A returned sojourner in Corea tells
that lie asked native priest: '"Tell mo
why you people kneel down before q
stone, or piece of wood, or any mani
mate object, and pray to it? Why not
pray to God, as Christians do?" II
will explain" said the devout idolater.
Christians close their eyes and look
up without seeing anything as they
pray. The Coreans do not pray to tho
piece of stone or wood, as you imagine.
but to the same good God, and select
the inanimate object merely as an em-
blem. Instead of seeing nothing, they
gaze upon Gods handiwork, for God
made the stone."-N. Y. Sun.

Andrew Carnegie has accepted an in

will speak if he is able to leave his home,

commerce is to fit boys graduated from
it for positions above mere clerkshius
and give them practical information ir
relation to commercial affairs. The study
of modern languages, Spanish especially,
will have an important place in the cur
riculum.

who has just arrived in Bayonne, has
written to Mr.. Mareoni, inclosing dia-
grams of an improved tandem kite sys-
tenl for reaching a heign, of 5000 feet
with Major Baden PoWelIs system of
kites.
He thinks this system will enable Mar
conf to send messages at least 1000 miles,
because every increase in height has so
tar enormously increased the range of
kireless kilograms.
Should the receiving vessel, 1000 miles
Out t sea. also send up receiving wire

bf 3tts feet, MI. Eddy thinks he 1000 mile
limit would be more than doubled.

improved system of fastening radiating
tines to a main line, the sa4ety will be
greater than with one kite because if one
hite gives out the others will sustain the
apparatus.

port houses engaged in trade with China
to secure more liberal treatment for Chi
nese merchants and others visiting this

who is thoroughly familiar with the con-
ditons affecting the development of
American trade with the far East. in an
interview, said:
The humliating restrictions which the
Chinese exclusion act has placed on the
entry of Chinese merchants. travellers and
students into this country seem likely to
undo all the advantage which has been
gained through the friendly attitude of
our government during the recent nego-
tiations between the powers ana China.
BUT for the reopening of Chinese mar
kets and the resumption of the ordinary
currents of trade, beginning from this
year we should have had very serious
state of things in the great cotton indus
try of the United States. Half the cotton
mills of the South are absolutely depend

output of cloth. and in default of orders
from China nothing could prevent a de-
structive competition between New Eng
land and the South for possession of the
home market.
1t will not be long before our great iron
and steel Industries have as we'll defined
an interest in the Chinese markets as the
cotton industry already possesses. and
care should be taken not to prejudice our
Chinese customers against u.s..
