A complete and carefully drawn plan to overthrow the present government and further world revolu tion la contained in a secret Spartacan circular to its agents and district chiefs. The document, which was secured by the "general bureau for the study of bolshevlsm," begins by regretting that the government signed the peace treaty, thereby delaying tho inevitable crisis. The document speculates on various possible developments and then sets forth a concrete plan, the first step of which would be to hasten nn Internal German crisis by tampering with the home guards of Oustav Noske, mlpls ter of defense, which are declared to be less reliable than formerly. The circular urges Spartacan organ izations to agitate among the soldiers by leaflets and verbally. The railroad men, the document says, can be counted as won for revolution. xne postal worners are aepresseu, according to the circular, which goes on to say that the program with re gard to the peasants Is complete. The winning over of. the peasants !r de clared to be important, for without their sympathy or with their enmity revolution would be difficult, if not Im possible. Delay in provoking the revolution Is rather welcomed, "as It will enable further education of the proletariat; but every moment and every situation must be utilized toward the final goal." Development of Army Searchlight. A review of the work of the army engineer corps In the war, first Is sued by the war department, says that the corps produced a new form of searchlight more powerful Hum any 4hat had preceded It In any army, with which the Second field army hud been partially equipped.

Still fur ther to perfect the searchlight, our en gineers were at work on n reunite con trol when hostilities cousijj. Scientific American.

Impulse That Rules Yellow People Keeps Nation From Extinction- White Men Cut Little Figure In Vast Land. The procreatlve Impulse rules China as the Manchus never ruled it. Three out of four babies die, but the fourth Is more than enough. Kill 100,000,000 Chinese and In two generations there are more graves cluttering the earth, but as many living as ever. The principal product of China is cheap, rice-fed men, who work and starve, or perhaps freeze to death In the cold January nights, or die by the hundreds of thousands in periodical famines, or obstinately survive and raise more cheap, rice-fed men. There are hundreds of millions of them with vision bounded by a bowl of rice and the desire of male offspring. The race Is like the sea, Inexhaustible, imperish able. It does not wither away at the breath of western civilization. It does not disappear. It does not go under. It persists. It Is, moreover, an Impermeable race ; to attempt to Interpenetrate It la as hopeless as to pour water Into a Jar filled with mercury. I thought of Macao, Walter B. Weyl writes In Harper's Magazine. The Portuguese hnve been there more than three cen turies and have contrived to make of It a beautiful city, living on opium, gambling and other devices, like a pretty prostitute In pink ribbons. The picturesque streets have Portuguese names, but the city Is Irredeemably, unalterably Chinese. Look down from the greeh-clad hills upon the flat roofs, blue and green and red, of the clus tered, wind-swept city, and you see the homes not of Portuguese, but of Orientals. Of a population of 75,000, only a scant 2,000 claim a dubious Portuguese origin. The same Is true of Hongkong, with Its British bund and Its foreign banks, and Its few thousand white-faced men surrounded by swarming Chinese. In the Hongkong city of Victoria, which is a narrow strip between the granite hills and the bay, the wealthy white Inhabitants are forced upward onto the terraced hillsides, where their charming semi-tropical gardens look out upon the blue water, while below on the narrow plain, inundation after inundation of Chinese fills the city to the saturation point. There are dis tricts in the city Chinese districts, of course where the population averages more than 640,000 to the square mile (1,000 to the acre), and the crowding tends to become worse. It Is a Chi nese city. So, too, Tientsin, Shanghai, Hankow, though they have their foreign conces sions, small European islands in an Asiatic ocean, are in population un mistakably Chinese. The white man comoH nnd pops: he lives on the SUT- "Perfect Dream" of a Man Put on Bargain Counter Claire MacDonald of New York city proposes to commer cialize the sacred institution of matrimony. MacDonald has been appointed "business man ager and personal representa tive of the handsomest young man outside the movies." It la his idea to sell this young man as a husband to a lucky Chi cago girl. "He Is a very fine chap from a fine family," writes the man ager, "and believes that as marriage Is a chance anyway, he stands as good a chance of meeting his soulmate in this way as In any other. He is will ing to have me sell him, and agrees to marry the lucky girl, regardless of her age, religion and previous condition of servi tude, provided only she is white." A photograph inclosed reveals this little bit of heaven. It Is a high light profile of a dreamy youth, something of the choir boy type, with curly silk hair waving back from a noble forehead.
