Southern California had apartment

scientific correspondent whose inves-

him that keeping mp an apartment

to one six-apartment cavern he found

One abalone. one sun.

Twelve abalones, one moon.
Our correspondent figures that the
home hunters among the Pimugna
Indians had to pay at the rate Of one
abalone sleep. or day, or IL abalones
per lunar month. The cave was the
largest on the island and comprised
the apartment house de luxe of that
period. A short distance below the
entrance to the stone apartment house
the professor found a huge pile OF
empty abalone shells, proving that the
landlord did q more or less rushing

Around this sacred relic OF by-g0ne

fence, set upon an ancient brick wall,
encloses grassy plot which Is dotted
with many quaint grave stones and
also contains the church itself
Although certain interior changes

made. the general appearance Of the
church Ia practically the same as In
me days of old. The same chancel

and chairs and brass candle holders
are In use, while among the relics In
the vestry may be seen the first bible

the long-handled purses In which the
offerings of the parishioners were de-
posted.

The Chinese Railroads

1t is not surprising that the Chinese delegates to the

the railroads In any country the railroads are the ar
teries of commerce and they of the very highest
Importance as a means Of national defence.
1t is true that up to the present time China has not
been able to build to operate railroads of her own and
this lack of ability has been exploited for the benefit Of
foreign capitalists and others interested in breaking
down Chinese sovereignty and in breaking up Chinese
territory.
The Washington conference, however, marks the
beginning of period in which China to be treated as
modern naon competent to exercise the full measure
of independence and sovereignty and to deal with other
nations their equal The full control of Chinese rail
roads is essential part of that program, which does
not shut out foreign capital from investment in
China any than it was shut out from the United
States at the time when the great railroad systems of
