IN SEARCH OF WOODCOCK IN CHINA. 
(Continued from page 189.) 
what it all meant. The following colloquy then 
took place: 
“What are you doing here?” inquired the 
minister of the law. 
“Shooting!” replied we. 
“Shooting what?” he asked. 
“Woodcock.” And we held up, somewhat 
rashly, our victims. 
“Do you not know that this is a strategic 
zone, and that not only is shooting forbidden 
here, but you are even prohibited from putting 
foot on this hill?” 
“No, certainly not!" I replied. 
“But,” said he, “there is a notice yonder to 
that effect. And he pointed to a small white 
stone mark some distance away. 
“There is nothing on that stone but paint,” 
I answered. 
“That is. true,” he retorted, “but on the other 
side is a small wooden post, and it is on that 
the notice is written.” 
“We have not seen it,” I protested. 
The policeman smiled sceptically. “Are you 
quite sure?” he asked. Of course we were, and, 
indeed, it was not till afterward that we found 
the post in question, a small block of square 
hewn wood scarcely 18 inches high and covered 
with Chinese characters. 
“Where do you come from?” he went on. 
The answer was obvious. We gave him our 
names, nationality, and addresses. He pricked 
up his ears when he heard them, reflected for 
a few moments, and then said: 
“I am glad you are not-” and he mentioned 
a nationality not at that moment very amicably 
disposed toward his own, “for then I should 
have been under the painful necessity of refer¬ 
ring your case to a higher authority. But since 
you are - and therefore, good friends, I will 
take upon myself the responsibility of letting 
you go without further question. But, please, 
don’t come here again.” 
“Strategic zones” are not things to be lightly 
tampered with, and glad, therefore, were we to 
get off thus easily. With mutual expressions of 
esteem we parted, and then I understood why 
no one ever climbs the Dairen Fuji, and also 
why it holds woodcock when a town bristling 
with sporting guns is so near at hand.—

EMERGENCY RATIONS. 
“So vital is food to the existence of an 
army, and so closely is its activity restricted by 
this necessity, that any extra weight that may 
be left out without impairing the value of the 
diet is of moment,” says a writer in the Dietetic 
and Hygienic Gazette. “Many years ago the 
English army authorities sought to solve the 
problem. 
“At first sight it seems easy, for of the ordi¬ 
nary articles constituting the soldier’s ration 
a large proportion consists of water. Much 
more is made up of non-nutritious substances, 
cellulose, etc., if these were excluded material 
saving in weight would be effected. 
“Accordingly, the ration was, so far as 
could be done at that time, deprived of the non- 
essential elements and reduced to a cake one- 
eighth the bulk and weight. It was calculated 
that the soldier could then carry a week’s rations 
in the same bulk as had been occupied by the 
allowance for a single day, and his mobility 
correspondingly increased. 
“The trials did not result favorably, for the 
men looked with suspicion on the little cakes, 
and consumed the same bulk as that to which 
they had been accustomed, eating a week’s 
rations in a single day. They asserted that they 
were not satisfied with the portion intended, but 
demanded that the stomach should be filled, as 
it had been by the big rations. Whether this 
was a truly 'physiologic need or merely a 
psychic one was not ascertained at the time, and 
the experiments seem to have stopped there. 
“Some time ago an old shipmate, now on 
the retired list, called my attention to an 
‘emergency ration’ prepared at the instance of
