INTERESTING LECTURE TO
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
DR.. Collins, Who Resided in China for
Many Years, Gave Very En-
PERTAINING Talk.

DR.. Collins gave very interesting
and instructive talk to the high school
Friday morning on life in China. His
residence and work in that country
made it possible to bring out many
phases of Chinese characteristics not
well understood by the American peo
pie. Teachers and pupils who listened
to his talk had their views of Chinese
life corrected and enlarged. He began by
reviewing the opening of that empire,
showing how the Spanish and Portu-
guese were the first to trade with the
orientals. The first port opened was
at Maco, Southern China, which city
exists today under the control of the
Spanish and Portuguese. Since that
time many foreign cities have sprung
up, owned and controlled entirely by
various foreign countries. If the ma
tives own property and do business in
these cities, they operate under another
name. Situated on harbors or river
fronts and built in accidental style, these
cities are very beautiful and unique in
that land of the mongols. A peculiar
thing about Chinese cities is that the
best kept portions are on the water
front, and thus present Il view more
attractive in appearance than an Amer
lean city, to those who land on their

cleanliness and care of sick, where no at
tention is given to checking the spread
of smallpox, lcprosy and other contag
ious diseases. Though the Chinese are
throwing off much of their superstition
as to the sick and dead, still it is not an
uncommon thing to see lepers mingling
with the common people and the sick
left out of doors to die, lest their spir-
its should remain an eternal habitant
of the home.
The most important class of foreign
residents in China are the officials, who
look after trade and political relations
for their respective countries. Then
comes the native tax collectors, who
draw a big salary and live sumpt,ious-
ly.
The wholesale merchants are men of
great wealth and influence there, deal
ing as they do in the wares of so many
natives.
While the foreigners have given
great impulse to China civilization, yet
we must not forget that China was well
advanced in scientific knowledge when
our ancestors were bowling barbarians
in Germany and Scandinavia. conse-
qucntly we should not be surprised at
the tcnacity with which the Chinese
hold to the ideas and customs they or
iginatcd. The missionary class is doing
mncn to introduce modern civilization
into China, by the establishment over
the empire Of their compounds. which
is the center of their school and medical
work. The natural curiosity of the
Chinaman leads him to observe closely
the manner of life of these resident for

/ The speaker then described the meth
DDS of travel in vogue. On the coast and
rivers, innumcrablc ships take the trav-
elcr TO all accessible regions. These
ships are well equipped and offer cheap
transportation. The two wheeled car
riage follows the paths in the interior,
and the closed chair home, carried by
natives, is the common vehicle in use.
A great impetus has been given to
railroad construction and lines are now
running out of all great cities. Teleg.
raphy is taught in native schools, and
the operator readily finds employment
on the numerous lines that thread their
way overland. Indeed, the telegraphic
facilities, both domestic and foreign, are
nearly equal to those Of occidental ma.

WHAT TELEPHONES
ARE DOING TO US
Holding the Receiver to the Left
Ear Is Weakening the
Right.
"LEFT-EARED'
~ This Is to Be Avoided Wa Must
Make a Practice Of Using One
Ear az Much as the Other in
Receiving Messages.

New York Times: An announcement
~ made, which, III true, is an interest
ing illustration OF the minor differenti-
alton OF the characteristics due so en-
v-ironmental conditions, so 10 speak.
We are told that the telephone is Civ
ing US a race OF left cared people
that In, OF people VINO hear better with
The lett than with the right cal. The
American Telephone Journal says on
this subject
Nine out Of every ten who use a
telephone hold The receiver that car,
and many find IL impossible to hea
over a telephone through the right ear.
The fact that the majority OF men and
women are Iight-handed n that the
constructors OF the first telephone took
due notice Of this Is responsible fof
this new condition Of left-eared people,
Watch u telephone for half a day, and
Ii viii be seen that almost every per-
son who uses that inst -ument will
place the receiver 10 the left ear. Or,
even 81 the instrument is resting on q
table, the left ear Will be the one used.
When the new instruments We're con-
structed the receivers were allowed 10
remain on the left side. as the users
had become accustomed 10 this. All
this has created a race of left-eared
people, for, having become accustomed
10 using the receiver at the left ear,
II was found that the hearing In thSt
ear was better and more sensitive.
Every telephone girl in the exchanges
has the receiver on her left ear, and
the man who uses his right ear is an
usual.
The observations above recorded
agree with average experience. 1t is
true that q great majority OF the peo~
pie who use the telephone hold the re-
ceiver to the left ear. but IL would not
require a very violent stretch OF the
imagination to assun that this is be-
cause the receiver hangs on the left
side OF the instrument, and thai IL was
put on the left side so that the user
might have his right hand free TO make
notes OF names. addresses and other
facts communicated In messages re-
ceived. That the effect OF holding the
receiver habitually 10 the left ear is
to make that ear more sensitive than
the other is a new view OF the matter
and one which does NOT find confirma-
ton In average experience. The ON
slant buzz OF the system. the frequent
small explosions which sound like pistol
shots. and the variety OF odd sounds
which the wire brings to one who oheys
the injunction to hold IL subject TO
the convenience OF another. cause the
average person to leave the instrument
with the unalterable conviction that his
nearing on the felt side has been
permanently impaired, 1t Is sometimes
an hour before the disagreeable SEN
sation Of rife practice inside ones head
passes. We venture the assertion that
II the telephone is having any effect
upon the hearing OF those who use IL
that effect is to make them right-eared
and establishing an Inequality In hear
ing power to the permanent disadyan-
sage of the left ear. ("

bacy is the ideal condition, but as mar

A very unusual method of courtship
and marriage has been established.
When "A young man manifests a desire
to make a woman his wife and
she gives her consent, he takes up the
necessities of hfe and departs for an

In any Of the villages or churches. All

1t is literally true that the society is
patiently awaiting the coming OF a
prophet. Not since the death OF Bar
bara lehman has there dwelt
among them one inspired, and they
long for her successor. Barbara Helm
man was the only prophet after the
death of Christian Metz in 1867. She
was born a poor ignorant peasant
girl in Lower Elsass in 1895. After the
battle OF Liepsic her entire community
suffered a panic. The factory where
she was employed was closed and she
was compelled to secure work as "a
servant. She grew melancholy and
consulted many priests. Finally she
heard OF Books band and joined it. At
1S she was inspired for the first time.
She married George Landmaun, when
the inspiration left her. Bat she came
to America with the society and the
power returned in 1849 and remained
with her until her death. No monu-
ment marks her grave; only a small,
ooden slab, as at every grave, tells
the name and age OF the deceased.
