meat equally, and it can also be
Drowned without burning. A sheet of
metal is bent to the shape shown. to
receive the revolving spit. The piece
of meat is attached to the spit by the
crosspins, and the spit Is suspended to
the ends of the supports. The crank
by which the roast is turned is pro-
vided with a pin near the outer end,
and the metal sheet is perforated at
intervals to receive the pin and lock
the meat in any desired position. When
the under side of the meat is done suf-
ficiently the crank is pulled out a
short distance to release the pin, when
the meat can be revolved until the pin
engages another perforation and locks
itself in place.

Chinese Are PoIytheistic.

Whether the Chinese have ever, at
any time in their long history, had
perception or conception of one true
God, Father and Creator of all
things,'' is a question that has been
long and learnedly discussed by
scholarly students of their classical
writings. It is still an open question.
But there is no doubt at all that for
many centuries past they have wor-
shipped the sun, the moon and the
stars and a host of ancestral deities.
All the gods of China may be said to
have been dead men, and by the right
of ancestral worship, it may be affirm
ed that in a sense all the dead men OF
China are gods. Temples are con-
stantly erected, by the consent of the
emperor, to men, who, while living,
have in various ways distinguished
themselves. 1t is impossible to say
that any one of these men may not, in
the slow evolution Of ages, rise to the
highest place among the national di-
whites. There can, therefore, be no
doubt whatever that as a nation the
Chinese are polytheistic.

Strange Money.


"The strangest money I ever saw"
said a commercial traveller to a Wash
ington Star reporter the other day,
in the mountain districts of Ken
lucky and West Virginia. Early last
spring I was making my -semi-annual
tour through this region, and stopped
n morning 1T a little grocery store
and saloon, not to sell goods, but to
get a drink of the mountain dew
While | was pouring out my drink a
big, husky mountaineer entered the
place and called for a drink. AS ne
finished gulping it down he reached
into a large pocket and drew fortn
what looked to be a c~oonsk1n, anu,
opening a drawer, hauled out a RABBIT
skin, which he offered as change. Inc
mountaineer picked up the skin ana
started to the front part of the store
which vas the grocery department..
He there bought a twist OF plug tobac-
-coand rendered the rabbit skin in pay
ment. He received a big twist OF long
green, and / was surprised to see the
storekeeper reach in another raWer
and tender him a squirrel skin. The
mountaineer tucked the squirrel skin
in his pocket, walked out, unhltched
his horse, and rode away. | became
interested and engaged the proprietor
in conversation. He told me that some
times he would go months without see
ing any real money, and that the
mountaineers used the skins In all
kinds of trades, such as buying pro-
visions, horses etc. He said that tour
times a year a hide buyer from Lex
ington or Cincinnati visited the coun-
try and bought up all the skins, which
were generally concentrated in the few
stores in the vicinity. But OF all the
queer financial transactions I have
ever known" continued the drummer,
"the oldest came under the head OF
paying the fiddler 1t had been nois-
ed abroad that a dance was to be given
a little way up the mountain, and
= agreed to go along with one or the
boys to see the fun. After going
through the elaborate preparation OF
backing his boots and putting on a
white shirt and collar, I saw my com
, panion go to the potato bin and care
fully select a dozen nice potatoes and
put them in his pocket. No sooner
had we arrived at the music hall
than he gracefully surrendered his
vegetables for an entrance ticket. But
what puzzled me the most was thai
upon coming out, after dancing al
night, he was given two onions in
change. l have been trying to make
up my mind ever since just what the
dance was worth in the currency O.

Railways of China.

Most of the railways of China are in
the region which is now the scene of
military operations and of the depre-
dations of the Boxers. A railway
eighty miles long, belonging to an
English company, extends from the
port of Tien-Tsin north to Pekin. At
Fengtai, five miles south of Pekin, on
this line, begins the Belgian "Lu Han
railway, which extends southwest
seventy-eight miles to Paotingfu,
where the Boxers have been particu-
larly active. Boths the English and
the Belgian lines have been largely
destroyed by the rioters, From Tien-
Tsin a railway extends 287 miles east
ward to Chenchou, and there are
branches ~aggregating fifty miles. AL
together the English system has 407
miles, and the Belgian Lightweight.
1t Is the former that is to be ultimately
connected with Moukden, in the Rus
sian sphere, where it will connect
with the Siberian railway. About six
ty miles of the American Hankan-Pe-
kin line have been graded, but work
is now stopped.

Jottings.

AS the Kneiper river takes a south
westerly direction in order to dis
charge itself into the Black sea it
passes a succession of rapids and it is
proposed to utilize the power of the
rapids for the generation of electricity.
Ink will not dry up rapidly in a new
we'll, which has a depending conical
opening in the upper side of a glass
cube, with a second cone supported
by the bottom and having the edge
higher than the tip of the upper cone,
the lower cone being filed by a quick
upward motion of the we'll.
Arrow poison of the Wagogo is de-
rived from the juice of the bark of
two euphorbiaceous trees by continued
boiling. Brieger has isolated therefrom
a crystalline body which corresponds
chemically and physiologically with
the Wakamba arrow poison. The eu-
phorbia Juice appears to act rs a pro-
gressive poison.

The total receipts of the patent Of
fee were ST. 1858 ,228; total expenditures,
81, FAT 1928; surplus turned into treas
ury, $11O,401. On July /, thirty out of
the thirty-six examiners had their
new work within one month from the
date of filing and three Of the remain
ing six overran that time by only one
day. The amended work in nearly all
of the divisions was acted on within
fifteen days after filing.
Applications awaiting action by the
patent Office numbered 1854, which Is
between 500 and 500 more than on July
/, 1899. The number of applications
for patents, ETC., received during the
fiscal year just closed was 5000 great
er than during the preceding year, and
the number of amendments acted upon
was also correspondingly greater. The
work of the clerical divisions also has
been kept up to date.

The immense cost to street-car COM

summer and winter use has led Franz
Burger and Henry M. Williams to de-

A Bankrupt irish Earl.

The Earl of Clancarty, who made
himself famous by marrying the music
hall artistic, Belle Bolton, does not
seem to be in too fo%urishing a state
as regards money matters. Recently
in the Court of Queens Bench, Dublin,
an order was granted against his lord
ship for the sum of SIT rs Sd, being
the amount due to Messrs. Falkner, Of
Grafton street, for liquors supplied to
him. The late earl was so much an

She was startled by the loneliness of
her W reflection in the glass. Why
did she feel so happy, why Sud
denly she seemed to see again the
homage of those flashing blue eyes.
No! She surely was not so silly as
that! In delicious, girlish shame she
pressed her slim fingers over her eyes
to shut out those others. But they

Tonight Giles Ferguson would come

A sharp sense of repulsion over

him! She would not. She bathed,

5 o'clock the hopeful sutton made his
appearance. He wore a brand new
suit, and was apparently prepared for
conquest. He and Bessinger talked.
At 10 Barbara was to give her final de-
cision. She watched the clock in an
agony of nervousness. Half past 8!
The hands were moving around the
dial with appalling speed. Nine! She
did not know the bell had rung-
that a visitor was shown in. He was
young, tall, good looking. With a
start she recognized the agile captor
of her veil.
