his clothes on for couple of days
and is again playing around the
room. The rest of the family are
we'll so far, as none of the others

A Letter From Frank Beebe

II became one of the most pleas
urable duties of years to publish
the following letter to correct
our item of last week. We did not
get our information by grasping
some vague rumor, because it was
the general topic of conversation of
the town and every one was sympa-
thising with our former, fellow
townsman and wife. How such a
gross and unjust report could get
STATED and never be questioned is
besond the comprehension of every

Ii Hung Changes American secreta-
ry, William N. Pethick, who wrote in
the December Century of the siege of
the legationers, is himself the subject
of a paragraph in another account Of
the siege which appears in the January
number of the magazine.
Here is Mr.. Pethick's description of
Chinese soldier, which he made to
me while ours were drilling in the
compound: The Chinese will go out to
war with his fan in one hand, his bird
cage in the other and his paper UNI
brella over his shoulder. At night, no
matter how bright moonlight there
may be, instead of the umbrella he will
carry lighted lantern" Mr.. Pethick
was Ii Hung Changes private secretary
and interpreter and expected to follow
him to Canton. He has been here over
80 years and is very fond of the Chi
nese and is perfectly devoted to Ii
Hung Chang. One of his special duties
as private secretary was to read him to
sleep every night.
Mr. Conger relates a little incident
which happened to Ii when he came
here to call on the minister. On enter
ing the drawing room his valet let go
of his arm to pass through a narrow
door. Ii stumbled and fell his whole
length into the room. This was very
notifying to him, and he turned and
remarked to the valet, 81 will throw
you into boiling lard when we get
home" Mr.. Pethick and Mr. Cheshire,
the interpreter, both Americans, came
together to China as young men. They
lived and dressed like the natives,
even wearing cues. so as to be bet
ter able to mix with them and study
the language.
Thomas A. Edison makes some pre-
dictions for electricity in an article
contributed by him to January Sue
cess. He says:
Not only as motive power for mass
i've enterprises will electricity find
uses during the coming half century.
but it will also be applied to the
"gentler sciences" if | may use the
term. By this mean surgery, optics
and astronomy, but greater minds than
mine must dwell on this particular
branch of electrical usage. Already
we have surgical instruments that are
being operated by electricity with graft
flying success; indeed, they have gone
beyond the experimental stage. 1t will
find large field in the operation of
manufacturing machinery, as the Nj
| agara Falls plant shows, and it may
| even extend to the airship, but think
it best to contine it's uses to the earth
until these uses have been exhausted.
Electricity as a science should be
made one of the several studies in
every school in the land. 1t should
rank with spelling and arithmetic. for
the more it is used the more potent it
becomes as an important element in
all of the worlds general affairs and
its value III connection with practical
business and business affairs cannot
be given too prominent place in
Americas future
