U. S, ENGINEERS
BEGIN SURVEYS
FOR CHINESE R. R.
Project To Be Financed BY
American international
Corporation.

Picking, Feb. 16.-American en-
gineers have begun the actual sur
veys on two Of the railways which
are to be built in China by the
Siems-Carey Railway and Canal COM
pany, an American organization fl
nanced by the American Information
al Corporation.
The lines upon which the survey
ors are working are in central and
South China. One of the lines ex-
tends from Chuchow in Human prov
ince, south through Hengch owfu and
Yungchowfu in the same province to
Kweilin in Kwangsi province, then
southwest to Liuchowfu and Manning
in the same province, then southeast
to Yamchow, or Chinchow, in
Kwangtung province, a port on the
Gulf of Tongking. This route is about
500 miles long.
The other line upon which the en-
gineers are working runs in general
east and west directions. It starts at
Chowkiakow, in Honan province, a.:1
extends through Nanyanfu in the
same province to Hsiangyangfu in
Hupeh province. The latter city is an
important commercial point on the
Han river, which drains very fer
tile valley well developed agricu1-
turally. Although this line is only
800 miles in length, it is regarded as
an especially Valuable route because
it extends through a rich level coun-
try offering few engineering Difficult
ties, and so fertile and populous that
the railway will doubtless pay as soon
as it is put into operation. Actual
construction work will probably be
begun on this line in a short time,
and it will doubtless be the first part
Of the new American railways open
ed to traffic.

The Eyes In the Dark.

Y son! I could not believe my
Ill III Slowly I rose and faced the
C. handsome youth. Now that
looked at him closely I commenced
to see why his face and personality
had attracted me SO strongly.
There was much of his mothers in
comparable beauty in his clear cut fea-
lures, but it was strongly masculine

The boy stood facing me, half hope
and half uncertainty in his look.
"Tell me of your mother" 1 said.
''Tell me all you can Of the years that
I have been robbed Of her dear COM
panionship."
With cry Of pleasure he sprang
toward me and threw his arms about
my neck, and for brief moment, as
held my boy close to me, the tears
welled to my eyes.
'Your stature, your manner, the
ferocity Of your craftsmanship said
the boy, "are as my mother has de-
scribed them to me thousand times,
but even with such evidence I could
scarce credit the truth Of what seemed
so improbable to me, however much
desired it to be true

scarce recall a moment that the radi-
ant vision of your mothers face has
not been before me- Tell me Of her.
