NOT THE old CHINA.

The status of the Chinese as a fight I,
ing nation has in no wise changed in I
the minds of nine-tenths of the pco-
pie of the civilized world from what II
was years ago, and whenever little
unplcasantness of an internal nature,
such as is at present going on, is made
known to the world we draw up
mental picture of lot of Monaghan
savages clashing together with wea-
pons of strange shape, and cruelty
beyond description practised on all
prisoners of war.
Travellers through that country.
who think while they are travelling
have made note of the changes that
are quietly but surely taking place.
william. T. Ellis is the author of an
article on China that has tendency
to make people think. Mr. Ellis sets
down the China of today as land of
rapid changes and striking contrasts.
He depicts II as a country where edu-
cation is shifting from the memorizing
Of Chinese classics to, the mastery of
applied sciences; where the sedan
chair is in competition with first-class
railway equipage, and where seclu-
sion and isolation recede before a
spirit Of wanderlust and inquiry and
a desire for contact. Mr.. Ellis tells
us that pagodas are passing into de-
cay and factory chimneys are taking
their place, and that even the revcr-
ence for ancestors gradually is being
undermined by the knowledge of mod
ern achievement and the pride there is
In II.
Illustrative of the awakening of
China Mr., Ellis writes
"No fact concerning modern China
Is more remarkable than this one of
an awakening to national conscious
ness on the part of the entire people.
China has discovered herself The
parts have become aware of their re-
lationship to the whole. Even the
iehiu eONeTuIueut, S'IHluldteu ny thV
growing sense of National unity, has
shown fresh interest in the outlying
dependencies. Two decades ago Man
churia. Mongolia and Tibet might have
been allowed to slip from out of
China's control. even as Corea has
ldone. Now the nation Is sensitive
and asscrtive over the welfare of these
outlying regions. All China is of a
mind today to fight for every port of
China. This great people may be at
present in furnace seven times heat
ed, but II is welding them into one
ness"
While there are famines and starva-
| ton wages and floods, fanaticism and
ignorance as stumbling blocks to the
realization of higher civilization.
there is the awakening of a giant ma
ton of 42O,OO0,OOO people, It is a ma
ton that is being suddenly brought
out of the Wilderness; a nation that
the other nations must take by the
hand and lead in the right way.

a handsome bird it is by no means OF brlllan1

The African shrikes which Dr. Mearns col

a marked interest on the day in which he went
through the museum, are perhaps among the
most brilliant colored birds OF the world. 1hey

think that three species We're included in the
caDtures, Now it must be understood that when
the expedition went into Africa it agreed
that there should be no killing beyond the actual
needs OF science except of course when it was
necessary to kill game to supply the game table
with food The rule that when a certain
number OF mammals birds OF each kind had
been killed the shooting must stop and the num-
Der fixed was very small, although of course this
regulation did not apply to destructive animals
like the beasts of prey, mice and other crop de-
stroying rodents.
The rule which Mr.. Roosevelt insisted upon
and in which the others readily acauiesced was
lived up to the letter. When DR.. Mearns had Sc

one more because he thought there some
point which might be decided If he could add
another stork to the collection. He told Colonel

KEEPING BEES ON ANY FARM
No More Intelligence and Skill Re-
qulred In Culture Than In Poultry
Work Needed.

It requires no more intelligence and
skill to raise bees than to keep poul-
try. It requires a certain amount of
work and at the right time, yet this
in no sense, equals the attention given
poultry. But for some reason few
farmers have bees. If 1t is lack OF
knowledge that keeps them from 1t
then the excuse is easily overcome for
there are many bee journals and
books that would give the desirea in
formation. If 1t is a fear of bee
stings, these may be prevented by
certain appliances. Surely no one
should be kept from the enjoyment OF
honey because of cost. The bees and
the necessary equipment need not
cost much. Perhaps some have been
led to believe, through foolish news
paper reports, that bees are injurious
to fruit. This is not so. Bees cannot
break the skin of any fruit. Because
they are seen sucking the Juice OF
punctured grapes they have been
falsely accused of doing the punctur
ing.
Honey is the purest and the least
harmful of sweets. The farmer could
just as we'll as not get few hundred
pounds for use on the pancakes. The
honey crop is clear gain, for no flow
ers need necessarily be raised to pas
ture the bees. They aid in the fer
tilization of lruit trees I'd the small
er clovers.

PROPER DRAINAGE ON FARM
Much OF laying Out and Excavation
Can Ee Done by Farmer With
Little Expense.
Bv WALTER r. LEUTZ.)


IN hundreds OF cases where drain.
age is desirable it is not necessary to
employ an engineer to lay out the
work, nor to use expensive systems of
excavation. Much of this work can
be done by the farmer himself after
the exercise Of little thoughtfN}ness.
After a heavy rain in summel--any
time when there is standing water on
the fie'd-let the farmer go over his
land and determine if the water, at its
height, seeks a natural runway. 1t is
easy to see where water would escape
if a few places are leveled down to
q point below the water above them
Place stakes at these high places, and
as soon as the ground will permit OF
working, get busy with team, pillow
and scraper and cut down these high
places. When another rain comes see
If the water flows off. If not, observe
where the high places are and again
20 over them with team and scraper
Begin work at the lower end Of the
natural water course and work up
towards the sloughs. There may be
places where greater excavation may
be required, and this can often be
done with spade at seasons Of the
wear when there Is lull in other
work. Open ditch work of this char
acter for few years will relieve
| many fields of wet and unprodslctive
places now existing, and the farmer
will scarcely realize the cost, whily
the expense of cultivating the entire
Geld will be reduced and Its produc
| uyeness increased.

brought to America to give the student an ade'
quate idea of the fauna of the African plains,
mountains, valley and forests.
1t was Colonel Roosevelts first glimpse of the
African quarry since he saw it living in it's ma
tive wilds. 1t was his desire to know how per-
fectly the specimens had been prepared and
what deterioration if any, the climatic conditions
before shipment and after arrival had caused.
Accompanying Mr.. Roosevelt in his trip
through the museum were DR.. G. Hart Merriam,
now tho head of the Hartman Geological Foun-
dalton and former chief of the United States
Biological Survey; Mr. Edmund Heller, who &C
ctimpanied Mr.. Roosevelt to Africa and who pre-
pared most of the big game specimens for Ship
ment; Edgar A. Mearns, the ornithologist, who
accompanied the expedition and collected most
of the birds; Louis Agassiz Fuertes, the NAM
NAL and bird painter; John Snure, and myself.
We had the huge rooms in which the Roosevelt
collections are ste red all to ourselves Colonel
Roosevelt spoke freely about his trip and told
many anecdotes in connection Herewith which
do not appear in his book and which he did not
tell in his lecture before the National Geographic
Society
1t is hard to describe adequately the enthu-
siasm of the Oyster Bay hunter over the natural

It is we'll known that in general way the

which people call fortunes in themselves
There are some sober clad birds in the tropics
and there as elsewhere they are the better
