ment which is going on here demands
that trade be freed from their taxes.
1t Is only on account Of the duties
having been comparatively light that
an cutlery has not arisen long before
this. The administration of Mukde
the capital of Manchuria; is one Of the
most progressive of the Chinese ern-
pire, and the army connected with it
is especially we'll drilled. The coun-
try could be policed as far as the main
trade routes are concerned, and his
will probably be done within a short
ume If the government once puts it's
foot dow and insists that the Huang
HOutzes be destroyed, an end will
soon be made to these raids and the
b~rigands. with the exception Of those
in the mountain districts, will disap-
pear.
During my stay in Korea the mill
tary officials told me that their chief
oub is not with the insurgents but
with some Korean brigands~ who are
much like the Huang Houtzes. They
nave their homes in the mountains
and sally out to prey upon the viii
lagos. These Korean brigands are
supposed to number Il 5000: and they
have one chief who is practically the
head Of the who'll The Japanese SOL
diers are policing the mountainous
districts, and they are killing these
brigands wherever they find them. A
similar policy is bound to be insti-
tuted in Manchuria. The Chinese
government is nnw sending emigrants
into the country north of Mukden,
and it expects to open up much Of
its rich government lands to settle
ment. Mining concessions have been
granted to foreigners, and the Japa-
nese are insisting that the country be
made peaceful. Above his and more
important than all, is the very gem
eral desire on the part of the men
Wro are running the Chinese govern
ment to introduce western
and the new civilization. SO that al
together. it would seem that the
Huang Houtze, powerful as he is to-
day., Is doomed to soon disappear.

Edison was asked what part he be-
lieved necessity played in INVENTION
whether human needs. even though a
people were unconscious of them-did
not act upon inventive minds, squirting
them on.
He didn't think so. He said nobody
was clamOring for a better light than
gaslightSwhen he invented the electric
light. He simply saw that gaslight was
poor and wasteful.
"Ninety-seven per cent of the energy
that is used to make electric light is
also wasted" he added, but it's q bet
ter light than gas can give"
While Edison was setting forth his
views in opposition to the ~aeroplane

to explain why he had gone out Of his
sphere, SO to speak, to criticise the
plan of a continuance that can actually

ROOSEVELT FoREsEEs DANGER
Tells Senator Flint There May Be an
Open Rupture With Japan.

Washington, D. C.-There is no
longer any doubt that grave danger
exists of war with Japan. President
Roosevelt in the White House plainly
informed Senator Flint, of California,
that unless the anti-Japanese meas
ures before the California Legislature
we're killed there probably would be
an open rupture between the two
countries. The President and Secre-
tary Root, in conferences with Flint,
Senator Fulton, of Oregon, and Rep
resentatives in Congress from both
California and Oregon, made no at
tempt to conceal their keen uneasi-
ness over the situation, and the i'm
perative need for not provoking Jap
anese resentment.
1t is said that the President now
regrets the shifting of the battleship
fleet back to the Atlantic seaboard,
and looks upon it as tactical mis-
take to have left the Pacific Coast
with only cruiser squadron.

Destruction Caused by Rats.

Consul Maxwell Blake sends from
Dunfermline an extract from Scotch
newspaper on the destruction caused
by rats, as brought out by a deputa-
ton from the Incorporated Society
for the Destruction of Vermin.
Headed by Sir James Crichton
Browne and the Duke of Bedford,
they waited upon Lord Darlington at
the offices of the Board of Agricul-
ture to urge him to appoint a COM
mission to inquire into the subject of
the destruction caused to crops by
rats. The extract reads: "The depu-
tation pointed out the enormous dam
age done by rats, which amounts, on
a most moderate computation, to
G15,00O,000 per annum in Great
Britain. This is arrived at by allow
ing only one rat to cultivated acre
of ground Assuming that each rat
does damage to the extent of one
farthing a day, this works out on the
forty million acres of land at the
figure mentioned. Sir James erich
ton Browne incidentally stated that
two million people died of plague in
India, and said it had been proved
that the rat was the chief cause of
the spread of infection. 1t was also
stated that the expenditure on rat
poisons in the United Kingdom
amounts to G250,000 per annum.
which is considered many times more
than would be required properly to
exterminate the vermin If the cam
paign were systematically conduct.

Child Dies of Injury.

Word was received at Woodstown
of the death in the Pennsylvania Hos
pital, Philadelphia, Pa, of ten-year-
old Maud Plat, as a result of injuries
received while at play in the public
school yard at Woodstown a month
ago. The child was roughly bumped
by a little boy, and so severely in
iured about the abdomen that peri
tonitis developed. The case was
called to the attention of the Board
of Education, but the boy is so small,
and as there was evidently no inten-
ton to injure, he was let off with
reprimand. The little girl was an or

Hot Foods Hurt Our Teeth.

There is no doubt that most people
ruin their teeth and digestive system
by taking food at too high tempera-
ture. One can not get into hot bath
if it is over 112 degrees; los degrees
is dangerous, and even 100 degrees is
warm. But from experiments made
it appears that we eat meat at lis
degrees temperature, beans at 1872
degrees, potatoes at $50 degrees. The
average temperature of tea is 1875 de-
grees, and it may be slipped, but can
not be swallowed in large quantities
if it exceeds 142 degrees.

Bill Passes Stopping Manufacture

MODIFYING MOTIONS DEFEATED
The New Law Aims to Put Out of
Business Every DistiIlery and
Brewery in the State - All
Amendments Rejected.

Nashville, Tenn.-The prohibition
question in Tennessee was practically
settled when the House passed the bill
prohibiting the manufacture of intox-
icating liquors in this State by vote
of sixty to thirty-six. The measure
had passed the Senate, and if vetoed
by Governor Patterson, there is no
question of its passage over the veto
The Statewide bill, dealing only
with the licensing Of saloons and pro-
hibiting the sale of liquors, had
passed over the Governors veto pre-
viously. That law is now on the stat
utes, and is effective on July /, 1909,
While the manufacturers law will be
effective on January /, 1910.
The new law is aimed to put out of
business every distillery and brewery
in the State of Tennessee.
The consideration of the bill pre-
cipitated debate which began at
noon and lasted until nearly O'Clock
"a debate SO singing that even the
Speaker of the House, Hilleman Tay-
lor, saw proper to take the floor in
behalf of his position.
Frank S. Garden and w. B. Cleage,
Representatives from Hamilton Coun-
ty. vigorously arraigned the State
wide leaders. Mr.. Garden made an
eloquent appeal for fairness and JUS
the Governor for his manly stand and
to pay his respects to the newborn
converts to prohibition and the Dem
Speaker Taylor declared that he
was perfectly satisfied with his Dem
ocracy, and maintained, in opposition
not confiscatory.
During his speech he was freq mt
ly applauded. but it is to his credit
that the conduct of the galleries dur
ing the entire proceedings was highly
respectful, and. with the exception of
applause, which was rarely ever ex-
cessiye, excellent order was main
tanned
An amendment, offered by Mr.. Car
den, providing for the appointment
of commission composed of the
Governor, the treasurer and the con-
troller, whose duty it would be to APP
praise the confiscated property and
assess the damages that would accrue
to the distillers and brewers by rea-
son of the passage of the bill, was
voted down by practically the same
vote recorded on the final passage of
the bill An amendment offered by
Mr.. Wisemen extending the time UNI
til January /, 1911, was also tabled.
Every member of the House who
voted for the Statewide saloon meas
ure voted with the State-widers on
the manufacturing bill with the ex-
ception of two. Three members of
the House were absent--Mr. Worley,
DR.. Horne and Mr.. Hannah, who have
not qualified.
