The most recent estimate by the Depart

the barbarian head Of a family dwelling
in desert.
In the thirteenth century some refugees
from northern China fled into Manchurfa,
where they took or rather assumed the
name of the Niuche. There was no ma
ton: they were simply innumerable small
clans or tribes or families.
One of these little clans was that which
subsequently, gave birth to Noormachu.
1t occupied small district on stream
about thirty miles east Of Mukden. The
principal camp or stockade of this family
was in the valley of Hootooala.
About the middle of the fourteenth cen
fury there appeared in this clan man
named Aisn Gioro. who was the real
founder of the Manchus. The legend is
that a magpie dropped a red fruit into
the lap Of a maiden of the Niuche while
she was bathing. She ate it and con-
ceived a son, who became Aisin Gioro.
"Caluminous reports" says D. c. Boulger
in his history of China, have affirmed
that this mythical hero was never more
than a runaway Mongol. but the maybe
legend is still dear to the hearts Of
Manchus."

commercial utility. Up to that time the
foreign steamers equipped with wireless
that entered United States ports carried
4s,6tO cabin passengers and 81. 141 steer
age. Those not equipped carried $3.50
cabin and 12S. 100 steerage passengers. In
the American coasting trade 1900 more
people were carried on non-wireless than
on wireless steamers. Thus the greater
number of sea travellers were exposed to
the same fate that MANAGED the pas
sengers of the Republic, and without the
means of call for help.
At that time wireless installations meant
either continual financial drain on the
vessel owner or considerable original
outlay. The Marconi company charged
an annual rental of ST 600 and the United
wireless from S75 to 500 a month. Other
systems which sold outright demanded a
price that ranged from 81 800 to $4,000.
The public opinion resulting from the
outcome of the Republic and Florida col
lision produced a tendency on the part of
shipowners toward the hasty equipment
Of their vessels. But the prices made
many hesitate. Consequently dangerous
condition arose. for a possible stampede
on the part of the wireless companies

deterioration in the instruments

Meanwhile the south OF China was

government were spent there and not on
the northern border. One of the brightest

commander, Chungwan. was foeman
