The distribution of the population
Of China is a curious thing to con-
template, says Eleanor Franklin Egan,
in the Saturday Evening Post. A
hundred thousand people may be
gathered together within what might
rightly be regarded as city limits, but
on the map their city win be indicated
as a mere village that is not worth
considering. Moreover, they viii not
have established a single feature of
city organization. Villages of 100000
Inhabitants are rather difficult to Wis
uaIize, but they exist in China.

A vacuum and eravItatIon.

A tank containing nothing, not even
air. would be what is known In physics
as a vacuum. An object resting on
the bottom OF such a tank. whatever
might be Its weight, would be acted
upon by the law OF graVitatiOn in the
same manner as would be the case
OF an object resting on the bottom Of
tank containing air or resting on a
support in the open air. The law Of
gravitatIon would attract it to the
surface Of the earth, but the bottom
OF the tank on which it rested would
prevent 1t falling. It would. therefore,
remain on the bottom OF the tank

Chinese Hinhwava-

The wider the street, the more the
uses to which it can be put, so that
travel in the broad streets Of Picking
is often as difficult as that In the mar
row alleys of Canton. An imperial
highway in China is not one which is
kept in order by the emperor, but
rather one which may have to be put
in order for the emperor. All such
highways might rather be called low
ways; for, as they are never repaired,
they soon become incomparably worse
than no rOad-at all.

In 1901 st. Peter Damian wrote q
letter to Pope Alexander, bitterly COM
planning that a certain bishop was
wasting his time playing chess instead
of attending to the affairs of the do

HIRES MAN TO SERVE TERM

Washington-The attention of Pres,.
dent Harding has been called through
nm appeal for cleinency to an unusual
occurrence in Cleveland, Ohio-the EN-.
ployment Of federal prisoner of a
substitute to serve his sentence ut the
rate of $40 day.
The appeal for clemency. first
made to the president several weeks
ago and now renewed, was in behalf
OF a third man, who has been con.
yicted in Cleveland for conspiracy in
connection with loan made to the
federal offender, by which he was
able to hire his substitute. The story
was considered by the president when
first told him as scarcely believable,
but the one who made the request for
clemency for the petition assured the
president that it was not only true in
all its details, but that the practice of
hiring substitutes by convicted prison
ers was not uncommon in several
states, and that the standard pay of
the substitute was $40 day.
Convinced that the representations
were based on facts and that some
collusion involving federal officials
must exist, the president asked the
department of justice to look into the
matter and is now awaiting a report.
