Traveler Speaks of Savagss Ke Met in Wsstarn Part of China. They Are Warlike Race, Living In a District Which Is Mountainous, but Very Rich In Mineral Resources. Shanghai, China. Little is known evea la China about the Loto country in the western part of tha empire, but a short time ago a missionary came from this district and he was able to teH us that these savages are frbndiy to the white man who deals with theiu cautiouslv and that they are submitting to tl e teaching of the few missionaries tha. have penetrated Into the district. Lo!c!and has attracted a seed deal of atteaticn In Shanghai, ani even in America recently, on account of the travels ia that district of Dr. Demenil, who accidentally shot a native cf Tibet and had to bo triod in Shanghai for manslaughter. Following this, an Englishman ntmed Brooke wa3 murdered by Lolos and the real facts have only come to ligh: with the return of Mr. E. S. Little, who has been on an e-:t?mkd tour I:i' western China Mr. Brooke was stoned to death ""after shooting a Lolo chief in self-defense. Mr. Little traveled through the country from Yachow, across the Tungho river down to NIngyuan and across the Yargtsze, at a place 500 miles above the highest point at which It is navigable, and he found that this country consisted of lofty mountains with passes 10,000 to 11,000 feet high. The mountains tower on all sides and throughout the district named they are held by Lolo savages, who aro continually at war with the Chinese, or eaoi other. "When Mr. Little entered the country he immediately came into touch with a score of raids. On one occasion he passed through a valley on either side of which were opposing forces cf Lolos. On another occasion he heard Xzat the road in front of him had been the scene cf two raids and he found that 40 people had been carried ofT captive and sold as slaves by the Lolos. MV. Little had many unpleasant experiences, but he was able to talk in Chinese with many of the Lolos, as they understand a little of that language. The men have copied to some extent the Chinese dress, but over all they wear a woolen cloak. The women wear shirts, but no shoes, 3tockings or, underclothes. All of them are strangers to soap and water. Some of the women have pretty features and the whole race is dark, but of fine carriage and physique, and Mr. Little considers them superior In many respect3 to the Chinese. The Lolos are armed with antiquated firearms, long spears and all sorts of miscellaneous weapons. They are clever at stone throwing and when they cannot reach their enemy for a hand-to-hand encounter they hurl pieces of rock through the air with remarkable accuracy. The whole country has great possibilities. Mr. Little saw gold, copper, zinc, lead and silver mines, some of which were being worked successfully In the native way. and others are waiting for the necessary capital. In the course of hl3 journey he passed mountains of highly mineralized rock that had not been developed or touched In any way. Through 'all these mountains there are many streams of water which would give power for running factories and lighting them. f Romance of Man Who Defied Laws of His Country and Married Chinese Maiden in J Chicago. Chicago. Yun TchI Ho, a prince In Korea by birth, who addressed the Men's National Missionary congress, held ?n that cit7 recently, became a center of Interest to the delegates when it became known that he has played a rele in an international romance for "which he was forbidden to enter the domains of the royal family of which he was a member, or his own country. "While the Chinese empire shortly following his return from the United States, where he graduated from Vanderbllt university at Nashville, Ten n., and later from a school in Georgia, where he went to study arithmetic, Prince Yun Tohl Ho, or as he calls himself. T. H. Yun, met and fell In love with a girl from a prominent Chinese family," said the prince's friend. "He knev the law in Korea which forbids the marriage of a Korean and a Chinese, but his love for the woman was none the less ardent. Finally, In desperation he wrote to a girl acquaintance in Nashville, with whom he had become acquainted while attending Vanderbilt, and asked her for ad vice. "Marry her and let things take their course," was the cabled response, and the prince followed his American friend's advice. "Promptly he, and his bride, as well, were forbade entrance to the Korean realm.

PA Y ING OLD DEBTS

Man Living in Gotham Liquidating Obligations Contracted by Father. Advertises for Addresses of Creditors of Firm Which' Failed TwentyEight Years Ago Wany People Suffered. New York. "I should be very sorry if an honest desire to pay a man's debts in this world is so rare that It is worthy of a newspaper story." This was what Fred Tench of the contracting firm of Terry & Tench replied when asked why he had advertised for the addresses of several of the creditors of the firm of W. E. Tench & Son, which failed in 1SSS. That he should be anxious to pay oil obligations for which he Is not legally responsible did not occur to Mr. Tench as anything out of the ordinary or especially meritorious. For twenty years It has been the dream of Mr. Tench to gather all the creditors of the old Tench firm and pay them what his father and he owed when they went down to financial ruin. Nov his dream is being realized. Thousands of dollars la being sent to men the Tenches were unable to pay at that time. The firm of W. E. Tench & Son was in business in Chippewa, Canada. The failure of the firm was a heavy blow 2nd many people there whom the firm owed for material or work suffered. From the moment of the failure it was the desire of the elder Tench as well as of the son to pay all the firm's debts, but the father never realized his ambition. He never . recovered from the shock of the collapse of the firm, and when he died he handed over these obligations to his son as a sacred trust The younger Tench went to work with a will. The firm of Terry & Korean Prince of the neighboring countries. While a member of their ministerial party, he became dissatisfied with the workings of the committee and he left abruptly. "Then because of his failure to carry out the mission upon which he was sent, he was again barred from Korea. Again he became a school missionary, and after several years the attitude of his government changed, and ho and his wife were once more reinstated in its good graces." CATTLE FED MIXED SAWDUST Not Wholly Worthless as Food, Declares Lord Carrington, in House of Lords. London. Lord Carrington, president of the board of agriculture, was asked In the house of lords the other day why he had not prosecuted In a Devon casev of cattle food found to contain 40 per cent, of sawdust. Lord Fortescue thought it opened a new prospect for owners of timber. He replied that it consisted of a mixture of molasses and some absorbent material which was undoubtedly derived from wood sawdust but had undergone some chemical treatment which made it more or less digestible. IÜ3 board was still Investigating the case. He was informed that the sawdust so treated was not absolutely worthless as food. "Easy Marks," Writes Burglar. Paterson. N. J. When William T.

Tench was organised. It built the Manhattan bridge, is at work on tho Pennsylvania railroad terminals and is a recognized leader among firms which take enormous contracts, for structural steel work, excavations, and do other work of that sort. No undertaking seems too big for Terry & Tench, and they try to do things a little better r.r.d a little quicker than others. As the firm prospered Mr. Tench began to pay the .debts of his father. The claims of all persons whoso whereabouts be knew were settled with interest. A couple of weeks ago the residents of St. Cathrlne's, Ontario, were surprised when they read in their local papers advertisements for the addresses of the creditors of V. E. Tench & Son, who had failed in 1SS8. Some of these creditors were dead, some were near the end of life's journey, and others had moved away 3rear3 ago. Among those who answered tho advertisements was Capt. William Ross of Port Robinson, Ontario. He is now ninety years old and has very little money. He wrote immediately setting forth that his claim amounted to $143.40, and that when Mr. Tench found it convenient to pay the money it would be greatly appreciated. He was gratified to get a few days later not a check for $145.40, as he had expected, but a check for $298.30. the amount of the claim and the interest accrued. BETTING IN MILLINER SHOPS. English Society Vomen Inaugurate Plan to Charge Loss on Races to New Hats. - London. The ruses adopted by some society women to Indulge lnbet' ting on the turf without letting their husbaads know anything about It, as revealed In the West London county court the other day, very mach shocked the Judge, Sir William Seife, who, with all his experience, never before had such a case tried before him. It must, too, have been something of an eyeopener to some husbands, who have been at times puzzled to understand the immensity of their wives' millinery bills and ought to Induce them to scrutinize more closely these accounts in future. In this case the fact was brought to light that society women not only bought hats from a certain West end milliner, but Induced her to back horses for them, and that the Item In the bill, 4To one hat, $10," really meant "Desmond's Pride, $5 each way." "The correspondence appears to disclose a shocking state af affairs," declared Sir William. "I wish, that husbands who imagine their wives are purchasing expensive hats knew that Instead they aro investing the money on horse races." Telling Criminals by Hair. Paris.

Violets

By Clarissa Mackia

When Noel Osmond asked her if he might send flowers the night of the Hasken ball Milred Yard smiled enigmatically. "You are very kind, Indeed; and I am especially fond of white violets." iHer quick glance caught; hi3 .ittle start of surprise at the hint. White violets at that season were quite beyond the slim purse of young Mr. Osmond. Noel's lips hardened into a straight line. All the pleasure he might feel in knowing that Mildred would wear his flowers was lost in the though't that the flowers would hold no meaning for her beyond their novelty and extravagance. He did not remain long after that. Rather grave and preoccupied, he held Mildred's hand in his own for a brief instant and then went away. When he reached the florist's he turned in and asked for white violets. The clerk brought out a Jar of the white blossoms, velvety, exquisite in texture, but quite odorless. The price was away beyond Noel's pocketbook, and he hesitated. Of course they might be charged although he was poor himself, was he not the nephew of the rich Mr. Osmond and very likely his heir and he need not be mortified in tho sight of the girl he loved. Still Noel Osmond had come to the city with very high ideals of paving his way in the world and going without what he could not , pay for. The Yards were rich and fashionable people. But Mildred herself, the youngest daughter, was quite unspoiled oy It all. Noel had found himself tellir.g her of his fight for a place ia the world and the ambition that ktpt him bright and . keen eyed and fresh and clean hearted In the midst of a world of temptations. Mildred had seemed to understand and their relations had been growing a little closer and Noel was hoping hoping some miracle might happen "Your Buds Are Here." rhereby he might become rich In a day and so be in position to declare his love. And. knowing his poverty, she had expressed a wish for white violets! A telephone bell rang sharply and the clerk turned to tho instrument Noel looked wistfully at the jar of violets. How he would have enjoyed sending that great massvof white blossoms up to Mildred! What was the man saying at the telephone? , "Yes.Mr. Kenyon, we have a few white violets well, a good-sized bunch send them up to Miss Vard? Yes, air, thank you, sir!" He turned briskly to Noel. "If you do v not want these, sir. I have an order for them all." "I won't take them," said Noel, .turning away with a sick jealousytearing at his heart He knew Tom Kenyon well Tom was as rich as Noel was poor. He ordered pink rosebuds with grim, unpleasant mouth, and paid for them. As he strode homeward he felt for the first time the gall of poverty; he despised himself because he was too poor to be able to indulge the girl he loved. He could never hope to win her for his wife what had he to offer her save youth and a perpetual struggle to keep up appearances? Once more he would see her, would dance with her, talk to her; then he would go as far away as he could from this cold, unfeeling New York, where money was the standard in every walk of life. He would go into the west, where fortunes are made quickly, and perhaps some day, if Tom Kenyon did not step in between with his ready-made fortunebut it was very likely Tom would step In! The hours Intervening he spent In bitter calculations that only strengthened his resolve to cut it all and go away, and start his career over again in some city where Mildred Vard's lovely face and charming presence might never tempt him from work. He carried these bitter reflections with him to the Hasken palace, where The Roving Spirit. Man's nature retains some hint of the ancient nomad. The . old tribal yearning for a change of paVure, for fresh scenes and new activities, cre3ps upon him with a suasion that is hardly to be -existed. There comes a time when thought of plowing these same again becomes irksome to a dewhen the prospect of garnering , uncertain crop fall after fall till the vigor finally ooze3 from the bones presents a cliniai: of despair.

r so many millions rubbed elbows that it seemed to Noel that the very air of the lighted rooms sparkled with gold dust He saw Mildred dancing with Tom Kenyon. He had never been jealous of Tom before, but the episode of the violets had proved to him how weak his own standing was. And she wore cn the bosom of her rose-pink gown not his roses, but Tom Kcnyon's white violets! , Noel made himself very wretched that evening. He did not dance often, but he glowered in distant corners where he might watch Mildred's daik head. To approach her might be to invite a snub. When he did meet her It all happened su suddenly that he could not avoid the situation. He had wandered into the conservatory and was moodily watching the goldfish darting to and fro In the huge basin when there was the sound of quick steps on the marble floor and Tom Kenyon's deep voice saying: "Sit down here, Millie: I'll bring you an ice." Then he was gone and Mildred herself, flushed and sparkling, came around the big palm and came upon Noel at the goldfish basin. "Why, Mr. Osmond, I did not know you were here," she said as he bent above her hand. She drew away and looked at him oddly. "I'm in a black mood. Miss Vard," said Noel. "In fact I'm so grouchy that I think I'll clear out!" His eyes lingered on her upturned face with its wistful look that he had su?prised once or twice before. "I hope you are having a delightful time," he went on lamely. Her head drooped a little. "Yes, It is a lovely ball. Thank you for the beautiful rosebuds, Mr. Osmond they are just the color of my gown." Noel flushed darkly and his eyes rested on the white violets. With a sudden impulse of angry despair he touched the blossoms with a tentative forefinger. "I could not send you these," he said harshly. "I am too poor. Miss Vard I sent what I could afford to pay for. You are very gracious to accept the roses when you asked for violets. You see, I've made a big mistake I'm not in it with the other chaps I can't play the game!" . Somehow her hand found Its way to his arm and was timidly laid on his black sleeve. "1 asked you to send violets, Mr. Osmond, because I knew they were extravagant she said quietly. Osmond stared, puzzled, yet strangely thrilled by her tone. "What do you mean, Mls3 Vard?" he asked. "I wondered if you were like all the rest of them, living beyond your means, spending more than you could auord to pay for or whether you were what you appeared to be, working your way upward with the courage cf your convictions apparent in your actions! I am not disappointed, Mr. Osmond. If you had sent me white violets I am afraid I would have been quite disgusted with you." Noel's heart was beating hard. "Put I would have liked to have you wear my roses," he was beginning, when she touched the frill of pink chiffon that edged the lew neck of her gown. "Your buds are here," she said softly, and Noel saw that his pink roses formed a garland across her bosom above the violets. After that, events moved rapidly, and with Mildred's hands in his own and her head on his breast he was explaining all his doubts and fears since he had left her that afternoon. And Mildred explained that Tom Kenyon was engaged to her sister Ethel, and Ethel had pinned the white violets upon Mildred's gown, for generous Tom had sent her too many for one person. The miracle did not occur till the next day when Noel's Uncle Francis Osmond offered him a place In his banking house. "In order to learn the, business which you must one day inherit, young man!" he said sharply. "I've been watching you, Noel, and expecting you to fall Into the fast pace every day, but I'm disappointed, agreeably, my boy! 1 happened to be in that florist shop yesterday (looking at orchids behind a screen) and saw you turn down the violets and 'pay for the roses like a man you're the right stuff!"

ELECTRICAL NOTEU. The cost of thö transatlantic cable averages nearly $1,200 per mile. Electric Incandescent lamps are now universally employed for the lighting of street railway or trolley cars. Electricity is an ideal source ' of heat, as there is absolutely no loss in the change from e .ctrlcity to heat. A new electric arc lamp has the filament stretched but in a long line to distribute the light over a greater area. When selecting wire for carrying electric current, the mechanical strength as well as the conductivity must be considered. By pressing a button behind the counter a new electrical thief catcher for stores locks all doors and rings a bell in t) street. The lar' wireless station In Europe, that on the Adriatic sea at I'ola, Austria-Hungary, includes a 300foot tower built on a foundation of glas3. Incandescent lamps capable of being operated by the comparatively low pressures produced by a small voltaic or storage battery, are known as battery lamps. By using a stethoscope and sensitive telephone relay the heart beats of a patient In London were heard in the Isle of Wight by his physician, who diagnosed his ailment From an official report published on the eventual electrification of the Bavarian railroad the amount of power necessary for the transformation would be about C00.OÖO horsepower. To permit a motorist to explore the dark corners of his c'ar with a light, and yet leave his hands free, there has been invented an incar.descant lamp and reflector to fasten to the forehead. ANNOUNCES NAME OF STREET Ore of Most Interesting Inventions is Adjunct of Modern Trolley Car Equipment. One of the most interesting inven:ious which is an adjunct of the modern trolley car equipment is an autoaiatic street and station announcer. The system Is operated by. a circuitclosing device attached to the trolley pole which strikes a counterpart suspended from a cross wire close to the feed wire Just after a street is passed. Circuit-Closing Device. The connection releases an automatic switch, which starts a small motor, which in turn moves a roller and brings into view at the front. of the car, on the Inside, of course, the name of the next street or stopping place. A second roll contains advertisements. Keeps Vessel on Right Course. By the automatic electric mechanism of a Scotch mariner. Bailie J. C. Bogle of Selkirk, the compass is ptaced In control of the steering gear, and keeps a vessel on a predetermined course without aid from the helms man. A finely-adjusted Insulated lever. called the contractor, has one end connected to tho compass card, and is so constructed that the opposite end may make contact with either of two terminals, or contractor rods, con nected with a reversing electric motor that moves the steering apparatus. As the ship swerves from its direction, the contractor makes contact that completes an electric circuit, givin ,port or starboard helm, as may be ref quired. The ordinary steering mechan ;ism is retained unchanged, and the controlling attachment can be prompt ;ly disconnected when necessary, as when the vessel's course must be changed to avoid an obstruction or an other vessel. Electrical Fires. A New England electrical engineer discussed the important subject of the extinguishment of electrical fires. which he rightly says often call for judgment and prompt action. He warns operators against employin the stream from an extinguisher upon "live apparatus," in such cases the first precaution being to shut off tho current But there are cases where it is of first importance to fight the fire. A liberal supply of sand and dry powder Is recommended, and there have been times when a wet canvas tarpaulin has been used with effect in smothering an incipient blaze. Rubber in Fruit Skins. A cloudy emulsion pressed from the green fruit of the Martinique banana has been found to contain ten per cent, of rubber, equivalent to 50 per rent, of the dry weight of the expressed juice. Analysis showed that the green banana skins contain r much as 20 per cent, of rubber, whil. the dried skins yielded seven per cent, of rubber and seven per cent, of wax. resin and chlorophyll. Some varieties are reported to be even richer in rubber than the Martinique banana. Pictures by Telegraph. An Italian scientist sends pictures by telegraph by decomposing them, as it v.-ere, into elementary signs, designated by letters of the alphabet, which are transmitted In the ordinary way and retranslated into a copy of the ietnre again. Gigantic Electric Power Plant. According to the Canadian Electrical News, the Long Sault Development company, in conjunction with tho St. Lawrence Power company, proposes to build a 4,500-foot dam 43 feet high across the St. Lawrence river at the bead of the Ixmg Sault rapids and to build an electric plant o develop COO.OOO-horse power.

ELECTRIC FEN BALKS FORGER Inventive Native of India Brings Out Instrument . by Which Signature Is Burned. Since commercial paper took its place In commercialism the probabil ity of forgery of signatures has trou bled the public, quite as much as the possibility of counterfeiting bank notes and coins. News that an inven tive native of the Asiatic Indian pen insula has balked the forger, seeming ly for all time, will be read with material Interest Doctor Ghadiali, In London, has brought out the electric pen, by means of which the signature of the person is burned through and through the paper in minute dots. His system follows In a measure the modern can cellation of check or draft by the perforating stamp. Once a rubber stamp imprinting the word "paid" upon the face of such paper was sufficient; i:i the up-to-date banking house, however, the rule is established wisely providing that the word shall be stamped with a perforating machine which ever thereafter defaces the paper. In brief, this new electrical pen is carried in a clip connecting its point with 'an electric current of 10.C00 volts. Not until the writer has taken hold of the stylographic writing instrument and applies the finger pressure to close the electric circuit 13 the pen point active. A small desk 4with a glass cover serves to carry the apparatus. Over this outer glass cover is a sheet of aluminum, upon which the piece of paper rests. With the pen clasped In the hand and Its point brought down close to the paper, a crackling spark darts down through the paper toward the Inviting aluminum. Thereafter the writer moves the point of the pen Just as he would do In writing with an ordinary fountain pen trailing an ink line after. The difference Is that by regulation of the sparking current holes of different sizes and frequency may be effected, each spark burning In proportion as the current is increased. "Moreover this electric signature is Impossible of erasure. Virtually all bank papers are chemically treated so that application of moisture In any way disfigures any spot which It touches. The only way in which to effect the erasure of the electric signature would be to force paper pulp into tho punctures, which would be impossible. ARC LIGHT BATHING CABINET Physicians Claim Rays of Various Shades Have Curative Properties When Applied to Body. It is -a well-known fact among physicians that the blue, violet and ultra violet rays of light have decided curative properties when applied to the surface of the body. The lllus-. tion shows a bath cabinet built with the idea of providing a means of givArc Light Bath. ing such treatments, says Popular Electricity. At the left is an arc lamp so inclosed and situated as to throw its rays through the glass front of Mie cabinet and upon the body of the tient within. The color of the rays j controlled by a glass slide holder uu the front of the lamp In which glasses of different colors may ba placed in changing the treatment to meet the requirements of individual patients. Tho interior of the cabinet 13 white and at each corner, as shown, is placed an arc lamp and reflector. Rows of incandescent lamps are also arranged in the interior of the cabinet Modern electric hoists are so designed that the speed varies with the lead. Telephones on Steamships. The telephones used on the steamship Lusitanla are quite interesting. The induction coil, condenser and bell of the instrument are inclosed in a small white enamel box, and the switch hook which projects from one side Is provided with a special retainbig device to prevent the receiver from being knocked off by the motion of the ship. The receiver is allowed to rock on the hook, otherwise the lever would lift and make a false connection when the ship was pitching and rolling. . , . -
