One Of the surprising revelations of
the day IS the nFogress that the English
Language isimaking in the oldest and
most conservative countries In the
world chinH and Japan. It's spread in
China Is greatly. favored by the crude
and semi-hzrbafous condition OF the
language and writing there. In spite OF
our belief thst tie Chinese are highly
civilized. highlyreducated people. they
more nearly that Of Egypt and Babylon
thousands Of years ago: that is, there
is small ,edueated class which can
read their hfghfy-complex and artificial
system OF writing, while the great mass
Of the people speak q confusing mix
ture Of tongues, and are only educated
in being able to read certain arbitrary
signs which represent to them ideas;
that Is. their so-called alphabet is not
an alphabet at ALL but merely signs
taken to. represent things, acts and
ideas. When, therefore. a man reads
this he gives the names Of those objects
In his own peculiar local dialect. What
he says may not be ineligible to an
other Chinaman living only 10 miles
away. Every little village In China has
its own local dialect, and the people a
few score miles apart speak tongues
more different from one another than
the languages Of Europe. The foreign
ers say that two Cinnamon must first
indicate by signs or gestures what they
<oll oh
begin to understand what they are say
ing to each other. Even the Mandarin
language, which is that Of the educated
classes, is SO inexact and vague that an
official dispatch or private commune
cation may mean something different
one who sent 1t. In no place in China
does the same language prevail for more
than Is miles. Every Chinese Governor
or other official must have with him
local interpreters for every little group
of people with whom he deals. Conse-
quentfy no foreigner ever masters Chi
nese. and but few ever master any one
important dialect China cannot ad-
vance in civilization or develop any
great trade without having some COM
mon language, and since seems hope
less to have such a thing Of Chinese
origin the next best thing to do is to
learn English, and this the young Chi
nese are doing. ALI classes are finding
It to their advantage to master Eng
fish, and the same Is true I'm Japan. A
house boy who understands English
will get $14 Mexican or Sc gold per
month, while one who cannot speak
English gets. only So Mexican Or $3.50
gold. Thiso difference extends to all
manner OBJ employment. A Chinese
clerk can pc, hired for SIS gold per
month. wheneaSone who can write and
speak English will get $75.. Therefore,
everywhere EVEN the porters. coolies
and tnrskiafay men are found eagerly
studying EnGiish primers.

The growth of the young agles was
very slow. but steady. Fifteen days
after our last visit we found that the
stiff. black feathers were beginning to
push their way through the thick coat
of white down, and the eaglets took on
a mottled appearance.
When we again started up the noun

the hills. We could hardly climb in
the teeth OF the gale. 1 can never for

through the last fields of standing
grain. The wind cracked and lashed
the tall stalks till it seemed we were
in the midst of raging waters. From
the ridge we sat and watched the
enormous sifvery serpents that wrig-
gled up and down through the stand
ing grain as gust after gust swept
along the slope. Where the hay had
been cut and shocked along the steep
sides the gale created havoc by scat
tering it broadcast down the mountain
side. But the most difficult task was

Our work at the eagles nest illus
trates well the necessity of good
series of lenses when one is photo
graphing in the treetops. The camera
was fastened in a crotch in an ad-
joining tree twenty feet from the nest
where it could not be moved forward
or back. BY adjusting the wide-angle
lens, we could get a view of the nest
and surrounding limbs. and at the same
time have depth of focus that showed
the outline Of the valley lying miles
below. BY the use of the regular lens
the nest was brought nearer the cam I
era and still the sweep of the rocky
side Of the canyon was retaineds The
single rear lens gave a different pic
ture, narrowed down to the outer end
of the large limb containing the nest.
Our telephoto lens had the power Of
bringing the nest as close as we cared
TO photograph it, covering the full size
of a 5xT plate and giving a clear
definition of the lining of the nest.
Photography In Tree-tops.
One cannot help feeling the dangers
of climbing about the limbs of tail

narrowly escaped an expensive acci-
dent We were hosting our cameras

for such an emergency, and as the cam

The pair of great eagles were in
separable and they generally hunted
together. For days before the mother
Graded her eggs they sat for hours
at a time close together on a great limb
near the aerie. They had several such
favorite perches where they sat and
watched the mountain sides for food
These were far up the slope, where
they could look off over the whole
sweep of the ridge.
The fog was hanging heavy and
wet as we climbed slowly up the

We found the golden eagle a valu-
able inhabitant OF any cattle range or
farming community. His food con-
sists almost entirely of the ground

the California hills and cause such
damage in the grain fields. Once when
we looked into the nest we found the
remains Of the bodies Of four sQuir-
rels lying on its rim. At each visit we
examined the food remains about the
nest, and I am sure that a very large
amount OF the eagles food. II not all.
consisted OF squirrels. The hills in
many places were full of their bur
rows and the eagles seemed to have
regular watch towers on the high
rocks about. from which they swooped
down on their prey. If 1t were not
for the birds of prey about these hiIly
districts some of the places would
surely be overrun with harmful crea-
lures of the ground.

from the color OF snowy white. They
lay crouched in the nest, clumsy in
body, and watched us angrily with their
wild dark eyes. They resented nv
company when I climbed into the nest

them. At that time they were not
strong enough to offer much resistance:
