CHINESE ASTRONOMY.
Chicago News.)

At Pekin exists highly curious proof of
China's early superiority over Western
nations in the shape of the wonderful oh
servatory close to the city walls. The old
est of its curiOusly beautiful bronze in
conquered the city in 1873. Metal aStro-
nomical instruments were unknown in
Europe before Tycho Brahe.
Astronomers whom Kubia brought with
him found that some of the instruments.
which were trophies of ancient wars,
were unsuited TO the latitude of Pekin,
so the cOnqueror had others constructed.
Two of these can still be seen among the
others, where they stand exposed 10 all
WeatherS and apparently uninjured by
time or climate. other instruments were
added about the Year 1870, at the begin
ming of the present dynasty, when the
Jesuit fathers were in favor with the
Emperor Kang Hsi.
One of them, Father Verbiest. who was
director of the Astronomical board, caused
some six instruments to be set up. The
largest collection of instruments is found
on a large terrace of brickwork about
forty feet square and seventy feet high,
which oVerlooks and forms part of the
city wall. Al the top of the stairs which
lead to the terrace the visitor is con-
fronted by a large celestial globe.
1t is seven feet six inches in diameter,
and has the planets and principal con-
stellations shown by raised stars OF q
bright yellow bronze fixed upon the chloe
olate brown body of the globe The OBJ
servatory is now disused, and children
play unrebuked and trees grow uncheck-
ed among the instruments, here and there
misplacing the masonry and disturbing
the appliances.

M'kINLE AND CHRIST

There is an episode related that aptly
illustrates Thomas B. Reeds opinion of
PRESIDENT Mckinley. 1t is probably one
OF those stories which are related on Reed
that have made him so unpopular with
the head of the national administration
AS the story goes. Reed was walking
down pennsylvania avenue in Washing
ton one evening after the house of rep
resentatives had adjourned, accompanied
by Congressman DalZell of Pennsylvania
and Congressman Payne of New York
During his term as speaker he was al
ways Joined by these two on his daily
walks. Those who have been in Wash
ingtOn and have visited the capitol no
doubt remember the monumental store
about square from that building. AT
a point in front Of this store Reed brought
his two companions to a stop. In the
window of the marble works were dis
played Statuette of the NaZarene, and
a large sized statue of Mckinley The
statuette was probably eighteen inches in
height, the statue was life size. Putting
his arms through those of his two COM
panions, Reed nodded his head toward
the window and, with his New England
accents, drawled out: Il want you to
look at the comparative size of the two
individuals"

A college girl. slipping down TO. New
York last month, for a Sunday at home,
found presently her seat in the train
shared by young man. His appearance
betrayed his species-the sort in whom
assurance is developed at the expence of
breeding-and in few moments his con-
duct talked with his looks.
Finding that staring and smiling were
ignored. he offered newspaper to his
companion, which was declined by nod
of the head; then a magazine. also de-
clined. Undaunted. he hazaTded the re
mark that the winter was very mild
No notice was taken of this interesting
statement. but he followed 1t with others.
suggesting that the train was crowded,
the management of the road poor to per-
nit ii, arrival in New York might be de-
layed, and several other equally impor-
tant communications.
Finding that silence was to be no pro-
lection to her. the young woman finally
turned. Il see" said she. "by the motion
of your lips that you are talking. As
am stone deaf it will do you no further
good to continue the conversation" The
young man recognized his Waterloo, and
fled incOntinently TO another car.

George Knight. They all Travelled the
same awful path. and each aggravated

A sad ending for a brilliant, whole
souled, lovable fellow.
Talking about metropolitan newspa-
pers reminds me that a great property
is being ruined by a woman whose
temper Overbalances her judgment. The
death of Benjamin Wood threw the
control of the Evening News into the
hands of his widow, and nice mess
she is making of it, Setting out to
enforce economy, Mrs. Wood reduced
the working expenses to the tune of
$4,000 year by discharging the bust
ness and advertising managers, and
nearly all of the editors and reporters
Today the staff of the News consists
of che editor, two copy readers, who
also do reporting, labor and sporting
reporter, couple of advertising clerks
and bookkeeper. The result is a de-
cided deterioration in all the news de-
partments. slOvenly makeup and a
severe loss in advertising. Unless
Colonel William 7. Brown, who owns
one-third of the stock, is soon able to
get control of the paper he will lose
the $4,000 per annum he has been en-
Joying for nearly twenty years.
While there is no reason for doubt
ing that Senator Clark of Montana did
give a check for 100000 toward the
Bryan campaign fund, the only wonder
is that Chairman Jones did not get
half a million. They do the thing much
better over at the other headquarters.
II all we hear is correct. How times
have changed in half a century, A po-
litical campaign is now not only ex-
pensiYe, but exhausting, the machinery
being complex in it's ramifications. Mil
lions for defense, not penny for trib-
ute is now rendered millions for a cam
paign, but not a penny of tax on the
rich mans income.

When the news of the relief of Lady
smith became generally known, Lon
don went mad with Joy, and through
out EuglaHd scenes were witnessed
which are without parallel in the
memories of this generation. The
lord mayor of London Immediately
tclegraphed congratulations to Gems
White and Butler. When the queen
received the news at Windsor. the
bells on the Curfew tower of the cas-
tie rang in honor of the event. The
storm of jubilatiOn centcred around
the mansion house, and by noon
thousands of persons blocked the APP
proaches of that building. Flags,
handkerchiefs and hats waved frantic
ally and mighty shouts went up for
buller, Roberts and White. All
thought-of business was forgotten.
Nothing could be done on the stock
exchange except sing God Save the
Queen and cheer. Stores closed and
the mayor ordered n holiday for the
schools. All over the United Kingdom
those scenes were duplicated.
In Glasgow. Liverpool, Birming-
ham and Edinburgh whistles and toll
bells chimed. aud crowds paraded the
streets singing and shouting
