"6he Heathen
Chinee"

Chinese have a new scheme for get
ting into the United States in spite Of
the exclusion laws, according to dis
covery which has been made by the
Japanese consuls office in Chicago. 1t
was announced by Chancellor Yoshito
Komma of the Chinese-Japanese con-
sulate that several Chinese had clipped
of their queues and represented them
selves as Japs.
To one who is not well acquainted
with the features of the two Orientals
the difference between a Chinese with
out a queue and Jap is SO slight as
to escape notice. This similarity is
said to have been taken advantage of
by the Chinese repeatedly and with
great success to gain admission to the
United States.
The dress and other characteristics
were changed in accordance. The
sacredness with which all Chinese are
said to regard their queues had been
instrumental in getting them past the
inspectors when their braids have been
missing.
Since the anti-queue Chinese have

African Irrigation
Immense Plant Constructed by Cecil Rhodes

900, when, with such an additional wa
ter supply in the reservoir, there
should be fair return for the capital
invested. The scheme, however, must
not be looked upon as one in which
the object has been to make money,
but rather in the light of an expert
nent, to show what crops can be
grown under irrigation in Rhodesia,
and from this point Of view it should
be of inestimable value to the coun-
try.
The dam wall is a tremendous un-
dertaking for so new a country. In
the making of it no less than 10000
cubic yards of rock and earth have
been handled.
Steam and OK power have been en-
ployed for the construction, and man
ual power eliminated as far as pos
sible. Ploughs loosened the required
material, and self-flling and dumping
scoops handled it.
A small body of water was conserv-
ed last season, and fifty acres of lu-
cerne planted as beginning. 1t is
doing extremely well under irrigation.

An important piece of work has re-
Gently been completed in the shape of
Mr.. Rhodes Matoppo dam, which Is to
be used in connection with the irri-
cation of a portion OF his farm near
Bulawayo, Africa. This farm is stu
ated on the northern edge Of the
Matoppos, eighteen miles from Bula-
wayo, and through it runs the val
ley Of tributary from the Malima
river. This tributary is dry eight
months in the year, and the land
around consequently parched.
Mr.. Rhodes schemes are nothing If
not big, and in this instance he has
built huge earthwork wall to dam
the tributary. The work was begun
in May, 1899, and has taken nearly
two and half years to complete. 1t
will render possible the cultivation of
some 1000 to 5000 acres of the most
fertile soil. The total cost up to date
has been something under 100000.
The completion of canal to divert the
Malime flood waters into the reservoir
will bring this total up to about E35,-

Mr.. Busch have come to the conclusion
that unless the exposition is postponed

able to secure the elaborate foreign ex-

can make the exposition as great as
any ever given" said Governor Fran
els, but If we postpone it year 1t will
surpass anything in the exposition line

The exposition managers explain
that a great Japanese fair is to be given
under governemnt auspices in 1903.
and II the exposition is postponed un-
til 1904 everything of interest exhibited
there can be brought to st. Louis the
following year. 1t is the desire of the

HUNDREDS ARE DEAD
AN EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO
City Of chiIpancIngo IN Euins and
Many Citizens Killed or Injured.

Mexico City, Jan. 17.-One of tho
most terrible catastrophes in the his.
tory of the state of Guerrero is re
ported to have occurred late yester-
day afternoon, when an extremely ,vio.
lent earthquake shock was felt al
ChilpancingO. causing great loss OF
life and injuring Elany persons.
Details from the stricken district are
meager, but scattering reports received
here indicate that probably 800 per
sons were killed and as many more
injured.
1t is known that the state capitol
the parish church and many business
houses and residences are in ruins
and that there is much suffering as
a result of the awful seismic disturb
anceS.
One of the edifices that suffered
most was the federal telegraph office,
which explains the paucity of news
that has so far reached this city. The
telegraph lines and apparatus at Chill
pancingo were badly damaged, but the
employees, all of whom were unin.
jured, quickly proceeded to erect an
imprOvised telegraph office on the out
skirts of the city.
The number of deaths was greater
IN the parish cnurch than III any SIN
gle place, as a crowd of worshipers
was gathered there for the afternoon
service. The solid masonry walls and
the roof came topping down on the
worshipers and many of those within
were killed.
The War Department has ordered
troops in the neighborhoOd to coop
crate in the work of rescue. Until this
work is completed it will be impos-
sible to accurately learn the number
of victims.
1t is believed, however, that this is
one of the most destructive seismic
phenomena that has occurred in Mex
leo. The greater part of the people Of
Chilpancingo are now camping out
under tents around the town, which Is
five days journey from the national
capital.
The earthquake was also intense at
Iguala, in the state of Guerrero, de-
stroying the parish church and many
buildings in the city and neighborhOod.
Among the latter was the sugar mill
of General Frisbie, an American. The
mill had just been completed and
fitted up with American machinery ut
cost of 100000. The property loss
is immense throughout the state Of
Guerrero.

ABOUT ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
It's Marvcls Not Fully Appreciated In
the Present Ago.

It's Marvcis Not Fully Appreciated In
tho Present Ago.
The electric light is new, and yet is
SO old that perhaps We do not appreci-
ate its marvellous achievement. II we
will but recall the conditions before it
came we shall see what a wonderful
advance it has been in the field of ap-
piled science. Its use in theaters. in
stores, in show windows. in street H.
luminations. in private as we'll as pub
lie, its application for lighting in all
sorts OF out of the way corners, its
divisibility into various degrees of
power, its absolute safety SO long as
the wires are properly guarded. its per-
feet sanitary qualities. the practical
absence OF heat and the entire absence
of odor are things that make one feel
that in the way OF lighting We have
come perhaps to the last discovery.
Yet this light was shown in this coun-
try for the first time at the Centennial
Exhibitlon-twenty-fi years ago. And
1t is needless to say that those who
saw 1t were sceptical of its practical
use. Arc lighting was produced on a
commercial basis in 1877. but the real
beginning of electric lighting in its
modern aspects was with the opening
Of the Pearl street station in New York
by Edison in September, 1882. where
the Edison incandescent lamp was
used. In the nineteen years since then.
according to careful tabulation made
by the Electrical Review, the invest
ment In electric lighting plants In this
country alone has reached the sum OF
soc. 100000. This wonderful industry
has been established in this short time.

face of the organized and long estab-
lished competition Of gas illumination.

come into prominence it has developed
that many of these Celestials not wish
ing to incur the wrath of their ortho-
dox brethren and thinking their
chances better for consideration at the
hands of Americans, have represented
themselves as japanese. Their hair ia
coarser than that of the Japanese, how
ever, and their features are quite diff
ferent to one familiar with both races.
There are comparatively few Japan
ese in the United States. There is no
disposition on the part of the Japs to
emigrate to the United States as the
Chinese do.
The Japanese do not take kindly to
the sorts of work to which the Chinese
are adapted. When they do remove to-
America, however. the Japanese take
up American ways and make intelli-
gent and progressive citizens. This is
said by Consul Toshiro Fuiita to be
due to the fact that the Japanese are
educated and broad-minded. Nearly
all educated Japanese have a knowl-
edge of English. and government docu-
ments and treaties are printed both in
Japanese and English.

spraying, etc, as prescribed for the
general crop, and the summer brood

Another important point is to plant
the earlier varieties of cotton so as
to get fair crop matured before the
weevil becomes so numerous in the
summer. Prof. Mally has made elabo-
rate experiments with varieties and
his report gives the results i'm detail
Varieties from more northerly lati-
tudes are preferable because they ma
ture earlier.
The rows should be wide apart Sun
light and heat are enemies Of the in
| sect; shade and moisture are its
friends. When the cotton is wide
apart the sun and heat can penetrate
the branches and will destroy many
larvae as they fall to the ground to
hatch new weevils in few weeks.
Flowing them under at this stage
does no good. as they can not be east
ly covered deep enough to prevent de
velopment
The next process is hand d-picking-
tedious and expensive labor But
tests show that It pays. Spraying and
shaking have their part also in the
general plan which extends practic
ally throughout the entire season.
All scientific observers and all prac
tical farmers agree that there is yet
one remedy or method that
will destroy the pest The only hope
is perpetual warfare by which the
damage may be minimized. For this
TO be done successfully it is necessary
to learn all the habits of the insect
and to profit by the experience of the
