MISSIONARYS LETTER
Help Must Come From Outside Before
Summer Starving Hordes Tear
Bark From the Trees and Eat It
Pathetic Recital of the Sufferings
From Famine
Pathetic details of the sufferings
from famiiie in Anhui and other prov
inces of China reach the mission
boards in every mail In a letter to the
board of foreign missions of the Pres
byterian church the Ilev Thomas Car
ter a missionary stationed at Hwai
yuen in Anhui province writes
I never really knew what the Lords
Prayer meant until today We came
to a village where some Christians
gathered for worship To hear that
company of men say Give us this day
our daily bread had a strange sound
when we knew that not one of them
had so much as seen bread for many
a day unless you call pressed sweet
potato vines bread Somehow that
prayer must be answered We cannot
let these people starve
A million persons in the region just
north of his station the Rev Mr Car
ter says will die of starvation before
summer unless help comes from out
side lie adds
Wheat Fields Flooded
It is only as we look closely and
ask questions that we find out the
real state of affairs We look at the
fields that looked so prosperous with
the winter wheat and we realize tha
those fields were all under water last
summer the fields of over 2000000
people and that the wheat that we
see will not be ready until June and
before that time unless help comes
the larger part of the people that
planted the wheat will be beyond us
ing it
And now we look again at the peo
ple who had come down to meet us
with their full rice bowls in the bowls
there is no rice The bowls contain
chiefly hot water and some weeds
gathered from the fields mixed with
a few grains of precious wheat
bought with the relief money just
given by the government relief that
amounts to about 3 cents gold given
only to the very poorest that is to
about half of the population
This is something of what famine
means now What it is going to mean
soon we scarcely dare to think for
it is still five months before wheat
harvest Already in many places the
bark is taken from the trees and
eaten
BIG DAM NEARLY FINISHED
Belle Fourche Project Is Worlds Lar
gest Earthen Embankment
The big Belle Fourche irrigation
dam in South Dakota which is the
largest eartli embankment in the
world is nearing completion Con
struction of the project was author
ized by congress on May 10 1901 at
a cost of 5000000
From an engineering standpoint the
Belle Fourche project is one of the
most interesting which the govern
ment has yet undertaken Its prin
cipal structure is the earthen dam
This wonderful dike which closes the
lowest depressions in the rim of a nat
ural basin is G200 feet long 20 feet
wide on top and 115 feet high in the
highest place
The inside face of this structure
which has a slope of two to one will
be protected from wave and ice action
by two feet of screened gravel on
which will be placed concrete blocks
each 4 by G feet and 8 inches thick
The cubical contents of this dike will
be 42700000 cubic feet or about half
of the famous pyramid of Cheops
The reservoir created by this dam will
cover about 9000 acres and will be
the largest lake in the state

Until recently the Toyo Kisen Kai- the ear in advance

bound from Yokohama to South Amer

ships carry coal to the proposed sta

Incident to these various negotiations
rumors have arisen that coal fields ex

One of the more persistent of these
rumors is to the effect that the South

TO PHOTOGRAPH IDEAS
Workings of the Brain Can Be Pic
tured Asserts Eminent Psychologist
That photographs of human thoughts
pictures of the ideas that pass through
the brain and are later expressed in
words may be taken on dry plates or
films developed and kept as records
of mental processes constitute the lat
est wonder of science for which a
wide and startling usefulness is pre
dicted by Dr Max BafT eminent psy
chologist of Clark college Worcester
Mass
We hear that such experiments
have brought surprising results when
carried on by Japanese savants says
Dr Baff and it seems to me that the
next thing is for us to go into the mat
ter in this country
As a method of taking such thought
photographs a capital way would be
to expose the film in a vacuum tank
and have the subjects whose thoughts
are to be photographed placed near the
tank even with their heads against it
To develop the film roll after it had
been unwound in darkness with a pair
of subjects thinking on a given sub
ject while it was being unwound would
show extremely interesting results It
is a matter for close investigation and
should be taken up in a long series of
carefully conducted experiments
