had stepped into the house.
He found himself in a small hall
with staircase in front and an open

Astonished at seeing his old friend In

He was sitting just as you see him
when we broke into the house a half
hour ago, and we have let him be for
reasons you can easily appreciate. EX-
anime him closely, Mr.. Sutherland; he
won't notice it,
"But what ails him? Why does he
sit crouched against the table? Is he
hurt, too?
NO; look at his eyes"
Mr.. Sutherland stopped and pushed
aside the long gray locks that half con-

"It looks like it. I don't know that

But she was always too good to him

lay crooked upon the table. and On its
blue cotton sleeve there was a smear
which might have been wine but which
was-blood.

inquiringly at the two men who were
intently watching him.

the cause of scores of technical questions
difficult enough to puzzle the brain of
any scientist. OF course, many of these
questions were answered just prior to the
beginning of the nineteenth century, but
the fact that the matter was thrashed
over some hundred or more years ago
has made little difference to those who
are doing the questioning to-day. They
still want to know when and where the
century is to begin, and. strange as it
may seem, even the scientists are not
agreed among themselves as to the an
swers to these queries
The question of where the century be
gins is not such q difficult one to answer,
when one takes into consideration the
fact that there is a date line way out
in the Pacific that marks the point
where the day changes. For instance,
when the naval and merchant vessels
are crossing the Pacific ocean they
change the date in their logs at the 1S0th
meridian of longitude and it is this boun-
dairy that has come to be known as the
date line.
This 1S0th meridian is one of the most
interesting of facts for the student, for it
is one of the most important lines of de-
narration in existence, it being scarcely
necessary to point out that, to the east
ward going traveller, this line marks the
point from which the local time is ever
later and later, while to the westward
going traveller the time is ever earlier and
earlier than the time of the initial me-
ridian.
The result is that when the traveller,
| in the first case, reaches the 1S0th me-
ridian, his time is twelve hours later
| than that of the first meridian, and when
the traveller, in the second case, reaches
| the same meridian his time is twelve
| hours earlier.
ASIATIC TIME.
If we suppose that these two travellers
meet exactly on the 180th meridian their
times differ by a day, that of the one COM
ing from the Asiatic side being a day
later than that of the one approaching
from the American side. For instance,
when it is Thursday on the American
side it is Friday on the Asiatic side, and
to set things right, from chronological
point of view, it is necessary for the
traveller crossing the line from the
| American side to skip Friday altogether
passing Immediately from Thursday to
Saturday. whereas the traveller crossing
from the Asiatic side is compelled to
have two days in succession.
While it is customary to refer to the
1S0th meridian as the date line. the ac
tual fact is that the real date line does
not follow this meridian with any degree
of exactness. To tell the truth the date
line is extremely crooked, not to say
uncertain in its course, and it is this fact
that has bothered the makers of schoo
books and other standard works of refer
ence not little.
During the past few years the charts
of this boundary have shown not little

AS THE ANCIENT CHINESE
PEOPLE SEE US.
Our Clothes Are Not Well Designed Many Costumes
Open Criticism.
BY WI TING FANG THE CHINESE MINISTER.

I have often wondered at the reason
for the American costume. Your people,
who are progressive in everything, have,
/ believe, started a dress reform. What
has become of it? The way you accom-
plish things here is by calling together
a great convention and deciding what is
to be done Why do you not call a great
convention and have your experts decide
what is the best thing in dress for
women, and for men as well2 Surely
there are improvements which could be
made even in American dress.
For example, II the corset is harmful,
if it cramps the body and impedes the
free circulation of the blood, it could be
loosened. To me a woman is beautiful
when she dresses to her natural figure.
If she is fat, let her dress becomingly
and naturally for a fat woman and not
try to appear thin. If she is thin, there
is no use of her putting on more than
nature has given her in order that she
may appear well rounded. She is pretty
when her natural self, if she is pretty at
all.
As for the clothes that the men wear,
it seems to me that they are too tight for
comfort. Your shoes are tigLt In
China the men have no corns. Your
clothes are not made for the greatest
comfort. They are not so easy to put on
or to take off as ours. In America. 1
understand, consumption is one of your
most fatal diseases. And still you leave

body. Aour clothes open in front and at

the dominant personality in China, both
IN its interior and exterior affairs. He
has had to fight the enemies of his coun-
try and his own. He has been accused of
treachery to the Tartar dynasty, which
has ruled China for so long, but he has
Won victory after victory. His policy
both domestic and foreign, has been
that of opportunism, and it has kept him
in power. There have been periods of
disgrace-in 1870, after the Tientsin mas
sacre, nearly five years ago, after the first
crushing defeats by the Japanese-but
his titles, his honors, and his powers
were both times restored to him increased
and expanded.
He is considered to be the most pro-
gressive Chinaman of to-day Some one

He has favored the adoption and in

been urged and fostered by him. His
enemies declare that in these liberal
views he is guided by selfish principles

uses foreign things as he does foreigners
AS a means to an end. His motto is
declared to be "China for the Chinese. y

six feet in height, stoutly built, erect il
carriage, commanding in presence. His
face is strongly moulded, with the lines
that physiognomists declare indicate
strength of character. His lips are thin
His skin is deep yellow, very much
wrinkled. His eyes are dark and pierre

seem to penetrate the very marrow of 6
persons thoughts. A heavy white mus
