ELECTRICITY IN CHINA.
Development In Celestial Empire
Telephones In Most Open Ports.

According to n writer In The West.
ern Electrician, American electrical ap-
pllances are finding a wide use In Chi.
ma, and that country is about to enter
upon remarkable electrical develop.
ment. The telephone, he thinks, is
bound TO supersede the telegraph on
account of the ideographic character OF
the language. which makes II far bet
ter to telephone than telegraph. At
present there are telephone companies
In most of the open ports. There is one
In Shanghai which has over 400 sub.
scrbers at $3J a year. while Canton,
Tien-tsin, Annoy, Hankow and other
coast cities also have telephone sys-
tens. There is n great demand for
rapid communication In nearly all parts
of China, and the business people OF
that country are rapidly coming to the
conviction that they can make money
out OF the telephone, and the Chinese
superstitions In regard TO ii are fast
disappearing since the success of the
allied forces
Just now the matter OF electric rail
roads is receiving much attention in
many parts of China. The great guam
titles of coal In all parts of the coun.
try assure cheap fuel for generating
electric power, and the dense popula-
ton will assure much traffic. This
modern method of transportation
would supplant the human carriers,
the wheelbarrows and the donkey carts
which now carry the freight in the in
terror. The electric railway lines would
also mean the installation of electric
light plants. At present lard oil, kero-
sene and vegetable oil furnish light for
nearly all of the 4O0,OOO,OO0 people of
China. Even the yamens are lighted
with coal oil. Electric lighting is found
only in few of the larger cities. The
imperial palace at Peking has an elec.
trio lighting plant. There is one at
Shanghai and others at Canton and
at one or two other cities. Several of
the provincial viceroys have installed
private lighting plants. but as usual
thing even the larger towns are lighted
only by little candle or lamp hung
out here and there In front of a shop or
public place. Russia and the United
States furnish large quantities of coal
oil 10 China.

TO ACT AS RESERVOIRS.
Farmer. Urged TO Buiid Three Acre
Pond. on Their Lands.

The agricultural department has re-
ceiysd unique suggestion for the pre-
vention OF droughts. which In the past
have done so much to destroy crops,
especially In the west and southwest,
says the Washington Star. The sug-
,gestion has been made that every piece
OF land OF 81 acres be provided with a
pond covering three acres. which, II Is
claimed. Will act as n reservoir to store
water during times OF great rainfall
and diminish danger from foods. at
the same time providing water for irri-
gation purposes.
But there Will, II is claimed by the
advocate OF the method, be a still
greater benefit from these ponds. They
will cause great deal OF evaporation,
which viii be returned to the earth In
the form OF rain, and in addition the
pond will give an ample supply Of fish
for every farmers family.

DIR. Gustav Lebstein Of Berlin, con-

Germany, passed through New Orleans
recently on his way to Berlin after a
six months chronological investigation

DR.. Lebstein would not give the re-
suit of his discoveries in advance of his
report to the German chronological bu-

n startling nature and indicated that
he had discovered traces OF the earliest
race in America. long antedating the
Indians, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
He visited the most mountainous por-
tion Of Sonora, believing II TO be the
oldest inhabited portion of America.
In an almost inaccessible mountain
gorge he found the remnant of road,
broad and well defined, showing the
work of the graders and some evil
dences OF having at some time been
paved 1t Is almost certain from the
clear indications that the road was
built before the gorge was formed, and
the gorge was not a sudden formation,
but was evidently the product of ero-
sion that must have continued through
several thousand years. At the end OF
this road was a high hill of debris from
rich mines. the ore being obtained from
the mountains by means Of workings
that can yet be traced.
There were evidences that the people
that worked the mires from which the
ore In question was taken were much

Telephones For Mines.

The telephone is likely TO have new
use In a short time, and humane one,
says the New York Post. Among the
big mine owners and mining companies
in the Pennsylvania coal regions there
is considerable discussion over the
feasibility of building a system OF tele'
phones all through the underground
workings for use In cases OF emergency
as well as for the transaction OF daily
business. This means OF communica'
tlon would be great help to rescuers
I'm the case of search for comrades
accidentally buried in the workings
through cave ins or explosions. 1t Is
believed that the companies will adopt
some such system.

When the estate of an American
capitalist reaches $5O,O0O.0OO every
body in the United States knows who
he is and his name is familiar wher-
ever newspapers are printed and read.
In Mexico, however, it is different.
There are men in Mexico whose for
tunes run around the S5O,OO0,0O0 mark
and are hardly known out of their
own states. One of these is Don Luis
Terranzas of Chihuahua, formerly
governor of that state. He is the larg
est individual land and cattle owner
in the world. 1t would surprise the
people of Massachusetts to know that
one man in the southern republic was
the sole owner of more land than is
in that commonwealth. They would
hardly believe that one man in Mexico
could supply the whole city of Boston
with beef from his own ranch and
never exhaust his herd.
Don Luis TerraZas is sole owner of
one ranch in the state of Chihuahua
that comprises 100000 acres OF land
and has 100000 acres in other parts
of the republic. On these ranches an
average of 100000 head of cattle, 200,-
900 sheep and 100000 horses Craze the
year around. He markets over $1,000
head of cattle every year and third
as many sheep. This great ranch be-
gins at the city limits of chihuahua
and extends 40 miles north toward
Ell Paso. 1t is over 100 miles wide
and extends into the richest part of
the Sierra Madre mountains. Over
100000 acres of his estate is in good
state of cultivation and is well i'm
proved.
The TerrezaS estate is estimated at
S1OO,O0O,0OO, Mexican money. Besides
his ranch interests he is the heaviest
stockholder in the Banco Minero, Chi
huahua; Agricultural and Mortgage
bank, City of Mexico; Banco Central
MeXicano, City of Mexico; Anglo Mex
lean Banking Company, City of Mex
leo, and Mercantile bank of Monterey,
and controls the Chihuahua woolen
mills. flour factory, packing company,
clothing factory brewery and street
sar system, besides being one of the
heavy owners of the Chihuahua & Pa
cific railroad.
With all this colossal fortune Gen
eral Terrazas lives modest life He
has an office and private bank in his
palatial residence in Chihuahua, where
twenty clerks are employed to attend
to his affairs He seldom travels, pre-
fcrring to take Il trip to his ranch to
touring the country, and has visited
the United States but twice in his life.

By far the most interesting indiyid-

character today in the world, is Gen.
Christian De Wet, the Boer leader OF
this unique figure. whose brilliant and
daring tactics have so long protracted
the South African struggle, writes AL

Transvaal and who accompanied De
Wet upon many expeditions.
There is something almost miracul-

To secure food on barren prairie,
to replenish his cartridge belts, TO keep
his bases alive and to save his own

mental domination. Gen. De Wet has
these. More than this, his troopers
know that he is fighting for liberty.

give up his life at any moment. They
therefore trust him implicitly.
II this military genius were to ap-

Boston, he would not invite second

cheekbones, narrow eyes wide apart
and twinkling with humor much of the
time, a nose large and aquiline. firm
mouth and chin, make his face strong
but not distinguished. He is six feet
tall, with muscles of tempered steel,
rides horseback like centaur, and al

Orange Free State, where he was

Modern Novel. short Lived.

A writer in a London paper COM
menting upon the great influx of mod
ern novels on the market at the pres

the lives of even the best of recently
written novels and reduces the writer
to mere automaton, ,gringing out SEN
timent and sensationalism at so much
per line. 1t will sadden many young
authors to learn that the average life
of the average novel is steadily de-
clining. A few years ago 1t struggled
on for twelve months: then 1t dwin-
died to nine. Now 1t ages at three
months. and perishes of senile decay at

he produces more than one book in a
