THE POPULATION OF CHINA.
Little Doubt It Contains One-Third
Worlds Population.

uH0ssA .
Some doubt has been thrown by re-
cent travellers upon the correctness
of the accepted notion that China Is
a land Of teeming population. 1t has
been asserted that the human hives
along the seaboard and the great riv-
ers of China ought not to be taken as
a basis for estimates; that in those
parts Of the empire which lie off the
main routes Of traffic ithe natural and
artificial water %cOurses,) the popula-
ton of China Is comparatively thin.
A census recently taller by the Picking
government for the purpose of assess
ing taxes to meet tine indemnity pay
ments seems, however, to prove the
accuracy of the olcer estimates. The
census shows that che eighteen prov
inces Of China proper contain 407,-
737,305 inhabitants: that Manchuria
has $500, 900, aud Mongolia, Thibet
and Chinese Turkestan q little yer
10000, O00. The total population OF
the empire is 426, 447.3 1926, according
to this enumeration. The absolute
reliability of Asiatic statistics is ques-
toned; nevertheless, the agreement
of the results Of the census with the
accepted estimates is so close as to
invite confidence. The statement that
the Chinese empire contains one-third

with meat and drink. He tied his
horse at the gate and went to her side,
and oh, how fair and sweet he found
her! Never had she looked, never
had any looked in his eyes SO
enthralling. The charm Of the quiet
moon was owe all; there was no
noise, indeed rather a pastoral melan-
choly with a gentle ripple of talk
threading it about blowing and sowing
and rural affairs.
In a short time the men and women
scattered to their work, and Cluny,
turning his bright face to James, took
both her hands in his and said with
eager delight:
Dear Jane, Darling Jane! Oh,
how l love YOU"
The words came without intent.
But the heart is a ready scholar when
love teaches, and as they slowly
passed through the fields of yellow
~fullness, finding their happy way
among the standing sheaves, Jane
heard and understood that heavenly
tale which Cluny knew SO well how to
tell her.
Not until they reached Swaffham did
they remember that they two were not
the whole rcund world. But words of
care and wonder and eager inquiry
about war, and rumor of war, soor
broke the heavenly trance Of feeling
in which they had found an hour oil
Paradise.
So the Bills sful truce was over, and
Jane and G uny were part of the

CHAPTER Iv.-(continued.)

Neville had asked to be called early,
and before daybreak he came into the
parlor ready for his journey. Some
broiled beef. a manchet of white bread
and a black jar of spiced ale, stirred
with a rosemary branch, was waiting
for him; and Mrs. Swaffham and Jane
sat at his side while he eat and
drank.
Soon Neville's horse came clotter-
ing to the door. He clasped James
hand as it hung by her side, and they
walked thus to the threshold. Snow
was falling; the steps were white
with 1t, and the east wind blew it
gently in their faces. Mrs. Swaffham
laughed and drew her shawl over her
head, and Neville laughed also, and
with a cheerful word, leaped to his
saddle, his dark figure growing more
and more phantom-like through the
dim dawn and the white veil of the
snow. At the gate he wheeled his
horse, and, saluting them, vanished
into the gray obscurity, which made
all things as If they were not.
He did not say much of the Crom-
wells. I'll warrant they will forget
you in their rising state"

Where do YOU go when you &c to sleep?
That's what I want to know;

But nothing bothers me SO.

And takes away the light;

Just like the way it is here.

COMMERCIAL SWAY OF COAL,
Facts Prove II More Valuable Than
Gold, Says a Writer.

Gold, Says a Writer.
Has the reader eve stopped to on
iider that, viewed from whatever
standpoint it may be. coal is of more
sold? asks a writer in Cent Per Cent.
It may seem a strange thing perhaps,
o put it in this blunt fashion, but
he facts will bear one out in this
assertion.
Coal is of greater value, in it's initial
eature, as an article OF production.
The output Of coal in the United
states last year was 359, 0OO, 900 tons,
torth at the pits mouth 100000 900,
While the value of gold production was
,erhaps $50, 900, 600. This is taken only
is the initial value, and in the case Of
,oal there is an increase in it's value,
Use and service out of the question for
he moment, at every point distant
which is reached from the place of its
production, while the gold valuation
remains the same wherever 1t is used.
In fact, coal is Of SO great Importance
as a mere item Of product that other
things one hears much Of sink into
nothingness when compared there
with.
Oil, which, according to its friends,
was to drive coal out of business has
not realized all that was expected.
The state of Ohio seems to have pass
ed it's meridian and the oil promoters
and gushers Of Texas no longer gush
as they did a year or two ago. The
oil industry can no more snuff out
the coal industry than the planet Jupi,
ter can hurl itself against and snuff
out the sun. Biologists calculate
that enough coal remains in the bow
els of the earth to last q thousand
years. Dare they predict with equal
confidence that the petroleum supply
at any given place will last five? Pc
troleum is the only possible competi
tor to coal and it's flow is SO specula
lative and uncertain that 1t assuredly
will lever jeopardize the coal inter
ests Of the country.
