CHINA HELD GUILTY.
strong Indictment 10y COrrc~pond-
ent in Picking of the London
Mnil-GiNeA Important News.

London, Aug. AIT last the story of
Picking has been told DR. Morrison,
in the Times. holds up the Chinese
government before the world as
guilty, and to degree of infamv and
duphcity that exceeds the surmise of
its worst detractors. In the same dis
patch he gives more hopeful view of
the prospects of the besieged than has
been expressed by any of the Others
who have been heard from.
Sir Claude MacDonald's latest letter.
while strong indictment of the Chi
nese governments is not nearly so much
so as DR.. Morrson's Dispatch That cor
respondent, with the imperial edicts
as authority, declares tina; as late as
July the imperial government urged
the Boxers to continue their loyal
and patriotic services in eNterminat-
ing the Christians" He explains those
marvellous changes in the Chinese atti-
tude which have so puzzled the world.
1t appears that all the appeals for in
PREVENTION and all the protesta,ions of
friendship have been due entirely to
the victories of the allies at Tientsin.
The ministers at Picking owed their
safety up to July 81 not to govern
ment protection. but to the scarcity of
Chinese ammunition and to the fear
which the Tientsin victories inspired.
When it is remembered how great
reliance is placed upon DR.. Morrison
in England. the Importance of his eN
posture Of the Chinese government can
scarcely be overestimated. 1t seems
to Danish all hopes entertained by
Lord Salisbury that the Chinese gov
eminent might Yet be proved not d.
rectly responsible for the outrage. and
it may result in an entire cessation of
the negotiations with Chinese diplo-
matists. if not an open declaration of
war on the part of the powers

If lightning strikes tree after a
long period of heavy rain, when the
whole surface of the tree is damp, it
generally does very little harm to the
tree and often none at all. If, on the
other hand, the tree is struck when its
surface is dry it is more severely dam
aged, because then the electric spark
will descend by line of lower resist
ance along the damp wood under the
bark. In this case the heat of the
spark instantly produces steam to Is
very high pressure under the bark
and it is generally blown up.

code. 1t is reported to be alb
solutely impossible for any one,
even cipher expert, to read it or to
write message in it without the use
of the code book. The symbols used
are figures arranged in groups to rep
resent weeds. Its basis is a system
of key number which change the Sig

is thus capable of several transposi-

Malaria's breeding place, the Roman

ton of being the most deadly spot on
earth. No human being who works
there escapes malaria, and the malaria
is of the pernicious type. Thousands

ton each year, lured by the prospect
of good pay for harvest work, and yet
knowing that the chances are that
they will not outlive the year. or, at
best, that they will be gaunt, fever
stricken wretches when they emerge
from the death-haunted place.
