city until he visits the Chinese and

friend / started out one night about
eight O'Clock. says a Singapore CORE
spondent. II was the first night In
Singapore that one could walk with
any comfort. We went down North
Bridge road, one Of the great avenues
on which an electric car line runs.
After walking half mile we struck
on to the right. where the lights were
bright Just as soon as we left the
main avenue we begsn to see life as
1t Is In Singapore after dark. The
first native street was devoted to
small hawkers, who lined both sides
of the narrow thoroughfare. Each had
about six feet Of space, and each had
his name and his number as a licensed
vender. The goods were of every de-
scription and Of the cheapest quality
They had been brought In small
boxes, and on these sat the Chinese
merchant and frequently his wife and
children A fare or two from cheap
nut oil illuminated the scene. Pass
ing In front of these stands was q
constantly moving crowd Of Chinese.
Malays and East Indians of many
races. all chaffering and talking at
the top Of their voices. At frequent
intervals were street tea counters,
where food was sold, evidently at very
low prices. Ranged along on benches
were men eating rice and various
stews that were taken piping hot from
kettles resting on charcoal stoves.
One old Chinese woman had a very
condensed cooking apparatus. Over
two small braziers she had two COP
per pots each divided into four 'con-
partments. In each different food
was cooking. Much Of the food was
strange to me, especially what looked
like Italian vermicelli that was served
with some kind of dark brown sauce.
Work Until Late at Night.
Back Of the street peddlers were
the regular stores, all of which were
open and apparently doing a good
business. AS In Hongkong, the Chi
nese workmen labor until ten or eIev-
en- o'clock at night. even carpenters
and basketmakers working a full
force by the light of gas or electric
ity. The recent events in China had
their reflex here. All the makers of
shirts and clothing were feverishIy
busy cutting up and sewing the new
flag of the revolution. This Is of
blue. with large. white star in the
center. or. like the British flag, with
a solid body and blue square In left

peaf-Mutes In Convention.


In the first week Of August one Of
the most remarkable con yentions that
the world has ever seen took place in
Paris, France. Several thousand deaf
mutes, representing almost every coun-
try on earth, were gathered together
to consider ways and means for the
advancement of the interests Of those
similarly afflicted throughout the
world. Speeches were delivered In
the sign languages of the countries
represented, and discussions were car
ried on which led to the Inauguration
OF a movement for the creation of a
universal sign language. Such
strange scenes as Hindoo. a Turk,
an Englishman and a Russian. each

excited and earnest discussion with

all these streets. The haunts of the
drug that enslaYes were long and
narrow rooms, with a central passage
and a long. low platform on each side.
This platform was made of fine san
dalwood. and by constant use shone
like old mahogany.
Further along in this quarter we
came upon several huge lower story
Chinese restaurants, ablaze with light
and noisy with Chinese. music. We
were told that dinners were being
given and speeches made in honor Of
the victories won by the revolution
lists. The Singapore Chinese appar-
emily believe all the rumors that
come from China, for they celebrated
with the discharge of many fire.
crackers the false report that Picking
had fallen into the hands of the re-
formers. Apparently the Chinese in
Singapore are practically unanimous
In favor OF a change In their govern
ment, as are their countrymen In
Hongkong and other coast cities. and
this sentiment Is one of the strongest
assets of the revolutionary movement.
The enthusiasm in Singapore over the
reform cause in China was even more
pronounced than IN other cities, and
preparations are being made for a
tremendous celebration when the fnal
victory is announced.
Well PoIIeed.
In all our night ramble through the
Chinese and Malay quarters of Singa-
pore we saw not a single European,
yet we met only courteous treatment
taken as a compliment. Singapore is
well policed by various races, among
which the Sikhs and Bengal predomi-
nate An occasional Malay Is met
acting as a police officer. but II Is
evident that such work does not ap-
peal to the native of the Malay states
On our return to the hotel we
crossed large estuary which Is
spanned by several bridges. Here
were hundreds of small boats moored
to the shore, the homes of thousands
of river people. This business of trans
portation on the water Is In the hands
of the Malays. who are most expert
boatmen. 1t IL a pleasure to watch
one of these men handle a huge cargo
boat. With his large oar he will scull
rapidly, while his assistant uses a
long pole.
One Of the sights of Singapore is
the botanical gardens. which are
about 81 miles from town The route
is along Orchard road and Tanglin
road, two beautiful avenues that are
lined with comfortable bungalows of
Europeans, and some magnificent
mansions Of Chinese millionaires.
The gardens occupy a commanding
position overlooking the surrounding
country, and they have been laid out
with much skill. The drives are Dor
dered with ornamental trees from all
lands.
As soon as one leaves the graded
avenues of these gardens he plunges
into a real jungle of acacia and bam-
boo and climbing vines that make
