TO CARRY OUT PLANS.
Wong Wal Gee Leaves for China
in Interest of Chinese Reform
Association.

Vancouver, B. C.-COnseQuent upon
the visit to Canada and the United
States Of Prof. Leon Kai Chat, rapid
progress has been made in advancing
the financial and commercial organi-
zatiOn the Chinese Reform AssOcia-
ton aims to establish. Though
LeOng Kai Chew is still touring the
leading centers of the United States,
matters have reached such stage
that steps will at once be taken to be-
gin operations in China to carry out
the aims of the Reform Association in
this regard.
A wealthy Chinese merchant, Wong
Wal Gee, was a passenger by the out
going Empress Of China yesterday
evening en- route for HOngkOng. where
he will take active charge of the I'M
dertakings which the members of the
Reform association intend financing
and floating as soon as the preliminary
work can be completed. Wong Wal
Gee, who came to Vancouver several
months ago with Prof. LeOng Kai
Crew, has been accompanying the re-
former in the East, visiting Ottawa,
Montreal New York. Boston, Balti-
more and other places. Such progress
was made in promoting the CONNER
cial projects Of the association in the
places visited, that Wong Wal Gee
returned to Vancouver with Charlie
Zip Van few days ago and took pas
sage for the Orient yesterday.
The commercial projects of the Chi
nese Reform association are to be
merged in a gigantic joint stock COM
pany with a capital stock paid up of
$4,000. 900. 1t is the intention of the
company, which will be called the Chi
nese Trading company, not only to
carry on business as merchants and
manufacturers. but to establish a
banking system for other commercial
nations Of the world. Manufacturing
offers the company a promising field.
In connection with this Mr. c. Yep
Yen said that the company would en-
gage first in the manufacture Of
"hinaWare Of all classes. The prop
er clay for the finest and best china
is obtained in large quantities in
China. The French and other Euro

THE PEEPING-FROG.
what ON the Principle of
q Bagpipe.

The peeping-frog, whose voice is US
ually the first to be heard in the spring,
and the last to be silenced, is a tiny,
one-inch, yellowish-brown tree-frog,
with few dark stripes and spots. 1t
has round disks on the ends of its toes,
and these enable it to cling to the
twigs and leaves Of the trees, in which
it lives all summer. Like most other
frogs, it returns to the swamps to
spend the winter in the mud, and in
the spring its eggs are laid in the wa
ter, says Woman's Home Companion.
The "peeping" is the love song of the
male, who has a vocal sack in his
throat. When the frog wishes to
"peep," he initiates this sack with air,
and his throat is distended until it
forms a round, glistening white bub-
BILE. The sack works on the same prin-
ciple as bagpipe. Peeping-frogs are
seldom seen, but you may locate them
most easily, perhaps, by going to the
swamps al shutdown. when, if you are
very quiet, the small musicians will
tune up" and you may see the bag
pipes glistening in the slanting rays of
the setting sun.
