Bieu emu, wnicn is 10 take place dur
ing the holidays. Ding will appear in
ms native costumte and sing few
solos, both. In Chinese and in English.
He haB an excellent second bass voice
which is surprising for a Chinaman.
This is Ding's second season on the
gtee club. Last year he and his part
ner, William Lai, made such a hit In
the concert at Portland, that a repre
sentative of th Orpheum otTered the
two of them the salary of $200 a
week, if they would go on the Or
phfium circuit. The ttwo Chinese stu
dents, however, took life too seriously
to accept a position in vaudeville. :
Harry Ding Is one of four or five
hundred Chineaa students in Ameri
can colleges, who are studying engi
neering.' with A view nf oMI nor In tfliA
developntont of China. Ding's cir
cumstances are somewhat different
from hlB fellnw Ohlnou elml.nta na
he was born and raissd In PortlandJ
Oregon. In fact, he ftas never et foot
in the Flower-v 'Klnertnm Unnravon
he has an intense loyalty to China,
and expects to go there as soon as he
finishes his collegiate course. Al
though raised In Omgon, Mr. Ding
never spoke the English language un-j
til he iwa fourteen years old, as his'
family used the Chinese entirely at
home, and 1I hfs jplaymates were of
Ms race. On account of this lack of
early training, he finds nglish to be
bis hardest course. .

Walla Walla, Wash., Nov. 2. (Spe
cial) By reason of the resignation of
Dean Hendrlck,. the task of complet
ing the Greater Whitman Endowment

tain that the city of Walla Walla and

siderable part of the burden of sup

expect hearty support from some of
the large farmers of Walla walla

- WILD SILKWORMS. "
Thiy Wuvi Ttoir Thread In Skelna
. Inside Tttair Huge Neata,
The world la Indebted to the Chi
nese for the discovery of the virtue
of the silkworm. ; Its product was Un
known In Rome until the time of Ju
lius Caesar, and so costly waa the ma
terial that even the Emperor AureUaa
refused a drees, of this lustrous fabric;
to his empress. . Now It ,1s nurtured
In almost every country, and Its prod'!
acts are within the reach of all. M
Besides the several domesticated
species, there Is a . wild silkworm
found in . Central America which
weaves a baglike structure two feet
la depth that hangs, from the trees.
At a distance the nest resembles a
hnge matted cobweb. The ; insect
makes no cocoon, but weaves the silk
In layers and skeins around the in
Side of the nest' From Tegucigalpa
there were sent to England some years
ago about six pounds of this silk,
There it was made Into handkerchiefs
not easily detected from common silk
of equal strength and delicate texture
There Is a curious silk producing
spider in Central America,' the nrana
de soda, which may be seen hurrying
along- with a load of fine silk on its
back, from which trail numerous del
icate filaments. Harper's Weekly.
