Asthe language possesses no alphabet, the Chinese require a. difi'erent symbol for each meanin . All Chinese symbols can be divid into two main classesâ€" nsxnely : radicals and combinations, the’lntter being formed b the addition of strokes to the radical. i ative philiolog- ists, however, divide the symbols into six classes, of which the first represents the forms of objects, numbering 600 or more, and includes the 214 radicals which form the basis of every symbol in the inn- tmee . . . The second class indicates things that represent ideas by their relstive posi- tions. The third class of symbols, of which there are said to be about 700, represents the combination of ideas, and they are tamed by uniting two or more significant characters to give the ides of a. third.

According to some writers the whole num- ber of s mbols is over 40,000, of which, ofter d noting the obsolete ones, about 25,000 are said to be in modern use. This vast number of symbols is expressed by only 400 or 500 syllabic sounds. which. by way of different intonation, are in to about 1,500, or. according to some suthorities, to onlv about 1,200.

A Bird That Can Give the Mn]. Pointers on Kicking. Dr. E. Usher of London, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a. sports- man of note, who has been in Arabia. and other remote parts of the globe huntin for big game, has arrived here from orth Queensland and the desert region known as the North Territory of Australia. This is an enormous stretch of country thousands of miles in area, infested by cannibals. in which are giant emus, nombat and Wallaby. It was tohunt the emu thlt Dr. Usher made his trip_ there. ,, LL_L l-â€" _-_ot. mucus» nay sun... “A party of us went up in that far north region,” he said last night. “We were among the cannibals, who are great in size, being six and a half feet high and physically perfect. It is a dry, sandy region for the most part. Burns in large numbers are to be found over this territory. We hunted them on horseback, and it was rare sport, for the reason that they can run as fast as a horse, and a very good one at that. We found the catching of emns almost as in- teresting as coursing, besides having a certain spice of danger about it. “An emu can kick as hard as a horse. "I have seen men kicked so hard by this vicious bird that their legs were broken. If I had my choice of being kicked by a horse or an emu, I think I would take the “horse. The emu stands on'one leg and with the. other strikes a quick and most paral ' blow. I never would have be- lieve that a bird had such power had I nothsd ocular evidence of it during this tri .
