CHINESE ARMIES.
They Fail Owing TO Their Physical
and Mental Qualities.


In the Journal Of the United states
service Institution. Major A. Z. J.
CaVendish emphatically points out the
vices Of the Chinese military system.
Much Of the utter inemciency OF
China's Army, he thinks. is explained
Dy the native saying. do not use good
steel to make a nail. not take a good
man 70 make q soldier" which Is most
thoroughly acted up TO. The absence
OF nerves and the animal ferocity Of the
Chinalnan admirably adapted him for
the deliberate determination which
characterizes the suppression Of a re-
volt, but In real courage, the abnega-
ton Of self under danger, he IS woeful-
~ deficient; he viii do much for pay:
he viii fight when his rage IS reused.
but his passion, violent as a typhoon,
as quickly passes away. Major Caven-
dish thinks Il small wonder that the
Chinese troops refused to stand up to
the japanese when Of the hundreds Of
thousands who since 1862 had been
"drilled" with foreign weapons not one
in 10000 had been taught their proper
infantry, musketry and artillery prac-
tice Is limited generally to handling the
weapon, and instruction IN the use Of
rifles and field guns is not thought nee
essary; indeed, It is opposed.
It may be fairly doubted whether the
English Major has made out a good
case against the Chinese as lacking
fighting qualities. If the efforts of the
Government have all been against the
development of the warlilSe spirit. it is
not unnatural that the Chinese should
be poor warriors. Soldiers who are
taught to go into battle carrying fans,
as the Chinese did in the Japanese war,
cannot reasonably be counted on as
lacking courage. Major Cavendish has
too often seen the beneficial result of
discipline on apparently worthless ma
terial in the British Army not to adj
nit there is no telling to what de-
gree of military proficiency genera
ton or two of modern progressive gov
ernment might not bring the Chinese.

PRESSURE ON MILK.

New Way Of Shipment.

NSW way u OHtPluCUls
The destruction by pressure Of the
bacteria which cause milk to sour
promises to revolutionize the shipment
and handling Of milk. Recently the
Government has been applying enor-
nous hydraulic pressure to samples of
milk inclosed in collapsible tin tubes,
ploced in strong hollow steel cylinders,
the pressure ranging from 100 pounds
to 100 tons per square inch.
1t was found that at ordinary tenn
peratures milk subjected to pressure of
10 10 is tons for as many days was
sweet at the end of the test, while at
lower pressures the souring was not
delayed. Pressures of 80 tons applied
for one hour delayed souring for up
ward Of "A hours as compared with
check samples. Pressures of 20 to 95
tons for several minutes to one hour
kept milk sweet from two to seven
lays. When the temperature Of the
milk was raised to 40 or 40 degrees
Fahrenheit, low pressures gave better
results than corresponding pressures at
ordinary temperatures.
Up to the present time it has been

END OF ROGERS WORKS.
Paterson Locomotive Factory 4
Closed.

Especial to 'sThe Jersey City News."l
PATERSON, Dec. l, 1900.-Jacob S.
Rogers saw the end yesterday afternoon
of the one great business bearing his
family name-the Rogers Locomotive
Works in Paterson.
The works were closed with the ship
ment of two locomotives for the Govern
ment of Chilli. After they had been sent
away the few remaining workmen filed
sadly out of the premises. Mr.. Rogers
followed and the place was shut up.
Sixty-fve years of business thus ended.
The Rogers Locomotive Works were the
Oldest in the United States. Nearly six
thousand locomotives were built there,
and the product of recent years are in
use in all parts of the world.
Modern methods used in other plants
made it necessary for the Rogers Works
to buy new outfit of expensive machin-
cry, and Mr.. Rogers. who owned CON
trolling interest, decided to let the in
dustry die.
the people of Paterson were shocked
when the news was printed. An effoffrt
was made by leading citizens to buy the
works from Mr.. Rogers, who is a mil
honaire. His conditions, however, were
foo anarols

Light and Health.

NJ Trelat. a well known authority on
hygiene. recently gave it as his opinion
that the best light for the house is the
slanting light as opposed to the vtrtical
and the horizontal lights. According to
this view, the Lancet points out, houses
should be constructed to receive the rays
of light at an angle of thirty degrees
that is to say, from a place correspond
ing with the mid -heavens-and, in order
to obtain the light, houses should not be
higher than two-thirds of the width Of the
street. II the. street, for example, We're
thirty feet wide, the houses on tach side
Should not be higher than twenty feet.
The suggestion Is, of course. not to cut
down our houses but to widen our streets.
The best that money can buy should be your
