IRlsHMAN's work IN CHINA
Late Sir Robert Hart Served Celes-
tial Empire for Forty-Nine
Years.

Irishmen have made careers for
themselves in the most unlikely quar-
tiers throughout the whole period Of
modern history. While the distinction
won by Irish noblemen in the service
of Spain and France and the exploits
OF the Irish Brigade, who turned the
day at the decisive battle Of Fontenoy,
are familiar to the world, and Irish
names are found prominent among the
soldiers and sea fighters and states
men OF the South American countries,
it is not so we'll known that they have
played their part in Russia and in
eastern lands. Peter Lacy was a trust
ed lieutenant Of Peter the Great and
employed by him in constructing and
training the Russian army. Some OF
the highest nobility in Russia today
are of Irish descent, though their
names are so RussianiZed as to give
no hint of their origin.
This capacity of the Irishman for
winning success in a foreign land re-
ceived another notable illustration in
the case of Sir Robert Hart, who died
after serving China for forly-nne
years. This keen little man had
wonderful constructive ability. 1t
might be objected that his family had
been settled in Ireland for only a
couple Of hundred years. His ances-
tor was a Captain De Hardt. an officer
who received grant Of land from
William III. after the battle of Boyne.
If 200 years do not nationaliZe fam.
lily then surely naturalization be-
comes impossible if a remote anCes-
tor can be traced to another country.

C0CHIkEAL Is NEAR END
Like Tyrian Purple of
Antiquity.

It is the opinion of NJ Leon Diguet,
who has been studying the state Of
the cochineal industry in Mexico for
some time, that before many years
have passed ccchineal scarlet will
have become a thing Of history only,
like the Tyrian purple of antiquity.
How many people are aware of the
method OF manufacture of this we'll.
known dye. 1t is made from the dried
female of the cochineal insects (coc-
Gus cactO. They are gathered by
brushing the branches of the nopal
cactus, on which the insects feed as
soon as they begin to lay their eggs.
They are then dessicated in ovens or
killed with boiling water. 1t has been
estimated that one pound OF cochineal
contains no fewer than 10000 distinct
insects. The color il brought out and
fixed by chloride of tin. The Indians
had cultivated the coccus cacti in pre-
Columbian days. but the commercial
possibilities OF the insect seem to have
been first realized by the Spaniards in
1913. 1t was introduced into Europe
about 1923, and into India in 1875.
The city of Oazaca was the center of
the cochineal country in the days OF
Humboldt. but only few plantations
OF the nopal cactus now remain
hence the fear that the dye will soon
become a thing OF the past, at any
rate unless some other substance ia
found Oh which to feed The insects.

During the recent extended maneu-

made Of the newly introduced illumi-
mating pistols. 4
According to the new regulations.
these are to be employed wherever
the configuration Of the land makes
their use preferable to that of the or

necessary for the use Of the latter
device is very inconvenient, and espe-
cially in rolling and otherwise diff
cult country. where the main rnaneu'
vers take place, it cannot be used to
advantage. The Illuminating pistols
have not this disadvantage, as they
are easily transported.
Further, the searchlight is useless
in valleys and deep-lying plains, as
their rays shoot over these and leave
them apparently in still deeper shad.

serve as excellent covers at night
