Resources of China.

China is essentially an agricultural
country. Horticulture is a favorte
pursuit and fruit trees are grown in
great variety. Sweet barley, maize
and millet and other cereals, with peas
and beans, are chiefly cultivated in
the north and rice n the south Su-
gar, indigo and cotton are cultivated
in the southern provinces, and opium
is a crop of considerable Importance.
Tea is cultivated in the west and
south. The culture of silk Is equal in
importance 10 that of tea. The null
berry tree grows everywhere. There
are cotton mills at Shanghai and silk
is wound from cOcOons in Shanghai,
Canton and elsewhere. All Cf the
eighteen provinces contain coal, and
China may be regarded us one Of the
first coal countries of the world Iron
ores are abundant ana copper is plen-
tlful in certain districts. The CONNER
cial intercourse Of China is quite con-
siderable, trade being carried on with
the principal countries of the world,
including the United Kingdom Ger
many France, Russia and the United
States. The great source of revenue
for the provinces is the duty on goods
coming overland from the adjacent
provinces. es.-Sclentific American.

of meat, or a dead pigeon is thrown to

The falconer is constantly with his
hawks, handling them and disslpating
their natural fear Of man, and every
effort is made to get them accustomed
to the presence of strangers. This is
called manning" n hawk.
Finally the education Of the hawk
is so far advanced that she is tried

Extracted From the Oceans and Rolled

The London Daily Express says:
Roughly speaking, if you take the salt
out of sea water you deprive it of a
thirtleth of its weight On this basis
one-thirticth of the entire weight of
all the sea water in the world is salt,
and as salt and water bulk about the
same we may estimate also that by
bulk, one-thirtieth of the huge mass
Of the oceans is pure salt What does
this bring us to?
Taking the 1870 odd million square
miles of the five oceans to average a
mile and a half deep, we have in them
alone 200 million cubic miles Of salt
water. A thirtieth of this should give
us the bulk Of the salt contained in the
great waters Of the globe
Rounding the figures we get some
thing like seven million cubic miles Of
salt If 1t were all taken out and
spread over the surface of the six con-
tinents they would be covered with it's
snowy powder to a depth of twice the
height Of St. Pau's. To put 1t another
way, if ell the earth were salt water
there would be enough of the havoring
principle in it to make two moons of
solid salt but very little smaller than
our present satellite.

this she will feel her strength and

when the young hawks are flying free
is that they may be shot by some
gamekeeper who takes the bird for

happy ending, bells are attached to
the hawks legs which, by their warn

and she is taken up and hooded again.
When several hawks are taken out for
field work they are carried on a wood
en- frame called a "Cadge" until the
falcOner gets ready to fly them. A
falconer after a successful day will
bring back home a bag Of pheasants,
hares, rabbits, quails, partridges, etc,
which will repay him for the trouble
he has had in training his falcons, even
If the sport itself did not-which 1t
does.
In North Africa falconry has been
for vast number Of years a favorite
sport Ancient Egyptian carvings
seem to show that it existed in the
days Of the Pharoahs At this day
the Bedouins fly their falcons and 90

Of Tunis and Trpoll on their fleet

as a sport into Europe has been so
successful that international meetings
are now held. In a recent contest Of
falcons at Spa, Belgium, several prizes
were taken by the hawks belonging to
G. e. Radcliffe, an Englishman, who
devoted much time to the sport. His
hawks are especially well trained, and
were much admired at the meeting I'm

an open country around his home at
Wareham, in Dorset so that when

conry. Falcons are found in almost

qulring judgment and patience. Their
education begins when they are nearly
ready to fly. The young hawks are
brought to their future home and
turned loose in a shed open in front,
but rooted in against bad weather and
with sides and a back to it. Blocks
of wood are pegged into the ground.
These blocks serve the birds for rOosts
and for dining tables. On these blocks
the falconer places the food for the
young birds, consisting of fresh meat,
dead rabbits or birds. The hawks
soon learn to fly and in a short time
can be seen soaring above their home
and swooplng over the surrounding
country. Although before long they
can fly many miles they always re-

is the most "swagger' of all
sports just now, but the noble and an
clent sport of falconry After being
n sport which was in England more
popular even than fox hunting, fal-
conry died out and was forgotten. Now
1t has been revived again, and before
long it may cross the ocean and we
may have the hen yards Of Long ISL

hawks. But no kestrels, and you would
be Of true and good form, for by the
laws passed by William the Conquer
or, Edward ILL.,, Henry VIII. and good
Queen Bess, the kestrel Is the hawk
assigned by law to a knave or servant,
while to royalty belonged the jerfal-
con, to the nobility the peregrine to
the yeOman the gOshawk and to a
priest the sparrow hawk. In England
now most falconeTs hunt with the
peregrine, always popular hawk
there, and one which is getting more
and more rare along the British coast.
1t builds its nest in some almost in
accessible niche of a rocky cliff, and
an expert and bold climber is required
to scale the eyrie and take the young
for training. If hawking becomes pop
nlar in this country it viii be rather

section of the weather bureau has is
sued the following statement of crop
conditions over tire state:
The week ending Monday morning
was warmer than usual, the daily ex-
cess of temperature ranging from
to 8 degrees. During the last three
days the heat was intensified by high
southerly winds and 100 per cent of
sunshine, causing very rapid evapora
ton of the moisture supplied by the
showers of the early part of the week.
In portions of the northwest and west
central districts rain is much needed.
The conditions have been generally
favorable for planting corn, and in
the southern and central sections that
work is nearly completed, under very
favorable conditions for rapid germi
nation. In the northern section plant
ing is we'll advanced and Il few days
of dry weather will be sufficient to
finish it. Reports indicate that germi-
nation has been fairly good in early
planted fields, and in numerous locali-
ties cultivation is in progress. On the
whole Avery large corn acreage is
likely to be planted somewhat in adj
vance of the average season.
Oats, spring wheat, barley and
grass are doing notably well in near
ly all parts of the state. Fruit pros
poets continue to be good, and injury
from frosts has been very light.
