afternoon. From her top flew the sig
nal "Homeward bound" and painted on
her smol1estack was the figure %. The
cruiser did not stop, but kept on up the
bay and probably anchored for the night
below the minefields at Reedy island.

% knots had been made. This was the
contract time. The test was made over
the 40 mile course outside the capes be
tween Five Fathom Bank lightship and
the Fenwick Island lightship.

FRUIT OF THE POPPY.

In 1892 81 per cent. of the suicides in
India were from the use of opium and
one statistician credits 80 per cent. of
the women suicides to the same drug.
e-thirteenths of the opium of
India is sent to China for smoking. Dur
ing Victoria's reign the Chinese have
paid into the British treasury for In
dian opium $3.50, 100000.
The growers of India, in white tur.
bans and gowns, sit in the blazing sun
waiting for their opium to be sorted
when they go to market. The unripe
poppy seed pod has been cut into five
times and the milky sap dried in the
sun and kneaded into cakes. the best
of which are covered with dried leaves,
and thus brought to market.
The Chinese government does all in
its power to check the opium ha bit, the
punishments common in the Chinese
army for this habit being extreme. For
the first offense man may have his up
per lip cut; for the second he may be
decapitated. For the last 60 years on an
average a half-ton of opium has been
sent to China from India every hour.
