ChInese Jews.

American interest in China since
the Boxer rebellion has extended to
the Chinese Jews, who settled at
Kaifungfu during the Han dynasty,
that ruled China from 200 B. G. to 200
A. d. The Kaifungfu colony is mem
toned occasionally by European trav-
elers, among them Marco Polo In the
fourteenth century, while in 1000 and
1904 they were visited by Jesuit mis-
sionaries. To-day, according to Al
fred X. Glover, writing in the Over
land Monthly for May, the Chinese
Jews are almost extinct, but their rec
ords and historical tablets are care
fully preserved.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and 1neness Of the fabric Is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys tie
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great.
er strength than other makes.

WONDERS BELOW ZERO.
Fascinating Experiments With Sub
stances Submitted TO Intense Cold.

Experiments with substances sub
m1tted to an intense degree of cold
several hundred degrees below Fahren-
heit-have developed many scientific
wonders
Formerly. for instance, but few
substances were known to possess the
curious property of phOSphorescence
but one of Uncle Sans scientists has

or. in other words. shines in the dark
after being exposed to an intense light
Even the air itself is phosphorescent
at such a temperature, but, curious
enough, slight impurity in the air

phOrescent property. If perfumed
handkerchief is shaken in a room. for
instance, and then the air from that
room Is inclosed in a tube and its
temperature IS lowered to the required
degree. no phosphorescence appears
The air must be filtered. and thus
freed from organic substances and
from hydrogen in order that the phe-
nOmena of phOSphOreSceuce. which is
akin to it. may be produced.
Among the substances which have
been phOsphOrCscent at low tempera-
lures are ivory. horn. eggs. gelatine,
India rubber spOnges. albumen. milk,
leather. cotton. tortoise shell and Ger
tain flowers The metals also exhibit
sphorescence. but il is thought
that this is due to an organic layer
on their surface. because when they
have become scOrched they lose their
phOsphOTescent power
Experience demonstrates that the
more complex the chemical constitu-
ton of a body is. the more intense its
phophorescence The reason sug-
gested for this is that the structure
of a complex body offers special faciI-
tiles for the absorption of the vibra-
ton of light.
In fact. these experiments have
shown so many surprising results that
highly important questions as to the
nature of matter and the constitution
of the universe have been suggested by
them 1t has even been asked. for
example. whether some of the stars.
which We have been accustomed to re-
gard as fiereely blazing suns. may not

SENSE OF SIGHT IN ANTS.
Experiments Indicating That They
Don't Depend on Smell.

The old theor- that ants could not
see and were guided entirely by sense
of smell has been demolished by a
series of experiments A little plat
form of cardboard was set up near one
of their nests. with an inclined plane
leading conveniently down TO the en-
trance Then q number of insects
and a quantity of their eggs were plac-
ed upon the platform
For a few minutes the ants seemed
greatly perturbed. but they very soon
found the inclined plane and at once
started carrying the eggs down 1t to
the nest
a second inclined plane was located
on the opposite side of the platform.
but they took no notice of it. The
experimenters then twisted the plat
form around so that the second plane
pointed to the nest entrance
Without hesitation the ants ceased
using the old plane and took TO the
new one, showing conclusively. 1t Is
argued. that they were not follow
ing a trail BY scent but were getting
their bearings by some other sense
The next step was TO mark some OF
the ants with a view Of seeing whether
each individual always used the same
path and the same entrance to his
nest 1t was found that no such thing
was the case.
They all seemed to know all the
entrances and to have a sense of their
direction They struck out new paths
TOT themselves ana always Eedc1IeU

was regarded as establishing some
form of vision.
Finally. an electric light bulb was
set UP near one entrance TO the nest
1t seemed to have an Immediate at
