GUN-MAKING IN CHINA.
Every Form of Manition of War, from Rifles to Heavy Artillery,
 Made by Natives.

A correspondent of the Lahore Ciyii and Military Gazette visited one of the Chinese arsenals and thus put down his impressions: Finally we were taken. among other places, to the great Chi nese arsenal some way beyond treaty limits, where every form of intuition of war. from rifles to Acton guns, was be-
 ing made. We wandered through a wilderness of factories, covering acres of ground, and were shown the whole process of manufacture. And there were powder factories and other insti- tutions not far away which we had no time to visit. That was, perhaps, the most significant experience of all. You may have seen gun factories before, but have you seen place turning out great guns by the dozen, and machine guns by the hundred perfect in design and construction, run, from coolie to head mandarin, entirely by Chinese, and with only couple of Englishmen en- gagged solely in consultative supervision? Have you seen roomful of Chinese draughtsmen and designers in pigtails and blue gowns solemnly, stolidly and assiduously getting out the drawings for a new gun? It is sight that furnishes food for thought. And as you leave you ask yourself the question: If these men can make guns, why may they not work them some day!'"

 CAUSE OF BAD SPELLING.
Repetition the Only Secret of Learn. ing to Spell for Persons with
 Average Memories.

Probably it is a mistake to say that any person with an average memory cannot learn to spell. As there is a lack of analogy in the spelling of words, learning to spell is chiefly matter of memory. Repetition is the only secret about it, says the Philadel- phla Record. There are some aids. but 1t is the words to which there is no guide which are the common source of trouble. Persons who do not spell we'll have simply neglected the study of orthography and are not entitled to sympathy. Operators of typewriting machines who have considered them selves the victims of a defective or biographical memory have often be- come good spoilers through practice.
 In a vast proportion of cases bad spelling may be traced to wrong pro- nunciation, which is even more fre- quent than is wrong spelling. Prob ably the modern methods of instruction have something to do with the number of bad spoilers among fairly educated people. The old spelling bee system insured repetition. In recent years the writing of the spelling lesson has in many schools taken the place of the oral system. The men and women who had gone through the district school of half century or more ago were al- most invariably good spoilers If, as the Evanston councilmen maintain, spelling be a gift, it is apparent that It is not bestowed on man as liberally as formerly. r.

DANGER IN SLEEPING CARS.
Berths Scored as Filthy and Disease Laden by American Health
 Association.

The filthy and disease-laden sleep- ing car has been duly scored by the American Health association. At the meeting in Washington, says the Star, the subject was very thoroughly dis cussed from sanitary standpoint. Although the facts regarding the culp- able uncleanliness of berths are ad mitted by the public, their rehearsal from time to time helps to emphasize the necessity for reform.
 The railroad companies are always ready with excuses against bettering conditions. Their business is to avoid trouble and save expense. The casual traveller may growl as much as he chooses, but is oftener contented to submit to an infiiction rather than suffer the humiliation of fruitless appeal to authority.
 No one needs be told that the ordi- nary heavy curtained and ill-ventilated night car is veritable propagator of infectious diseases. What better could be expected when the nightly used blankets, as claimed by one speaker, are cleansed but once in six months?
 And, pray, what power exists to call officials to account? What is the real guarantee for the sleeper that he is absolutely safe from the germs left for him from the previous customer? T-.e only remedy rests in the ordinary honesty of the common carrier.
 One of the railroad experts rather plausibly claimed that it was not fair to require railroads to spend large sums of money for sanitary purposes until they knew where they stood. As Ii, in truth, there were any doubts con- corning the efficacy of absolute cleanli- ness, perfect ventilation and thorough disinfection-all easy enough of ap- plication when there is will for the way
