CHINA NOT LAND OF HUSTLE
Traveller in That Country Must Possess
Generous Amount OF Patience
and Tact.

Sooner or later, writes E. III. Wilson
In "A Naturalist in Western China"
the traveller in China must dispense
with the comforts and Injuries of
modern occidental methods of travel
and adapt himself to those more print
tive and decidedly less comfortable of
the oriental
In the regions with which we have
TO deal there is nothing in the nature
of wheeled vehicular traffic save only
the rude wheelbarrows i'm use on the
Chengtu plain. There are no mule
caravans, and scarcely a riding pony
to De found. For overland travel there
Is the native sedan-chair and ones own
legs; for river travel the native boat
Patience, tact and abundance of
time are necessary and the would-be
traveller lacking any of these essentials
should seek lands where less primitive
methods obtain. Endowed with the vir-
tues mentioned, and having unlimited
time at his disposal, he may travel
anywhere and everywhere in China in
safety, with considerable pleasure and
abundant profit in knowledge. With
her Industrious toiling millions, her old
old civilization, her enormous natural
wealth and wondrous scenery, China
alternately charms and fascinates, irri-
tates and plunges into despair, all who
sojourn long within her borders.

Elephants Picnic.

An act not down on the program
was given without charge the other
day in the old seaport town of Marble
head, Mass, when four elephants of
small circus, named with fine allied
patriotism General F'och, General Per-
shing, General Haig and Princess Pat,
jumped stone wall, escaped the cir
Gus and took to the woods. The per-
sonnet of the circus, acrobats riders,
clowns and canvasmen, followed, and
SO did many of the townspeople and
half dozen policemen, but the ele-
plants made the woods first, and there
they spent the day with "a large and
appreciative audience" watching on
the outskirts. Peanuts and bananas,
usually temptation to elephants,
failed to entice them from their New
England Jungle; but as twilight fell,
and habit suggested feeding time, the
big beasts came peacefully out of the
woods and allowed the trainer and his
assistants to lead them back to the
circus grounds. And all Marblehead
went home to belated suppers.

NEVER SAW THE SUWANEE
Writer of Popular Song Used Name
Because Rhythmic Sound of 1t
Appealed TO Him.

The song, "Old Folks at Homes
made the name of "Swanee River Ia
nous, but few people, except those of
Florida and Georgia, connect the
Swanee Of the song with the Suwanee
that flows from the southern swamps
OF Georgia down through the wood
lands OF Florida to empty into the Gulf
of Mexico.
Way down upon the Swanee river"
suggests vaguely the South of the ante
bellum days with its cotton plantations,
its mansions and negro cabins. None
of these things are found along the SUI
vance. Yet Floridans claim that the
song was written in honor of their for
est stream, and boatmen even point
out tree under which Stephen Fos-
ter is supposed to have penned the
memorable lines. Reports less pic
turesque, but more generally accepted,
say that Foster never saw Suwanee
river, but that he used the name be-
cause of the rhythmic sound, dropping
the ~" to perfect the meter.
While the Suwanee river may not
be what its name suggests to most Of
us, it is Il beautiful stream, flowing
through semi-tropical country where
hve-oaks and expresses are mirrored
in its clear depths. Heavy forests of
cedar also grow in it's valley but these
have been reduced in recent years, as
the wood is in great demand for pen
Gil making.
The Suwanee figured largely in
early American history, for it was
favorite haunt of the Indians, and
many battles with the red men were
fought in it's valleys.
The name Suwanee has an Indian
sound, but 1t is said to be cOrrup-
ton of San Juan-a name given the
river by early Spanish explorers.

Germany Seeks Wool Substitutes.

Search for wool substitutes will
doubtless cOntinae in Germany, where
sheep rearing is not likely to increase
materially. Dogs hair and even hui
man hair have been tried, as felt ma
terial of limited supply, and the long
hair of women found military use dur

Is to be based on the white, silken-

into very fine soft threads, suitable for
weaving certain fabrics, and plans are
said to have been made for breeding
several millions of the animals.
