Ta1i-fu, Scene of Latest
Chinese Earthquake, Is
Little Known.

Washington.-"Tali-ful, latest Chi
nese city to suffer from earth
quake, lies almost at the southwest
corner of that huge country" says a
bulletin from the Washington, D. G.
headquarters Of the National Geo
graphic society.
'Tali-fu, next to Yunnan-fu, is the
most important city in Yunnan, the re-
mote border province that adjoins
Burma on the west and French IndO-
China on the south. A railroad, built
by the French, reaches Yunnan-fu, but
Tall, nearly 200 miles farther west,
can be reached only by horse and mule
caravan over execrable roads. Prog
ress is slow and the journey from the
rafl-head normally requires a month
Of more. The latitude of Tall is ap-
proximately that of the southern tip
OF Texas, but it lies nearly 1000 feet
high and has a pleasant climate with
warm days and cool nights
City Has Ideal Setting.
"The setting Of Tall is almost ideal
It lies on the west shore Of a beauti-
full blue lake about 30 miles long,
while to the west and north tower
high, snOw-capped mountains. Among
the foothills to the north are fertile
little plains and hillsides where rice,
wheat and beans are grown. More
and more, too, the opium poppy Is
coming back into cultivation. Yunnan
province was the best poppy country
in China in the past, but about Is
years ago an anti-poppy edlct went
forth, and It's sudden enforcement
nearly ruined the Yunnanese farmers.
Enforcement of the edict has grown
lax lately and poppy fields are now
to be seen along the main roads.
'The city of Tall Is situated about
eight miles north Of the foot Of Tall
lake. At the foot is the town of Hsia-
Kuan. The relation between the two
communities is very roughly that be-
tween Gary, Indiana, and Chicago. If
mercantile activity is substituted for
industrialism. Hsia-Kuan is the mer-
camille town, while Tall is the official
and residence city. Between the two.
along the lake shore, is a road paved
with cobblestones that, through long
use, have become polished to glasslike
smoothness. Over them the caravan
horses pick their way gingerly at the
sloWeSt of PAGES.
Turbulent Times In Yunnan.
Revolutions, local uprisings, and
bandit raids have combined to make
Yunnan province one Of the most tur-

bulent places on the map In recent
years. If conditions become stabilized
1t Is probable that China will at last
have railroad connection with India
via Tall and Burma. A Burmese rail-
way now runs to within about so miles
Of the Yunnan border at LashiO. Brit
ish interests have considered the fea-
sibility of extending this road to Tall,
Yunnan-fu and some port on the
Yangtze river.
'"The mountains and hills near Tall
are covered with a profusion of rho
dodendrons which give the country an
aspect Of loveliness in spring and sum-
mer. An expedition of the National
Geographic society led by Joseph E.
Rock recently brought into the United
States from Yunnan an extensive col
lection of these beautiful Towering
shrubs, many Of which will be intro
duced here"

SURVEY OF PHILIPPINE COASTS

pine coasts and waters" said Com
mander Parker.
''The areas which have not yet been
charted are the west coast Of Palawan,
the southern half of the Sulu sea to
BorneO, the Sulu archipelago, south
MindanaO, northern Luzon to Bashi
channel, almost to Formosa, and the
west coast Of Luzon from Cape En-
gano to Casiguran bay. The most I'M
portant Of these areas, Judging from a
commercial standpoint, will be sur
veyed first.
"As to the Importance of the task
we are about to undertake, 1t cannot
be overestimated. 1t is likely to re-
suit In the change of steamer routes
will make navigation safer in these
waters, and will change the status Of
the areas from one of unknown waters
to one we'll charted and entirely safe

Jap Festival Marked
by Display of Flags

Japans boys festival is marked
throughout the country by the display
or fish flags from every house blessaH
with sons-fOr every son a flag.
Households vie with one another ac-
cording to their resources, and the
show is more or less colorful and
brave. The fish flag is in the form Of
u carp, each flag Indicating a particu-
lar age. For instance, from one pole
seven carp, bellied out In the sun by
a strong breeze, conveyed the intend
ed suggestion of the fish fighting their
way bravely and strongly against the
current, as boys must fight their way
upstream through life The flags are
gayly colored, and along the country
side one sees them near and far
against the new spring green's in hun
dreds and thousands, representing the
new generation of Japan, heirs to

Longfellow All Wrong;
Hesperus Never Did Sink!

Boston. - The schooner Hesperus,
made forever famous by Longfel-
lows ballad, "The Wreck of the
Hesperus," was not wrecked at all.
Instead Of going to It's doom on the
reef of Norman's Woe, the vessel lay
in safety in Boston harbor and suf-
fered only the breaking Of a bowsprit
when buffeted by the gusts which
reached it.
The historical mistake Is revealed
In study of newspaper files Of the
period Of the great gale which inspired
the poet.
On December II, 1879, the news
papers printed an account of q sad
disaster, telling how II bodies were
washed ashore. In the same column
was a paragraph telling how a gust
drove the Hesperus from it's moorings
in Boston harbor against the shin
William Badger, carrying away its
bOwsprit. A trifing misfortune like
this won the schooner Hesperus un-
dying fame. Perusal Of Longfellow's
diary for the 18th shows that he must
have read both items and confused
them.

Quest of Each Had
to Do With Annette

Here is one by the last mail, typical
OF the chortles Of the old country,
whose doings and being we all love to
hear of: A land owner, while out for
a walk early one morning, met an
lrlshman, who was generally regard
ed as notorious poacher, relates the
Montreal Family Herald.
Good mornin', sorr," hailed the lat
ter; "and phwat brings yer hammer
out so early this mornin'?"
We'll, Pat" replied the land owner,
Il just came out to see if I could get
an appetite for my breakfast. And
now what has brought you out so
early, may 1 ask?"
"Och!" said Pat, "Oi just came out
to see if Oh could get a breakfast for
me appetite"

Miles and Miles

The American mile is 1,76O yards,
and so is the English mile. The Ro-
man mile was 1920 yards, and those in
use at various times and in various
places on the European continent
ranged all the way from LOO to more
than 10000 yards. But the mile has
been pretty much superseded in Eu-
rope by the kflometer, a unit Of the
metric system, and it is really the
European mile" kilometer meas
ures 3,2S0.8 feet, which is not quite
dve-eighths of mile.

Apparently No Limit to
Useful Application of Of
fetal Representations.

Washington.-There is apparently no
limit to the practical uses that may be
made Of forecasts and weather data
generally. The Corpus Christi station
Of the weather bureau Of the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
ports two unusual instances:
A teacher Of expression planned an
open air recital. AS her pupils were
small children whose voices were weak,
she aScertained from the weather bu-
reau office the probable wind direction
during the evening Of the recital and
placed the audience to Ieeward of the
performers, who were heard withoat
difficulty.
Trainers Of fox hounds frequently
call on this station to learn the prob
ability of fog or dew in the early hours
of the next morning. AS hounds work
best on still, damp mornings, such
times are selected for sending them out
in quest Of coyotes.

Popular Sentiment

Senator Wadsworth of New York
said at Washington banquet
Russia won't be recognized by the
American government till the Ameri-
can people demand it's recognition
and the people make no such demand
at present.
"A Red was Grating one night from
a soap box
" There's famine in Russia he
shouted, and our Bolshevik brothers
are starving. Who will help them?
Who will give them their meals?'
Who yelled a heckler, will give
them their deserts? ?"

Marksman Wastes Shots,
but Fails to Shoot Seals

Dublin.-A Bisley marksman may be
good at shooting at targets, but pretty
poor when it comes to shooting seals.
The minister for fisheries disclosed in
the Dali, when dealing with complaints
Of the destruction Of fish by seals, that
the ministry had engaged Bisley
marksman to shoot seals and kept him
at work for three months in the es-
tuary of the SUR. He expended 1000
pounds of ammunition, but was honest
enough to say he was not sure whether
he had killed one seal.

United States Expects to Complete
Task Started 27 Years Ago In

Manila, P. 1.-The United States
coast and geodetic survey expects to
complete within a few years the work
Of surveying all the coasts and ada
cent waters of the Philippine islands
and bring to a close a task that has
been under way since American occu-
patton nearly q years ago. Com
mander W. E. Parker, chief of the di-
vision of photography and topography,
declared recently upon his arrival
from Washington.
Commander Parker comes as the
personal representative of Colonel E.

States coast and geodetic survey, and
expects to remain in the Philippines
several months.

lose their luster when laid out on the
trays to harden. On the advice Of the
weather bureau official the candy com.
pany purchased a sling psychrOmeter
and is making practical experiments
in insuring humidity in it's factories.
While it is likely that the company
will eventually install air-conditioning
apparatus, 1t is now producing these
candies satisfactorily and with little
added expense by making them only on
days when the humidity is low.
Watched by Ministers.
Ministers keep an anxious eye on the
weather, as it frequently influences the
size of their congregation. The pastor
Of one Of the largest churches in Can
ton, N. Y, consults the forecasts for
another reason-to save coal. In ar
ranging for heating his church for
Sunday service, he calls the local Of
fee of the weather bureau for the fore
cast made Saturday morning and prob
able temperature during the night and
Sunday morning. He then instructs
the janitOr as to time of starting fires
and amount of heat required. In this
way a more satisfactory temperature
is provided and fuel is saved.

There are no trumps and 2 is in the
lead. How can w so play the hand
that they will win FIVE Of the eight tricks
against any defense1 The solution of
this problem has already been given but
a possible defense by B was suggested
for analysis. At trick one, z should play
the king of clubs and Y should play the
seven. Z should then follow with the
seven of spades. A should win this trick
with the king. 1t was suggested that A
should now play the king Of hearts and
follow with the nine. If Q plays the six
Of hearts on AS king, and wins the
second round of hearts with the ten.
