CROP WATCHERS IN CHINA
Guards in Towers, Who Protect
Growing Grain From DePreda-
tions by Thieves.

In China the fields are not protect
ed by hedges or fences; the country
lies quite open and is everywhere cas-
lily accessible. This is not to be in
terpreted as an indication of the Pc
culiar honesty of the people or of
their exceptional respect for their
neighbors' property.
AS a matter of fact, thieying
abounds. Large numbers of the peo-
pie are very poor, and this class in or
der to subsist have frequent recourse
to stealing. AS the time of harvest
approaches and the fruits and cereals
are ripening orchards and fields are
never safe from the unwelcome vista
lions of predatory bands. The farm
er knows this, and hence everybody
is obliged to stand guard over every
thing. Almost every field has its
watch tower, says a writer in the
Wide World Magazine, and these frail
tenements are never deserted, night
or day, until the harvest has been
fully reaped.
In some districts "crop watching So
cieties' exist, whose sole business is
to provide professional crop watch
ers" where and whenever they may
be required Fields of kaoliang, or 81
ant millet, are watched by profess
sional crop watcher" This stall
wart plant grows to height of ten
to fifteen feet, and field of it is a
veritable jungle for density and i'm
penetrabillty. This accounts for the
height OF the watch, tower-a light
wooden structure.
The watcher must If his vigil is to
be of any use. be higher than the
crops he is looking after. Even so, ii
is difficult to detect the thieves, they
are SO effectively hidden by the tall
and dense growth of the kaoliang
The object of the thieves is to pos
sess themselves of the millet heads OF
the plants, and thie they can very
easily accomplish, All that is nee
essary is sharp knife and quick
hand.

Despite his five and forty years the
Professor fairly quailed before the
young woman at the recollection of his
faux pas. The Professor was as exact
as the charts he drew, and some said
that his heart was as dry. But any
old bachelor at forty-five is apt to be
that way.
Il mean, Miss Marston, that at your
age one naturally desires congenial So

the young woman, almost as embar-

the great work of mapping out the
two new craters which he had discov-
cred would be greatly retarded. And
he could not afford to disappoint those
who were expecting his report at the
next meeting of the Astronomical soci-
ETY..
They were seated together in the OBJ
servatory few hours later. The moon
was full and the clear atmosphere
made observation extremely easy. De-
spite this, however, the work pro-
ceeded very slowly indeed. Miss Mars
ton seemed as preoccupied as the Pro-
fessor.
II don't know how ever shall CONF
plete the chart without you, Miss
Marston," said the Professor. II must
say that for woman you have an ex-

that evening.
