The curious part of the Chinese te.e-
graph system is the fact that, even in
the interior, where there are no foreign
ers. all the telegraph blanks are printed
in English. The Chinese language, be-
ing Geographic. having character for
each. word, 1t is impossible to transmit
it by the ordinary Morse signals. 1t Is.
therefore, necessary to telegraph either
in a foreign language or by using Ara
bic numerals. BY the latter method q

THE APRICOT CsrrEas.
A Striking Scene I'm a CALIFORNIA;
Fruit Valley.

"A
Fruit valley.
There is an upland valley in California
where at a certain season of the year the
bare ground is golden as far as the eye
can sea blaze of yellow and tawny col
or, like that of a vast field OF poppies.
But this yellow carpet is composed not
of flowers, but of apricots drying The
valley, which Is so high in the mountains
and so bare that almost no dew falls
there, is the focus of the apricot harvest
ers for score Of miles about. For all
but a few weeks during the year the
place is lonely and quiet. Then of sud-
den a small army invades tia polygiot
crew of laborers, Mexicans, Swedes, Chi
nese. A village of tents and huts springs
up. Flat cars run all day up and down
the mountain, bringing the ripe apricots.
And these aresslid on trays into the long
sheds where the people stand at work
men, women and children, each with
tag bearing a number about the neck,
and a sharp knife in the hand. A single
turn of this knife by practical hand
halves the apricot and drop the stone on
the ground, while the fruit falls into
second tray. When this Is filled 1t Is Slid

workman's credit and set on the ground
to help fill up another of the endless rows.
= If it is hot out there where the indigo
sky burns in fierce rivalry of color with
the spreading orange, it is hotter In the
sheds, and the smell of the apricots and
of the piles of stones Is overpowering.
The workpeople wear as few clothes as
allowed; their necks are. bare and their
sleeves rolled to the shoulder. The white,
thick-muscled arm Of a Scandinavian la
borer moves in unison with the thin,
swarthy, hairy arm Of the Mexican next
him; next is an arm shrunk to yellow
skin and bone, tattooed, with a green
jade bracelet sliding up and down 1t. 1t
