they We're discourteous i'll gathering about
the door to watch strangers eat. They
talked together few moments and then
asking how far it was to my honorable
country they quietly withdrew. and We
closed the door and fastened it by prop
ping stool against it, a very common
method of looking up for the night in
Chinese inn.
During this journey we visited num-
her of Chinese houses, and in every one,
without a single exception, we found two
western inventions-clocks and kerosene
lamps, at least two OF each. The clocks
cid not keep time, being evidently for or
nament and not for use. In two places
we saw the advertisement of American
patent medicines tackled on the wall among
Chinese notices from Confucius, and IN
one house a small sewing machine. So,
even in the remote interior of China, West
ern ideas are penetrating, and Western
inventions are being utilized.

conclusion that primitive man probably
arrived at the idea of the sled from seeing
trees slip and slide down the mountains.
In Madeira, for instance, where there is
never any snow, sleds drawn by oxen are
used just as they are in the Philippines.
1t is a development from the idea of a
man dragging a burden along the ground,
when it was too heavy for him to lift it up
aud carry ii. He al first hitched his dog
to the deer that he had just killed and
both dragged it toward the cave or hut in
which they lived. When he saw the logs
slide down the mountain side the idea OF
using smooth logs that would slide over
The ground easily when drawn by himself
or one of his animals was the next step
in the development Of the sled.
- Primitive peoples like the Malays of the
Philippines and the unprogressive peas
ants of Madeira still use the sleds invent
ed by their ancestors thousands of years
ago.
