LITTLE KNOWN OF VAST LAND
Inmense Tracts In Empire Of China
That Have Never Been Surveyed
or Even Explored.

A large tract Of the great Chinese
empire has never been surveyed or
even explored. As result, all sorts
OF varying estimates al to the size of
China have been given. Any estimate
can merely be an approximation rep
resenting the last guess. This last
guess is estimated to be about 4,0OO.-
600 square miles for China's area
about 100000 miles larger than the
total area of our United States. While
one Of the eighteen provinces OF China
is several thousand square miles small
er than our own state Of Texas, yet
within the borders Of this Chinese
province there have been dwelling
20 times as many Chinese inhabitants
as there are Americans who dwell In
our great state of Texas.
The size OF our own state OF In
diana corresponds approximately to
the size of the very smallest of all
the 1S Chinese provinces. There are,
however, more than i've times as
many Cinnamon dwelling within their
native province as there are Amert-
cans living In our Hoosier state.
The ratio Of five to one applies gen.

and America. Usually when the CHI
nese empire Is referred to what is
meant is China proper. This latter
Is composed Of 18 provinces. There
are in addition to this certain depend.
encies Of China, known az territor-
les. These are oyerrun with noun
tains, vast stretches OF desert land,
high plateauss and varying densities OF
population.
Manchuria is one of these depend
encies, and its size Is about three
times the size Of the British ieiands.
Mongolia is another vast territory Iy-

If you wish to travel from Peking
in Northern China to HongEong in
southern China, you will have q sea
voyage of 1000 miles to cover after

You do not fully appreciate the asst
distances you have to travel In China
until you actually become visitor in
this strange land and are compelled to
secure transportation somehow, some
way, no matter how rudimentsry.

Tie string around this just below
the rim and fasten two long loops to

Put this pan in an ordinary sauce

boiling water enough to come about

Pull up the loops of string, let them

The strings are to be used for ham

WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGES
Records Show They Had Many PrIvs.
leees and Liberties Not Enjoyed
Since Then.

Women in England have always

that ordered men to keep to one trade
left women free TO practise as many
as they chose.
In few instances, at least, women
In the later middle ages discharged
duties and held Offices that do not tall

Prune Jelly.

Prunes are frequently ordered by
physicians, and If the patient rebels
at the plain stewed dish, try prune
jelly. Wash half pound of prunes
and soak them overnight In cold wa
ter, Next morning set them over the
stove In an agate pan, cover with half
cup of water and bring to the boiling
point During this process soak
quarter of box Of gelatin In half
cup OF cold water. When 1t is dis
solved add 1t, with quarter of cup
OF sugar, to the prunes., Now press
the mixture through colander into a

hours to harden. Serve with cream If

SOME REAL LABOR SAVERS
Methods by Which ErFielent Work
May Be Done In Comparatively
Short Time.

1t IL trying task to cut gowns OF
skirts of crepe de chine, silk muslin.
soft silks or any material which has Q
tendency to draw or slip on the table,
and If you would greatly obviate the
difficulty Of cutting such goods. first
cover the table with a felt or heavy
cloth.
In renovating feather pillows, first
open one corner of the ticking and
pour boiling water In. This renders
the feathers kind Of pulpy, wet mass,
which can be easily handled Have
ready some soapy water and take the
feathers out and thoroughly wash
them In this, using more soap If nee
essary. Then thoroughly rinse them
In several waters and put back into
the washed cover and hang it out In
the hot sun.
With a long. clean stick you can
turn them occasionally through the
opened corner. AS the suns heat
dries the feathers they will swell to
hllthe cover and be wonderfully light
and fluffy and perfectly clean without
being scattered at all, which inva-
riably happens when they are handled
dry.
A neat and very satisfactory way to
keep patterns is to file them away in
26-cent letter file. Kept this way
(fat, they are not found rolled or
torn when the housewife needs them.
and they are very easily found If the
patterns Of one class are filed away
together.
Some housekeepers aver that If a
room is filled with smoke 1t can be
easily cleared by waving above ones
head towel that has been wrung out.
Used In tanning fashion, 1t is said
to accomplish the work in few min
utes. Only little vinegar in a small
quantity of water is required for the
wetting of the towel

SYSTEM WILL BE SUCCESS
Little Doubt as to the Possibility Of
the Use Of Wireless on
Trains.

l.. B. Foley, superintendent of tele-
graph Of the Delaware. Lackawanna
& Western railroad, who has had
charge ofIhe wireless telegraph tests
on the Lackawanna limited; the fast
train between Hoboken and Buffalo,
says that he considers the handling of
wireless messages to and from NOV.
Ing trains has passed the experimental
stage.
Only two difficulties need to be over,
come, he said, to bring the wireless
service up to the efficiency Of the rail-
road wire telegraph system. These
are the sending and receiving OF mes
sages between the train and station
when the train is going at high rate
Of speed on sharp curve or through
a tunnel.
The speed Of the train on a straight.
away run has not affected the mes.
sages, but sometimes, said Mr.. Foley,
when the train suddenly shoots around
a curve or enters a tunnel while a
message IN being received or sent the
continuity OF the message is broken as
when disconnection occurs In the
middle Of telephone conversation.
The message is picked up again as
Soon ae the train has rounded the
curve or left the tunnel, but, although
the distance in curves and tunnels ia

tance from Hoboken to Buffalo, for
example, Mr.. Foley wants the wireless

formally opened for commercial and
railroad uses that at no time will the
train be out Of communication with a
city where wireless service communi.
cation can be obtained, he thinks, by n
slight modification Of the aerial ad.
justment Of the instrument on the
train.
At present one section of the Lacka.
wanna limited is equipped with the
wireless apparatus. On alternate days

hamton, and It is with these that the
train exchanges messages.
As soon as Mr.. Foley has finished
his testing and the wireless is put IN
regular service. the railroad will build
stations at other cities and equip
other trains. The plan IL to have the
wireless stations about fifty miles
apart from one end OF the line to tia
