RACE FOR CHINESE MARKET.
The Great Advantage to Shippers of
Being Near the Princi-
pal Points.

Tt would be tedious to explain at
length how it has come about that the
British shipper finds it a positive disad-
vantage to be 1900 miles nearer the
Chinese market than his chief com
petitors, says John Foord, the secre-
tary of the American Asiatic associa-
ton in Frank Lesiie's Popular Monthly.
It may suffice to say that the regulat-
ing influence of the Pacific routes has
had something to do with this appar-
emit anomaly. The distance from New
York to Shanghai. by way of San Fran
cisco is only 1920 miles, or 2.44O miles
less than that by way of Suez. tits need
less to say that over the portion
of this which is continental, there
can be no effective competition with
ocean rates of transportation. The
full rate between New York and Shang-
hal, by way of Suez, would not be SUI
fcient to carry freight overland from
New York to San Francisco. But mer-
chandise destined for China does not
come to New York, unless for some suf-
fcient reason, and when a great trans
continental system is ready to collect
it at all points of production nearer
the Pacific port and to make very mod
crate rates on it by pro-rating with Pa
cific steamship lines, the eastern route
must meet the cut or lose the traffic.
As matter of actual experience. the
ships travelling the eastern route find
no difficulty in undertaking their rivals
on the Pacific, and unless where time
is an important element, or the freight
is especially valuable, very few goods
manufactured on this side Of the con
tinent find their way to a Pacific port
for shipment to China or japan.

per gross. Packing IS figured at about
three per cent, as the masks are rolled
in brown paper, the ends being folded
in to save string. The expenses are es-
timated at about Is per cent, leaving
the net profit 20 to % per cent, as the
complete article sells at present at
about 43 cents per gross. Last year the
masks sold for about one-third of a
cent each, and next years price is ex-
pected to be 43 cents per gross.
The cost of raw paper next year, it
is estimated, will be higher, and there
will be an increase in the cost of paint
ing. The hair used for mustaches, etc.,
cost last year IS to II cents per pound,
but this year 10 cents is paid. Manu-
facturers have no trouble in getting
good prices, and are making handsome
profits. These calculations are on the
cheapest staple goods; on specialties
the gain is more.
Wire masks are made by stamping a
piece of wire netting about one foot
square over a face mold in a large ma
chine, inc1osing the rough wire edges
in a narrow strip of lead, and painting.
The latter is done by hand in oil colors.

HOW MASKS ARE MADE.
Interesting Particulars of Thriving
Industry In SOuneberS,
Germany.

Paper masks are made by doubling
one sheet of a specially prepared pa
per, wetting it and molding it by hand
over a face form; it is then dried by ar
tifcia1 heat. Openings are cut for eyes,
nose and mouth, and it is painted and
decorated by hand as desired, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The paper used by manufacturers at
Sonneberg, Germany, where this is al
most the only industry, is made in
Oes1au and Schleusingen, and costs at
present about 80 cents per $50 sheets.
One sheet makes three of the common
masks. The painting of cheap masks
costs about IL cents per gross, the
molding of face costs about cents

STRUGGLING YOUNG AUTHOR.
He Finds That About Twenty to one
Is the Prevailing Ratio OF HUI
NOR and Wisdom.

While have not yet in any great
measure succeeded in persuading pub
fishers of the desira bleness of my
productions said the struggling
young author, according to the New
York Sun, 81 have, through my ex-
periences with them, come to some
conclusions regarding the marketable
ity of literary matter.
Il should say, for instance, that the
demand for humor exceeds that for
wisdom by about twenty to one, which
would make the value of a vein of
humor in a man as compared with one
of wisdom about as the value of gold
is to that of silver, with something
over-the mint value I mean. Peo-
pie desire not so much to be instruct
ed as to be amused.
SIN fact, L think that most men
have wisdom enough of their own and
to spare, inbDrn or born of their ex-
periences. There are, perhaps, few
men who do not consider that they
are capable of instructing the world
themselves; and so wisdom becomes,
as one might say, a drug in the mar
ket. And yet here have L been trying
to make the market take wisdom
from me! Futile effort, unless [ have
been able TO put out some particularly
hot and sslw-toothed brand, which I
do not appear to have been able to do.
Which is to say that the wisdom I
have been trying to force on an al
ready overlooked market may not
even have been up to the standard
quality! Ca FRYING Goals to Newcastle,
carrying wood to the forests!
'But now L have learned out of my
experience sufficient of real wisdom
so that L shall, at least, no longer. try
to force people to buy something that
they don't want. In other words, I
shall waste no more time in that di-
rection. I shall open up some other
vein.

HEALTEEFUL on FOUNTAINS.
The AIr of High Attitudes Contain
No Microbes and Is
Sterile.

It is well known that the chemical
composition of the atmosphere differs
but little, if at all, wherever the sample
be taken; whether it be on the high
Alps or at the surface of the sea, the
relation of oxygen to nitrogen and
other constituents is the same, says the
London Lancet. The favorable effects.
therefore, of a change of air are not to
be explained by any difference in the
proportion of its gaseous constituents.
One important difference, however, is
the meteorological one. The air of
high attitudes contains no microbes,
and is, in fact, sterile, while near the
ground and some 100 feet above it mi
crobes are abundant. In the air of
towns and crowded places not only
does the microbic impurity increase,
but other impurities, such as the prod
ucts of combustion of coal, accrue also.
Several Investigators have found traces
of hydrogen and certain hydrocarbons
in the air, and especially in the air of
pine, oak and birch forests. 1t is to
these bodies, doubtless consisting of
traces of essential oils, to which the
curative effects of certain health re-
sorts are ascribed. Thus the locality
Of fir forest is said to give relief in
diseases of the respiratory tract. But
all the same, these traces of essential
oils and aromatic products must be
counted, strictly speaking, as impure
ties, since they are not apparently nee
essary constituents of the air. AS re-
cent analyses have shown, these bodies
tend to disappear in the air as a higher
altitude is reached, until they disap-
pear altogether. 1t would seem, there
fore, that microbes, hydrocarbons and
entities other than oxygen and nitro
gen, and perhaps we should add argon.
are only incidental to the neighborhood
of human industry, animal life, damp
and vegetation.
