Force of 1000 En- Route to Be Diverted
to Manila.
No more United States troops are to
be sent to China unless future develop
ments necessitate such action. Even
those now on the way or under orders for
service in China are to be diverted from
their destination and sent to Manila.
Such is the order promulgated by the
War Department Thursday. 1t. marks,
says a Washington correspondent, as far
as the United States is concerned, the
close Of military activity in China, un-
less an unexpected crisis arises. Having
secured it's principal aim-the rescue Of
Minister Conger and other Americans at
Pekin-the Government, in order to oh
tain it's other demands, will, s% far as
possible, substitute diplomacy for force
Of arms.
China will now be asked by the United
States to insure to her these three desid-
erata:
l. Restoration of order throughout the
empire.
2. Securing for the future safety for
American missionaries and protection for
American commercial interests.
8. Indemnity for the outrages suffered

RIOT RIFE IN PEklN.
Fire, Fighting and Dissension Mark
Rule of the Allies.

Fires, fighting and dissension are APP
parently following in the wake of the re-
lief of Pekin The London Daily Mail
publishes dispatches from the Chmese
capital declaring that great tire was
raging in the imperial city. The Rus-
sian commander had declined to accept
the decision of the other generals not to
violate the imperial precincts, and street
fighting was going on.
Gen. Chaffee so it is asserted, main
tanned that the Chinese had been ade-
quately punished already, and that it
would be unwise to take the imperial
palace. This explains the withdrawal of
the Americans after preaching three
gates, as cabled by the correspondent of
the Associated Press. The Russian gen
eral maintained that his Government had
declared war against China, and that
therefore there was no reason to prevent
him carrying hostilities into the sacred
precincts. The fires appear to be lncen-
diary and to be caused by the Chinese
themselves.
A report from ST. Petersburg says the
japanese legation there has received a
dispatch from Pekin with the news that
the legationers are all liberated, but that
the allied forces are powerless to quench
the terrible fire which is making great
inroads in a thickly built portion of the
city. The soldiers are too fatigued to
master the disastrous flames, which are
threatening the whole of the capital. The
leaders of the rebels, Prince Tuan and
others, are still in the city, but too Sc
curely concealed to be found, although
they are being carefully sought. The
Dowager Empress has fled in an I'M
known direction.
A report from Pekin says that Gen.
Linevitch has been given full authority
to guard and defend the city. Fierce
fighting is also said to be still going on
inside the walls. Gen. Linevitch's ST.
berian army corps has become practical
ly imperative on account of the warm
weather.
All the dispatches point to the fact that
the commanders were somewhat at sea
regarding their future action, all await
ing instructions from their governments.

The Power in a Pound Of Coal
E. D. Meier in Casters Magazine.

+. d. Meier In Casters Magazine.
Let us take a pound of what we call
average coal, containing, say, 10000 heat
units. This would be somewhat smaller
in size than man s fist A pound Of this
coal, if expended in mechanical work,
would give us 236 horse power. Imagine
at the time of the Pharaohs two long lines
Of men, extending over half mile, all
pulling steadily, at the command of the
task master, at great rope to raise some
huge obelisk, and as you see them sweat
ing, tugging and straining, think again of
this small lump of coal in which nature
has placed an equal amount of power. In
some countries men who have been spe-
cially trained as porters, to carry heavy
loads on their backs, will, as full day 5
work, carry total of from $50 to 600
pounds distance of mile. And yet each
has expended but one-third of the power
stored up in this pound of coal
An exceptionally strong man has been
known to do one-half horse power of work
as his mightiest effort; but in two and a
half minutes work at this rate exhausts his
muscular force. Let us suppose 100
such men putting forth such extreme
effort at rope, or crank, or crow
bar; as they fall back, red faced and puff
ing, to catch their breaths, we might imag-
inc this little black lump Saying TO them ::
81 can do as much as your whole company,
and then can stand it for fully two min
utes longer before am exhausted T.
Let us now turn to another portion of
the human race. From the earliest times
spinning has been much priced accom-
plishment of the fair sex. We need look
back only to our own grandmothers. We
can picture them, from their own stories,
told MS when we were children, as rosy
checked damsels sitting around the open
fireplace and spinning from early candle
light till bedtime, let us say possibly two
hours. Let us then consider for moment
the thousands of spindles rafting and
whirling in modern cotton factory, i'm
PEELED by the power locked up in coal.
One pound d this coal carries the poten-
tial energy to do the work of 5000 such
spinsters.
In sdwing wood, man may work at
the rate of about 60 strokes minute and
consider himself a 'stop sawyer, and his
saw blade may have progressed five feet
a minute; but circular saw, driven by
machinery, may be put through 20 times
that distance and saw 20 times as much
wood And yet this one little pound Of
coal contains power enough for $50 such
saws.

Those who purchase fruit trees and vines
should read their contracts with the sales
men very carefully. 1t is well known that
some contracts are so worded as to permit
of the substitution of other varieties 'sjust
as good if the kinds wanted cannot be
supplied, the consequence being that it is
rare to get the preferred varieties, espec-
tally of peaches, the trees seldom produc-
ing fruit according to the name of the va
rieties tagged on them when received.
Of course, some seedsmen are very care
full, but the buyer should never agree in
writing to substitution.

Saturday Night.

There is a restful sound about the men
ton of Saturday night.
To the rich man who Tolls about all the
week trying to make the slow hours pass
some how, it may mean much; but to the
man, woman or child who works ten hours
a day for six days out of seven it has a
significance 1t means rest.
1t means going to bed without setting
the alarm clock 50 it will ring out and get
the house astir at five o clock.
To the busy toilers in our factories and
work shops, Saturday night comes as a
blessed relief-a break in weary mono
tony.
The loose ends of the week work are
gathered up. The housewife sets the
goodly array of eatables in the cupboard,
and thinks Tomorrow l will rest.
She draws her basket of mending to-
ward her with inward satisfaction, and
darns the stockings and sews on the but
tons with sense of relief. She will rest
tomorrow
The children will put away their toys
and their school books, and gather round
the fire to read the weekly papers and look
at the pictures.
Saturday night No more work for
thirty-six hours Thirty six hours of
sixty minutes each
No more money making, no fretting, no
business cares, no trying to make books
lol.,oo oo.b;no, h,f root
The husband is tired, he has worked
hard
He has earned the rest which is coming.
He puts on a clean shirt, combs his wet
locks, and sits down to the supper which
labor has given him the right to eat with
out killing him with indigestion
And the way the viands disappear Is
sight to make dyspeptic howl with envy.
On Saturday night our friends drop in
and talk over the news, and tell us what
is in the papers and compare notes on the
weather, and give us detailed history OF
the way Aunt Maria had the tOothache
and what the dentist said, and how Uncle
John had an attack of influenza, and what
cured him.
And we urge them to stay longer, for
it is Saturday night, we tell them; and we
walk down to the gate with them, remark
ing on the beauty of the night, and won
der if it will rain tomorrow.
And we go bed, tired but happy, and
reflect that we can lie in bed till we really
have rested, for tomorrow is Sunday, and
| Sunday is the day of rest.
