ABsURDIrIEs OF CHINESE LANGUAGE

ABSURDITIES OF CHINESE LANGUAGE
A traveller recently returned from
an extensive tour of China confdes
to the current Harper's Weekly some
entertaining views upon the language
of that country.
"It is absolutely impossible" he
writes, "to conceive of nation
speaking as many dialects as you will
find in China A foreigners ability
to speak Chinese is a practictically
worthless requirement, as about every
Is miles the dialect changes to such
an extent as to be practically another
language, and even if you are speak
ing the best mandarin-the court lam
guage-you are quite apt to be told
that your honorable foreign language
is not understood. Even the govern
ors of the provinces have to employ
interpreters to communicate with the
people they govern.
sit is a common joke among for
eigners in China that the natives al
ways indicate by signs what they in
tend to converse about before begin
ming falkland this is a joke with
quite a grain of truth in it"

A CHICKEN CRAMMrNG MACHINE
Apparatus for Fattening Fowls Used
by Minnesota Farmer.

Apparatus for Fattening Fowls Used
by Minnesota Farmer.
The chicken was rather stringy and
tough.
Chicken will continue to be stringy
and tough" said the Minnesota chick
en- farmer, "untl the examining ma
chine is universally adopted.
"There is only one way-and It's a
cruel way-to have perfectly tender
and delicious chicken. That is to pen
the birds up month before killing
them, give them no exercise, and feed
them with a examining machine.
"This machine is mounted, usually,
on a wheelbarrow. Its hopper con-
tains the feed, rich mixture of milk,
fat and ground oats. Attached to the
hopper is a flexible rubber tube and
hand-pump.
"The farmer, at feeding time, wheels
the machine to the house where the
chickens are confined, takes the birds
up one by one, shoves the end of the
tube three inches down the throat, and
pumps in food until. the crop is fill
ed.
"The chickens squawk and struggle.
They don't like to eat that way. In
fact, they loathe the very sight of the
examining machine.
"But the main thing is that, thanks
to their confinement and to the hated
examining machine, the birds eat the
greatest possible amount of food and
take the least possible amount of ex-
ercise, putting on healthy fat, and de-
veloping a tenders hne-grained flesh,
in manner impossible to the ordi-
nary barnyard, hnstling, strenuous
chicken"

Modest Claims Often Carry the Most
Conviction.

When Maxim, the famous gun in
ventor. placed his gun before com
mittee of judges, he Stated its carry
ing powers to be much below what he
felt sure the gun would accomplish.
The result of the trial was therefore
a great surprise, instead of disap-
nointment. It is the same with the
manufacturers of Chamberlain's Col
ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
They do not publicly boast OF all this
remedy will accomplish, but prefer to
let the users make the statements;
What they do claim is that it will
positively cure diarrhoea, dysentery,
mains in the stomach and bowels and
has never been known to fail. For

ing visible, with the exception of a
slight cut over the nose, which has not
as yet grown together.
viii Probably Meet
Many there are. who labor under an
opinion that O'Brien is not anxious to
meet Burns second time. Another
guess is coming, for if the true state of
affairs were known O'Brien has wild
to get Tommy between the
ropes. At that it is probable there will
be difficulty in arranging terms, as
O'Brien is Of an opinion that Burns
did several things which should not
have been tolerated.
In any event there is every reason to
believe that the two will come together
again. The outlook does not appear so
hopeless as when negotiations first be-
gan previous to their recent battle.
A bitter argument may occur regard
ing clauses to be inserted in articles of
agreement, but the barrel of money in
sight for both men can hardly be over
looked. "a
Burns declares that should he not
come to terms of agreement with
O'Brien he will give Bill Squires, the
heavyweight, first chance.

ably be close.
Jersey Lady has a very good chance,
as she is very speedy and just about
needed her last race to put her in
winning form.
Colonel Jack won his only two starts
here in easy fashion, but never beat
much. Judge Treen has shown himself
a very clever youngster and will he
close up at the finish. El Cazador is
the only one outside of those mentioned
that has a chance. Should finish: Jer-

RIDERS STILL
A LAP BEHIND
By A associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Walthour
and Bedell seem unable to make up
the lap they are behind the other
twelve teams in the six-day bicycle
race at Madison Square garden. This
may be due in a measure to the fact
that for the last twenty hours Bedell
has been suffering from Indigestion so
that his stomach has not been able to
retain solid food.
Today Bedell felt better and was
able to eat chop.
Walthour and Bedell twice during
last night set the crowd wild with de-
termined sprints to gain the lap and
once early today they nearly succeed
ed. Bedell started the squirt and
gained nearly quarter of lap; then
Walthour picked up his mate and
continued the race. But just as it
seemed as if he would catch the fly
ing bunch ahead of him HOLSTERS
wheel wobbled and Root ran into
him, causing a spill.
Under the rules governing a fall,
Walthour's effort did not count and
he gave up the attempt for the time.
At a. m. the twelve leading teams
had scored 1919 miles and seven laps,
and Walthour and Bedell one lap less.
This is nearly seventy-four miles be-

title of my book: and the opening SEN

idea that / had worked over so long,

PLAN OF THE SELF-SPACING FRAME.
of Gleanings in Bee Culture frankly
declares he does not like it, saying:
I believe it is always a mistake to
have the spacing in the hive-rabbet.
The free lateral movement back and
forth, of frames, where the spacers
are on the frames themselves, is a
feature we can not afford to sacrifice.
Your frame would be far better, in my
opinion, if you would use the spacing
button (same as you have at the bot
tomb at the top also. Such frame
would not be bad one to handle.
This exact form of frame was made
the subject of a patent a number of
years ago, but believe the patent has
run out.
There is another objection to your
notched rabbet that occurs to me; and
that is, in moving bees your frames
would be liable to hop out of the
notches, making very unequal spacing
at the top. When the spacers are on
the end-bars or top-bars the frames
always have to be just so far apart

SLIPS OF SCIENCE.

Electric sparks are always obtained
from kites reaching height of a
quarter of mile and increase as the
kites go higher.
Gold is one of the most difficult
metals to vaporize, but by the use
of the electric furnace it can readily
be set boiling at the temperature of
about 4,400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Careful tests made in a German
well which has been drilled more than
a mile into the earth show that the
average rise in temperature is about
one degree Fahrenheit for every SIS

The iridescent colors in what is
called peacock coal" are due to the
presence of film of iron oxide. 1t
usually means the loss of part of the
volatile matter in the coal and be-
tokens inferior quality.
DR.. Gustave LIE Bon, of Paris, has
reached the conclusion that matter
finally passes away by spontaneous
changes in its molecules, as illustrat-
ed in the electrons of radium. and
that the result of these changes is
substances which are intermediary
between ponderable bodies and inn
ponderable ether
