NO ALMANAC FOR CHINESE

The Chinese public in the lower
part of the nation is in predicament
this year owing to the lack of their
usual almanac, which tells them what
days are lucky, what are unlucky, and
which gives them similar items of use
full information. Each year hundreds
of thousands of books are sold, and the
publishers got them ready as usual
this year. They put on new covers
with proper dates, and kept the inside
just as it was before, as they were &C.
customed to do for many years back.
Then the new government stepped in
and strictly prohibited their sale. The
public now has no means of insuring
itself perpetual good luck.

POPULATION OF THE WORLD

The total population of the world is
now estimated at 1,700,000,000. This
is based upon the most recent cen
suses, which all civilized countries
now take, with a careful estimate of
the number of inhabitants of uncivi-
lied lands. The proportion of the
sexes is known for 1,03S,00O,000 of
these, the ratio being 1000 males to
$50 females. The ratio varies consid-
erably in different places. In Europe
there are 1000 men to 1927 women;
in Africa, 1000 men to 1,045 women;
in America. 1000 men to 964 women;
in Asia 1000 men to 961 women; in
Australia, 1000 men to 937 women.
The highest proportion of women is
found in Uganda, where there are
/, 467 to every 1000 men, The lowest
proportion is in Alaska and the Malay
States, where there are, in the former,
S91, and in the latter 389 women
to every 1000 men.

ENGLAND HAS TIMUR RUBY

1t has just become known that the
days of the Mogul empire as the "Trib-
ute of the World" is now among the
British crown jewels. Some experts
had supposed it was lost. The gem is
royal match to the Kohinoor dia-
mond, the Mountain of Light" which
has been in the British regalia since
1850.
The Timur ruby is the largest in ex-
istence, weighing in its present shape
a trifie over 352 carats. It Is uncut,
but polished The first account Of
this ruby is in 1898, when the Ameer
Timur, known in Europe as Tameri-
ane, plundered the Indian city of
Delhi, and seized a great stock of
princely gems. Tamerlane bequeath-
ed the Timur ruby to his son and
successor, Mir Shah Rukh, who passed
1T down in turn to his son, Mira
Ulugh Beg.
The ruby fell into the hands Of a
Persian king at the downfall of the
Tartar empire. In 1912 the stone was
presented by Shah Abbas l., greatest
of the Sofavi kings of Persia, to the
Mogul Emperor Jehangir. At that
time it had engraved on it the names
of Tamerlane and his son and Shah
Abbas. The Emperor .sehangir oblit-
Grated them and engraved on the ruby
the names Of himself and his father,
Akbar the Great.
Nur Jehan, favorite wife Of Jehan-
CIR, told him he ought not to have
scraped off Tamerlane's name, to
which the Persian monarch replied:
"This jewel will more certainly hand
down my name to posterity than any
written history The House of Timur
may fall. but as long as there is a
king this gem will be his"
Shah Jehan later put his name. on
the ruby and set the stone in the
famous Peacock Throne. There 1t re
NAMED until Nadir Shah invaded In
dia and sacked Delhi in 1889. He car
ried off the Timur ruby and $4,000
other gems. When the Nadir was as
sassinated in 1747 the ruby descended
to Ahmad Shah, who founded the king
dom of Afghanistan. His son surren-

The cafes are crowded, there is a
constant stream of automobiles and

The sidewalks are filed with people

At eight o'clock performances begin
in a dozen theaters. At the Payret

In the moving picture and variety
theaters one finds real wickedness. The

modest compared with the dances
shown on the stages of the variety

for Is and so cents. The little plays
are beyond description and the act
resses wear very scanty attire.

Forty-second street before the theaters

drinks. There is very little drinking
