Electricity in China

From the Newark News.
During the past year Chinese merchants
in Shanghai have taken up electric ad-
vertisng to a surprising extent, and now
the large stores on Marking road vie
with one another in the splendor of their
shop fronts.
1t has always been the custom among
the Chinese to drape the store on opening
day in red hangings of silk covered with
pictures of fairies and genii and inscrip-
tions of god omen. With the coming Of
evening lanterns would be suspended
among the hangings and illuminated by
candles. This has all changed now. First,
the Japanese brought in electric adyer-
tisements for their patent medicines, and
now the Chinese merchant sprinkes a
galaxy of electric lights all through the
hangings that cover the front of his new
ly opened store.
At one large store on Nanlxing road,
the Shanghai settlements principal Chi
