THE STRANGEsT MAP.
London and It's Main Streets to Be
Charted for the Blind.

From the London Standard.
The most remarkable map OF London
yet conceived is now contemplated for
the use Of the blind. It is map that
will convey to the sightless through the
sensitive tips Of their fingers a true men,
tai impression Of the position of the main
thoroughfares, the principal places of in
terest along these thoroughfares and the
means of access to them. This map will
be drawn" in relief. and will consist Of
a combination Of dots and dashes, q
medium that has already provided for
the sightless what had before been denied
to them.
Already the blind are in possession of
the most complete series Of plans Of Lon
don's underground railways that are
available for public use They are able,
by the aid of eleven embossed charts, to
study in detail the routes Of each tube
system, the Metropolitan and the District
railways. and can follow without any
possibility of error the complete inner
circle or the whole network of under
ground services. There are even diagrams
demonstrating the construction of the
tubes, and the fact, not always realized
by normally sighted passengers, that a
tube station is itself tube, only Of much
greater diameter than that provided for
the passage OF the cars between the sta
lions.

Leaves and Weeds Eaten.

F. 8. Brakeman, national secretary Of
the Young Mems Christian Association
for China and Korea, said the wealthy
gentry had either closed their houses and
fed, or had been robbed. thus leaving
the poor without means of support. All
the people had to eat were potato leaves
and weeds. and the bark OF trees The
roofs had been taken from the houses and
sold, the cattle were gone. the women
and children sat all day in the dark,

been sold.

the miseries Of the starving population.

PEOPLE CHANGING THEIR GARB
BY EDWARD YOUNG.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star,
PEKING, April n, 1912.
Chinese papers contain the text of the
manifesto issued to the army by Yuan
Shin Kai as result Of the mutinous out
break among the troops In Picking and its
neighborhood. While carefully avoiding
any direct reference to recent unfortu-
nate occurrences, the president earnestly
enjoined on the soldiers the necessity
Of maintaining order and discipline, alike
in their own interest and in that of the
state.
The document, which seems to Lave
suffered considerably in the process OF
| translation. reads, in part, as follows:
If our armies will unite and sincerely
help me in completing my great task.
peace and good administration may be
surely expected. II they cause any out
break 1t will be merely for their own
personal benefit. and they will become
the public enemies Of the whole coun-
try. II by any outbreak Of the army
uation will become serious. and the
breakup of our country will become i'm
minent. In that case We will become
miserable people altogether.
Therefore. you men OF arms. not only
for your own personal interest, but for
the sake OF your descendants. should
consider the position. To obey orders Is
the frst important duty Of soldiers. II
they cannot carry these out they will
lose the honor of men of arms. With
spective duties with diligence. Con-
slider my words three times. and obey
tremblingly without any neglect
Issues Six Manifestos.
On. taking the oath as president of the
republic Yuan issued no fewer than six
manifestoes. According to the Chinese
papers the first two exhorted all officials
and soldiers to abandon all egotism in
future and to maintain due loyalty and
disc pline. The third RENTED all land
taxes outstanding from the preceding
year. The fourth proclaimed a general
amnesty OF all prisoners except those
who were being prosecuted on account OF
capital crimes. The fifth warned against
misapproprtatng or embezzling public
money, and in the last all existing laws
| ton of those incompatible with the prin-
ciples of the republican constitution.
AS the headquarters OF the original re-
publican executive, Marking has acquired
a new status. but 1t may be doubted II
the distinction thus conferred on it
aroused much enthusiasm among the in
habitants The local correspondent Of the
North China Herald conveys some idea OF
the risks and discomforts which life In
| the revolutionaries' capital has lately in
| volved. Long after the advent Of the
