THE CHINA OF THE FUTURE.
Risbop Moore Says that China Can
Never he what II Was before
the BoAer Outbreak.

New York, Sept. 24.--Bishop David
Hastings Moore, # the Methodist
Episcopal church, having supervision
of China, Japan and Corca, who has
reached this city to spend five
months in the open door missionary
movement, in which his church is now
interested, says regarding the fresh
outbreak of the Boxers in China, that
he does not believe there will be AN
other general uprising in the future.
"That China can ever be what it
was before that outbreak is impossi-
ble," he said "lIer idols are shat
tered, her ideals blasted. The sacred
wall around Pckin has been dug
down to admit the locomotive, the le-
cations are enlarged and rebuilt with
reference to any future trouble. The
empire has been shot through and
through with western ideas, while
the natives seem to have an omnipo-
tcncc all their own. Timothy Richard
is commissioned by the emperor to
reconstruct the educational system
on western models"

sufficient water to irrigate one hun
dred acres Of rice. To do this it
must flow or pump over a million
gallons of water daily, and do 20
for not less than three months.
The query naturally goes forth
that if rice can be grown by irriga-
ton why cannot corn, cotton, oats,
potatoes, etc, be raised under like
conditions, the only difference be.
ing that the weight Of argument is
with the farmer Of diversified pro.
ducts because he need only irrigate
when his crop demands moisture.
The small well irrigation system
has been applied to the growing OF
garden truck in aud about Beeville
with marked success, and the time
has arrived when the farmer, other
than the rice grower, should avail
himself Of the opportunities offered
for profitable cultivation by max
ing use OF the great water supply
Providence has located easily with q.
in reach of a moderate pumping

small grower may undergo in view
of the revolution it would make in
his methods.-Literary B ureau

The success which has followed
the irrigation Of rice in both Loui.

where the farmer is wondering if
he could not properly apply the
system to the growth Of other
crops. The discovery that the
prairies Of the coast country are
located over inexhanstible stratas
OF fine fresh water has, or at least
will in a measure, emancipate the
small rice grower from the neces.
