Chinese Railways.
From Engineering.


Chinese railway construction appears to
have been at length begun with vigor A
line from Picking southwark through Han
kow to Canton is one of the projects in
hand. The distance from Picking to Can
ton is no less than thirteen hundred miles.
From Picking southwark line extend
ing for eighty miles has been in operation
for some years, and for the last eighteen
months 1t has been opened to a point about
eighty miles further south. viz, to Cheng-
Ting-Fu. In the course of September this
line was opened to Shunte-Fu, 242 miles
south of Picking, and work was in progress
on its extension for eighty miles further
south, while the line was laid out to the
Hoang-Hu, 410 miles south of Picking. To
meet this line from Hankow on the Yang
tse-Kiang, about 400 miles west of Shang-
hal a line has been built, and was opened
in September. for 1856 miles north, and 1t
will be completed by the end of the year
ffty-three miles further, to Yeng-Chen- Sien.
A further extension is in hand north to
the Hoang-Ho, about 100 miles; upon this
extension there will be a viaduct more than
one and a half miles long 1t is hoped that
unbroken communication will be established
from Picking to HankOw, a distance of
about 750 miles, by the end of 1905.
The Picking, Tankow and Canton line will
be great interior trunk communication.

THE AMERICAN HUSBAND.
He is One of the Most Satisfactory of
Our Products.

From the London Telegraph.
So many good things come from America
nowadays that one hardly experiences a
shock on learning that America is also
Gle inning to produce husbands which are al
most IDEAL The American middle-class
husband is as perfect as it is possible for
any man to be. He has only one failing-he
does not put by money in advance to pro-
vide for the happy home" When he mar
ries it is usually on short notice, and be-
cause he has fallen very desperately in love
with some one and cannot find it In his
heart to wait until cold caution declares the
venture advisable. Even when an engage
ment is a long one he usually sQuanders so
much on gifts and entertainments for his
fianeee that there is only a very moderate
amount to begin housekeeping on.
But this is only an early evidence of his
chief national characteristic as husband
his unfaiAng, unselfish and almost improv-
ident generosity. He Is liberal to the point
of extravaganza in his money relations with
his wife, The young American husband
expects to provide we'll and literally for his
household. He is also very indulgent to his
wffe's fondness for fine clothes. He would
a dowdy one, and although he grumbles oc-
easional1y at millinery BILL in reality he
glories In the Respondent appearance eff his
wife in her fine feathers, and would make
any sacrifice that his pride might be min
istered to in this one particular.
true American husband who has been
out late always takes off his shoes at the
front door and undresses in the dark. OF
course, he frequently lapses from this path
when matrimony has become an older joy,
but, as rule. he is extremely devoted to
his home, and shows very little desire for
pleasures outside of 1t. Indeed, the fault
which American wives very frequently find
in their husbands is that they are too fond
of their homes. In many households the
husband is unwilling to sacrifice his desire
for an evening at his own firesitie to take
his wife abroad in search of pleasure.

The Failure Of sequels.

Fl. B. Marriott Watson In London Daily Mail
The question of sequels was under discus
sion In literary gathering the other day.
and the consensus of opinion was decidedly
against them. 1t was even roundly main
tanned that no sequel had ever been a sue
cess from the literary point of view. Some
one demurred and suggested Paradise Re-
gained" but that suggestion, greeted with
a burst of Laughter. practically determined
the argument. Paradise Regained" was
distinct falling off from Paradise Lost"
It might even be declared dignified, dis
NAL failure. No: Miiton's sequel was no
exception to the rule.
II 1t be rule, are there any exceptions
that prove It? Stevenson,s '.Catriona" was
not up to the level of kidnapped" Mr..
Anthony Hope wrote better book in sFhe
Prisoner of Zenda'' than he did in Rupert

Haggard was tempted to adventure se-,

1t is altogether a .di6eEent matter when
successive books include the same charac-

WIRELESS TELEGRApHY In WAR
It's Use Should Be Determined by a
World Congress.


World Congress.
From the Army and Navys Jesfnal.
While the announcement Of the Russian
government that it weuld treat as spies all
newspaper correspondents using wireless
telegraphy within the zone, of war In the far
east was sent to all the powers. the United
States is the only one, that has replied to it.
In acknowledging the receipt Of the Rus
sian note Secretary Hay simply says that
the United States reserves the right to take
any action that may Be deemed necessary
In case the interests of American citizens
are affected. and Russiaahas accepted this
reply not as. a protest against her action,
but simply as reservation of American
rights under internat aonal law pending an
agreement as to- the slss'tof wireless tefeg-
raphy In time of war. The successful use
Of the wireless system In Che Tar east shows
the need of an International code of regula-
tons for the 'contref of the new means of
communication, and it is already suggested
that as soon as the present war Is over
Russia and the United States take the lead
In calling world congress to define specifi-
celly the status Of wireless telegraphy UNI
der the law of nations
There are differences of opinion between
the civilian and military branches of the
government at Washington over the pro-
posaI to place all wireless systems I'M
der government control, and the matter will
require the most careful consideration.
Army end navy officers are virtually unani-
NOUS In favor OF government control, but
many civilian officials contend that such an
arrangement would be serious obstacle to
private enterprise. The sufficient reply to
that objection is that If an uncontrolled sys-
tenn OF wireless communication would be a
source Oh danger to the national defenses in
time of war. then all questions of private
enterprise must be subordinated to the pub
lie welfare.
The action of the government will doubt
less be shaped largely by the reports of the
Secretary OF War and the Secretary of the
Navy, who, as noted ic these columns last
week Lave been instructed to investigate
the whole question of wireless biography
and propose means to insure its safest and
most efficient operation In International in
tercourse.

Reforming the Alphabet.

From Leisure Hours.
Two scientists have tested the speed with
which the mind can recognize certain LEFT
tiers. with interesting results. The gen.
eral conclusion arrived at is that the forms
OF the printed letters Of the alphabet are
badly conceived from q physiological point
OF view. II they were composed Of charac-
tiers of simple construction. such as are
the letters T and L. the speed OF recogni-
tion of letters would be greatly increased,
and the mental fatigue would be much d.
minished- 1t is also suggested. as the re-
suit of the experiments, that the letters
should appear white on black instead Of
black on white, In the usual way Of print
