TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In Chi.a' s
Show at the Worlds Fair---Tke Nest
)Populous Nation of the World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy OF Her Greatness.

Many expos. IONS of stupendous char
acter make UP the Worlds Fair OF
1904. Each part is vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters MI;
acres of wonderful thinSs-wondc"iI II
because they are the choicest OF their
kind. Every nation on the globe i
represented. Every state and territory
is here with its best and making tie
most of its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not beer IL
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here prominence
quite exceptional. 1t is wonderland
of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports of teas, which have found Il
vast market in the United States 70"
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her TO make dis
play of teas that we should not for
get.
In sealed glass jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some 200
kinds of tea. Young Hyson and Old
Hyson have a string of tea relations
longer than the genealogical chain Of Il
Plymouth Rock. They are neatly Sc
lected chops" in the language Of the
tea farmer. and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas, which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number of 400.
The teas exhibited vary in price from
few cents a pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight in gold, the tea in the latter
cases being placed on one side of the
scales and pure gold Oh the other
that is to say, the tea Of this expensive
kind IS worth about $50 gold an ounce.
Only a very small quantity of this ex-
elusive Leaf is exhibited; and it is
grown in carefully guarded tea planta-
tions or gardens right under the shad-
ows of the great wall of China. Its cul-
tivation is prohibited for any use save
for the imperial family Of China and
few of the favored high officials.
Mention has been made Of the word
"chop" in connection with tea. and it
may be interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va
rious districts of the Chinese empire on
