when the facts become known, they

one piece Of information seems to be
found among the many contradictory
rumors and that Is that the powers
have finally agreed to suffer Japan 10
take the lead In the rescue work, and
that this country Is preparing for
campaign Of vast proportions and long
duration. In a short while Japan is ex-
gected 10 have an army Of 63O00 IN
China. This means. OF course, that the
compensation has been agreed on ana
this can be nothing less than a slice

the japanese may succeed In forcing

LOSSES BY FIRE.

The year Is one notable Tor losses by

given as glO3. 29S 800. as compared to
sos .699,75O for the corresponding six
months last year. and ijS,23l 100 for
the year ls9S
The subject Of losses by fire Is widely
commented on. Mr.. Boics. IN the July
Forum, makes some suggestions anent
the matter He draws the conclusion
that the almost perfect system of hre-
extinguishing conthvances are becom-
Ing inadequate, and that new provisions
must be made TO save the property now
consumed by fire every year. ut is
question" ne says, whether many OF
the improvements Of the nineteenth
century civilization have not more than
counterbalanced the advantages Of inn
proved construction, as regards the IRE
hazards Of large cities"
Mr.. Boies thinks however, that this
can be easily remedied, n common sense
is exercised and a few dollars are ju-
dlciously spent Amy city big enough

taInly important enough 70 maintain
an elevated fire service. With our
magnificent modern buildings towering
IN the afr as high as church steeples,
we must nnd something better than the

That is one suggestion. Another is
that and-plpes be attached 10 high
buildings and extending TO or above the

fire department engines can be connect

REVERENCE FOR ANCESTORS,

The Chicago Times-Herald quotes
authority for the observation that one
OF the great obstacles 10 an understand
ing between western nations and the
people OF China Is the attitude Of the
latter toward their ancestors. Lord
Salisbury recently said the Chinese are
not religious fanatics, but tolerant. and
II approached In the right way, would
offer no serious objection TO the mis-
slonary propaganda, lie specially eau
toned the missionaries not to deal
unwisely with the prevailing sentiment
toward ancestors.
Concerning this feature Of Chinese
belief Mr. CalQuhoun, author OF
"Chlna IN Transformation. declares
that the family idea is the fundamental
principle Of the national and private
NE OF China, and that 20 call IL idolatry
IS to beg the question. The authority Of
the ancestors, ne believes, Is the power
which keeps the nation together, and IN
every sense the ancestors are at one
with their posterty. They assist at
the family council and sanction its pro-
ceedlngs The author concludes that
this idea is too firmly rooted 10 be sue
cessfully attacked, and he advises all
foreigners who would cooperate with
the Chinese for their elevation TO
reckon with It and modify It by spirit
ual means instead OF provoking bitter
enmity by condemning II as a degraded
superstition.
Our Chicago contemporary also
quotes this from Carlyle:
