Chinese Novels.

nNE of the noteworthy features OF
~ the spread of western ideas in
China is the interest there mani
tested for translated novels of Euro
pean and American origin. Most of
these romances are rendered from
British and American authors. since
few Chinese scholars possess a good
knowledge of any foreign tongue
save English. Some phases of this
literary invasion of China are we'll
worth attention.
Historical romances of the Dumas
type and tales of adventure like
Jules Verne's are greatly in vogue.
The Journey to the Moon" created
great sensation, the projectile con-
tanning the travellers being the sub
ject of frequent discussion. H G..
Wells is a great favorite. Robinson
Crusoe"-entitled 'Lu-pin- -suen'-
charms young and old alike. Friday
having won his way to popularity in
a short while. The vogue of these
stories have its due significance.
What pleases the Chinese reader is
the spirit of initiative and the in
genuity of the heroes, their faith in
the future, their fine optimism, their
confidence in themselves, their dis
covery of new fields open to enter.
prising and educated men. The deeds
of prowess performed in these books
are we'll calculated to stimulate a
nation that is on the eve OF giving
life to its latent energies.
Besides these strenuous tales, fos-
tering resourcefulness and daring.
and apart from serious" works, such
as The Conquest of Mexico" and
The Duchess of Angouleme," an
other class of foreign literature
meets with considerable success. 1t
is this:
The notable and the scholar, who
every day in their club discuss the
necessity of establishing representa-
tive government are affiliated with
secret societies and bounded by the
myrmidons of the government They
are devotees of novels about secret
societies of all lands, socialistic tales
and detective stories. And there you
have the genuine Chinese taste. For
is not China the classic soil of con-
spiracies and mystic brotherhoods?
The most read socialistic novel is
Looking Backward" by Bellamy,
called in Chinese 'Heui-t'eu-k Kan"
which means literally THE Look
Back"
And how should the Napoleon
among detectives not have overrun
China, provoking universal admira-
tion and enthusiasm? How should
the glorious name of Sherlock
Holmes not have resounded in the
ears of all Chinese? In their lam
guage Holmes becomes "Fu-eull-
se," and his exploits cast the most
extraordinary adventure in the ma
tional literature completely into the
shade.
There should be mentioned in this
relation native romance, entitled
Free Marriage" (Which, however is
not based on free love") that also
belongs to the literary westernizing
influences, because. in the first place.
it asSails the oriental tradition of
feminine subsection. Furthermore, it
is essentially European in its method
of character development and de-
parts altogether from Chinese mod
els by neglecting classic Renaissance
and intricate local color. The author
of this ssiaa2gely new work gives
proof of . philosophic sense na& so
much Chinese as broadly human, this
being itself perhaps another proof
that at least some native minds have
absorbed foreign ideas and ideals.

Q. Is it a fact that the Japan cur

nearer the Oregon coast by the Japa-

such a change have on the climate OF

A.. The United States and the Geo
detic Survey says that current like
the Japan current or the Gull stream
change their positions somewhat in &C
cordance with the changing season
and with changes in the velocity and
direction OF the winds; but these
changes are OF temporary character.
ANY permanent change in an ocean
current OF the magnitude OF the Japan
current" says the Survey. would m
ply an adequate cause, such as per
manent changes in the prevailing di-
rection OF the wind or extensive
changes in such features as the bot
tom OF the ocean or the conhguration
OF the coast line. That any such
changes have occurred appears i'm
probable. No great changes appear
to have been noticed by the meteorol-
ogist or the oceanographer. 1t ap-
pears highly improbable that any per-
manent change in the course OF the
