IRA DE WITH CHINA

Mr.. Baruch Cert, of San Francisco recently
outlined in a letter TO the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor an elaborate scheme for adj
vancing the sale of American merchandise in
China. He would establish a permanent exhi-
btion of wares from this country in Shanghai
and supplement it with carefully organized
bureau of information, staff Of travelling
statesmen and a system of advertising which
would commend the manufacturers and export
erS Of the United States TO favor. An aStonSh-
ing variety of blunders has been committed in
trying 10 reach the Chinese buyer hitherto. By
q bad choice of dialect imperfect transla-
ton, the producer or his product has often been
rendered ridiculous. In ignorance of the pc
culiar association Of certain colors in the ORR
entail mind with bad luck another class of
prejudices has been excited. Again, the pict-
ures which are put upon packages to render
them attractive to the customer are not only
meaningless at times, but positively confusing
Mr.. Cert believes that host of reforms in adj
vertising alone might be effected by putting the
business in competent hands.
Special Agent Burrill who was sent to Shang-
hal few weeks ago by the government at
Washington, is convinced that the boycott of
goods from the United States will soon wear
itself out. In his opinion China presents a
magnificent field for tue exploitation of Ameri-
can products. The one great obstacle TO sue
cess, he believes is the enterprise of Japan.
Geographically that empire has an immense
advantage over this country, but there remain
to us many compensations for it. All that
seems necessary is that Americans shall act
promptly and intelgenty In commercial as
well as military warfare the victory goes to
him who gets there first" Mr.. BurriIrs re
port was doubtless made without any knowl-
edge Of the plan proposed by Mr.. Cert, but it
Ou0ht TO encourage wide partip00tiOD in hat
plan. A permanent exhibition is an admirable
object lesson to wholesale and retail BUYERS
and as preliminary arrangements for the es-
adjustment of one have already been made. 1t
would be good policy for American producers
TO investigate the project without delay More
over. as nearly all the representatives Of Amer
lean interests in China now are Europeans. who
are in some sense rivals. almost any change
would seem to be for the better

and it is then overcome abruptly. Few earth
quakes Of this type last more than minute.
The Calabria shock is said to have continued
only eighteen seconds. In violence such dls-
turbances have a wide range. Perhaps there
will be tremor that can be detected only Dy
special instruments devised for the purpose.
Sometimes, as at Portsmouth a few days ago.
there will be shock which will startle without
doing real harm. Yet the agitation Of the run
jab five months ago which caused the death OF
from thirteen thousand to fifteen thousand per
sons, is believed to have been induced by eX-
actly the same forces as those at work In New
Hampshire and Southern Italy.
Some day the prevention of the worst effects
of an earthquake will become possible through
the adoption of suitable architectural expe-
dents. In Japan type Of frame for cottage
has been designed which Is sufficiently elastic
to withstand a severe shock without injury
Mr.. j. III. Stephens q civil engineer in India,
has suggested another Idea which seems to be
applicable to larger structures, and might even
save walls Of masonry. In order to Offset Il
gradual arrangement and cracking OF founda-
tons resting on clay, he once put a layer or
sand in the trench before stone was laid.
His experiment was successful that he has
invited architects in countries which are sub
iect to earthquakes to make trial OF the same
plan to insure stability. So far as we know the
advice has not been followed, but, even if this
particular method should not prove helpful,
others might be found which would save both
property and life, and thus mitigate the hor-
rors of the earthquake.

IRISH NAMES IN THE WEST INDIES

From The London Times
A rather curious explanation OF the Irish names
among the negroes of the West Indies does exist
Some years ago vessel with Irish sailors on
board put into West Indian port, and ooat!oad
of negroes TO meet it The sailors were
amazed TO hear the negroes talking 70 eaoh othe.
in the ancient Gaelic tongue. Where DID the!
acquire the language? The natural conjecture or
course. was that the Irish language was taAen "a
the West Indies by the thousands Of lrIShIen anu
Irish who banished 70 the "ssl
Indies by Cromwell. and sold slaves 10 IN
planters there. These were chiefly from Coa-
naught, where Irish the language OF the peoPls

Mr.. Niels Poulson Of Brooklyn expresses great
dissatisfaction with Commissioner Best's plan
for rebuilding the Manhattan terminal of the
Brooklyn Bridge. 1t may prove that he is right;
but the scheme which Mr.. Poulson himself de-
vised was also radically defective In some re-
spects it admirable, but it had this one
great fault: Those persons who wished to take
trains could not tell in advance to which of the
four platforms that were to be provided they
should go. Inasrnuch the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company runs more trains on some
routes than 1t does On others. permanent assign
ments to certain platforms would be wasteful Of

Morton Sends Out Appeal to Equitable
PoIicyhoIders.
New York, Dec. 19.-An appeal to
the policyholders in all the states Of
the Union to assist in preventing adj
verse legislation is made by President
Paul Morton of the Equitable Life AS
surance society in a circular letter
which is being sent to policyholders.
you cannot give men character no
make them honest by preamble, reso-
luton or enactment" says the letter.
What the life insurance needs above
everything else ischaracter, honesty
and good business administration.
There can be no objection to prop.
err legislation. safeguarding the bust
ness, but it should be sound and sane.
The society depends upon its policy
holders to see that there is no unreas.
enable legislation enacted.
1T may from time to time call their
attention to measures calculated to do
them harm, but under no circum-
stances will it be a party to any col
rupt methods in preventing strike
legislation"
Mr.. Morton expresses the opinion
that the Equitable has no right to con.
tribute to political campaign funds,
and informs the policyholders that no
such contributions will be made by the
society in the future.
