for future accomplishment is more to be de-
sired than the slavish devotion Of the worship
of ancestors and a complacent contemplation
Of hoary ages past.
Chinese graduates of American and European
universities have imbibed with the various fea-
ture' of their scholastic curriculum a spirit of
independence, and hence Vie new nationalism in
China which has succeeded in breaking the
bonds of ancient tradition and humiliating serv-
itude.
The startling successive incidents which To-
cussed the eye Of the world on central China
were not the result of any local antiforeign pref
udice but the elimination Of a carefully pre-
pared plan which occupied the earnest and Sc
rious thought of the Young China party for a
number of years.
A movement Of such stupendous proportions
demanded leaders Of exceptional ability, and
that these were found and proved their fitness
has been demonstrated to the world by their
deliberate thoroughly organized methods and
their avowed determination to not permit their
zeal or success to betray them into any act
which might be offensive to any foreign power.
Pre-eminent among the leaders Of the revo-
lutionary party; or the Constitutional party"
as they prefer to be termed, is DR.. Sun Vat Sen,
whose whole life has practically been devoted
to the task of bringing about the present crisis.
His career has been both thrilling and pic
turesque.
The lot Of the reformer in China is not a
happy one, and the persistent agitation of DR..
Sen soon evoked the wrath Of the authori-
ties with the result that 1t was officially decided
that his head would be worth fifty thousand
dollars. The fearless young reformer, however,
believed 1t was worth a good deal more to him
and SO for it's preservation he became an exile
from his native land.
The organization which he and his colleagues
succeeded In creating waved mighty in numbers
and influence. In constant and close touch with
developments in China and he progress of the
reform party, he was able to direct, at long dis
lance, its various movements until the psyche
logical moment arrived when, confident OF their

met the fate which was theirs in this last con-
fict, they fell into the hands of the conquering
hosts Of rebels.
Success was almost within their grasp when
the Picking government became alarmed and
frantically appealed to the British government
TO send a soldier who could train an imperial
army to meet and quell the Tai Ping rebels.
Gen. Charles Gordon was commissioned for
this purpose, and in cooperation with Ii Hung
Chang he succeeded in putting into the field an
efficient and well disciplined army which was
afterwards known as the ever victorious
army" for they never lost an engagement with
the enemy, and in six months he had complete
ly exterminated the insurrectionists
Defeated and discouraged, the rebel leader,
Hung Hsieu Chuen, reiterated to Marking and
there committed suicide.
The Manchu government was saved to con-
tinue its dominating oppressive sway and the
distinguished Englishman who came to the res
cue has ever since been known as "Chinese
Gordon"
Note the difference between the attitude Of
the powers towards the Picking government in
the recent rebellion and that Of England to-
wards the Manchu despot nearly fifty years
ago.
The powers refused to aid or respond to the
Picking governments appeal for assistance,
finar cially or physically, apparently recognizing
that the Chinese have a just grievance and a
perfect right to adjust 1t in the only way pos
sible.
During the past few weeks Tai Ping history
has been duplicated, but with higher purpose
and more intelligent direction. The battle cry
was the same and Down with the Manchu'
found an echo throughout the length of the
Yang Use valley, In hamlet, town and city,
aboard ungainly junks and northward along the
~shimmering lines Of the new railroad until 1t

earth is more keen and intellectually alert to
learn and acquire than the yellow man Of the
Orient.
To the western world this revelation OF the
spirit of revolt and change in China seems
very sudden. Most of us believed that the en-
pire, with world-old superstitions, was still re-
fusing to ADM the blessings of modern prog
ress. We believed that it was untouched by
the revolutionary fire which in twenty-five
years has changed the Japanese nation, mirac-
ulously, so that it has shufied off its old faith,
and its old moralities, adopted the shoddy
clothes of Europe, darkened its cities by the
black smoke of busy factories, made slums OF
its fowerlgardens, established a great army
and a great navy to fight a wal which has
brought it to the verge of bankruptcy, adopted
the philosophy of greed and grab, and general
ly learnt the beauties and joys of western
civilization. China still seemed to be sleeping
in the sun, or dreaming away its life in the old
faith of smiling contempt for the rush and roar
of western progress.
All travellers from China bear witness to the
temperate, contented, cheerful, laughing char
acter of the Chinese peasant, and to the intel
ligence, the courtesy, the equanimity, the kind
illness, the calm philosophy Of the Chinese gen
tleman. When England was a tangled forest
inhabited by naked savages, China was the
home Of literature anti the arts. For two thou
sand years 1t has had Its poets and Its great
teachers and its men Of science. Many OF our
modern inventions were discovered by Chinese
sages a thousand years ago, and abandoned as
foolish or dangerous toys which would not add
to the happiness of the human race. When
their passions are aroused the Chinese people
have certainly revealed a savage cruelty equal,
but not SURPRISING, perhaps, the cruelty OF the
WnSfprn world in tho middle ages Rut III all
things are measured up. 1t seems that they have
much to lose, as well as much to gain, in virtue
and III happiness, If they adopt the standards
of European civilization. For, after all, our
western system OF society has not, In spite of
all our progress" given a great measure Of
happiness or material comfort to the average
laborer.

0Atolls.

1t Is shown by the Investigations
conducted by scientific expeditions to
the Pacific islands that there is a slow
elevation going on there, which, by
lifting the reefs gradually above the
waves, preserves them from erosion
at the top, and enables vegetation and
certain animal forms Of a terrestrial
character to exist there. This is quite
in opposition to Darwin's idea that
the atolls were formed by the grad
ual submergence Of small islands, and
that the coral insects built up encir-
cling reefs as the islands sank.
Recent reports show that the eleva.
ton of the islands is a general phe-
nomenon, but variable in amount,
some islands rising rapidly and others
very slowly.
Both the fora and the fauna Of these
islands are confined to a very few
species, although, see from a dis
lance, some Of them appear very rich
in observation-disclosures Weekly.

The rumor grew into alarming re-
ports. Mrs. Jack had been seen

was going through one of her period

Jack had taken a sudden notion
