impedes standardization, burt when the
river reaches the lower level Of the val
ley and the rapidity of it's descent is
checked the soil sinks to the bottom.
This is an ordinary process, but in
the case of the Hoang-Ho or yellow
river it is made extraordinary by the
enormous volume of the clayish deposit.
1t goes on so rapidly and the current is
so slow that the bed of the river is con-
stantly filling up. and to prevent the
water from spreading over the valley in
shallow lake it has been necessary to
construct and is essential ITO maintain
an immense system of artificial en-
bankments. AS the river rises the
height of these embankments is in
creased, and at many places along its
couGse the surface of the river is high
above the level of the surrounding
country. Under such conditions the re-
currence of destructive foundations is
inevitable.
The entertainments are supposed to be
under constant surveillance. and any
weakness that may develop is mmedi-
ately repaired, but Chinese science and
Chinese numbers are unable to resist
the mighty pressure of the swollen river
in times of flood. A break takes place
in the protecting wall, through which
the river pours, sections of the en-
bankment are swept away, and pretty
soon the adjacent country has been
converted into lake.
These recurrent visitations are en-
dured by the Chinese with characters
tic resignation. AS result of flood
of this character which took place late
ly nearly 100000 human beings are
said to be on the verge of starvation.
A few years ago a flood occurred from
which it was estimated 5000, 900 people
lost their lives. Yet the Chinese no
| more think of deserving the scene of
these repeated disasters than the Egyp-
tians think of leaving the valley of the
Nile. They know the danger that they
run. but the fertility of the soil thus
Unfortunately watered draws them to the
locality with an Irresistible attraction
If Western energy and skill could con-
troll the yellow river the blessing to
the Chinese people would be immeas-
urable

The River of Death.

From the New York Sun.
The HoangHo or yellow river is at
once the scourge and the blessing of
China. Recently it ragged in one of its
periodical rises and brought death and
disaster to the millions of Chinese who
live in the extensive and fertile region
which it waters.
For centuries it's foundations, more or
less severe, but invariably disastrous,
have been a periodical recurrence. and
every effort ITO prevent them has been

it from the mountains where it has it's

soil. from whose appearance it derives
its name. This soil is neld in suspen-
sion in the upper reaches of the stream,

COULDN'T SPEAK SPANISH
Woes of Nurse With the American
Army in Cuba.

From the Washington Post.
An army nurse, but lately returned
from Cuba to Washington declares that
never again Will she go to a country
whose language she cannot understand.
1t was before hostilities had come to a
definite end that she was startled one
day by the unexpected visit of her
Cuban laundress. The woman was in
'tensely excited. Anxiety sat on her
brow and sorrow dwelt in her eyes. She
gesticulated and she talked. The nurse
knew not a word Of what she said, but
the pantomime filled her with terror
The Cuban's hands seemed to speak of
an attack on the hospital--of wounded
men butchered and nurses cut to rib
hons. The nurse was frantic. She must
know the worst. In the hospital was
an officer very i'll with typhoid fever
She knew he understood Spanish. Only
in a matter of life or death would she
disturb him, but this was obviously a
matter of life or death. She led the
Cuban woman to the bedside, and there
the story was repeated. The officer lis
tened attentively. The nurse held her
breath. The Cuban ceased, The sick
man turned his head on the pillows:
She says" he whispered feebly, she
says that the stripes on your pink shirt
waist have run. and she doesn't know
what to do with it."
That same nurse cOnfesses to having
been desperately homesick down in
Cuba.
1T gave me the blues" she said mot
to be bic to make even the children
understand me. and one day, one indigo
day, a great, big sleek cat walked into

thing that could understand me.

The peace message was published in
August Of last year. Only two months
later came the imperial proposition for
the new Finnish army bill. No two state
papers could have been more incongruous

letter as we'll as In the spirit for although
the Firms are more concerned about the
constitutional principle involved than
about the army increase, the latter in its
small way stultlAes the moral address to
the nations.
Finland's army has consisted Of but
$500 men. and these are intended for the
defense of the country. Now It is ordered
that a total force amounting to 5000 men
shall be raised by series Of conscrlp-

that the surplus above the original fig
