HAS WEATHER NOTES
CHINA is OFFERED MILLIONS
American and British Financlers Have
Vast Sum Ready to Pay for
OIL and Minerals.

Shanghai-Two hundred and fifty
million dollars was offered for control
Of the national resources Of China.
This vast sum will be guaranteed by
committee of American and British
fnanciers, numbered among whom are
the interests affiliated with Standard
Oil company. the moment the re-
public of China is recognized by a
single world power. In return is
asked a monopoly of the development
Of the oil and mineral wealth OF
China.
The republican leaders regard the
plan fair, but Japanese and Russian
inanciers working together, are press
ing their demands for consideration.
They profess to be able to give just as
much money as the American-Br
combination and are backing up their
demands with suggestions of interfer-
ence by both Japan and Russia,
should preference be shown the Amer.
leans.
The fact that British f1nanciers have
united with the Americans, has anger
ed influential Japanese, and the Jap
anese-English cordiality may be
threatened. Realizing this, and also
that both Russia and Japan are in
strategic positions, where they could
interfere at any time in China under
the pretext of restoring ORDER" the
republican leaders are sparring for
time.

PhiIadelphian Has Records For
122 Years.
Family Diary Shows Temperature
Kept by Each Generation, Along
With Daily Chronicle of
Other Events.

Philadelphia.-One hundred and
twenty-five years Of weather records
kept by three generations Of the same
family, side by side with comments on
men and things long ago passed from
memory, form the interesting contents
of large library of diaries, the prop
erty of Jacob R. Elfreth.
True to the tradition Of his Quaker
forbears, this seventy-year-old chro-
nologist Of the weather since 1870 has
written in black and white the story
of the mercury's vagaries as he OBJ
served them, and his records stand
against the hazy contentious of any
oldest inhabitant" who may venture
fictitious tales of how cold it used to
be.
The story of the curious diaries
which make up this interesting wealth
er history is bound up with the growth
Of Philadelphia. From 1889 to 1850
Caleb Pierce, a native of Chester
county, kept the first records. He was
the maternal grandfather of Mr.. Ell
freth. His diaries were not SO com
plete as those of his son and grandson,
but their interest and worth are en-
hanced by antiquity.
Most of these writings were done at
his home, Seventh and Arch streets,
where he lived while the Quaker town
was booming into her early twenties.
He kept a hardware store in Market
street above Second, but before he
plodded along the cobble stones of
cold winters morning to open up the
little shop he recorded the tempera-
ture.
Long before he gave up the writing
of his diary Jacob R. Elfreth, Sr., took
up the work in 1872 Sixty-eight vol
umes of nearly uniform size painsta-
kingly relating the happenings OF
those often troublous times, are now
in the possession of the aged son.
To ]. R. Elfreth Jr the task of keep
ing these records was then assigned,
and he has kept them faithfully since
1870. They, together with the others,
will be given to the Friends Historical
society when the last entry has been
made, for the present writer is the
last in the direct line of ancestry
Not infrequently. he is a historical
contributor to the local newspapers;
in the Darby Progress he recently
published a statement showing that
January, 1912, was. the coolest within
the span of the family records. Among
other things he states that the aver
age temperature at a. m. has been
Is degrees. On the 18th the mercury
was 8 degrees below zero. On the 14th
6 below; on the 10th, zero"
The years 1915, 1920, 1921, 1892
l84O 1874, 1857, 1866 and 1881, he
states, were especially cold during
this month. The coolest days of which
he has record, in succession, were
February 10 to Is, 1899 The coldest
record was New Years, 1881, which
was % degrees below.
