A BIG CONTRIBUTION
TO AR|z0NAS TREASURY
More Than $4,000, Tax on Insurance
Premiums.

Territorial Secretary Page yesterday

a check for $3O.S3O and some cents, the
amount of taxes on insurance premi-

the amount of the premiums paid was
in excess of a million and a half, a
much larger sum than would have
been supposed.
This amount of more than thirty
thousand dollars is clear gain to the
territory. Its collection has not cost
a cent, so that the office Of the secre-

upon the taxpayers, as was frequently
limited in the course Of the late legis-

territorial taxes was not mentioned

Such as passed expected to go to further
examinations at Peking, where, If sue

but the viceroy has decreed that they
are to be demolished, and he will build
"a great public market house upon the

no longer. The new education demands
modern school buildings, and the old Chi

In addition to this there are powder mills

how. when the late emperor was buried,
the government sent out geomancers to
pick out a lucky site for his tomb. No
sensible Chinese would rest in his grave If
1t were not so selected; and In building a
house or making a new town for the living
these men are called in to pick out the
sites.
In such work the geomancers do their
best to find a spot connected with a dragon.
OF all the animals the Chinese consider
this the most lucky. 1t forms the imperial
coat of arms, it is seen upon the triangu-
lar imperial flag and it brings good for

cording to the Celestial belief the dragon
can do anything. 1t can swell itself into
an elephant or shrink to a gnat When an
eclipse is expected the astrologers tell the
people that the dragon is about to attempt
to swallow the moon. and the emperor
thereupon sends forth an edict command

was actually the case a few months ago

wireless tor Alr.hIps

A system of wireless signalling for air
ships has been invented by DIR. Friedrich
Lux, The idea Of the inventor states the
Electrical Engineer, Is that all airships
should be equipped with a receiving APP
paTatus which will weigh only six pounds,
and that wireless signalling stations should
be equipped all over the country at about
fifty kilometres apart. At intervals of
five minutes these signal stations should
send out wireless messages by which they
could be Identified and aviators Informed
of their whereabouts. A combination OF a
few letters would, it is suggested, be sur
ficient to distinguish one station from an
other; and by the increasing or decreasing
strength Of the electric impulse the aviator
could tell whether he was approaching or
receding from a particular station. An
