paradise.
Soon the Yosemite will be full to
overlooking with campers. The over
flow will naturally seek the Hetch
Hetchy, for it is at the focus of all
trails connecting the high mountains
with the loWlands and the north with
the south.
The Yosemite National park was
created in 1890 that the nation might
have for all time preserved in it's
primeval wildness not only the Yose-
mite but the TuOumne watershed.
The Yosemite was already state
park, and was protected as such. and
the primal reason for creating a ma
tional reserve was to protect the
Tuolumne meadows and Hetch
Hetchy valley from invasion by cattle
and sheep men and from corporations
and individuals who might file claims
upon this land for speculative pur-
poses.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-17

San Francisco now would have the
Hetch Hetchy as a water site. She
would install a monster dam and con-
vert the entire floor of the valley into
a vast reservoir. She would destroy
absolutely this second Yosemite, for
she would not alone claim the floor of
the valley, but would have the whole
Tuolumne watershed, which reaches
even into the Yosemite park.
Camping anywhere in the Hetch
Hetchy valley would be absolutely out
of the question, for the dangers of
communicating the water would lead
the city not only to exclude campers
from the immediate neighborhood, but
from the entire watershed, comprising
some 500 square miles in area and in
cluding almost half of what is now
within the Yosemite National park.
Picture what would be the result of
damming the Hetch Hetchy! The wa
ter would back up about seven miles.

valley and into the lower end of the
TuOlumne gorge.
The water level would not remain
constant through the year, and as it
receded in the fall would leave areas
of barren. slime-covered flats and de-
caying vegetation. All the magnifi
cent forests of incense cedars and
pines would either have to be re-
moved or left standing dead-a pleas
ing sight to the eye!
The engineers argue that there
would be a beautiful lake there, with
perhaps a passenger boat on it. I'm
agine how beautiful it would be to pay
your fare and ride out upon the boat

If you will look upon the map you

missed by the Chinaman or a brace,
only one of which can be fired at, the
hawk is at once loosed and pheasant
and hawk disappear together. The
hunter reloads and follows and finds
the hawk by means Of a small bell at
tached to its back probably sitting on
a rock or tree stump.
He then sends his dog in to put up
the pheasant, which is invariably hid
ing in a thick bit Of cover within few
yards Of the hawk. AS long as the
hawk is sitting there the poor bird will
neither run nor fly, and thus falls an
easy victim to the hunter. In this way
couple of Cinnamon with a gun, a
dog and a hawk make comparatively
large bags in places where the foreign
er vainly attempting to walk up his
game with a struggling line Of useless
Chinese beaters will probably only get
few shots in a day, and certainly new
er finds a pheasant again which he has
once missed.
On the stonier hills, where there is
less cover, chikor are found in consid-
erable quantities and give very fair
sport, except for their indefatigable
powers of running uphill; but the Chin
ese keep them still by using hawk,
much as a kite is flown at home, and
of course would not hesitate to slay
them on the run. Along the streams,
fighting hard to keep open in spite of
the severe frost, few duck and snipe
may be picked up. the latter heavier
and plumper birds than regular spring
and autumn visitors.-Field.

Great Advance In Modernizing The
Celestial Empire.
Change and advance keep moving on
apace in Pekin and China, says D. w.
Edwards, associate secretary, In his re-
port Of Princeton work in Pekin. In
addition to the new buildings Of the
board of foreign affairs and war, the
board of education Is refitting its prem
ises, while the board Of commerce has
purchased large tract Of land in the
city and is planning to erect there large
administration buildings and a large
industrial school, The electric light
plant, which was installed only last
year, is increasing its capacity fourfold,
and still realizes that even this will not
be large enough to supply the demand.
The contract has been let for the estab-
lishment of city waterworks. The tel
ephone company has more applications
for phones than 1t can fill. The Pekin
university, which for time has been
carrying OH what is really only prepar-
atory school work, is building now a
large school outside the city walls,
where advanced university work will
be done on plans modelled after the To-
kio Imperial university. The govern
ment is insisting on its officials giving
censuring where this is not done. AS
to railroads and the Yang
TIE Valley in 80 hours, Moukden and
Manchuria in "a hours, and Taiyuen
Flu and the provinces of Shansi in ~

with north, west and south, and Is the
centre Of the beginning Of the great
transcontinental lines which are going
within short time to bind the empire
together with system Of roads in ex-
tent to be equaled only in America.
Furthermore, the construction Of the
proposed road from Tientsin to Nank-
ing has been at last started which
when completed will make railroad
connections between Shanghai and the
north, and in a short time the road to
Kalgan will be in operation and open
up quick transportation to the great
Mongolian plains. I open a newspaper

about advances in railroads, mining,

be deprecated and that holds back, the
country is being carried forward rap

Secret Drawers and Hidden Nooks In
Which Money Was Stored.


Which Money Was Stored.
1t was the common opinion of
writer's on economics in the seven
teenth century that much currency
was hidden in ceilings, behind wains-
cots and in secret drawers. Hogarth
in his print Of 'The Inheritance" i"
forming one of the set of 1.-THE Rake's
Progress" has depicted a shower of
coins falling from the ceiling Of the
room where workman had accident
ally disturbed the molding Old cab
inets and secretaries of any size have
usually one or two secret drawers or
cupboards. often most ingeniously
contrived. 1t Is surprising how we'll
these secret corners elude detection,
even when their existence may be ex-
pected or inferred. Some years ago,
the wife of a Kentish laborer was
breaking up an old chest of drawers
when she discovered q secret compart-
ment nearly filled with gold coins of
the reigns of William III. and George
for a few shillings about twenty years
previously, and the fact that this lit
tie store of coins mad not been discov-
cred earlier was all the more strange,
because in all probability the draw
ers had been several times repaired.
A curious list of hiding places for
money is afforded by two old books

to the Fulham Pottery works in 1893
and 1898. There are 240 guineas in
a wooden box in hole under the fire.
place in the garret. There are 460
more in two covered receptacles un-
der the fireplace in the old laboratory.
Behind the door Of the little parlor
there is a can containing some milled
money. Two boxes full of money
were placed in two holes of the great
furnace, from which they were to be
drawn by a long, crooked iron stand
ing behind the kitchen door. In all
ten or a dozen such hiding places are
named, and the money was variously
contained in boxes, bags, can, pots
and purses.
There can be little doubt that the
practice of boarding money and val
uables in private houses gave great
encouragement to crime. glance
through the pages of early volumes
of the Annual Register, largely de-
voted to the chronicles of crime, re-
veals a number of apparently hastily
planned robberies, which resulted In
rich hauls out Of all proportion to the
occasion. Some thieves get in at the
garret window of a house in Devon
shire square and carry off from the
owners bedchamber an iron ches,
containing cash, notes and other val
uables to the amount of 10000. Two
men enter the custom house at Lime
rick and in q few minutes carry of
cash to the amount of f1.S00. Such
Is the character of the crimes which
were then most successful-a bold,
quick bid for the treasure chest,
which was almost certain to be well
stocked and very often convenient for
removal by two or three thieves act
ing in concert.-W. A. Atkinson In

An Introduction.


William Blake and his cousin, Jen-
ME Bradford, are not good friends, says
the New York Times. Jennie lives in
Bristol. Last week she visited the
Blakes. William did not know his
cousin but he undertook to meet her at
the station. This is how he did it: He
approached a young woman in blue
who sat near the book stall, and asked:
Are you Miss Bradford?"
mo-" said the young woman, Il am
not"
81 hope you will excuse me-" Will
liam explained. Il am here to meet a
Miss Bradford. She is my cousin. l
have never seen her. My sister Kate
IL the only one in our family who
knows her. Kate intended to meet her.
but she burned her face so badly this
morning with the curling tongs that
she doesn't look fit to go out of the
house, so had to come. She told me
1 would know Jennie because she Is so
pretty. She is the prettiest girl you
ever saw said Kate. Just pick out
the prettiest girl in the station and
yon will be sure to strike Jennie So
that's what l did. / hope you are not
angry. You really are, you know"
The young woman blushed. William
sighed.
I'm sorry" he said. Il don't know
whom to ask next There doesn't seem
to be anybody else in the whole shoot
ing match that comes up to that de-
scription. / guess my cousin Jennie
didn't come"
A tall girl in brown sat beside the
girl in blue. She got up and glared at
William.
"Yes, she did," said the girl In
brown.
"Oh, Lord!" said William. Are
you"
81 am" said the girl in brown.
And of course nobody could expect
