cHINA'S OPIUM CROP.
1t Has Crowded out the Raising of
Grain and Vegetables.

No one knows how much opium was
grown in China last year, says Samuel
Merwin In Success. There are estimates
official, missionary, consular; and they dis
agree by thousands, and tens of thousands
of tons. But 1t is known that where the
delicate poppy is reared II demands, and re-
ceives, the best land. 1t thrives In the
rich river bottoms. IT has crowded out
grain and vegetables wherever II has
spread. and has thus become a contributing
factor to famines. Its product. opium, has
run over China like a black wave. leaving
behind II a misery of darkness. a desolation
that has struck even the Chinese. even Its
victims, with horror. China has passed
laws of trade had chosen TO turn capr1cious-
Nv from their memorable business and
wreak a grim joke on a PROSTATE race. the
solution. the great step, has failed in its
purpose. The trade in indian OPIUM mas
heen hurt. to be sure, but not ~supplanted.
1t never will be supplanted until the Brit
ish Government deliberately puts II down.
For the Chinese cannot raise opium which
oompetes in quality with the Indian drug.
Indian opium is In steady demand for the
purpose Of mixing with Chinese opium. No
duties can keep ii out; duties simply in-
crease the cost to the Chinese consumer,
simply ruin him n bit more rapidly. SO
authoritative an expert as Sir Robert Hart,
director of the Chinese imperial customs,
had hopes thai the great step would prove
effective. In These from the Land OF
sinim'' he has expressed this hope;
Your legalized opium has been a curse
in every province 1t penetrates. ana your
refusal to limit or decrease the import has
forced us to attempt a dangerous remedy
we have legalized native o~p.un-not be
canse we approve of 1t, but to compel
with and drive out the foreign drug; and

We may yet read penny-dreadfud ac-

MEANING OF LOVE.
Looking at It in the Light of the New
Biology.

From the earliest period of human
history to which authentic records go
back, the sentiment of romantic love
seems to have dominated human rela-
tions. 1t was not simply one of a num-
Der of influences in life. Romantic love
seems to have been the dominant con-
sideration of human existence. From a
purely scientific standpoint, therefore,
this sentiment must have been, from
h first, of overshadowing importance
in the evolution of biological man-of
man, hat Is, as a cellular organism,
quite regardless of man as a moral
being. This would be proved beyond
cavil by the existence of the equivalent
of romantic love among the lower or
ganisms. Now, it has beer suggested
by SO eminent an authority as Darwin
himself that this equivalent of the SEN
timent of romantic love exists among
animals and among birds. This is an
important deduction from the charac-
ter of hat struggle among the males
for the possession of the females to
which Darwin attaches such impor-
lance.
The struggle in question leads to an
other-a contest among the females for
possession of the available male. To
describe the nature of that contest
wholly different from the equivalent
competition among the males-some
biological psychologists have employed
the term charm" The males strug-
Cling among themselves for possession
of the female employ brutal means
tooth, tusk, beak. claw. "Those who
have closely attended to birds in con-
flnement we'll know that they often
take individual preferences and dis
likes" The same fact has been OBJ
served among female wolves. Darwin
instances a peacock of a particular
color that proved 'eminently attrac-
tive" to all the female birds. This COM
petition of the females for h male
who conquers in the battle of sex is
noticed by Darwin more than once.
Successive male birds display their
pIumage in its most gorgeous array
and perform extraordinary antics be-
fore the females. This, however, is
only preliminary to another struggle
of sex. The females, standing by as
spectators, are not merely passive.
They are, each in her way, exerting an
influence with the intention of becom-
ing the special object of an individual
males choice.
Now, what is the consideration deter
mining the victorious male, emerging
from the combat, say, of the rutting
season among deer or of the mating
season among wolves and rock
thrushes, to select one female rather
than another among the several at his
disposal?
Charm.
This word to describe the female
function during the interval from the
first struggle among the males to the
contamination of mating seems to be
gaining favor among biologists, or per-
haps it would be better to say among
evolutionary biologists. For the func-
ton of the female, so far as she is
concerned with the outcome of the
sexual struggle among the males of
her species, is to Charm Current

REBATE DECISION UPHELD.
Court Fined Western Road for FavOring
Shippers.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Nov. 9.-In a decision
filed Yesterday the United States Circait
Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment
entered by the United States Circuit Court
for the Western Division of Missouri
against the Burlington Railroad for grant
ing rebates on lard shipped from Kansas
City, KAN, to New York and Hoboken.
The railroad company was charged with
having violated the Elkins law by grant
ing the big packers rebates on 21,567
pounds of lard shipped from Kansas City
to ST. Louis over the Burlington and from
ST. Louis east over the Toledo, st. Louis
n Western and connections to the At
lantic coast and destined eventually for
foreign points.
1t was asserted that the railroad gave
the packers a rebate of u cents a hundred
pounds.
