sulphur beds, which the Government
does not allow to be worked.
North Of Upper Nonni Valley the
Great Khingan is connected by a high
land region and at its highest point a
Chinese temple invites travellers of
all nations to come and worship at its
shrine. Here the Manchu poet sang Of
the Shan-Alin, the sacred home of his
forefathers.
The two chief Manchurian rivers flow
in opposite directions, the Sungari be-
ing the main stream Of the common
basin which forms the Amur. During
the floods this river becomes an inland
sea with islands, the resort Of count
less hocks of wild swan, geese and
ducks. The Shara-M -Muren, or Yellow
River, which on the Mongolian plateau
is a part Of the Liauho and which
flows into the Gulf of Liaotung, finds
the sea where stands the important
city Of Newchwang. The Liauho was
at all times an important waterway,
the river flowing close to the city Of
Mukden.
The surface of Manchuria is extreme
Iy varied, with it's sandy wastes, it's
grassy steppes, rich arabic lands and
dense forest tracts. In a region
stretching east of the Great Khingan
the monsoons from the Pacific are ar
rested by the lofty Shanalin highlands,
which receive most the moisture
This necessarily makes arid the re-
gion beyond. But proceeding eastward
the soil benefited by the cloud bearing
sea breezes, is rich in vegetation, and
the forests and streams are the home
Of wild beasts and fowl.
Most of the North Manchurian
mountains are green to the peaks,
while the valleys abound in impene-
trable forests Of oak, elm and willow
In South Manchuria nearly all
the arabic lands have been re-
claimed and vegetation is less
dense. South of Mukden the
seaward route traverses a thickly
populated district Although icebound
for four or five months of the year the
trade has rapidly increased. Cotton,
raw silk, hemp. pea oil and coal are
exported from this point. The whole of
South Manchuria abounds in coal and
the mines in the hills southeast of
Mukden supply the towns and metal
WOIkS Oh lne
The coal is also used by the steamers
plying in the Yellow Sea, and is said
to be superior to that of Japan and
equal to the best Cardiff.
Altogether one would call the
country of Manchuria exceedingly
fertile. Agriculture is the chief occu-
patton of the people. The products are
beans and peas. More attention has
been lately devoted to wheat
and other cereals, cotton, indigo, to-
bacco and poppy, the native-g grown
opium having almost completely sup
planted the Indian drug. The mineral
wealth is very great. A gold mine on
the lower Sungari River is being
worked by the Government private
mining being forbidden. The manufac-
lures are unimportant. Some cotton
cloth and silk are made for home
consumption and soda is prepared on
the steppes of the Sungari. There are
salmon fisheries on the lower Sungari
and the Hurka, where great quantities
Of fish are dried for the winter. Dis
tilleries are numerous and bean oil is
extracted, which forms the staple ex-
port. Very fine sable, tiger and lynx
skins, ginseng and deer horns are
among the other products

LONDON, Feb. 2o.-At the out
break Of the struggle between Japan
and Russia little was known by Amer
lea Of the cause. Still less is known
q bout the country over which the war
is being wsged. The quarrel in the
East has been OF such long duration
and so much had been written Of the
threatened rupture between nations
over the partitoning of China that
PEOPLE on this continent had come
10 regard the whole subject with in
difference. But now the war is on.
Where will it end is the greatest in
ternational problem that has appeared
for z century.
Russia and Japan are striving, the
former TO occupy and the latter to pre-
vent the occupation Of that portion Of
Northeastern China, lying south of the
Amur River and over which a diplo-
matte duel has long been in progress.
For years past Americans have read
Of the Russian invasion Of Manchuria.
They have perused columns Of opin-
ions on the convention Of 1896, when
Russia and Japan signed articles recog-
nizing the sovereignty and independ-
ence Of Korea. The question has often
been asked: why does Russia want
Manchuria2 Why does Japan oppose
the scheme2"
Manchuria is an empire in itself 1t
is more favorably situated as to eli
mate than any other part Of China. It
Is bounded on the north by the rich
lands of Siberia, on the south by Ko-
rea and the CULTS and bays Of the Yel-
low Sea, on the east partly by the
grain fields of Siberia, and on the west
by Mongolia. Here only is Manchu-
ria touched by an arm Of the. Mongo-
Ian desert. Reference TO the accom-
panying map will show the vastness Of
the Manchurian domain.
Almost 400, 900 square miles Of the
earta's surface are contained within
the borders of the province. The fol-
lowing table of areas as illustrated in
the man is interesting:

PARIS, Feb. 20.-At the annual pic
ture exhibition of the Cercle de la Rue
Boissy d'Anglais, otherwise known as
the "Epatant," a great novelty is shown
in the new electric lighting invented by
the son of the great artist, Fortuny.
This system of refracted light is almost
as satisfactory as sunlight.

It is in its physical features that
Manchuria is rich. for it can safely be
stated that within the 100000 square
miles a population Of only 5000. 600 Of
unenterprising people exist. to whom
mining or exploring is either forbidden
by the Government or who are too lazy
