Annoy, China, Feb. with the dc.
N~eiopInent Of civilization along western
lines the isolated province of Fukicn
is rapidly undergoing important
changes. 1t ma soon he imagined that
a chunk has beer taken out of New
England OF some other farming region
OF the United States and laid down in
China for there are increasing evil
dtnces that fields once wholly devoted
to the poppy will be turned over To
potatoes and corn.
Progress has put its foot down on
the opium business. Outside Of China
there are probably few persons who
realize how great Il blow this action
has dealt at u mean of cu%stenance to
province whose We're al
ready overturned 20 maintain its crowd

brought a good price i'm local mar
kets and formed an important source
of the farmers revenue. 1t is small
wonder that campaigns against the
drug nave met with armed resistance.

their entire seasons work lost. This
year q new method is to be tried. In
stead of waiting until the plants are
grown and then destroying the crop.
the government has served notice that
all opium plants will be destroyed as
soon as they appear in the field. In
many instances the summary dcstruc-
ton OF the crop last year caused riot
and ~bloodshcd, but the notices this
year seem to be convincing farmers
that the government means business,
and h destruction of the young
plants already under way has not
caused the strife which resulted last
year. The new policy is meeting with
the approval of the farmers, and once
they see that they must give up the
poppy they arc turning To indigo, po-
tatocs and corn.
New Spirit of Freedom.

spirit of freedom. During the revolu-

Rome. Fec. 21.-Tile success Of the
Greek tragedies given in the antique
open air %trisaters at 'Fieso,e, near
Florence. and their repetition in Rome
at II stadium has led to the still
more ambitious project Of giving
Greek Hellenic representations at the
Greek theater at Syracuse, more than
2,400 years old.
Prof. Ettore Ramasnoli, who has
spent his life translating the Greek
tragedies into Italian, has been en-
trusted with u new translation for the
of !Agamemnon, the first
part of Aeschylus' trilosy. and the
staging OF ii. The costumes are all
to be taken from the figures on Greek
vases of the time, and which actually
represent the characters in the trag-
edN.
