WHAT THE CHINAMAN WEARS
THESE COLD DECEMBER DAYS

One singular Thing about the China
man Is THAT so far as outside appear
ances 80. he dresses himself exactly
alike, both winter and summer.
He appears neither more bulky nor
thinner as the seasons go by and the
style, cut and texture of his raiment.
unless searching Investigations are
made, seem unchanged. However, as
che winter weather comes On, tile snow
begins to fall and the chin winds to
whistle Through the cracks in his
laundry, or other place of business he
does make certain changes in his
wearing apparel. which, while they do
not show up ON the outside, have the
required effect of keeping him warm
and comfortable
In the summer time the Chinaman
wears as few clothes as rs permitted
by custom. The wide flowing silk coat.
with balloon sleeves, equally wide
jeans and a glimpse of white stock
ing in the shoe. are all he thinks it
necessary to wear. other articles are
regarded as superhuous.
AT this time of the year such a
Cninaman has concealed beneath this
same silk coat and jeans a variety Of
things designed to keep him warm. Dur
ing cold weather the un-Americanized
Chinaman wears at least six or seven
coats When he rises early on a cold
winters morning, the first thing ne
reaches for, as a rule, is a silk or
worsted coat, which he dons, tight-fit-
ting to the skin. Then he hastily gets
into a worsted blouse made in the
shape of the usual outside garment Of
the Chinese, and then has two or three
silk coats to put on, which are follow
ed by a clOsely-knit muslin coat, an
other silk coat and the top coat, or
blouse. This last lis so made that no
suggestion is given of the other un-
derneath. II never bulges, and no flap
OF edge OF the undercoats show His
jeans are put on next, underneath
which he wears a closer-ftting pair Of
silk jeans. If particularly chilly. he
wears extra pairs Of the silk jeans. The
outside jeans are made out of heavy
muslin, as is also at times the winter
top coat
Concerning his stockings and his
feet, the Chinaman who still adheres
TO his native costumes in wearing
clothes, has trouble. According to tho
statement of an intelligent Chinaman,
Chinaman who stillprofesses the ne
ligion of his nOrefathers, is permitted
to wear shoes or boots, closed over the
instep. or reaching above the ankle,
unless he is a priest. Consequently
in winter the only protection for his
feet that the Chinaman has is heavy
stockings, and having very thick cork
and worsted soles put on his shoes.
The stockings of the Chinaman are not
bought in this country, but come from
China by way of San Francisco, and
are not a common garment One diff
ference between them and the Ameri-
can stocking is that they are neither
so short as that of the ordinary citi-
zen or as long as that of the school
boy. The top reaches just below the

coal wholesale at the mines, and less the
tonnage, would make the rate that cleo
tricity could be furnished at any distance
remote from the mines much less But
the West Chester man, after considering
the question, decided that the fact that
this is the case would soon cause a com
petition that might soon remove all
chances for profit in the business. The
necessity Of having light and perhaps
heat from electric plants, and the very
large increase in demand for electrical
motor power is making this subject one
of more than usual interest at the present
time. but water power for generating
electricity seems to have the call in the
eyes Of experts as well as capitalists.

Water is to furnish power for the oper-
alton Of electric cars Of the Wilmington
City Railway Company, and the old
Brandywine is to be harnessed in order
TO afford the supply.
Since the railway company has ex-
tended its lines to various points in the
city and vicinity it has been found that
the supply of electricity from the present
power house is insufficient for the proper
moving of cars, and for this reason an
additional power house has been built
near Lea's mills on the Brandywine.
For some time large corporations have
been trying the experiment, where 1t Is
possible, Of operating their plants by
water power instead of the usual method
of steam. This idea is to be adopted by
the Wilmington City Railway Company
In working its new plant. In order to do
this it will be necessary to harness the
Brandywine at a point above Market
street bridge and run the water through
a course 1t is impossible, however, to
shut off the flow of water entirely as the
laws of the State do not permit the
closing Of any stream. It, therefore,
will be necessary for the company to
+ make an uullel 50 lhdl AAN MnANA AiH9
pursue its original course.
It has already been noted that many Of
the best water powers Of Pennsylvania
are being bought up, and some capitalists
have made investigations just over the
Delaware line for water powers upon
the larger streams, for the purpose Of
making investments, believing that in
the near future water power can
furnish electricity TO the numerous
projected trolley lines there at a much
less cost than in paying freight upon
large quantities of coal necessary for
fuel. 1t is limited, however, that few Of
the streams are sufficiently large to give
constant power in any considerable guam
titles, the volume of water not being
sufficient in the Brandywine in the east
or west branch, to operate a trolley line
of any great amount of business. In this
connection a West Chester man, who has
interested himself to some extent in cleo
trio matters, recently had an offer that to
him was quite tempting for a time. A
stock company is being organized for the
purpose of generating electricity and fur
nishing it for lighting and power pur-
poses TO any company or municipality
within a hundred miles, the plant to be
located upon a plot adjacent to some Sc
lected coal mine in the Lehigh district.
The object of erecting their plant there
can readily be imagined as the price Of
