canton and the sea opposite
Hongkong, about 800 mile in all. The
line will traverse the richest and
most extensive tea-growing district of
the empire. 1t will also tap one of
the finest coal fields in the world, be-
sides draining country of one mill
lion people.
The company is capitalized at S4O.-
100000, which, it is said will be re-
quired for the construction of the
road. Under the agreement the line
is to be in operation three years after
construction work has begun.
No less than 100000, 900 feet of lum-
Der will be used i'm making the ties
and bridge timbers for the road. Grad
ing camps will be supplied with flour
and other articles from this Coast.
SAN FRANCISCO, October, 2.-Gen-
eral William Barclay Parsons, Chief
of Engineers on the staff of the Gov
ernor of New York, with the rank of
Brigadier General and for many years
chief engineer of the Rapid Transit
Company of the City of New York. is
expected to arrive here within a few
days. He is going to China with a
corps of engineers and surveyors TO
survey route for a railroad that IS
to connect Hankow with Canton and
Hongkong, and will sail from here
with his party early in the present
month.
The American company is to build
and equip the road for the Chinese
Government. which will retain the
ownership of the property The COM
pany will accept Chinese Government
bonds in payment. taking for security
mortgage on the railroad and a lien
on its revenues. Certain Belgian in
terests now have Il contract for con-
structing a line from Peliing south
ward to Hankow. This, with the line
to be built by the American company,
will make through line of about l.
800 miles between Picking and Canton.
General Parsons is expected to make
hasty but thorough study of the
route of the proposed line and submit
a report within eight months. The
country through which the road will
pass is almost unknown, and no maps
of the region which are of any value
can be obtained. Therefore an impor-
tant part of the work of the survey
ing party will be to secure data from
which fairly accurate maps can be
prepared, and the reconnaissance sur
vey of General Parsons will thus be
an important contribution TO geo.
graphical knowledge.

Sellers,

One day while Mark Twain and
Charles Dudley Warner were walking
together they happened to begin d dis
cussion of the modern moved, and one or
b other suggested that 1t might be a
good plan to burbesque it. Later while
1ourneying together to Boston this sug-
gestion took definite shape, and on their
return the work was begun, one author
writing a chapter, the other taking up
the threads of the story the next day,
and both critically examining the result
each evening and asking the opinions of
their wives as to the sue cess of each
stage of the undertaking. Finally they
collected all the manuscript, of which
there was too great a quantity, and
Jointly condensed it. 1t was owing to q
suggestion by Mr.. Warn er that the
chief character In the tale was called
Colonel Eschol Sellers, and 1t Is a fact
that the man whose name was taken-a
man supposed to be long dead-made a
fery demand for satisfaction, visiting
Hartford for that purpose In later edi-
lions of the story the nm ne "Eschol"
was changed to Mulberry. Ladies'

Cemetery FOR Old Clothes. !
In the north of London there Is a lit
Sic plot of ground where old clothes are
buried and afterward exhumed for q
curious purpose. It Is a fiat, barren and
destitute piece of ground and presents a
very melancholy spectacle. Little wood

graves.
There is a paper mill near by. which
finds It rather difficult to get suitable
material for the manufacture Of q special
paper.
The ordinary old rags are no good.
The rags themselves have to be manu-
featured Old coats, old trousers and
old dresses are covered with wet soil.
and after a few weeks rotting are ex-
humed.
A corner Is set aside for old linen
goods. The linen is placed in layers In
a box, with soft rich soil between each
layer, and then buried.
Limewater Is then sprinkled over
the grave, and after a fortnight's rot
ting the linen is reduced TO a mere
skeleton, which Is taken out of the box,
laid fiat in a warm blanket and rush
ed off to the paper mill.
Though it is only the size of a foot
ball ground, 1t contains 3, 900 graves,
which are marked by Q 1000 wooden
