almost to their sources. In the western high
lands, flow down to the sea which washes a
coast unmatched for the attrac tiveness and
convenience of its numerous harbors. The
province was anciently called Min. after its
famous river which still bears that name,
but its magnificent location and its many
peculiar advantages became so noted that
Its ancient name was abandoned while the
natives gave 1t the more expressive and
better descriptive title Of Fukien fThe
Happy Establishment.
Character of the People.
Fukien ts an empire in itself, and cut
off as it is by the mountain range which
surrounds it, there is no other province in
China which could detach itself from the
empire with so little disturbance either
to itself or it's surrounding territory. 1t
covers an area but little larger that the
state of Ohio, but has a population of some
twenty-five million. The people speak q
dialect peculiar to themselves and have
marked charact eriStiCS which distinguish
them from other Chinese with whom in
fact they have often been at war. To this
day deadly feud exists between them
and the Hantse, who occupy the north
western slope of the great mountain range
that divides them. Frequent raids, plum
dering and punitive, are even now made
over the mountains into each others ter
ritOry.
The Fukienese are hardy and vigorous
race. For hundreds of years they have
been noted as merchants ana sea going
men. Their ports Annoy, Chin Chow and
Foochow We're great empOria, celebrated
throughout the east over 1900 years ago.
f'ukien occupies that part Of the Chinese
mainland nearest to our island possession
in the Philippines.
The people of the province have been
peculiar for the absence of that intense
antf-foreign spirit which has marked the
Chinese of the great interior provinces.
Certainly the prejudice against foreign re-
liglon has been less strong in Fukten than
In any other province of China for in it's
borders are found two-thirds OF all Pro-
testant Christian converts in the whole
empire OF China. From the Chinese point
of view, seeing the United States taking
a prominent part in. oriental world politics
and establishing its flag IN the far east, it
would seem that the reasons for the an
neXation of Fukien We're far more potent
now than ever before. 1t would surprise
no man familiar with the affairs of the
province. should that vermilion petition

Salt Water Fish,
From Field and Stream.

The number of species Of fishes living
hsbitually in the salt waters Of the world
can only be approximately estimated, prob
ably about ten thousand. Those classed as
''shore fishes live, as rule, close to the
surface and near the land, and are well
known to the salt water angler in his out
ings as the weakfish, striped bass, kingfish
ETC. OF the shore fishes there are about four
thousand species. The ''pelagic fishes" or
those which inhabit the upper waters Of the
seas, are relatively few in number The
"deep-sea fishes" which live in depths
varying from two hundred to twenty-five
hundred fathoms, cannot be even approx
mately estimated, new species are be-
ing constantly discovered.

Takes Real Genius to Initiate.

There are artists working for this firm
especially the painters-wllo unite real ge-
MUS to astonishing intelligence and deft-
ness Of hand. The world has not appre-
ciated their proper works; therefore they
find consolation and cruel delight In de-
ceiving the world by way Of revenge. Even
exaggerating their successful trickery, they
brag about the frauds they have palmed
off on the learned. How these latter are
always liable to be deceived by the stopping
over of their erudition is illustrated by the
celebrated case of the little porcelain pot
found in the ground in Amiens a few years
ago and marked with the four capital let
tiers M j. d. D." After research, the sa-
wants agreed that it must be a Gallo-Ro-
man antiquity, the letters standing for
"Magno Jovi, Decorum Deo"-'To Great
Jupiter God of Gods" But later investi-
cations show that it meant "Moutarde
jaime De Dijon'-'sYellow Dion Mustard"
found so marked In Paris grocery shops.
Is 1t not natural that the young woman
should now consider herself an expert, not
only in bogus, but In true works Of art?
She has seen the inside Of Paris counter
feiting, and she has had whispered into her
rosy ear-perhaps not unaccompanied by
tenderer declarations-many secrets of a
trade that hides itself from public view
What the young traveller in bogus art
thinks about American girls, their silly, in
nocent ways and the inscrutable depths Of
their fraudulent little hearts, Is another
question. She is back In America, sur

Fukien is one Of the richest provinces in
China, and would be one Of the most eagerly
sought In case of partition. 1t lies on the
southeastern coast of China, opposite the
Island of Formosa. Along it's northern and
western borders runs high range Of noun
tains which literally cuts this province out
from the rest Of the Chinese empire. From
this great range down toward the coast
reach out ranges Of minor hills which give
to the province an agreeable diversity OF
scenery that has been compared to that of
our state Of Maine. Between these hills

FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE
William Alexander Being Tried for
Murder the Second Time.

The Government practically closed its
testimony yesterday in the case of VIII
liam NJ Alexander, who is on trial in
Criminal Court No. l, charged with the
murder of Matthew Snow. Possibly one
more witness will be called this morning
on behalf of the prosecution before the
testimony for the defence is begun.
The story of the circumstances told by
the witnesses for the Government yester-
day was substantially the same as that
told at the former trial. II was stated
that on the night of the trouble between
Alexander and Snow, which resulted in
the death of the latter, that Alexander
went into Marble Hall Alley about p. m
At that time Snow was seated upon a
rock in the alley near Roses stable. Al
exander, il was testified, approached
Snow, who was leaning forward with his
head resting upon his hands, and shook
him and told him to go home. Snow, 1t is
said. replied that he was sick and did not
want to be bothered. Without further
words between them, several witnesses
stated, Alexander struck Snow Ave or six
times in the face with his fists. Snow fell
to the ground, it was stated, and then
arose and went to a stable near by.
Soon after he became unconscious and
was sent to the Emergency Hospital,
where he died before morning. 1t is al
legged by the Government that Alexander
attacked Snow with brass knuckles, and
one OF the witnesses, James Carter, testi-
fed that he saw Alexander with brass
knuckles after the assault upon Snow.
At his former trial Alexander admitted
striking Snow, but disclaimed having used
any weapon. II is probable that the case
will not be submitted to the jury until
Saturday morning

LIGHTED MATCH CAUSES FIRE.
The Home of John Mccarthy Visited
by $500 Blaze.

A lighted match caught fire to a cur
tain last evening at the residence of John
Mccarthy. ia Seventh Street northwest,
and before the blaze was extinguished the
building was damaged to the extent of
$500 Mr.. Mccarthy discovered the fire
on the first floor of his home and tele
phoned for the fire department.
Three engines went to the fire, but it
had gained considerable Roadway, and it
was with difficulty that the fremen fin
ally entered the building. Several lines
of hose were brought into service and
but little damage was done above the
first floor of the building. Mr.. Mccarthy
and family left their home during the fire,
but returned after it had been extinguish-
ed. The loss is said to be covered by in-
suraQce.
