Fear Trouble In China.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The attitude
Of the Chinese toward foreigners and
foreign interests generally has become
sufficiently hostile to warrant prepa.
rations on the part of the various
governments for the suppression OF
another demonstration such as that
which occurred In 1900. The navy de-
partner: had intended to order the
bsttleship Oregon back to the United
States. but in view Of the threatening
stu alton which has developed, in.
structions have been cabled to leave
this vessel In the orient. There is no
change IN the purpose of the presiden,
to increase the battleship force in orr.
entail waters by two vessels during the
coming spring.
The troops at Manila will be within
50 hours of Chinese territory, and II II
should prove necessary to land q force
In the southern part of the empire,
there will not be the long delay which
would enable the Chinese to prepare
for desperate resistance.

Ribbon Weaving SILK worms.

Some ambitious silkworms Of the
neighborhood Of Venice, says the Buff
falo News, have woven by themselves
a ribbon three yards long and three
inches wide. When they reached the
chrysalis stage, instead Of weaving
round on the twigs prepared
for them, they preferred to travel up
and down the smooth apper side of a
strip of wood nine feet long and three
inches wide. Back and forth they
went, spinning their silken web, until
at last they made a beautiful ribbon
transparent in its center and golden
yellow at the heavier edges. The scarf
Is amazingly strong for a fabric so del
icately woven.

The rise of the cane sugar in

Though the sugar land in the
islands is most extensively cult
waited, yet the demand for the pro-
duct of such lands is so great that
several remarkable projects are
under way to increase the acreage
of sugar production. On the island
of Oahu it is proposed to level an
area of rolling and hilly land, six
miles long and almost as broad,
that is now cultivated only in
patches. One of the largest sugar

it will cost $5,0O0,0OO to level a
mile of this land. Other projects
of similar magnitude are contem-
pltaed. According to the Pacific
Commercial Advertiser two new
railway extensions are planned in
the islands.
Homesteads to Be Granted.
The sugar planters of Hawaii
are now prepared to grant home
steads of two acres each to 1926
families who are desired to assist
in the various activities on the SUI

Hawaii exports over $25,000,000
worth of sugar to the United States
every year and sends out a consid-

which 100000 worth comes from
