Pity the Chinese Student.

A new map OF China was recently
published by a German house which
undertakes to trarscribe the chief
names in the exact forms which they
assume IN the dialects OF the respsc.
tive provinces as wei! as the common
~ accepted form. In this way the If.
teen chief dialects are represented.
says the National Review. The CO.
monty accepted form Is printed 10
dark green. the dialect forms IN black.
Thus such unfamiliar forms appear
as Taetsiu for Taichow. Fupe for HUI
pei. Fulan for Human. Hokkfcng for ~
ken. Ss1utchon for Suchow. etc.
Other features which make the msp
valuable are the thoroughness VITA
which 1t treats Mongolia and the ke
konor country North Of SsechusR-
regions which in most maps are left
more q less blank spaces.

how the eyes Of the Spaniards gilt
tered at sight OF the yellow metal and
how they quarreled over it.
AT one Balboa fitted up an expedi-
ton to cross the mountains to the
land of gold. With him he took 200
men and a pack OF savage dogs, which
should attack unfr!endly Indians.
Balboa called the new ocean the
South sea-, because he was looking
toward the south when first he saw
it. But he Il his followers, though
they had discovered a new pecan,
failed to find the land of gold for
which they had set out. He then re-
turned to Darien and sent word to
the Spanish king Of the great dlscov-
cry which he had made. Then he
caused for small ships to be taken
apart and carried across the noun
tains, believing that somewhere on the
other side Of tho new ocean lay the
Ell Dorado. These vessels were set up
again and launched, the first European
ships to dip keel in the great South
sea. But before Balboa had equipped
them fully and put out to sea his enc
mics. hurrying across the isthmus,
captured him. accusing him OF plots
against the king. There was no evil
dence of any such plotting on Balobo's
part. but those We're lawless times,
and the men of Darien were Jealous
OF Balboa. In less than "a hours he
was tried, found guilty, condemned to
death and beaeaded.
