UNIQUE CHINESE RELICS.
ASTRONOMICAL INSTRUMENTS TWO CEN

APPARATUS WHICH THE EUROPEAN INVADERS
OF PICKING WANT TO CARRY AWAY.
General Chaffee's protest against the removal
OF ancient astronomical instruments from Pc
king boy the German and French military forces
has drawn fresh attention to those highly in
teresting and unique relics of Chinese ciyiliza-
ton. The Tribune reproduced a photograph OF
the Picking Observatory nearly six months ago.
This showed a large rectangular platform of
masonry on which We're mounted six eight
instruments, evidently in bad state of repair
and unprOvided with a dome or other shelter
from the weather. Through the courtesy OF
Professor J. * Rees Of Columbia University il
is possible 10 represent some Of that apparatus
more in detail Professor Rees heard of this
curious old institution and its equipment several
years ago, and took steps to secure pictures of
them. These were obtained through the good
Offices OF the American Ambassador to China.
Professor Rees is inclined 10 think that the
instruments did not originate with the Chinese.
They too strongly resemble devices which were
invented by the Scandinavian astronomer Tycho
Brahe who, though he never accepted the Co
pernican theory Of the solar system and never
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-12-16

used a telescope, nevertheless contributed large
ly to the advancement Of stellar science HLe
King OF Denmark gave him the little island of
Hoene in 1875. and thereon Brahe erected what
was then the finest observatory in the world
He died in 1901 at Prague more than thirty
years before Calico was compelled to recant and
fOrty-five years prior to the famous Italians
death.
FROM JESUIT MISSIONARIES.
Professor Rees suggests that the Chinese
probably derived their knowledge of Brahe's in
ventiOns not from visiting Europe themselves,
but through Jesuit missionaries who went to
China. Nearly or quite a century may have
elapsed from the time of their Invention before
the instruments were made and used at Picking
But even this suppOsitiOn leaves them over two
hundred years old now.
One OF the gifted Swede's most useful devices
was the quadrant. The essential portion of this
instrument was mounted move edge
wise in a vertical plane. and was pivOted at the
right angle formed by its two straight sides. BY
raising or lowering it until the uppermost of the
straight edges pointed to a star the observer
could determine the altitude OF that object if he
consulted 4 scale engraved on the curved edge
The frame in which the quadrant was erected
stood inside horizontal circle. also carefully
graduated. and could be turned about from side
10 side. In this manner the astronomer could
ascertain the "azimuth.' or angle between the

suspicion as to it's antiquity. all doubt would b
set at rest by an examination of the primitive
appliance for ascertaining the declinatiOn of a
star. which constitutes another part of tR
same device.
OTHER INSTRUMENTS.
The Chinese also had a celestial globe. hugo
bronze sphere. ON whose surface the stars were
represented by brass headed nails. The globe
could hardly have been less than six feet in
diameter. The photograph of this object and
some of the other apparatus shows them else
where than the platform of the observatory
They are temporarily placed near trees and be-
side small paviIions. By what hands and for
what purpose the removal took place it is i'm
possible to say Perhaps they were taken down
by tine Chinese themselves, for repairs. How
ever this may be. the partly dismantled condi-
ton of the observatory hardly justifies the pro-
posed vandalism of the invading military forces.
An important difference between the Picking
instruments and those of Brahe and his Euro
pean disciples is their OTnamentatiOn. The
founder of the HOerc Observatory exhibited the
utmost simplicity in his designs. and avoided all
detail that had practical use But the Mon
goans did not slavishly initiate. They welded
science to art. They covered their quadrants.
