cHINA's GREAT WALL.
Il Was Undoubtedly the Work Of =
Real Genius.


The Great Wall is often stigma
tiled as a monument of human
shortsightedness and folly by many
who are willing to rhapsodize over
the Great Pyramid. A great archi-
tectural work the pyramid was not.
Il was simply a stone tumulus, and
everything goes to prove that it
was nothing more than a superla-
tive mausoleum, monument of the
vanity of the monarch who was en-
tombed beneath it, and considered
either as mere bulk or as an engi-
neering feat it sinks into utter in
significance beside the Great Wall.
a work of vast practical utility.
1t is in fact the Great Wall more
than anything which stamps its
founder for all time for what he
was-a man of the highest order of
genius, possibly the greatest genius
who has borne sway on the earth.
The Chinese of the second century
B. c., like the Romans of the first,
had arrived at a critical stage in
the course of their development,
and each nation succeeded in pro-
ducing a hero at the right moment
to lead it to the accomplishment of
its destiny. The prescience with
which Julius Caesar, confronted
with the problem of finding a suita-
bic defensive frontier for the Ro-
man empire, solved it by the occu-
patton of the line of the Rhine is
rightly considered as one of the
chief reasons for his pre-eminent
place in the worlds history. The
guarded river that the genius of
the great dictator had made the
frontier of the Roman empire was
the terminus of barbarism for near
ly five centuries. Chi Huang Ii
was confronted with the same prob
lem. He solved it with equal pre-
science and greater success by an
inspiration of genius unparalleled
In history. Where nature had placed
no barrier he reared an artificial
one, and for ten centuries the
northern barbarians pressing down
from the great central tableland
strove in vain to burst through the
bulwarks which he had interposed
between their ravening hordes and
the rich plains of China.
Probably the Great Wall was
more formidable obstacle to the
barbarians of central Asia than the
Rhine to the Germanic hordes of
Europe. 1t was at once a well de-
fined frontier, a magnificent mill
tary road and an impregnably in
trenched picket line along the Dor
der. The towers were probably all
occupied by pickets and commune
cation maintained by cavalry pa
trolls, a very easy matter on the
platforms of the wall. The gates
were doubtless strongly garrlSOned,
and at strategic points along the
wall and to its rear bodies of field
troops collected in permanent for
tresses and intrenchcd camps. The
wall itself was a formidable obsta-
Gle to a band of marauders. If they
succeeded in scaling it there still
remained the nearly insuperable
difficulty of bringing across their
horses, and a Tartar without his
horse is well nigh helpless. Did a
stronger force make an attack it
must still have been an easy matter
to concentrate on the threatened
point before the invaders could
pass in any numbers. - Edward
Foord in Contemnorarv Review

Fishing Season Opened Tuesday.
Some lmoor,ani Provisions CT New Fish Code
of1909.

The fishing season opened OH
Tuesday. In view Of the various
changes. made in the fish laws by
the act of May /, 1909, it would
be well for every fisherman 10 pro-
cure copy Of the new fish code
and make it a careful study.
A few OF the most important pro-
visions of the new law are here set
forth.
Among the fish that come in are
black bass, Susquehanna salmon,
perch and pickerel. All kinds OF
fish are in at this season. Brook
trout will go out OH July 3Ist.
THE LENGTH OF FISH.
1t shall be unlawful to catch aud
kill or have in possession any white
bass, rock bass, trout or yellow
perch less than six inches in length;
any black bass, small mouthed bass,
or large mouthed bass less than
eight inches in length; or any blue
pike or Susquehanna salmon or any
pickerel less than twelve inches in
length. Measurement to be made
from the tip of the nose to the tip
of the tail.
NUMBER THAT MAY BE CAUGHT.
1t shall be unlawful for any one
person to catch, kill or have in
possession, the same being killed,
more than forty trout, or more
than twelve small or large mouthed
bass, or more than twenty-five
rock bass, white bass, pickerel or
Susquehanna salmon.
Unfortunately the opening of the
season does not find fishing condi-
tions very good. AS result of the
rains the river is rather higher than
desirable.

John Robinson Coming.
A Big menagerie.

The John Robinson Shows carry
a large amount of live stock. Horses
numbering 800 have to be cared for
every day. 1t takes tons of proven
der to feed these horses and the
menagerie.
The animals of the renagerie
are generally of the most interest.
The hardest and longes. lived and
most intelligent is said TO be the
elephant. Some of the largest of
this show are used TO push the
heavy wagons and cages about the
''lot" when the show is setting up.
One morning an elephant became
enraged at his driver and wheeled
quickly and struck at the man with
his trunk. The beady eyes of the
animal glistened as he trumpeted
his anger. The keeper lashed the
Dig brute with his whip and sub
dued him without any damage
being done. Had the man been hit
by the blow it would have killed
him. When an elephant gets so
bad that he is dangerous the own
ers have the animal killed, and a
substitute takes his place, although
the killing of an elephant means a
loss Of several thousand dollars.
The most delicate animal is the
giraffe. They take cold easily, and
often die o. hasty- consumption.
Seals are hardy. but they are diff
cult to train. Probably the hardest
animal to train in the world is the
African zebra. They will not give
up to man. They will be killed
before they will obey. Sometimes
hybrids are seen, and they resemble
the full blooded animal.
The Robinson Shows carry
everything that can be found in
good-sized city. With the aggrega::
tion is a blacksmith, a barber, har-
nessmaker, two painters. gilders
cooks, bakers, electricians, minis
ter, the shows own attorney, and
its two veterinary doctors, beside
its own family physician.
Not many shows carry their Own
electric light plant. This is a feature
OF the Robinson Shows. and the big
tent i, as light as day within. Line
men are employed to keep the plant
in running order.
No one who is not in touch with
the show can form any idea Of the
enormity of it. 1t IS small city in
itself, constantly on the move, but
with all kinds of methodical provis-
ions for its running.
Two exhibits are given daily,
rain or shine, and in case OF incle-
ment weather, waterproof tents in
sure ample protection and comfort.
The big shows will be seen here
at Bloomsbury Monday June 81.

Falling Birth Rate.
Decline in This Country in the Last Century
and lis Causes.

The chief clerk CT the Census
Bureau, w. S. Rossiter, reports an
extraordinary decline in the birth
rate during the last century.
At the census nearest TO 1900 the
ratio Of children to each woman I6
years of age and over was a scant
one, instead of two in 1890. In
Great Britain the ratio was one, in
France s., in the German Empire
IL ard in Italy IL.
Since the United States,
although aided by large numbers
of immigrants from all parts OF the
world, is now maintaining a ratio
OF children to females 10 years OF
age and over practically the same
as that shown by those of the lead
ing nations OF Europe" he says,
Il, is clear that population condi-
tions in the Republic are tending
to become more like those in othe-
civilized countries.
The proportion shown for FIVE
of the New England States and for
New York is the same, or nearly
the same as the lowest European
ratio, that Of france. This is due
to various causes, such as the ten
dency Of population toward the city
from the country, the gradual
adoption Of apartments as homes,
the more exhausting struggle for
existence in large cities, etc.
"One- half OF the white population
of the country is composed either
OF foreign-born persons or the
native. bora children OF foreign
parents. This class Of citizens is
found almost entirely in the New
England States and the middle
West, the South having kept its
individuality OF race. In the Middle
and New England States the foreign
population formed in 1900 more
than half Of the whole white popu-
lation, or 5Is in every 1000. In
the Southern States foreign citizens,
or children born here of foreign
parents, were only 79 in every
1000"
In the early days, says the Post
Graduate, the country was occupied
almost entirely by the English
(s3.5 per cent. }, who with the
Irish and Scotch made more than
90 per cent, the Germans having
less than 6 per cent. and the Dutch
only per cent. There IS little diff
ference in the population Of the
sexes. In 1890 the male population
was 500 per cent. and the female
49.I per cent. The figures in 1900
were 5o.7 per cent. male and 1913
per cent. female.
