EucaIyptus-olI Industry.

The pioneer of the Australian eu-
calyptus-oil industry was John White,
Surgeon General to the Settlement"
who came to Sydney with the first
fleet, says the Sydney Bulletin. The
following passage occurs in his Jour
nal of Voyage to New South Wales"
published in London in 1890:
The name of peppermint tree has
been given to this plant by Mr.. White
on account of the very great resem-
blance between the essential oil drawn
from its leaves and that obtained from
the peppermint (Mentha plperita1
which grows in England. This oil
was found by Mr.. White to be much
more efficacious in removing all
chollcky complaints than that of the
English peppermint, which he attrib-
utes to its being less pungent and
more aromatic.
White not only used the oil in N. s.
Wales, but sent some to England. He
got It from a tree which he called
Eucalyptus piperita, but which was
afterwards renamed e. capitellata.

PAYING HOMAGE TO DEVILS
Recognized Method by Which Chinese
Insure Against Dire Work Of
Evil Spirits.

Once year during the first II days
OF the seventh Chinese month, the Gu
rious ceremony Of Yu-Nan-Whel is Gel
ebrated, being, in fact, the paying Of
homage to the land and sea devils,
says New York Herald. Seven priests
carry out the ceremony by offering up
various forms of prayer and making
an unearthly noise by beating large
gongs.
Anyone wishing to show his respect
to the devils can do so by a payment
Of 900 cash-about % cents-to each
Of the priests, for which amount they
will continue their performance for IL
hours-a truly modest remuneration
for men engaged IN the ardent occupa-
ton Of propitiatlng evil spirits. For
an extra payment of 1000 cash a num-
Der Of small red paper boats, about six
inches long, with lights inside, will
be sent floating down the river with
the current.
These lights are for the benefit Of
the sea devils, In order that they may
be able to see their way about on
dark nights-a little attention which
1t is hoped these maritime demons ap-
preciate. Having finished this per-

NATIONAL FORESTRY DEPART

MENT TO CAMPERS

WASHINGTON.- Many attractive
building spots in the National Forests
of the west are open for lease by
the summer home enthusiast, an
nounces the Forest Service of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which says also that information
regarding permits for summer home
sites will be furnished gladly by for

The Forest Service is endeavoring
to bring the wonderful vacation re-
sources of the National Forests to the
wider attention of the general public
and to induce many more hundreds
of thousands each year to visit these
natural Fairgrounds. Unexcelled op-
portunities for tramping, camping,
motoring and fishing are offered to
visitors-at no cost whatever for the
privilege. There are few restric-

STOCKS HARD HIT
BY INVESTIGATION
INQUIRY INTO HIGH COST OF
LIVING AND STRIKES INFLU-
ENCE STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK.-Stocks broke with a
crash yesterday under an avalanche
of liquidation and short selling which
embraced and enormous variety of is
sues and aggregated almose 10000
shares.
The break, which ranged from S
to almost 20 points in the recent
market leaders, was precipitated pri-
marily by the railway shopmen's
strike and the attitude of the rail
road brotherhoods, including the
recommendation of the unions that
the railroads be taken over by the
government.
Spread of the movement against
high living costs also gave impetus
to the decline, which was the most
severe of any session since the be-
ginning of the bull movement some
six months ago.
The decline started among rails,
but almost Immediately extended to
every branch of the active list, in
cluding shares recently much in spec
ulative favor. Among the more Sc
we're price impairments were the in
vestment rails, steels, motors, oils,
equipments, shippings and utilities.

AMERICAN PLAY IS
GIVEN BY CHINESE
EVERY WOMAN" PRESENTED IN
ENGLISH BY CAST OF
CHINESE GIRLS

SHANGHAI Girls of the Nc
Tyeire School, an American Institu-
tion for Chinese girls, gave a per-
formance of "Everywoman," ar
American play. The entire perform
ance was in the English language and
even the male parts were taken by
Chinese young ladies'.
The play was exceedingly well done
even for amateurs. There were de-
fects in staging, such as the constant
changing of lights during the dances,
and there was an awkwardness of
motion somewhat characteristic of
of Chinese girls. But the enunciation
of the English word was surprisingly
clear and the understanding of the
text almost perfect.
Miss Zung Sen-lung played the title
role. During almost, four hours of
acting she maintained her part evenly
and thoughtfully. Miss Zung's cos
tunes were well selected.
Flattery, which was played by Miss
Zu Yuen-sung was small part, ably
handled. If one shut his eyes and did
not look at Flattery, he might have
imagined himself in New York, listen
ing to an Americans English, so
we'll did Miss Zu speak the language.
Miss Wong's Youth and Miss SEES
Beauty were also we'll done.
The girls who played masculine
parts suffered somewhat from the
Chinese girls lack of acquaintance
with foreign men. They did not ex-
actly know how an American man
would go about it. However, Miss
Fong Lieu-oen's Wealth was an ex-
cellent portrayal, while both Miss
Chang Mei-li who played Witless and
Miss Chang E. Tsung, who played
Passion, must come in for a share of
the laurels.
The dancing in the second act was
excellent. The girls were graceful
and vivacious and fully justified the
encore which they gave The Greek
dance which was interpolated after
the third act was not so well done.
1t was not, however, the fault of the
girls: the story was too long, the
music monotonous and ill-chosen, and
the action too slow However, the
girls made the best of poor thing.

Say Rank and File Want Strike.
While railroad yards in the Chicago
district have become congested with
broken down cars as a result of the
strike, the union officials declare all
railroad service will be more serious
ly affected in a few days. They ad-
nit the strike was called in defiance
of the grand lodge officers of the un-
ions involved, but that it was in COM
pliance with the wishes of the rank
and file of the federation. They also
refuse to take a strike vote August

must treat with them
