COAL AND IRON.
Mineral Resources OF the Chinese Empire
Are Great.

Mineral Resources OF the Chinese Empire
Are Grent.
The mining and metallurgical sec
ton Of the Franklin Institute held a
stated meeting in Philadelphia recent
ly. The president, Joseph Richards,
was in the chair. Professor Lynwood
Garrison delivered the address of the
evening on THE Mineral Resources
of the Chinese Empire" The speaker
in opening gave a general survey of
the physical geography and geology
of this vast country, and then spoke
specifically of his personal observa-
tons made during recent profession
al visit to Northeastern China, calling
special attention to the fact that a
large part Of China is underlaid by
coal, much of which is anthracite of
this respect with the best of Pennsyl
vania anthracite. The extent of these
beds, however, far exceeds our own,
and, moreover, their location is such
that the extraction of the coal will be
comparatively easy matter. He ex-
pressed the belief that in a short time
China would enter the markets of the
world as a great coal producer. Pro-
fessor Garrison also alluded to the
great extent and accessibility of the
iron ore deposits and incidentally to
the fact that ore of antimony occurred
there in greater abundance than in
any other part of the world. Quick
silver deposits of unequaled richness,
he said, were likewise known in the
country. The speaker illustrated his
remarks with number of mineral
specimens and exhibited a series of
views showing the crude methods Of
mining employed by the natives. He
also showed a series of typical views
of Chinese scenery, including fortifica-
tons, harbors, public buildings, etc.

VALUABLE FINDS.
Bat Guano Caves In Southern Rev
Mexico.

Bat Guano Caves In Southern Few
Mexico.
Southern New Mexico is a land OF
natural curiosities, and one at least
of these has proved to have high
commercial value. A resident of that
district had the good fortune few
years ago to accidentally stumble upon
several bat caves, one Of which Is
stated to be some six miles in length.
and as he has shipped in the last two
years 1892, 240 pounds of phosphate or
guano from these caves, for which he
has received about $4S per ton, it can
be understood that the present and
prospective value of these caves is
considerable. 1t can be readily under
stood that bat guano possesses great
value as q fertilizer, and the value of
the caves is enhanced by the fact that
beneath the guano is a considerable
deposite of phosphate rock (the re-
mains of defunct bats), which, when
ground up and treated with phosphoric
acid, is highly priced as a fertilizer.
Since the discovery of these ancestral
homes Of the bats, in which they have
made their resting place for unnum-
ibered centuries, the search for more
such caves has continued intermittent
ly, and it is probable that many more
valuable finds of this nature will be
made; for the section of the country
in which they lie, is literally infested
with this obnoxious, but very lucra-
tive little creature. The caves which
IRE frequented by bats, are of lava
formation, and carry evidence of hay
ing been subject to violent volcanic ac-
ton. A remarkable bat trait is NEIL
toned which has the effect OF render
ing the caves of permanent value. 1t
seems that after the entire front of
had been torn down to within foot Or
so of the narrow openings through
which for centuries the bats have
come and gone, the little creatures
continued, and still continue, to fol-
low the ways of their ancestors. Fly
ing upward past the large openings,
they would squeeze in and out Of the
caves as of old. Since the first clean
ing out of one cave, seven tons Of
guano have been removed, all of which
had been deposited subsequently to the
first removal. 1t is estimated that
from the deposits which have already
been discovered, there has been taken
an annual crop of about 1900 tons OF
guano.

A Paris newspaper gives the weight
OF certain European sovereigns. In a
football lineup, Dom Carlos of Portu-
gal would be center. His towardness
or valor ought to be guaranteed by his
eng pounds. Ferdinand of Bulgaria,
LIT pounds, and Oscar Of Sweden, one
pound less, seem fitted for guards.
Kaiser Wilhelm's 160 pounds would
give him momentum and force as a
tackle. The car would scarcely make
the team except as quarterback, for
he weighs only 121 pounds. The little
King of Spain, SO pounds, is out of
the question, save to hold the sweater
Of player or to toss the coin for
choice of position. II monarchy could
tolerate the presence OF president Of
a republic for fullback, the head of the
French government, with his $50
pounds, would naturally be candidate.

Marriages in Hindostan are very
simple, and are usually arranged by
the parents Of the principals. When
an alliance is agreed upon, the bride
and groom are brought together, and
perhaps see each ethiier for the first
time. The bride playfully skips
toward the groom and seats herself
beside him. The priest ties a corner
of the brides veil to the groom's
shawl, and this simple proceeding
makes them man and wife.

The exertion required to make a
comma does not count with a writer,
and the time involved is inconsider-
able. Not to insert comma, however,
may lead to a large cost Of time, and
an altogether disproportionate amount
Of money. "A recent suit in an impor-
tant court was brought because the
omission of comma left the meaning
of document in doubt. The expense
which it entailed, which a stroke Of
the pen would have saved, shows that
economy in punctuation may be at
least first cousin to extravaganza.

The President usually issues his
Thanksgiving day proclamation just
before the November elections. In that
way he saves himself from the shafts
OF the jokers. Were it issued after
election, a Presidents attitude Of
thankfulness would be ascribed to his
own party's victory, If it had achieved
a victory. If defeated he would be ac-
cused OF "whistling to keep his cour-
age up"

TEMPLE OF CONFUCIUS.
IL Is sacred spot to the People of the
Chinese Empire.

II Is sacred spot to the People OF the
Chinese Empire.
The temple of Confucius at Chu
fouhsien is the Westminster abbey Of
China and the grave of that sacred
parsonage is the most noted spot in
the grounds. A sacred mound sur
mounts the remains of Confucius.
Near the mound is building erected
for the meditation of those who rem
der homage to the greatest Chinaman
who ever lived. Near by is a tree,
said to have been planted by Confu-
cius-or rather, the trunk of it, for 1t
Is dead. The tree is on circular
stand of stone and mortar, close by
huge table of stone that looks like
marble, having been polished by de-
voteee. The mound is only twelve
feet high. Before 1t is tablet bear
ing the name and at the foot Of the
tablet is the famous incense vase, says
the London Mail The inscription
reads: "Chih Sheng Hsien Shin
K'ung Tzu," which means the perfect
sage, the former teacher, the philoso-
pher K'ung. Near to the tomb Of
Confucius is that of his son, who died
four years before the Chinese seer; but
the tomb of his grandson attracts more
notice, because 1t is almost as grand
as that of Confucius. There are thou
sands of graves near the shrine Of
Confucius and the nearer they are
the better the lot of the departed, ac-
cording to the belief of the Chinese.
The keepers of the temple demand a

Here is a curious extract from the
court regulations of the Hofburg for
the year 1924 on the etiquette to be OBJ
served by officers when invited to the
royal table. The regulation begins by
stating that officers usually behave I'M
der such circumstances with great po-
likeness and good breeding, like true
and worthy cavaliers" but that the
emperor thinks 1t necessary to Issue
the following directions for the use of
inexperienced cadets:
Il. Officers should come to the palace
handsomely dressed and not enter the
room In half drunken state.
80. When they are at table, they
should not rock about on their chairs
nor sit back and stretch out their legs.
"3. They should not drink after each
mouthful, as by so doing they will very
soon get drunk. nor drink more than
half a glass at time, and before
drinking they should wipe their lips
and moustachios.
~. They should not put their hands
In the dishes nor throw bones under
the table.
80. They should not lick their fin
gers nor drink so brutally as to fall off
their chairs"

Literary Notes.

A very notable and timely project Is
begun In the October number OF Serb
ner's Magazine. There Is no factor In
the far East Of greater Importance than
Rus sia. and Just at this time the series OF
seven papers on "Russia of Today" by
Henry Norman, will attract the widest
attention. Mr.. Norman is well known
by his books on international politics
and travel among them 1.-THE Peoples
and Politics of the Far East" He has
travelled all over the world and is
acquainted with its most important
noiitical oersonages. This series Of
articles on Russia is founded on trip
taken recently especially for Scrioner's
Magazine, and it included journey over
the great Trans-Siberian Railroad, with
abundant opportunities to inspect the
life OF the people in Siberia.
In the October Review OF Reviews, the
editorial department entitled "The Pro-
xress of the World" contains an i'm
partial review of the Presidential cam.
paign down to its present stage, special
attention being given to the letters OF
acceptance of the several candidates.
Other topics edtorially treated In TINS
number are the Galveston calamity, the
coal.miners' strike, the pending elections
in England, and the problem of recon-
struction In China.
An article on "Our Immigrants .and
Ourselves" By X. Fl. Claghorn in the
October Atlantic, brings up the fact that
the line between immigrant and citizen
Ia really narrow one. The writer has
made special study Of the immigration
problem and believes Ia the possibility of
prompt Americanization OF foreigners.
One hundred years ago, in October,
1900, George Bancroft was born in
Worcester, Mass. The centennial will
be flttingly observed there this autumn,
with addresses by Senator Hoar and
others. George Bancroft was the-drst
important American historian OF the
present century; and the centennial OF
his birth makes timely and interesting
the article upon "The Homes and Haunts
Of George Bancroft" by Hon. Alfred 3.
Roe OF Worcester which appears In the
October number of the New England
magazine.
