would nave been had they doubled half the way round as most of the men did. But the great point was that any company ltsing man was put out of action immediately.
 There Is no doubt that the Chinese when properly trained Is steady shot This is evidenced in the general com. petitions, for, although we have such a restricted number of Chinese in the company. yet they always have men well up in the open shooting competi- tions. But the Chinese cannot march at great pace. This is evident in the regular army. l have seen regulars break down at a march of four miles an hour for six hours day. but the new army will be less incumbered even than Yuan Shi Kai's model army was, and there Is yet much reason for hope for the new Chinese army Foreign observers speak in the highest terms of the efficiency of the new army, while engaged at maneuvers. and If 1t is provided with real leaders much may be attained. The Chinese com. pany has at any rate demonstrated that Chinese can shoot with deadly eff. feet at the most difficult targets.

Bulbs Secured from Philippines When Planted In California VIII Bloom Early and Are Free from

Washington-The plant experts of the department of agriculture are turning their attention to things of beauty as well as usefulness. and sev- eral new flowers have been evolved by them.

Large quantities of bulbs have in years past been imported from Der muda, Japan and other countries, and the demand for the Towering plants seems to be on the increase
 Various lines of work have been undertaken and carried out by our ex- pert, MT. Oliver, chiefly for the pur- pose of securing new types of lilies by hybridizing and crossing, and to demonstrate the practicability of growing lilies ir this country direct ly from seed"
 One of the most promising of hy- brids has resulted from crossing the Philippine lily and the Bermuda lily. The Philippine lily takes two months to come into bloom from the period of planting the bulb. while the Ber- muda and its various relations require in the nelghborhood of five months. It was thought that there would be a great saving if the time taken to force a good Easter lily could be reduced from one to two months.
 With view to bringing this about, the hybridzation of the Philippine and the Bermuda lily has been effect ed. The result of the cross Is flower larger than the familiar Easter lily,

 Up to this time Americans have had to rely for a sparse supply of Philip pine lilies upon the Philippine is' lands, and they arrive early in the spring, when they cannot be used for forcing But by growing them in Cal ifornia they can be obtained in the fall in good time for forcing into flower during the winter. The plants so far grown in California, says Mir. Oliver, do not show signs of the lily disease.
 A second line of work in connection with the production of lilies has been. under way in the department for the last four years. This embraces the

the air resulting from the exodus

great modistes and milliners plan
their work with the idea OF the beautf-

Riviera offer for these costumes.
Those less fortunate Parisians who
must remain in the gay capital are
quick to profit by the tempting models
for spring. and in the tea rooms and
on the boulevards there are already
straw hats that show which way the
wind blows.
The Louis XVI model. turned up at

straw, forming an upper surface OF

Old blue straw was effectively used as
q facing for black velvet hat. the only
ornament being a huge old-gold cabo-
chon in which sapphires were set.
These ornaments, by the way. are the
favorite brilliant touch on many OF the
smartest styles.
