Una correspondence de Mukden,
que publica I'm diario de Paris CORES
pondiente al 8 de Octubre, da las Si-
guientes curiosas noticias acerca del
china de Ia Manchuria, donde en- estos
momentos contender encarnizada-
mente rusos y japoneses:
"Se acerca el invierno, dentro de

aqui; las primeras nieves han caido en-
Irskustk.
Muy pronto estas cubriran la Man
churja, que amables climatografos nos
representan como TN pals de china

misna latitud que las islas Baleares.
Pero hace mucho mas fr1o aqui que
en- las BaleareS.
Es, pues, una ataque la verdad
decir que la nieve es rara en- la Man

La verdad es que esta Manchuria es

Que las lluvias de Mario y meses ST.

horas segujdas del desierto de Gabi,
envuelven la atmosfera de tai cantidad
de polvo, que LENA las casas, obscure

De los 365 d1as del aflo, hay que

y 65 de TN sol abrasador.
En- estos dfas quisiera uno ponerse

There are many bad things about
modern warfare. but there are also
few good things and one of them is that
it has become so expensive that no
nation can afford to carry it on very
long. The war is said to be costing

which is probably below the actual
cost. Money will have to be raised be-
fore long to meet this expenditure. A
small part of the cost. $15,000,0O0, has
been secured by issuing new paper
currency to that extent. A new foreign
loan will probably be the next step.
The cost of the war will increase each
day. as more men are constantly being
sent to Manchuria. 1t Is not probable
that the war will be a long one, as
neither country can stand the financial
strain for n long period.

Thousands Of people hear but little
more of the shad fishing of the Kenne-
bee than they do of the sardine cam
ming of the eastern coast of Maine, but
those who do know of it and the ex-

be panied to learn that this years con-
ditn ms are so backward. Reports from
New Jersey say that shad fishing has
started in well, but a Bath, Me-, man
says:
with cold and dreary snowstorms.
the outlook for shad fishing. this spring
has been anything but satisfactory to
the many fishermen hereabouts, and
the old-timers are beginning to proph-
esy n poor season. So much rain and
snow. accompanied by high winds, mud
dies the streams to such an extent that
the shad would not come into the river
under any conditions. while another
drawback is the fact that the weather
Il so cold that the shad cannot be at
trccted this way. 1t takes little rain
and plenty of good. warm sunshine to
attract the shad in large schools and il
this condition exists the. fishermen will
be happy. Tia season will not begin
for a fortnight at least. which is consid-
erably later than usual.
