to realize. AT least five times that Of

will grow rapidly with the development
of the civilization which is to be forced
upon these people who have stood still
for thirty centuries. How strange it
seems, by the way, that so much of
the knowledge from which modern CIV
ilization springs has been derived from
the Chinese.
During the last few years, however,
China has undergone wonderful
changes. On every side in that country
one sees evidences of newborn ac-
tivity and enterprise. The old-fash-
ioned, conservative Chinaman with his
cry of foreign devil" is being crowd
ed to the rear. One hears much talk of
railways of mills of various kinds and
of enterprises of all sorts. The ma
tives have suddenly become progress
sive; they want to learn about modern
inventions and scientific discoveries.
At Wei-hsien a Chinaman is engaged
in making bicycles. This genius is able
to turn out a fair wheel, but cannot
master the pneumatic tires. He solves
the problem by covering rope with

The 300-pound man was doing his
best to get through the row of crowded
seats to the chair which his own cou-
pom called for. Naturally he found diff
ficulty in making his way over all sorts
of humanity, and he had such a time
that nearly every one in the theater
stopped watching the play to look at
the performance in the audience.
Suddenly he stepped on the foot of a
small man who was trying to hide
himself behind a pair of opera glasses.
"Demme, sir, can't you see my feet?"
expostulated the little man in loud
whisper.
Impossible, sir" replied the fat man,

to sit down. you've got your shoes

too much for her Take a figure or
two for illustration. In 1890 there was
only one mill in China using foreign
machinery. In Shanghai alone to-day
there are over 100 such mills, and scat
tered all over the empire tall chimney
stacks loom on the horizon. Iron mills,
paper mills, cotton mills, all sorts of
mills, are being created. In 1890 not a
steam vessel of any description was al
lowed to run In any waters except at
the treaty ports; now the rivers are
covered with small steamers and steam
launches. Telegraph lines run through
the most anti-foreign provinces. In
1890 a high native official, who had
tried to establish a telegraph in the
Human Province, was obliged TO fee for
his life, all of the apparatus and ma
terial being destroyed To-day this
province is eagerly pushing forward
enterprises of all sorts; schools for
teaching English are found 1000 miles
from the coast, the electric light is
used, bicycles are common and the for
efgner is no longer stoned or reviled.

A century hence the Chinese empire
will be gridironed with American rail-
ways traversed by Yankee locomotives
drawing trains of cars built in United
States factories. These trains will carry
not only Oriental passengers, grown in
different to the sacrilege OF running
over the graves of their ancestors, but
coal and iron from Chinese mines. The
mines will be controlled mostly by
American capital, and their machinery
will be of American make. There VIII
be other mines, too, of gold, silver, lead
and various other valuable metals ana
minerals derivable from the bowels OF
the earth For, If the testimony or

mission to the people to avail them
selves freely of their untouched wealth
underground. The absurdity OF the
present situation in this regard is fairly
illustrated by the fact that steamboats,
at Ichang, 1000 miles inland on the
Yangtse River. are compelled to burn
costly imported Japanese coal, although
Ichang is situated on the borders of
one of the richest coal fields In the
world. The coal deposits of that region
are so remarkable as to arrest the at
tention of casual travellers, but the Gov

twenty-eight years ago and worked for
William Dixon, splitting pickets on
Millard's ranch near san Geronimo
After that he worked for the S. +. ray

the old paper mill. For thirteen years
he worked at splitting pickets on the
Shafter estate. Until he left he lived
in the old cabin formed by the tree
stump and a little timber.

Steadman continued, and told him
about the reports. At first he was
simply wild with rage and said it was
all a pack of lies, but l stuck to him
and gradually he got Quieter and adj
mitted nearly all had heard. He adj
mitted that he had left a lot of prop

conclusion, the old man was a hard
nut, but he was the hardest worker for
a man 20 years old I ever run across

In Nicasio Abbott now lives in an old
weather beaten mansion about which
ghosts seen{Ro glide. At every gust of
wind the clapboards and shingles rattle
and the dry weeds and dead grasses
whistle mournful tune.
Abbott as he appeared on his own
doorstep is tall and slender, but glance
sufficed to show that he was muscular
and hardy. His head was surmounted
by an old straw hat, in which a hole
had been filed with a rag. His face
was covered with a scanty gray beard,
which covered the sides and grew
somewhat longer under the chin An
old black shirt hung nearly to his knees
and his trousers were tucked into the
tops of his boots.

A gold mining company was organ
lied in 1896 in this province (SZechuan)
by a Chinaman named Tong, who stud
led mining in the United States. He got
the sanction OF the Viceroy to buy ma
chinery, but the people petitioned the
latter official to stop the work. Samples
of gold from the mines had been shown
to the Viceroy and the petition was
not granted. Szechuan has a popula-
ton nearly equal to that of France and
an area about as great.
Shantung is described as one vast
mineral field. Gold, silver, copper, iron,
lead, coal and even diamonds are found.
The gold mines have been worked by
California miners, but they had to
abandon the task, owing to the OBJ
structivenesS of the native officials ten
years ago. 1t is expected that with the
advent Of the locomotive in the near
future great activity will be shown in
exploiting gold, coal and other miner
ais. Were this province under any other
rule 1t would be one of the greatest
mining sections in the world. 1t has
a population of 29, 900, 000-about the
same as that Of Spain. This is one of
the northeastern provinces of China
proper, and through it runs the famous
Hoang-Ho or Yellow River, known as
"China's Sorrow" by reason of the
destruction of millions Of people by it's
frequent overf1ows. In this province
