The Rockefeller banks in New York

the opinion of their managers the stock
market was becoming jagulated, and
proceeded to call in Icons. The immedi
ate consequence was n slump of ten or
more points all around. and unless the
same institutions should decide to sup
port the market today, we may look for
hoped that the outcome may not be dis
astrous. The specializing public has been

is true. and it ought to be, for it ema-
mates from the French Minister to Chi
ma, it will make a considerable differ
ence in the bill China will have to pay,
and the addition of ninety millions to
what our authorities thought to be an
excessive demand will not add to their
equanimity This will be especially
true If. as has been limited. there is a
scheme on foot to float a Chinese loan.
to be guaranteed by Russia in this
country.
Much as we deplore the doddering
policy which has marked the course of
the Administration in China since the
beginning of the year 1900 we are bound
now to agree with it in one respect. 1t
is doubtless right in holding that China
could not raise such an amount of
money as the latest accounts lead us to
expect finally will be demanded. And
If the money cannot be had, what then?
Why. the alternative would appear to
be necessarily partition, and partitions
Of the kind we may expect to see in
China do not generally have open doors.
However, the end is not yet We must
wait to see what Japan may elect TO do

DEPTH or a RAINFALL.


xhs MethSA ~ whieh & l3Asoar4as-
" Measnxea. s
Probably one question that has puE
xle4Ssthe lay mind is how the depthsof q
rainfall may be accurately determined.
The wayi Il Is done Is this:
A funnel whose larger aperture rep
resents . surface Of 100 square inches
10 placed In a position where It may
catch the direct fall OF the rain. with
the rim OF the funnel extedding per-
haps an inch or more beyond tbe.plat-
form to which It may be hxed. This
Is for the purpose OF preventing. any
rain from being wished into the funnel
and increasing the true fall. From this
funnel the water runs to q tube which
bears an exact and carefully determin-
ed ratio to the area Of the tunnels
mouth, say one-tenth.
II, therefore, the tube shows water to
the depth Of ansinch, 4 is clear that one
tenth Of an inch? Of rain has fallen. The
tube is provided with q carefully grad
uated scale 20 that the fall may be
readily seen. Three inches Of rain
would show q depth Of 30 inches In .
tube one-tenth the size Of the receiving
aperture, and the. .decimals of an inch
could be quickly noted by observing the
scale.
II placed on the roof Of a building,
the apparatus should be kept away
