The speaker mentioned that the reason there was practically no di- vorce in China was that above all things, a Chinaman must, so to speak, 'save his face" and would never want any family troubles air- ed in public 4s this would show that he did not have control of his household.

At mean tide vessels are enabled to pass from the river to the harbor, ya; from the harbor to the river and this occurs twice in twenty-four hours. : Just below the Falls is a deadly whirlpool, which, for the aborigine, Francis with a skillful stroke of his paddle, righted the craft for a mo- ment, but only for a moment, for the next instant the canoe shot down in- to another pitch and shot up again almost out of the water. This proved too much for Francis, bold and skill- ful as he was, for he was thrown out and the canoe upset. He was seen struggling in the turbulent wa- ters fifteen feet from the canoe with his paddle in his hand, and was tossed about mercilessly, but man- aged to keep his head above water, A rope was thrown by some work- men who were employed in repair- ing the Cantilever bridge, crossing the Falls at this point, but Francis was unable to grasp it. He suddenly held up the paddle in the air and sank, rising again almost under the bridge. He was by this time too far gone, so he sank again and was seen no more, . Meanwhile, Mitchell still clung to the canoe and a fortunate eddy caught it and drifted it into calmer water, He assisted the canoe in its movements by swimming as much as he could, He was taken out of the water, and 'when advised that his companion was drowned, was sadly surprised. His comment was "Too bad, he good fellow; should have held on to the canoe." : Mitchell went up to the bridge and proceeded to take up 3 collection, but this was too much for the crowd, which was too horrified to feel like making contributions.

BOLIVIA CALMER TENSION PREVAILS La Paz, Bolivia, Dec. 11.-~The patriotic demonstrations staged. by the citizens in most of the large cities of Bolivia during the last few days diminished today. Business houses re-opened and people re turned to their work, although in- tense expectancy prevails for ths final outcome of the border dispute with Paraguay.
