The average Chinaman possesses a
remarkable memory. He will learn to
make himself understood in almost any
foreign language in less than half the
time it requires an intelligent English
nan or American to make himself I'M
derstood in any one of the many Chi
nese dialects. This disparity has led to
some curious anomalies in the trade
of the country. Thus at all the open
ports trade with foreigners is carried
on by means Of middlemen, or agents,
who are always natives. They are
called "compradores."
If a foreign merchant wishes 10 buy
tea, silk, porcelain or other articles of
native product he must do SO through
his "compradores." If he wishes to
sell any article Of foreign product to a
native house he must again call in the
"~compradore." The "compradore" en-
ploys all the servants of the foreigners
establishments, fixes their salaries and
is responsible for their honesty. He
keeps the foreign traders bank ac-
count Strengthened out with the native
bankers, and makes out shipping lists
and invoices. Practically, though nom
inally a mere upper servant, he is the
real head of the house, and his word is
law. He is usually a shrewd fellow,
and watches closely his employers in
terests, not forgetting his own. He
has certain legitimate commissions, or

One Inventors Fantasy.


"a distinguished scientist has sesi-
deep enough to use the heat of the
earth as fuel" said a prominent en-
gineer of this city. THAT sounds
rather fantastic, in view of the fact
that a depth of $4,000 feet would be
necessary to boil water. but a scheme
of the same sort was urged with great
energy back in the eos by a Wash
ington inventor named Forian. If my
memory is correct. Forian was a man
of considerable means and a mathe-
matician Of ability. The internal heat
of the earth is supposed to equal about
one degree to the 100 feet of penetra-
ton. but he claimed to have discover
ed that the percentage was very much
greater and increased in compound ra-
ito after a certain depth was reached.
He figured out an elaborate table and
proposed to sink a huge shaft with
accumulators at the bottom from
which unlimited steam would be
supplied to the surface. All that was
needed was a few million dollars capt.
tai to pay for the digging and the
plant, and he Immediately set to work
to raise the amount.
TT is a striking commentary upon
the short memory of the reading pub
lie that this singular enterprise,
which attracted so much attention at
the time and was the subject of almost
unlimited newspaper notoriety, should
now be practically forgotten. Forian
succeeded in interesting a number of
people of wealth and formed a joint
stock company, but meanwhile his
calculations were assailed by scien-
fists and it was shown pretty clearly
that the figures were incorrect. He
replied with great bitterness, and the
consequences was that the scheme
went to pieces in the shock of contro-
versy. What became of Forian I don't
know. If the problem is yer actually.
solved, I suppose he will be ished out
of the limbo of cranks and Missionaries
to take his proper place in history"

ANOTHER HUDSON BRIDGE.

Secretary Root has signed an official
document approving the plans for the
new $50, 600 900 double-deck Hudson
river bridge. This great public i'm
provement, which has been long need
ed in the effort to rehabilitate the COM
merce of the of the port of
New York, will preclude any further
delay.
The structure will run from West
New York across the Hudson. 1t will
have six tracks for steam railroads on
the main level and four trolley tracks,
a roadway and pedestrian and cycle
paths on the upper deck, constituting
the most complete bridge structure
ever planned. This bridge is a combi-
nation of the suspension and cantilever
principles.
The cost of construction is estimated
at more than 81 ,000, 900 per mile. This,
OF course. does not include the orna-
mentation of the boulevard and the
carriage approaches and stairways for
pedestrians and bicyclists, all of which

There is a popular impression that
microbes and germs of all kinds are
killed by intense cold. Recent exper-
1ments In the laboratory of Professor
DeWar, the man who solidiied hydro
gen, shows that this impression is err
roneous. Many forms of bacteria were
subjected to the tremendous cold of
liquid air for an entire week without
interruption, yet a%fterward they de-
veloped as vigorously as they would
have done If they had not undergone
so frosty an experience.

Cheaper Steel.

The work of lowering the %unreason-
able prices demanded for steel and
iron products was begun by the Amer
lean Steel and Wire company. The ex-
ample proved contagious, and little by
little other companies initiated it. FL
nally the big eastern manufacturers
of structural steel have followed suit.
They waited until last week, because
they were in a pool and thought them
selves free from the danger of COM
petition. So long as they had the
field to themselves they were resolved
to Keep prices up to the highest notch.

PREVENTS PURSE sNATcHINo
William Erik, of Pennsylvania, has
obtained a patent on the pocketbook

attachment illustrated below, which
eryes to prevent the purse from being
easily snatched from the hand. The
device can be attached to any purse
in a moment. and is not the slightest
Inconvenience to a lady when carrying
her pocketbook in her hand. When
not in use the guard folds inside the
flap, out of sight. The invention con-
sists of a flat piece of metal or a twist
ed wire, which is fixed in place by a
rivet passing through a hole pierced
through the side of the purse. This
serves to hold the guard in such a po-
sition that it will project just beyond
the edge of the flap when in use, al
lowing one finger to be inserted in the
eyelet at the end. The guard is al
most invisible while in use, and is sure
to accomplish its purpose.

The majority of people are more
frightened by thunder than lightning.
II we study the philosophy Of light
ming 1t is a simple matter to under
stand hat thunder is only the report
of the bolt. This report is produced
quite similar to that of a gun. When
a charge rs fired from a gun 1t pro-
duces what might be termed a tempo
rary acuu and when the air rushes
in to fill it the report is heard. II a
mar should be shot through a vital
part in such a way as to produce in
slant death he would not hear the re-
port. Neither will one who is struck
by lightning see the flash or hear the
report. therefore one who sees the
flash need have no fear from the bolt.
1t would require about one eighth of
a second for the rays of light from
the flash to be conveyed to and sensed
by the brain and before tnan time the
light Of life would be snuffed out.
Further study of the subject reveals
the fact that electricity passes SO rap
causes the air to be heated to a white
heat. This enables us to see the track
is pursued. This rapid transit of the
bolt produces a temporary vacuum and
as the air rushes together we hear the
report, Immediately or later in accord
ance with the distance the sound must
travel.

Lightning,s Deadly Bolt.


When we come to make calculations
on the prospect of our being killed by
lightning we o discover that the
chances are in about the same proper
ton as they are to the average citizen
suddenly becoming an heir to a mil
ion dollars.
Statistics show that in the United
States the average number killed by
lightning is 312 every year. If we have
rs, 000, 900 people in our country our
chance would then be about one in
240, 900.
The greatest percentage of fatalities
is among farmers. This is in all
probably due to the fact that they are
more often in open fields away from
taller objects which would naturally
attract the bolt.
During a storm it will be well to be
within a reasonable distance-say sew
enty-fve to 100 feet-of some taller
object that would serve as a conductor
for the immense charge of electricity.
1t is decidedly dangerous to stand be-
meath a tree for shelter.
