CHINA APPEALS FOR AID
Wants United States to Helr
Repel Russians.
NO WAY OF DOING so AT PRESENT

Washington Authorities In Sympath,
With China, but Must Await Ratifi
cation Of Treaty Before Any inter
ference Can BE Undertaken.
Washington, Nov. 81 Sir Chentune
LANG Cheng, the Chinese ministe'
here, acting under instructions from
his government, has been endeavorine
to interest the United States govern
ment in China's behalf in her Manehu
rian troubles and has visited the state
department to learn il any way can be
found by which the United States may
be able to serve China It appears
however. that Secretary Hay has moi
been able to hit upon any plan.
Immediately after his visit to the
state department Sir Liang cabled To
Picking the answer of Secretary Hay t.
China's appeal for assistance in check
ing Russia in Manchuria.
The Picking authorities are aware by
this time that until the ratification OF
the American Chinese treaty, which
was signed on Oct. s, pledging to the
world the opening of Mukden and An
tung, it will be impossible for this gov
eminent, in view of its traditional pol
icy Of steering clear of foreign alli-
ances. to protest against Russia's con
tinued occupation of Manchuria. II
has been pointed out to China that, al
though the sympathy of the United
States is hers, the time for American
interference has not yet come.
It is expected that the commercial
treaty, which should arrive at Wash
ington this week, will be ratified at the
extra session of congress, when the
United States will be in position to
insist on a strict regard for her treaty
rights throughout China. The Picking
government has been told that infringe.
ment by Russia or American treaty
rights in Manchuria will furnish the
Washington government the opportuni-
ty for at least reiteration of its de.
sire for the preservation of the integ-
rity Of China.

LARGEST CIRCULAR SAW.
One in Pennsylvania Intended to Cut
Pine Stumps Into Single
Bolts,

The largest circular saw in the
world has just been turned out Of a
factory in Williamsport, Pa, for use
in the lumber section of Elk county.
The saw Is seven feet four inches in
diameter and wears teeth each one
Of which Is four inches long. The
saw weighs 305 pounds.
The purpose for which the NAM
moth saw was made Is of interest,
says the Philadelphia North Amer
lean. It will be used to cut pine
stumps into shingle bolts, thus open
ing to the market a vast quantity OF
material which until recently was
considered useless. In Elk county,
where 30 years ago the forests of
white pine were hewn down and turn
ed into lumber, there are thousands
OF acres Of great pine stunps as solid
as they were the day that the trees
were cut, any of these stumps stand
from five to eight feet above the
ground, SO that in the swampy re-
gions of the Elk county plateaus
there are millions of feet of choice
single wood. The big saw will be
installed In a mill near Straits, and
its particular business will be to eat
into blocks of the ponderous pine
stumps that are to be fed to 1t, and
it Is expected to make one bite Of the
biggest morsel offered.

RAYS AS CURE FOR DISEASE.
Successful Results Said to Have Been
Obtained by Specialists In
Australia.

Since Prof. Finsen's discovery of
the violet-ray cure for lupus, special
lists at Vienna have devoted much at
tention to the study Of light thera-
peutics. DR.. Schitf, finding the Finsen
lamp so expensive, experimental with
Roentgen rays, which are well known
to contain large proportion Of violet
rays, ozone and other curative ele-
ments, and has met with marked sue
cess in curing lupus, tuberculosis of
the skin, and cancer Of the skin. In
periods Of n month to six weeks he
has cured or vastly improved patients,
being specially successful in cases of
superficial cancer.
DR.. Schiff does not think that he
has yet proved that the Roentgen is
equal to the Finsen lamp rays for
lupus, but thinks that further expert
ments may demons trate 1t. Meanwhile
he has shown the power Of Roentgen
rays to cure diseases and affections of
the skin which the Finsen lamp does
not touch. He has obtained good re-
suits with the ozone lamp which
emits only the ozone ingredients Of
the Roentgen rays. The experiments
are still going on, being aided by a
subsidy Of the Austrian government.
