CHINESE BUSINESS METHODS.
Immense Amount Of Merchandise Dis
tributed From Four Ports.

IF you would realize what an enormous
amount of business is transacted in the
four seaport cities Of China bring yourself
to think OF all the business of the United
States being handled by four of it's ports
and you will have an idea Of it." said F. B.
Wrenn Of Tacoma, Wash. 1.-THE four ports
Of China handle all of the vast quantity
of merchandise that goes into the vast in
terror of country containing 400, 900. 600
persons. In order to do this large ware
houses have to be provided, and even the
smaller ones are larger than the largest
department stores in the United States. In
the provincial cities there are no general
stores where the purchaser can secure sew
eral different articles. There are streets
where nothing but crockery is sold, others
are filled with fruit others wearing APP
parel. and so on through the list The
stores are scrupulously neat and clean from
one end to the other, and are always kept
SO. The arrangements of the goods on
every shelf are marvels Of ingenuity Chi
nese merchants are always satisfied with
small profits, except when dealing with
foreigners; then one must look OUT

HALF AN ACRE SANK.
Remarkable Occurrence on a Farm in
Virpinia

"Down near Lodge. in Northumberland
county. Va. a few weeks ago there oc-
CURED a remarkable freak of nature that
startled the natives to such an extent that
they have not yet recovered from it," said
D. E. Graham. a Richmond, Va, salesman.
'It was the sinking Of about half an acre
Of land planted in an orchard on the farm
of a man whose name I cannot recall. It
had every appearance Of a small earth
quake The farmer was sitting in his house.
when he heard a roaring. rumbling noise
which he could not understand. He went
outside the house. and in the direction of
the noise, when to his establishment he
found in the orchard hole in the ground
ten or fifteen feet deep and covering about
half an acre Of ground. The remarkable
part about the disaster is that the land
sank about the same depth throughout the
entire space and left walls of earth almost
perpendicular. Many of the natives thought
this a forewarning of something worse to
come, but the farmer explains the situation
in manner satisfactory at least to him
self. He thinks bed Of quicksand under
meath the orchard gave way and caused the
sinking of the land"

CHIMNEYs OF CONCRETE.
Used in Combination With Steel.
Strengthens Structures.

From the New York Tribune.
One Of the latest uses of the combinat ton
Of steel and concrete for building purposes
was exempltf1ed at Los Angeles, CAL. a few
months ago. An enormous chimney for
the power station of number of electric
roads was constructed Of that material
The height Of this chimney from the base
(Which was Is feet below ground) was $50
feet. The lower portion was Ii feet square,
outside measurement, but at an elevation
of 81 feet the structure assumed a cylin-
drical form and had a diameter of Is feet 2
inches
Because unequal heating of various parts
might lead to unequal expansion resulting
in fractures Cor at least unnecessary
strains). and perhaps for other reasons
system. The outer shell begins with a
thickness of 0 inches just above the square
portion. later gets along with inches and
finishes with 5 inches. For the inner shell
the thicknesses at corresponding elevations
are 5, AZ and inches. In consequence Of
the reduction in both walls the space be-
tween them increases with height. 1t be-
gins with II inches and ends with 10 inches
For the outer wall the ingredients of the
concrete were mixed in this proportion:
California portland cement, 1 part; sand, 2
parts, and fine broken stone, parts. The
formula for the inner shell was 1875. Per-
haps the most common ratio for concrete is
1885, but engineers vary 1t frequently to
suit special conditions Employing slightly
different compositions, for different parts
OF the same work Is 2 practice often fol-
lowed.
In order to give greater strength to the
structure twisted steel bars were arranged
in the concrete, both vertically and hori-
zontally. in accordance with weII-known
patented system, On the outside one can
not detect the metal, but it is there.
Other chimneysi OF this character were
put up at Constable Hook N. j., for the
Pacific Coast Borax Company in 1893, and
at Jersey City In 1901 for the Central Lard
Company. A fourth is now in process of
erection for the Singer Sewing Machine
Company at South Bend. Ind The list
may be further extended by including one
built in St. Louis during the last few
weeks. under other auspices. but on the
same general plan.
