By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PEkING. August 16.-The cessation
of rains the past week has resulted
in levels of the rivers in Chilli prov
ince remaining stationary, with the
exception of two points, where there
was a slight rise in the waters. No
additional floods have been reported
and much of the flood area is drain
ing.
belated report from Hengchowfu,
Human province. says the flood was
the worst known. Villages along the
rivers south of the city are in ruins
while in Hengchowfu 1000 houses
were inundated.
1t is impossible to estimate the
damage in the provinces, due to the
lack of details contained in the
Chinese official reports.
The International Relief Commits
sion anticipates much distress in the
Fall and Winter and in the meantime
is not distributing relief.
In addition to the customs and
other surtaxes which are to be de-
voted to relief work, the cabinet has
issued a decree reducing transporta-

to the striken districts
President Tsao Kun has donated

The journey of the American Army

1519-1J22. After an absence of three
years. Magellan and his men had
gone around the globe that they had

The achievement, of course. settled
forever the question as to the shape
of the earth. 1t pushed aside all the
old narrow geographical ideas. and
broadened immensely the physical hori-
Zon of the world.
1t took the Portuguese admiral
over three years to make the voyage
and to make discoveries in the west

CHANGING IDEA OF GOD.

Cn ,istorlrr Morley in the Century Magazine. !
The theological chickering's Of our
time and their "tincture of choler,"
as Hobbies would say, are due per-
haps to the uneven progress Of q
great shift in the human notion of
God.
The primitive Imagination of Deity
is often of a gigantic omnipotent and
omnipresent personality. Then, later,
men come to think of God as a kind
of force or law, or harmony among
infinite laws and forces. This process
Of magnifying God from a person to
a ".far-ofr divine event" proceeds un-
evenly, as do all ideas. And there
is no squabbllne so violent as that
between people who accepted an idea
Yesterday and those who will accept
the same idea tomorrow.
More important than the novelty of
ideas is the differential In the rate at
which people accept them. Or 1t
might even be put the other way
round-the rate at which ideas ac-
cept people as vehicles. An idea
often hops into q person and uses
him, more or less, as we hop into
taxicabs.

HEIGHT NOT DUE CLIMATE.
Tall Races of Men Found in Tropics
as Well as Temperate Zones.
From London Answers

From London Answers.
1t, is often said that the tallest
people, are found in the temperate
zones. and the general idea is that
are the tallest races in the world
II. however. you go carefully into
the figures you will find that this is
not the case.
The average height of English
Scots. and Scandinavians is the same.
A full-grown man Of each race aver
ages feet 72.5 inches in height
The Irish are a fraction of an inch
shorter, and next come Danes and Bel
gians.
But these are not the tallest races
In the matter of inches the records
are held by Zulus. Iroquois Indians,
Polynesians and Patagonians. The
last. the tauest race in the world.
average feet 10 Ia inches. Now
the Zulus live in semi-tropical
climate, the Iroquois in a temperate
one. the Polynesians in some Of the
hottest parts of the world, while the
Patagonians inhabit the Horn Of
South America, one of the coolest and
most miserable places on earth.
In remarkable contrast to the Pata-
gonians are the Laplanders, who, re-
siding almost on the Arctic circle, are
the shortest race on earth. grown
man being only seven-tenths of an
inch over five feet.
The more one studies the matter
the more puzzling 1t becomes, but one
point seems clear enough-that cli-
mate and latitude have nothing
whatever to do with height.
Food and fresh air. indeed. have
more to do with the development of
the individual than climate, as is
proved by the fact that everywhere
the farm laborer is taller than the
artisan.
a striking example of this is pro-
vided by Scotland, where the farm
laborer Is 4 inches taller and SO
pounds heavier than the average
Glasgow artisan. Again, the fishing
population of the Yorkshire coast ex-
ceed the Sheffield workers by 3
inches in height and "a pounds in
