together with useful and foolish informal
ton strangely Jumbied.
The month is not divided into weeks
and there are no Sundays Indicated The
day, like our own, is twentyAfour hours
long. 1t is, however, divided into twelve
parts of two hours each The CtineAe
year consists of twelve months Of from
twenty-nine to thirty days each. calcu-
lated SO that the new moon shines the
first Of the month. To make I'D de-
ficiencies, something after the manner OF
our leap year, an extra month is added
every third year. The year is divided into
eight seasons with many other subdi-
visions
Black ana red inks used I'm the
printing. and crude woodcuts Of demons
and gods abound. Red ink Is used In the
chapters devoted to astrology. rs that
color signifies good fortune. The move
ments Of the heavenly bodies are also in
dicated in red. A map of China is printed
In colors, and gives the names of the
governors of the eighteen provinces, court
sessions and news, lucky days for Joss
house offerings, religious days and short
biographies of that days patron god.
A faint hint of politics seems to have
crept into the almanac this year, and
when one realizes that it's pages go
thru the strictest censorship in the world,
its significance is not slight in connection
with the new political preponderence In
the east. The almanac contains several
pages Of the flags of all nations illus
trated in their correct colors, and 1t
is slightly significant that the japanese
emblem is represented more than once,
while her ally. England. is represented
| by every variety OF army, navy and
provincial flag. The Chinese conception
of Old Glory only gives our emblem nine
stars, altho the number of stripes shown
Is correct. Politics in every shape and
! form is barred. but the benign influence
of paternaI government is indicated in,
every other day as lucky day. to pay
taxes, while thru the book runs the sly
hint, this is a splendid time to pay
| taxes and present offerings to the gods. -

second number, as 1906 is the year 80

one lady, q missionary, Mrs. Fisher, en-
joys this distinction alone among her
sex, having in 1903 accompanied her
husband and the Rev.A. i. Kitching to
q height Of nearly $4,000 feet. Last
year these elevations were all surpassed
by Swiss naturalist, DR.. David, who
has been atfwork for some time in this
part Of Africa, and decided to try his
fortune on the western side Of the
range. DR.. David is reported to have
reached height of 10000 feet, but
even this is far below the topmost sum-
units OF RuWenzori. To what attitudes
these do in fact tower has been the sub
ject of some little controversy, but the
generally accepted opinion is that TO-
900 feetsis not an excessive estimates
Perhaps none Of those who have been
enumerated as attempting the ascent of
Ruwenzori has any special claim to
fame as mountaineer. Unusual inter-
est therefore attached to an attempt in
which two well-known climbers, Doug
las Freshfeld and A. Il. Mumm, honor
airy secretary Of the Alpine club, have
been engaged during the last few
weeks. Mr.. Freshfeld, it will be re-
membered, accompanied the British as
ISOLATION to South Africa. On the
return journey he disembarked at Nom
hasa, where he was Joined by Mr..
Mumm, and the two proceeded up coun-
try to the western borders Of Uganda
with high hopes of vanquishing one or

peaks. A private telegram, however,
which has reached London during the
last few days announces that the at
;. tempt has been unsuccessful.
How near to success the explorers
came is not known, but it may be
the scanty stores Of knowledge about
Ruwenzori altogether yunenriched. The
assault on the range will not be aban-
doned, for it is understood that the
duke of the Abruzzi proposes to take
up the attack. Apart from his famous
expedition to the arctic regions, the
duke Of the Abruzzi has to his credit
the ascent of Mount st. Elias in 1897,
when for the first time the summit of
that peak was reached at an elevation
of $4,000 feet. No doubt he will make

mountaineers as, Mr.. Freshfeld an6
Mr.. Mumm emphasizes the difficulty Of
the task. Mrs. Fisher has confidently
affirmed that Ruwenzori's highest
point is impossible Of attainment. But
that,is q very bold thing to say, and
will certainly not deter travellers from
making the attempt.
