Luxurles lmported By Chinese.

The table luxuries of the Chinese in
this country are supposed to be con-
fined to chop suey, rice and sharks
fins, apart from the sweets that are
imported from the Celestial empire
for their use. 1t IS not generally
known that chop suey should not be
included among the dishes to which
the so-called Celestials are used in
their own country. 1t is concoction
made popular In California years ago
when the Mongolian cooks catered,
for the first time, to the Caucasian ap-
petite. But there is a fidelity to their
native productions that is respon.
sible for another food imported by
them. despite the fact that the same
might be obtained here in abundant
quantity, namely. eggs. The custom
house records show that in 1908 there
were imported from Hong-Kong 1891
dozen eggs, exclusively for the use Of
the Chinese.

enough wonders to make it at

mind who enjoys visiting little
known territory. There is opportu-

There are miles upon miles of sand
dunes whose rippled surfaces remind
one of the sandy bottom of a pool of
water and whose aridity and menace
to the inexperienced are unsurpassed
by the worst sections of the Sahara
or Tibetan deserts. Before the wa
ters of the Colorado poured into the
Salton sink, creating a lake nearly
500 square miles in area and 80 feet
deep, there was a marsh with an in
crustation of salt from six to twelve
inches thick. This salt was so pure
that the bed was worked with sue.

renewed in way that would seem
mysterious in the almost rainless land

cal conditions existing beneath the
sloping surface of saline crystals. Wa

the mountains bordering the desert
on either side at some points under a
pressure of as pounds to the square
inch. 1t forced its way up to the sur
face and was there evaporated, leay-

through into the irrigation canal lust
below Yuma and flowed north through
the dry channels of two ancient rivers
into the Salton sink, there used to be
mud volcanoes north of the Mexican
border and just south of the sink.
They were drowned in the lake which
resulted from the foods of the Colo
rado. There are such volcanoes, how
ever, In the desert in the northern
part of Lower California. The vol
canoes seem uncanny, so strangely
out of place do they appear in the

their submergence had been visited a
number of times by explorers, although
not always with safety. They rose near
mounds of volcanic rock. One ex-
plorer, in attempting to cross the thin
crust which covered the hot mud bog
separating the mounds from the solid
ground broke through and was scald-
ed so seriously that his explorations
had to be abandoned and his life was
in peril for a time.
The miniature craters looked much
like dilapidated beehives and emitted
sulphurous vapors that, crystallizing,
lined the vents with glittering yellow
crystals. The hot water around the
bases of some of the fumaroles was so
acid that shoes or clothing moistened
with it were destroyed.
