Facts Gleaned From a Chinese Trav eler, Concerning His People and their Undeveloped Riches By W. A. Wyatt; Fow ot the Chinese know anything about thoir country. Most ot them arc nraviriclal. living and dying In complete Ignorance of tho people In other provinces, The following items concerning the Chinese Umpire were gleaned In con versation with a Chinese teacher In Manila. Uom In India ot Chinese Ayrlan blood, he bad gained a knowl edge of the English, as well as the Hindoo and Chinese languages. Hav ing traveled ovor much of China, his knowledge of that country had been gained by actual observation and in conversation with other learned Chi nese. The Middle Kingdom, the oldest and largest part of China, though civ ilized 4000 years ago Is In many re spects an unknown country. It pos sesses mineral resources so enorm ous as to threaten many American and European Industries, yet of this the Chinese' themseh-es know practi cally nothing. Instead of being one people as Is generally supposed, tho population ot China Is a composite of many races and types. In each of the 18 prov inces and states of China proper, and in Tibet and the Shan territory there arc remnants of earlier people, some of whom seem to have been driven by force from their ancestral homes, while others appear to be aborigines. Many trades and manufactures are kept n secret. Processes are handed down from father to son more sacred ly than heir looms. Inventions and discoveries are hoarded by their own ers so that very few reap any benefit from them. No Maps of Large Areas. -At least one-half of the country Is still unknown to the outside world. No two maps agree upon nny district in tho interior and of numerous large areas there is no chart whatever. The Middle Kingdom is larger than Canada, Brazil or the United States Including Alaska Sixty years ago the Chinese empire was estimated to cover over 5,400,000 square miles. Since that time Russia has taken a great area from her on tho north; France, a largo area on the south; England on the southwest and Ger many on the east, yet she still re tains 4,500,000 square miles. The climate has a wider range than that of the United States, Northern Mongolia comparing with Manitoba. and Southern Hainan, to Venezuela. Fuel for the World. The Britlnsh syndicate which has obtained the exclusive right to open and work the coal deposits of Shen-Si reports that the beds contain 10.000, 000,000 tons of anthracite, and 100, 000,000,000 tons of soft coal practi cally In sight The mining engineers estimate the coal deposited in this place sufficient to provide the whole world with fuel for 2 centuries. In the Amoy district there is similar deposit of coal to that of Shen-SI, which was discovered by the united states consul. He traced the basin for a distance of 50 miles and figured the bead contained at least 1,000,000,000 tons of coal. Not pound of this coal Is mined by the Chinese because they think that dig ging in the ground disturbs the repose of their dead, who would forth with 1-aunt the miner. Yet in Amoy fuel Is so scarce that grass roots are used by the poor for fuel, and the well-to-do ubc imported coal at ?8 to ?iu per ton. , An Eldorado, China's great mineral wealth Is the cause or the seizure of large areas by European countries. Shangtung, seized -by Germany, has inexhaustible deposits of coal and iron. Yunnan tho most southern province, Is famous In Chinese literature for Its burled wealth and England and France are rivals for the possession of it.

China would then be able to export these things, and, on ac count of the extreme cheapness of Its labor, would . compete most seriously , with the enlightened nations of tho 1 world. . I In the mounta'us between Quang-sl ! and Yir'nan dwell some people called bv the other Chinese, tho Ml-aotlzo, or "Monkey Men." These creatures arc said to have stump tails three or! four Inches long. Polyandrous People. t I In the high mountain valleys of1 Yunnan are villages of polyandrous people, 1. e., one woman has several husbands. They till small farms, raise cattle and are great meat eaters. They keep huge blood hounds with which to kill bears, wolves and tigers that infest their district. One of tho husbands stays at home with tho wife and attends to the farm, while the other husbands go, in the spring, to' distant high valleys with their cattle' returning in the fall. These people must be related to the hill tribes of! India who have a similar custom. ! The natives of Szech-nan are ahorl-1 gines, tall, strong and. brave, and are feared by other Chinese much as tho American 'Indians were feared by our loreiamers. Tlieso Deonle Drosnrvn their ancient language and system of wnung which Is entirely different from the Mongolian In structure.
