CHINESE BUILDING
MODERN RAILROADS
Great Construction Projects
in the Orient.

In spite Of a considerable degree Of op-
position on the part of provincial financial
interests, the Chinese government is pro-
ceeding with its plans for taking over all
railway lines that are projected or in
course of construction in various parts
of the empire. The government is, in
fact, now occupied with plans for set
tlement with the shareholders in the vari-
Gus enterprises that are to be so national
lied. 1t Is announced that the construc-
ton OF a railway from Aigun to Chin
chow is again to be taken up seriously.
Other lines are contemplated for 1mme-
diate construction in the same portion OF
China, such as the Fakumen and Tieh-
ling line, though this line Is so opposed
that its construction in the near future
Is doubtful
Gov. Chen, Of Kirin, is reported as urg-
ing the immediate construction OF the
Kirin-H -Hunchun line, which would connect
the present Manchurian system with the
sea between Vladlvostok and the north
end of Korea. In the south there Is I'M
proved prospect of the construction OF the
Wuchow- Manning line. The viceroy at
Canton also has expressed himself as
especially interested in the immediate
construction of the Canton-Macao line.
Kirin-Changchun line has been delayed
somewhat, but a line over the mountain
involved will be run temporarily, and 1t
is expected that rails will be run into
Kirin this year. Work on this line has
been delayed by the lack OF labor, due
to the plague. The final survey on the
Kulun-Changchiakao line has been COM
pleted. The construction OF the parallel
lines of the Manchurian Railway Com
pany from Tsitsihar has commenced The
bridging of the many streams along the
southern portion of the Pukow Railway
is rapidly being completed, most OF the
smaller structures being already in use.
The energetic work on the Szechwan
line from Ichang Mn the direction OF
Wanhsien is being continued. The Can
ton n-Hankow line north from Canton has
been completed and is ready for opening
to mile sixty-seven, nine miles beyond the
present terminus of the line at Kouwong-
shek. Construction on the Summing Rail-
way has been delayed somewhat by f1nan-
cial conditions, but the line will soon be
opened to Honeymoon, on the Pearl River.
An interesting phase OF the present rail-
way development in China is the effect
which 1t Is even now having on the trade
and trade prospects of various ports. Ar
rangements are now being made by the
Nanlxin viceroy to open to foreign trade
the port OF Pukow. the Xangtzs end Of
the Tientsin-Pukow Railway.

ly habit at that.
Just now, I am working out an organi-
Zation for girls similar, but modified, Of
course, to the Boy Scouts. 1t is to be ma
tional and will exalt beauty, service,
trustworthiness and happiness. Beauty,
not only OF sky and landscape, but of
common things-picture hanging, rug-lay-

al service like giving money to the
heathen. but constant acts of helpfulness
to the person right at hand, as pleasure
remember, and not as a matter of duty
Trustworthiness, not only personal In
tegrity, but fidelity and reliability in all
relations and the certain completion OF
anything once begun. Happiness, sur
face and internal, looking happy and
feeling happy in the appreciation of beau
ty, in the performance of service and in
the determination to be steadfast.

count along with painting, singing, and
the so-called reflnements. Familiarity
with nature will be practical instead Of
scientific. Thus a girl in the woods will

Havoc of the Hide Hunters.

In 1881 the buffalo hide hunters shipped
5000 buffalo hides to the East. The
next year the number was 20O.00O. and in
1883. 5000. Only 300 were reported in
1854. and after that there were none al
all In 1883. Sitting Bull and his band,
with some white hunters, killed the last
10000 OF the northern herd.
The last survivors, twenty-eight in
number, were killed on the Big Porcu-
pine in 1856, and were mounted for the
National Museum With that the wild
buffalo of North America practically
ceased to exist, except for few in the
Yellowstone National Park and a hand
full in the wilds of AthabasCa.
