5 THE TEMPLE OF HEAVEN.
These several cities are separated by
enormous walls; the connecting gates
have their peculiar forms and social or
religious significance and each section
has its special temples, while the temple
lately burned stood outside of the last,
and was as far as possible the temple of
progress for all Chinese of all races and
faiths. The prohibited city" is inside
of the imperial city, the latter being six
miles in circuit. The various gates and
buildings are designated as "gate Of
extensive peace" +"palace of earth's
repose," "hall of extensive thought"
"gate of heavenly rest" and "tem-
pie of eternal peace" Outside are
temples for the two races Of China as
well as churches for Catholics, Greeks
and Protestants, a mosque for Moham-
medans and several ordinary buildings in
which Jews and Christians may conduct
worship. The Temple of Heaven, how
ever, had in a sort Of way become mat
ter Of pride and interest to ALL even to
foreigners of all faiths.
It is well to remember in considering
Chinese news that the people we now
hear most of and know most of are not
the Chinese who first appeared in history.
The people known to the ancient Greeks
as seres, inhabiting q region afterwards
called Serica, were more like the present
Japanese; and the old records say that
the wife Of their emperor, Hwang-ti, first
experimental with silk worms, and about
1850 years ago first succeeded in reeling
the silk thread-that is, unwinding 1t
from the cocoon. In the daysof Alexan-
der. the Great raw silk was imported
from Serica (China). but in the reign Of
Justinian "a. D. 527-565, two Christian
missionaries in China concealed the eggs
of silk worms in reed cane and SNUG
gled them overland to Constantinople,
and thus was begun the western culture
of silk. 1t is fortunate for history that
three Italians, the Polos, reached China
soon after the conquest by the Tartars,
remained there many years as the guests
Of Kublai Khan and gave the western
world an idea of that wonderful change.
This was in the Thirteenth century,
and from Marco Polo's book (marred
though it is by extravagances) one gets
an idea that religious liberation then pre-
vailed to some extent, and that even at
that early day enlightened emperors en-
deavored to encourage the policy indi-
Gated in the services at the Temple of
Heaven. The astonishing fact is that
there were then, apparently, more Chris
tians in China than now, and that the

en- their place in the science of astrono-
my. He soon after published work in
dicating the movements Of the satellites
Of Jupiter from 1866 to 1900, which has
taken high rank. In 1877 he began
the search for the planet lying beyond
Neptune, which was indicated by the
calculations of himself and others, but
the search is SO far unsuccessful
In 1878 he took charge of the United
States government expedition to observe
the total eclipse of the sun as it appeared
in Texas, and in 1881 he accepted the
chair at Amherst, which he still holds.
Besides doing much valuable work there
he directed the observations Of the tran
sit Of Venus in 1882 from the Lick OBJ
sservatory, and little later organized the
remarkable expedition to the summit Of
Fujiyama, the sacred mountain of Japan,
12,600 feet high. He has been an inces-
SAINT worker, astronomy being a perfect
passion with him. The degree of PHI D.
was conferred on him by Washington
and Jefferson college in 1888, and he is
a member of American and European
6clentlflc societies.

SEEKING THEIR FORTUNES.

Day before yesterday four school girls
ranging in ages from 70 to 10. who live at
Newton, became dissatisfied with their
home arrangements and started out into
the world to seek their fortunes. From
what could be learned of the affair it does
not appear that they had any very good
reasons for leaving or any very definite
idea of where they were gong or what
they were going TO do. AS soon as they
were missed Il search WAS instituted and
yesterday two of them were found in Hal
stead and taken home. The other two
named Rosa Penny and Lulu Slack fol-
lowing the railroad walked to Wichita,
arriving here just sitter dark. The father
Of the latter had traced them here and
supposed he mu I have arrived about one
hour behind them. The proof that they
had come here was conclusive but no trace
could be found OF them after they enter
ed the city limits. The father Is very un-
easy about their welfare naturally but was
compelled To give up the search until this
morning.
The taller one is described as being
dressed in dress in which the red pre-
dominates with hat 10 match but without
Il wrap. The shorter of the two wears
gray cloak. Both OF the girls are blondes
but not of the pronounced type and of
pTepoSSessing appearance.

MATERIAL NOT SELECTED AS YET.

Work on putting stone down on outside
of rails of the Central Avenue & Eastern
on First street, wherepaving improvements
are being made, commenced yesterday. So
far not a street railway company has de-
cided what material will be used in paving
between the rails. The word has been
given out at offices for some weeks they
were figuring but no action. Yesterday
the reply was that few days more would
settle the question and work would COM
mence. Some of the property owners on
Market street, south and north, seem to
as the paving company has passed along
never to return until repairs are to be
made it is time the street car tracks get
down to grade so the street can be used.
