natural reaction from the high tension

Manufacturing industry is as active as
heretofore, and sold up conditions and
backward deliveries are almost univer-

very heavy. Retail trade is rather slow
to open up. Crop reports are rather
more irregular. in that while corn is
now practically out of danger and
thrashing returns are less heavy than
expected, pointing to smaller yield OF
bread wheat than earlier indicated.

follows:
To Congress: The condition to which
public order has been reduced since the
initiation of armed rebellion in the prov

there is now in operation in this capital
an American commission, said to be one
of peace and representing the government
of Washington, and that in consequence
the executive has practically lost all au-
thority, while the rebels continue in arms
and in a threatening attitude, and the
writer, on the other hand. desiring sim

turn to its natural state of order and
tranquility, and as it is absolutely impos-
sible to accept the conditions which the
said commission proposes as the only
means of terminating the rebellion, /

THOUSANDS Die
Loss of Native Life and Property
Near Hong Kong.

'HONGKONG, Sept. 20 hough hun
dreds of Chinese boatmen and their
families were saved by the police and
civilians, severa. thousands of the ma
tive water jewellers persisted in the
t%yphoon, many within short distances
of the shore.
The losses in lives and property
among the Chinese were appalling. The
police stations in Hongkong are sur
rounded by Chinese identifying their
dead. The families of the Hongkong
boatmen live night and day on the
sampans, and thousands of these are
now homeless.
The Anglican bishop of Hongkong,
DR.. j.. G. Hoare, was on the yacht Po-
mier, which stranded in Castle Peak
bay. He was on his way to visit some
neighboring islands when the storm
broke and is reported missing.
Most of the damage was wrought on
the Kowloon peninsula. The losses are
estimated at several million dollars.
Over a thousand sampans and junks
are missing from Hongkong alone.
Wharves were swept away and houses
collapsed. The military barracks are
in ruins. The harbor is strewn with
wreckage thrown up on shore.
--latest estimates are that a thousand
lives We're lost during the typhoon
and that the damage to property, pub
lie and private. will amount to millions
of dollars. Twelve ships were sunk,
tw~enty-four driven ashore, seven were
damaged, and one-half of the native
craft in port were sunk. The shipping

When Wom.n Isn't Younu.

The report is that local religious
institution which is for young wom-
en-" has drawn the Geadline of youth
at 50. Every woman over that age
will be marked % and requested to
skiddoo. This is painful. 1t is unkind.
What is worse, it is impracticable. We
are glad the task is to be performed
by women. No man nor set of men
would ever have dared tackle such a
problem-not they. This is simply
another example of woman's inhu-
manity to woman.
We have been told for many ages
that woman is as old as she looks
and man is as old as he feels. Just
now, we say it with regret, most wom-
en- look like co and most men feel like
Methuselah. But the general rule
seems a good one. 1t is a plain, un-
palatable fact that women will deceive
as to their age as long as possible and
then openly lie about it, There are
many women who were born during
the ravages of the civil war who stu
claim sweetlv to be in the thirties.

Made Fun of Statesman's Pathos.

Shortly before congress adjourned
Congressman Cushman, of Washing
ton, took the floor at a night session
and delivered a capital stump speech.
He poked fun at the Democratic party
and paid his respects to Mr.. Towne,
of New York, whom he lampooned in
witty fashion. He got along splendid
ly as long as he stuck to the humorous
vein, but met with disaster later when
he undertook to be pathetic. With
tears in his voice he said: "Mr. Chair
man, only a few days ago I stood be-
side a bier" "One beer?" asked some
one. "Stein or glass?" queried an
other. "a few minutes ago, did you
say?" came from a third. Bottle or
keg?" was still another question. BY
that time the house was in roar and
Cushman's peroration came to a sud
den end.

The Ace Of Lead.

We are wont to speak of this era
as tho "age of iron," and there is no
gainsaying that, iadustrially speaking,
iron is a precious metal"
| Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, if not absolutely neces.
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding.
| pliable, it is not much like it's sister
metal, but those distinguishing auali-
| ties are what give it such a prominent
place in the arts and Industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
'slugs," monotype type-all are
made Of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presseJ as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that Ole
form opens up.
Then there is the most importab..
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keerE
our houses looking pretty - inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metallic lead
Of inf or hn
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to a white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are ''just as good as
white lead. But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
Red Lead is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of |
the metal lead, such as litharge, |
orange mineral, etc, which are es- |
sential to many of the arts in which |
we never imagine that lead would be |
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age Of lead
as we'll as of iron.
