CHINESE AGRICULTURISTS,
They Can Teach Some Great Lessons to
the Farmers of Other Lands,

They Can Teach Some Great Lessons to
the Farmers of Other Lands.
China can teach the world some
great lessons in agriculture" said Mr.
+. V. Covile, chief botanist of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, to a cores
pendent Of the Boston Transcript. For
cereals cultivated on the headwaters Of
the Yangtse River at an elevation of
1900 feet above the level Of the sea
they grow wheat there In some places
at an altitude of 1900 feet, whereas in
this country very little can be raised
at an elevation Of 5000 feet, and that is
IN Arizona, Where it is very warm But
the real test of the ability Of the Chin
csc in this direction is afforded by
comparison of cereal elevations with
the timber line. They raise wheat with
in 1900 feet of the timber lire on the
plateau of Turkastan, while in Arizona
our timber line is 800 feet above the
wheat. A timber line furnishes a very
the Wcrld over, just as the sea does for
the measurement of the altitude. One
thousand feet below the timber line in
ARIZONA would mean substantial the
same temperature as / 900 feet below
the timber line in New England. And
so when we say that the Chinese raise
wheel within 1900 feet of that line, we

mean that they have developed a strain
which is far more resisting of cold and
drought than anything that we have
in Europe or North America. Their
civilization is SO much older than ours
that the gradual development of these
strains has been brought about, and we
could to advantage bring some OF them
into use here
We have now representative of the
department in the upper Yangtse, where
he went for the purpose OF gathering
specimens for introduction here. Moth
my has been heard of him for some
time and not a little anxiety is felt In
his behals.
Beside the wheat and other cereals
China is said to have considerable
advantage over us in orange culture.
The Yangtse valley produces delicious
orange, according to reports we have
received, in districts where the trees
are subjected to temperature 20 de-
grees below the freezing point. That
part of China on the bordefland of the
great Turkestan plateau Is also the
home of the peach, and it was from
Southwestern Asia that the modern
world secured this valuable fruit. They
have varieties there now quite differ
ent from any they grow in this coun-
try-not necessarily better-for the de-
Velopment has been along different
lines in the two hemispheres. Only
little while ago peach has been intro
duced from China into Florida, known
as the Peento, which is shaped like
tomato, very short from stem to pit.
1t has short, stout stone, and its fla
vor is delicious. II does not seem to
be a good shipping peach. and for that
reason seldom gets to the northern
market. Neither is it especially adapted
for canningi where the chief require
ment IS a certain tirmness. The sugar
used in canning takes the place of
many natural defects in flavor and
sweetness, which the fruit may have.
So the canning factories no not need
a peach of the type of the Peento, and
thus far its use has been confined to
the local markets, There are other va
rieties from China, however which may
be better adapted to the commercial
needs of this country and upon that
subject our agent in the Yangtse was
working when the recent dis
turbances broke out
Tt was from this plateau of Asia, |

THO BID SMITH GIRKS.

| There are two bad Smith girls who
are bringing disgrace on one of the most
prominent and most honored names in
the United States. And they are little
old and the other eight. They live In
Canton, Illinois, and they are so bad
that they have not only disturbed all
Canton, but their malefic influence has
even been felt by the United States gov
eminent. The postmaster of Canton
has complained of them to the United
States commissioner. That officer writes
to the federal district attorney: They
have been injecting tar and dirt into
the keyholes Of the letter-boxes, as well
as into the boxes, and smearing the
letters therein deposited. TIE boxes
thus affected are all in the northeastern
part of the town near where the pa
rents of the girls reside They are bad
children, and have made very bad work
for the carriers In my judgment the
tender years Of the children forbid pro-
ceedings.'
Here's a state Of things. The United
States government, which is handling
the Chinese trouble we'll, feels itself I'M
able to deal adequately with the two
bad Smith girls. We suggest that
Cabinet meeting be held with the idea
of making some arrangement to have
these two bad Smith girls properly
spanked. II this can't be done we don't
know what can be. The situation is in
teresting. 1t is also interesting to won
der what the two bad Smith girls, who
can bring the government Of great
country to standstill while they are
but seven and eight years old, will be
able to do when their power for mis-
chief is fully developed.

THE V4STfg IN TIE STEAM ENGINE

Some remarks made by Mr. Balfour
on the waste of coal due to the ineffi-
cheney of the steam engine have raised
q question in technical journals as to
whether gas engines are not to displace
steam engines. Ordinarily the steam
engine converts into useful power but 8
per cent. of the theoretical energy stored
in coal. In other words, according to
the Iron Age, we burn eleven tons of
coal to accomplish results which in the
ory ought to be secured by one ton.
Very superior engines may by good
jockeying be got to produce little bet
ter result, but as a rule 81 per cent. of
the power In the coal is wasted This,
Mr.. Balfour contends, Is a reproach to
inventors. The Age replies that the
caloric engine though Of limited utility.
does somewhat better than the steam
engine and the oil engine, so long as
oil is cheap compares favorably with
the engine supplied with steam produc-
ed by the burning Of coal. But neither
the caloric nor the oil engine is of prac
teal Importance. The case of the gas
engine, however is very different.
While the best steam engine wants from
two and five tenths to three pounds Of
coal per indicated horsepower, large
gas engines have been made that re-
quire but seventy-six hundredths Of
pound of coal per horsepower. Some
gas engines produce one horse power to
each nineteen cubic feet of gas consum-
ed. Though not fully developed, the
gas engine about doubles the power OBJ
tanned. AS the Age puts it's; THE gas
engine shows remarkable efficiency
and in it is found the promise of flu
ture coal economy which, in power gen.
ration, should give to one ton of coal
the present value of two tons burned in
evaporating water

1t is expected that the prices of meat
will be high this winter. The reasons
given are heavy foreign demand for
American meat products, due to wars
and to the increased popularity of the
output in distant countries, the marked

steady withdrawal from the business of

A servant was recently dismissed for
impertinence by a family in Kensing-
ton, England. After her departure a
bulky manuscript was found in her
room, which the head of the house had
the curiosity to read. To his amuse-
ment he found it to be a romance writ
ten by the girl, in which she figured as
the heroine, as the following summary
will show: "She left her hated serfdom
in Kensington according to the story,
went out to the Transvaal as a nurse
and professionally attended on a gallant
wounded general whom she practically
snatched from the Jaws Of death. When
Pretoria had fallen and Kruger had
been sent to St. Helena the grateful
general married his nurse and the pair
returned to England and took UP quar-
tiers in the husbands ancestral home.
After her return Mrs General happened
to pay a visit to the county workhouse
and, to her surprise and satisfaction,
she found as inmates her old master
and mistress in Kensington, who had
come down in the world. They implor
ed her help, but Mrs. General would
have none of them She could neither
forgive nor forget their treatmAnt of
her when she was their humble domes-
tic. So the pair died broken hearted
