> ______ Prairies Fired by Lightning. x A "bolt of lightning set fire to the dry prairie grass in Hodgeman Connty, Kansas, a few days ago. A heavy elecf trie storm came up and the heavens were ablaze with lightning. The country was as dry as tinder, and a ?ea of dry prairie grass extended for miles. The lightning struck the earth, boring a hole in the ground six feet deep, and setting the grass on fire. There was a hiph wind, and before the q rain, which followed, could extinguish the fire it completely devastated a tract of country five miles wide by ten long, destroying fences, barns and farmhouses. The occupants of the houses * !- 1 oniy escaped wiui mejr nves> vy refuge in their "cyclone pits," which are dug out in the earth and covered with dirt.

This pit is dug durii the daytime when the tiger is aslec and every particle of that dirt is cai fully carried away by hand.

I sir ay HOW THE MAIL IS TRANSPORTED sts IN CHINA. ch Individuals and Firms Manage tho Postofllce and Perform Efficient Service?Guarding Against Robbery. IN a report just published by the State Department,Samuel Gracey, United States Consul at Foochoo, China, tells how the mail is carried in the "flowery kingdom." China has not yet established Government p'ostoffices or a postal system for the masses of the people, with all her adoption of modern ways, but private enterprise is depended upon to render communication easy between various .parts of the Empire. This private transmission of mail is conducted L through what is called "letter shops." No stamps are used, but the "chop" or sign of the keeper of the "letter 0 shop" is always placed upon the enf velope. In this country when the Government wishes to send a communication "A ^ - - -- -X """ rl IX lliCHIHfcH it IIJ UU CIUCIU^C ui?> ? "official" or "public?free" and it ve goes through the mail as other letters :h- except that no postage is paid. In he China imperial edicts and other offien cial communications are carried from ag city to city and province to province p, by couriers. Generally they make the re- trip afoot, but in case of great haste he they are provided with horses at conad venient relay stations. Official letters irt or dispatches are thus conveyed in is cases of emergency 200 or 250 miles a day. In districts where transmission ch of official comnmnications is frequent it, each station master is required to keep irs on hand from ten to twenty horses or r- donkeys, and the local representative ih- of the Government is held responsible lis for all delays that occur. These official he couriers, who correspond to our star to route mail carriere, are not allowed to th carry private dispatches or letters, their operations being restricted to the ve transmission of Government communion cations. of The public is served by the "letter im shops," a carrier system organized by By private enterprise transmitting the Jr- mail from one station to another. >m Consul Gracey says at the treaty ports m, the letter shops are used by natives A.n only, but in the interior, or at places ch not reached by the foreign poetal arQg rangement, they are employed by ' - -- -- _-ii at v an loreigners as wen, muugu uuichj uj ire missionaries. "These speak -well of nd the system for its security," he says, ity "but they do not consider it all that ;ht could be desired in respect to quickhe ness of delivery. It somewhat re8S. eembles our express business a;i it transmits parcels of moderate size and weight. It i6 said to possess two de)8e cided advantages over our western sysjfl tem?insurance against loss and [? monthly settlement of accounts. All letters and parcels to be sent may be cjj registered and insured." , Before a letter is mailed or delivered to the carrier its contents are digest P^yed, and the keeper of the letter |re shop then seals it and affixes his jn_ "chop," or sign, so that its point of w origin may be determined. Parcels ^ may be transmitted in the same n:an[or ner, the charge for carrying being a ve percentage of their declared value. (jje The shopkeeper gives a receipt for the l^r letter or package, and he thus becomes >0 responsible for its safe delivery or its ! ^ return to the sender, with seal unier broken. In some parts of the empire, jg the Consul saye, about two-thirds of .^,a the expense of transmission is paid by lft8 the sender, the remainder being col[j. lected from the receiver. Thus the he shop is secured against entire loss from ?>s transient customers and tbe sender j8. has some guarantee that his letter will ,e|. be conveyed with dispatch.

In Shanghai there are nearly e(j t*o hundred. Some of the shops emr(j ploy solicitors who go from house to - house working up trade, competition ^ in many cities being strong. Ib the jn northern provinces the shopkeepers imitate the Government and employ a se system of mounted carriers. Horses or donkeys are used, the relays being r about ten miles apart. Each carrier jn or messenger is intrusted with seventy 0f or eighty pounds of mail matter, and <s travels about five miles an hour?much slower than the Government carriers. For short distances and in central and southern China the messenger travels on foot at a rapid gait. When the messenger arrives at a station he hands 3d over the mail to a fresh carrier. "He starts at once," says Consul Gracey, "no matter what may be the hour of the day or night, and regardless of winds, rain, heat or cold, he continues the journey until he, too, has com" * -* - - -3- 1 "1-J1 i.1. ^ pleted iiis service ana jauuueu me parcel over to a th.rd messenger, and thus it reaches its destination/' ^ This ''pony express," like that W which was in use across the Western plains of the United States forty years ago, is sometimes subject to interruption by highwaymen, but the Chinese have a way of compounding such villainy and thus protecting their postal service. The robber bands of each district collect blackmail from the shopkeeper*, and for regular sums paid they not only do not molest the messengers themselves, but they agree to keep other marauders from doing so. Large firms engaged in the carrying business and in transporting travelers by carts between given points nre in the habit of contracting with the brigands for the safe passage of jl; their goods anil customers.
