PROGRESS IN THE NEW CHINA.
A Returned Missionary Thinks the
Republic Will Last.

There is no reason to believe that
the Chinese republic will not be perpet-
uated," said Rev. DIR. James Smith. an
American missionary, lately returned
from China. 'tThere are a great many
able men among the Chinese and the
people are becoming more widely edu-
Gated. They have never accepted with
good grace the rule OF the Tartars.
There are from 3O0,o00.0O0 to 400,O0o, 900
people in China proper, in Manchuria
and Mongolia. OF these about 10000
600 are Manchus or Tartars. These TO-
O90, 00o however, controlled the govern
ment until the uprising which resulted
in the overthrow Of the dynasty.
Under the old regime none of tho
people were allowed to use for their
own families much of the money they
earned. The system of government
was for those in authority to squeeze
from all classes of industrial and 9TH
err workers the money they earned.
This money was distributed among the
officeholders, beginning with the toti or
governor of the province, and going
down the line to the humblest of those
il, the government employ. For IS
wears at least there was a we'll defined
and more or less well-directed effort
among the Chinese people to get rid of
the Manchu dynasty and restore the
government to the Chinese
"The Chinese ordinarily are not o.
warljke race. They are docile. intelli-
gent and industrious. For 300 years
there was no incentive for the ordinary
Chinaman to endeavor to better his
condition, because if by his efforts he
made more money it was taken away
from him for the, support Of the officers
of the government who ruled him.
There was no inducement for the
display of industrial ability which the
chinese confessedly possess. China Is

BIRD SANCTUARY IN NORFOLK.
Area on English Coast Reserved for
Wild Fowl.

Naturalists will welcome the recent
announcement of the acquisition by
the natipnal trust of a considerable
area on the Norfolk coast, known as
Blakeney point, about midway be-
tween Sheringham and Wells. For
some years past this tract of fore
shore has been frequented by bota-
nists, ornithologists and biologists, as
it affords peculiar facilities for the
study of nature in some of her most
attractive phases. The physical
features Of the area are particularly
interesting, ii is the home of not n
few rare plants, and it has long been
famous as breeding ground for terms
and ringed plovers. Through the
generosity of the Fishmongers' Com
pany and a few private individuals, q
tract of land over 1000 acres in extent
has now been vested in the national
trust for preservation as "a nature
reserve.
The bird life on the point is. as we
have said, one of its most conspicuous
attractions: the common tern, the les
ser tern, the ringed plover and the
oyster catcher are all to be found,
while there are several species of
sulls. The insect fauna is no less in
terestins; many of the species of in
sects found in the salt marshes of the
British isles are, so far as present rec
ords extend, practically confined to
this country. The acquisition, there
fore by the national trust of an area
of salt marshes in various phases OF
development is of exceptional value
from this point of view.
To the botanist especially BIakeney
is a most attractive locality. The four
principal British species of staticc

apparatus consists OF a telephone re-
