KIPLING PREDICTION.

/
When Rudyard Kipling was young he
wrote this: In the native town of Pc
nang, 1 found a large army of Chinese,
some of them sending block tin to singa-
pore, some driving fine carriages, others
| making Shoes chairs, clothes and every
other thing that large town desires.
They were the first army. corps on the
march of the Mongol The scouts are
at Calcutta, and flying column at Ran

horror of the Chinese-of their inhumape-
! ness and their inscrutabilit Certainly
/ the people of Penang are not nice; they
/ are even terrible TO behold. They work
| hard, which in this climate is manifest
| ly wicked, and their eyes are just Ike
| the eyes Of their own pet dragons. Our
Hindoo gods are passfble. some of them
| even jolly-witness our pot-bellied Ga
mesh; but what can you do with a peo-
pie who revel in D. T. monsters and
| crown their roof-ridges with flames of
! fire. or the waves OF the sea?
| They swarm everywhere, and wherever
three or four met there they eat things
/ without name-the insides Of ducks for
choice. This, again, is not natural, for
a man should eat Ike a man if ne works

couple of hours spent in Chinatown
| why the lower-caste Anglo-Saxon hates
| the Celestial. He frightened me, and so
1 could take no pleasure in looking at
his houses, at his wares, or at himself.
A Chinaman MUST have a secret So
! ciety Of some kind. He will carry them
with him as he will carry his opium and
his coffin.

Will collapse by proclamation" asked
a wise man of Penang.
mo, there will be a row."
What row? What sort of a row.
More troops, perhaps" explained the
wise man Of Penang, land perhaps some
| gunboats. But there will be row.
| Neither you nor I nor any one else will
| be able to put these things down. Every
! joss house will be the head of a secret
| society. What can one do? In the past
! the Government made some use of them
for tie detection of crime. Now, they
are too big and too important to be
treated in that way
Once more, can anything be done to a
people without nerves as without di-
gesticn, and, IL report speaks truly, with
! out morals?
There are three races who can work,
| but Their els only one that can swarm.
! These people work and spread. They
must have souls or they couldn't under
stand pretty things. They are better
artists than the Hindu. They pack close
and eat everything, and they can live
| on nothing.
They will overwhelm the world.
Neither at Penang, Singapore nor
| Hongkon have I seen single Chinaman
asleep while daylight lasted. Nor have
| seen twenty men who were obviously
| loafing. All were going to some definite
: end-if it were only like the cooIie on

Now, 1 understand why the civilized

to kill him. It would be quite right 10
! wipe the city of Canton off the face Of
the earth, and 10 exterminate all the peo-
pie who ran from the Smelling. The
Chinaman ought not to count. This peo-
pie ought to be killed off because they
are unlike any people I ever saw be-

The time Is coming when there will be

/ The finishing touches viii be completed
in the course of few days, and before
September TO- it will be brought out for
public exhibition. A trip through the
principal streets Of this city and Buffalo
will be made and the event will be
celebrated by a banquet in the evening.
The officers of the company are: Pres
ident, Charles F. Schell, Buffalo; vice.

da; assistant superintendent, Albert
Deschinger, Tenawanda
The inventor. Captain Perew. has been
working on this idea nearly ten years.
He is about fifty years DID, and has
and in South America.
In 1885, he made the first model of his
walking automatom. It was a wooden
figure about three feet in height, at
tached to = small cart When the cart
was pushed along by hand the legs of
the automatom We're set in motion, but
the mechanism was far from perfect
The inventors effort attracted attention,
however, and a number of local capital
lists formed a stock company for the pur-
pose of pushing the enterprise.
Another autOmatom, larger and better
put together than the first model, was
constructed. 1t was attached to a pom
derous carriage in which sat two men,
who propelled the vehicle by hand power.
The automatom walked, but its knee
action was ierky. After numerous eff
forts to improve the mechanism, Perew
gave up for a time, and his financial
hackers dropped out. In the fall of 1899
Charles A. Thomas Of Buffalo came to
Perew and offered to secure capital to
back him if he would go to work on the
automatom idea again. Perew accepted
the offer Of Mr.. Thomas, and the result
was that a stock company was organized
and the present remarkable automatom
produced after months of labor.
a reporter was invited to see the
great giant work.
Gracefully, naturally, with human-like
ease, the big, wooden and iron man lifted
one foot and took a step forward. The
other foot followed and then the first
foot swung forward again. Like a
soldier who has received the command,
Forward, march, the big automaton
walked away with a steady swinging
gait resembling that of a National
Guardsman on parade. Down the full
length of the large drill hall it strode
Reaching the farther end of the hail. it
gracefully turned and started back again
with the carriage rolling after it, This
was repeated four times.

and the motions OF the jaws and the
sound of a voice proceeding from his

opening bars of several choruses and
solos and was amazed to hear her not
only sing correctly the numbers but re-

gagged and made her first appearance in

On the third night the Lucia failed TO

curtain it was discovered that the under

CONSERVATION reigned until the happy
thought of the recruits memory dawned
upon Hirshfeld. she was summoned,
! ordered to discard her PEASANTS dress,
don the wig and costume Of Lucia and
return to the stage.
Miss Quinlan took her station beside
the piano, the director ran over the
music several times. the stage manager
gave her hasty directions and the curtain
was delayed while an impromptu re-
hearsal was given with the other prin-
ciples. Ten minutes later she walked
on the stage and not an auditor com
mented adversely upon the substitution.
Many incidents Of a similar character
have occurred during her connection with
the company. A notable one took place
during a revival Of "Mlgnon," with Nine,
