Chinese Method of Measuring.


Many travellers returning from China
have commented upon the apparently
singular lack of knowledge Of the dis
tances across their country or between
their towns that exists among the Chi
nesc If at one town you inquire the
III, ~lcc to the next, you may be told
that it is 20 Ii (one-thlrd of mile), but
upon arriving at the town you will be
surprised to find the distance back to
the town from which you have just
come is n Ii and that the cost Of jour
neying back again is CORRESPONDENCE
greater than the cost to go to 1t.
The Chinese measure distance not by
rule, but by the amount of physical en-
ergy required to traverse them. Their
wage is based on unit Of energy, the
amount that it takes them to carry a
given load, one picul one II, on level
ground. If the road from A to B Is
down hill, the distance Is regarded as
less than the actual linear distance be-
cause it is supposed to take less energy
to travel in that direction, or, as the
Chinese say, 1.-The Ii are short" 1t nat
urally follows that in travelling in the
other direction. from B back to A, the
road being gradual ascent, greater
expenditure of energy is necessary.
1.-THE Ii are long," and in order to get a
fair compensation for their work the
carriers must see that the distance and
the charges are correspondingly in.
creased. With this explanation what
has often appeared as vagary Of the
Chinese becomes simple and reasona.

"A German doctor has been invest.
eating the question of beds, and the re.
suit of his labors has been lately given
to the world in the pages of German
journal. In the first place, to convince
mankind of the importance Of his sub
Ject, the doctor reminds all mankind
that we spend from one-fourth to one
third of our liyes in bed, after which
he proceeds to advise the world on the
healthiest kind Of couch and the most
sensible manner of reposing thereon.
A hard bed appears to be the best,
and 1t Is laid down that children from
the earliest years should he trained to
sleep on these hard beds. Soft beds
are too warm and do not admit suffi-
cient air. Even in the case of the hard
bed the sleeper Is warned to see that
his covering, whether wooden or cotton,
is not SO heavy that the body is kept
overwarm and fresh air Is excluded.
This ventilation, according to our au-
thority, is all important But what
will middle aged people say when the
man of science bids them dispense
with their pillows? Pillows, he de-
clares, are evils, and 1t is right that we
should sleep with limbs uncramped on
perfectly horizontal plane. Knowing
the weakness of human flesh, however,
the doctor declares that If pillows are
retained they should be neither too soft
nor too thick.
A point on which most people will
agree with this authority is the neces.
sity for constant the doctor asks for
daily airing and summing of the bed.

ANOTHER
BIG RAID
Fearing Trouble

Shortly before 2 o'clock this morning
a posse of police headed by Deputy
Sheriff Chiliingworth raided noto-
rious gambling den on the Asylum
road.
1t had been reported the night before
that a big poker game was being oper-
ated, and that the joint was filled with
sailors who had loaded up on swipes
and boosted that the police had better
not come near the place.
The first attempt to approach the
house was rendered futile owing to
the presence of savage dogs. Better
luck attended the next effort, how
ever, and when the police burst into
the room, nine players were caught
red-handed. placed under arrest and
a sum of money secured for evidence.
The majority of the players had evil
IDENTIFY departed, and those who remain
ed were much to the worse for liquor.
The room showed many signs that a
drunken orgie had been in progress.
Gin bottles were scattered literally
around, as were drunken sailors.
The crowd was marched to the po-
lice station, arriving there about 2:4O
a. m. The men arrested were nearly
all sailors on the Island boats
