MOHAMMEDANs IN The CHINESE ARMY.

The Chinese army, which IS reported
to be opposing the advance of the
combined forces sent by the powers to
relieve the embassies blockaded in
Pekin, comprises several regiments
from the western provinces of Kansuh
and shensi, which are largely composed
of Mohammedans. They form some
of the best fighting regiments in the
Chinese regular army, and are dis.
tinguished for their hostility toward
foreigners. In the provinces of Kan
sub and Yunnan, more than half the
population are Mohammedans, and
the number of Chinese protesting that
creed throughout the empire is stated
at between 2O,000,000 and 10000, 900.
The religion entered China by cara
vans in the north and by sea in the
south. The first mosque in north
China was built at Hsian Flu in Shensi
in 742. From Shensi it made its way
into Kansuh, and later Mongol con-
quests resulted in a great immigration
of Mussulmans from Syria, Arabia and
Persia into the western part of the
empire. The immigrants gradually
lost their racial peculiarities by mar
riage with Chinese women.
Tradition says thai Mussulmans first
came to Canton in the sixth year OF
the Hegira, early in the seventh CEN
tury, under the leadership of mater
nal uncle of Mohammed, whose tomb
is still an object of reverence for
Chinese Mussulmans. In 75S their
numbers were increased by some 1000
Arabs who came to assist in quelling
an insurrection, and then, like the
Manchus, declined to withdraw. Their
increase since then has been mainly
due to the ordinary causes and the
purchase of poor children In time OF
famine, and their numbers today would
probably have been larger than they
are had it not been for their numerous
rebellions, notably that known as the
Panthas rebellion, that lasted from
1856 to 1875, and in which more than
100000 of them perished. Preserv-
ing the military spirit, they have been
by turns of use and danger to the
government and dynasty but at pres
ent they find themselves in accord
with the rest of their countrymen in
their common antipathy to the for
eigner.

NOT MUCH Of A LIFT.

Farmers, even those who are con-
sidered "nigh" in other respects, are
usually quite willing to give foot pas
sengers "lift )" but they like to be
asked for the favor politely. A native
of Hillville was returning from the
county fair at Brookby with an empty
wagon, when he overlook smartly
dressed young man who was plodding
along with the disgusted air of one
unused to country roads and sandy
soil.
"Hello, hayseed r' cried the foot
passenger, turning round as he heard
the rattle of wagon wheels and stand
ing still until the farmer drove up:
"Can a fellow get lift to 'Sconset ?"
and without waiting for a reply, he
vaulted into the wagon. II might as
well ride with you as walk, l guess.
Now, then, start up your nag"
The farmer looked at the young
man little sharply, but said nothing
beyond a "Git up" addressed to his
horse.
After two or three miles had been
traversed the young man paused for a
moment in his inconsequent chatter
and remarked:
"It's more of a distance to 'Sconset
than I supposed"
"It is quite distance" responded
the farmer in a noncommittal tone.
Another 20 minutes passed, and then
the young man inquired:
"About how far is it to 'Sconset"
"Well," replied the farmer, "keep'

Senator b. r. Tillman Is Suggested Among

The Philadelphia North American

the editors of prominent newspapers
throughout the United States as to the
logical running mate of Bryan, in view
of the selection of Theodore Roose-
velt by the Republican National con-
vention as the vice presidential can
didate.
There is a wide divergence of opin.
ion, at least 25 Democrats of more or
less prominence being named as posi-
bilities, strong running mates for Colo

World William R. Hearst, of the New
York Journal; Senator Tillman; shi.
veley, of Indiana; Bookwalter, OF
Ohio General Fitzhugh Lee; Robert
E. Pattison, of Pennsylvania Admir-
al Dewey and General Joseph Wheeler.
One California editor suggests Emilio
Aguinaldo. The tabulated vote shows
decided preference for Hill, of New
York but no one has clear majority.
Another favorite is Hearst. He is
almost as strong as Hill. General
Wheeler is another whose name the
editors believe would be strong one
to conjure with.
Admiral Dewey finds little favor.
Pattison, of Pennsylvania, is regarded
by many as strong candidate, and
Fitzhugh Lee is held by not a few to
be the one man who can match the
popularity of Roosevelt.

TIEN TSIN A HUGE CITY.
Description of the Present Scene OF Fight
ing In China.

Description of the Present Scene OF Fight
ing In China.
Tien Tsin is 80 miles southeast of
Pekin, the capital of the empire, &C.
cording to the New York Tribune.
The climate is similar to that of Wash
ington, and navigation is closed for the
months of December, January and
February, and sometimes in March.
James w. Ragsdale, for nearly three
years past the United States consul at
Tien Tsin, was born February -,
1S4S, near, Bloomington, Ind, and
emigrated with his parents to Iowa in
1850. He grew up on farm until the
fall of 1868, when he volunteered in
Company G, Thirteenth Iowa infantry,
though he was under 16 years of age.
The last two years of the war he served
as a non-commissioned officer under
General Sherman, participating in all
the battles and campaigns of that COM
mander, including the march through
Georgia and the Carolinas, and the
grand review at Washington after the
surrender. After three years study at
Cornell college, Mount Vernon, Iowa,
he emigrated to Washington territory
in 1872, and thence to California in
1898, where he was 20 years owner,pub.
Usher and editor of weekly and daily
newspapers. He served one term in
the California assembly and two terms
as state senator, holding no other Office
until appointed consul at Tien Tsin by
President Mckinley. He married Effie
L. Hines, on February 8, 1870, at Char
iton, Iowa, and his wife and children,
three sons and one daughter, are with
him in China.
His vice consul is Sylvester G. Hill,
son of Colonel Sylvester G. Hill, of the
Thirty-fifth Iowa infantry. The vice
consul was born in Muscatine, Iowa,
in 1856, attended the Philadelphia
Dental college and is now a practicing
dentist in Tien Tsin.
Bertrand Ragsdale, eldest son of the
consul and United States marshal of
the Tien Tsin consular court, was born
at Osceola, Iowa, on January 8, 1871.
He was educated in the public schools
in Sonoma county, California, and was
appointed postmaster at Santa Rosa in
that state by President Harrison in
July, 1892. Young Ragsdale was re-.

that one of his arms was severely

example cited by M, Guillaume In
which inorganic matter shows sensi-
,tiveness is this: II bar OF steel bo

to break 1t there will appear at tho
point where rupture is going to take
place a 'constriction II the traction
! force be stopped before the rupture is
complete II can be shown that at this
point of impending rupture the metal
has become harder. From this 1t must
! be concluded that at the place where
the bar became too feeble the metal
hardened itself in order to resist Its
own destruction. This again, II 1t oc-
Cured in living matter, would be
classed by biologists as case OF pro-
tective modification. Although none
but the boldest minds would conclude
from these examples and experiments
that real continuity has been estab-
lished between the phenomena or In
organic matter and those OF the liv-
ing cell, yet NJ. Guillaume expresses q
hope that the bridge between the two
may some day be crossed. Besides
these instances mentioned by M. Gull
laume, several facts Of physics known
to engineers have bearing on the
theory. Lord Kelvin first called atten-
tion to the strange phenomenon OF the
fatigue of the metals. In a paper on
the Elasticity and Viscosity of Met
ials," read tn,rty-five years ago to the
Royal society of London, Lord Kelvin
remarked that when the students IN
the physical laboratory Of the Univer-
sity of Glasgow were performing ex-
periments on the elasticity of metals
some remarkable and interesting re-
suits were obtained which could only
be explained by supposing that the
elasticity of metals was subject to ia
tigue. In the case of muscular fatigue
rest is required not only to enable the
wasted tissues to get fresh material
from the blood and have the waste
material carried away but also to af-
ford an opportunity for the strained
molecules to recover, state OF re-
pose. In iron or steel which has been
strained a more rapid restoration of
the molecules to state of repose is
effected by heating to redness and cool
ing slowly. This process is termed
annealing, and Is regularly adopted to
take the fatigue out of chains the
strength of which has been taxed

Color photography has led French
scientists to doubt that matter is real
ly dead. The doubt would seem to be
at first sight an absurdity. when it is
considered that one Of the most usual
definitions of inorganic matter states
1t to be that which is deprived of life.
in a recent number OF the Archives
des Sciences Physiques ct Naturel-
les NJ. Guillaume tries to show in an
article entitled La Vie de la Ma
tiere." that what is usually regarded
as dead matter really possesses an
elementary form of life Of its own
closely resembling that form Of life
which is described by biologists and
which is usually regarded as the only
form of life possible to matter. He
shows that certain physiological proc
esses have their close parallels in GER
tain physical and chemical facts. The
power of adapting itself to external
conditions is usually regarded as Pc
culiar to living beings. and yet M.
Guillaume gives several instances in
which dead" matter shows power
Of adaptation to impressed forces. His
most striking instance is taken from
the Becquerel process Of color photog-
raphy. If the gray iodide or chloride
of silver is exposed for a short time,
say. to red light, 1t becomes red. If
1t is theh exposed, say, to green light,
1t changes its tint, and passing through
several phases of dull colors, ends by
becoming uniformly green. What is
most remarkable about these chame-
leonlike changes is that they take
place in order to prevent the silver salt
from being decomposed by the light
