Harold Harfagr in the year SSs
granted the islands of Orkney TO Earl
Eyner. brother to Duke Rollo of Nor
mandy. When Earl Eyner came to live
in his new possessions he found them
quite bare of any trees and producing
only very few stunted bushes
The Otkneys are bitterly cold and
wind swept. so when the inhabitants
had used up all the wood they could
procure they came TO their new earl
for advice He recommended them 10
cut out pieces of turf. dry them and
use them for fuel This they did with
such great success that the custom
spread to Scotland and thence to Ire
land and to many parts of England.
Earl Eyner was always known after
ward as Turf Eyner.
Peat rights were defined by march
stones with three whelks laid under
each and were jealousy guarded by
the townships or individuals 10 whom
they belonged. Throughout Scotland
up to the thirteenth century peat and
bogwood were universally used for
winter fires and broom and whin dur
ing summer.
Some etymologists regard the name
of peat as almost synonymous with
fuel, deriving 1t from the early English
'beten," to replenish fire.

My Dear Sister:
lsoareely know when l wrote last IN
you. The first OF May we, the Ham.
iitons and /, started for Pekine "a
synod. Mr.. Hamilton was III on the wsv
so We we're obliged to hurry on to Pekins
in very hot weather which used us ali
up. 1t was very poor time to visit the
capital, but we did our best In the mids,
OF dust and beat to get some idea OF thu
city of the Manchus.
Among the famous things visited yss
the Llama temple, the temple OF he earth
and the one where the largest bell in the
world is hung. The second largest was IN
Seoul, so now ! have seen the two largest
This bell has very pretty tone, it is
SAID, although / did not bear it ring
There is legend that when 1t was made
various bellsmiths were tried, but in
casting so large piece of bronze, one
after another, was spoiled, and the en-
peror caused the Iuckiess smith to be mt
to death.
Finally it was said, in only one
way could perfect bell be made, and
thst was by human sacrifice. The next
man who was called had a beautiful
daughter who had herd about the saeri-
fee. She loved her father so that she de.
termined to die for him, and Just at the
last momeat threw herself into the boil
ing liquid. As she did SO her shoe dropped
off and she cried: "Wsa I'll hsiain inns
shoe)l So now the bell sounds forth with
words like 'my shoe. my sboe". But it
being perfect, the smith lived and was
honored by the emperor.
We hsd picnic at the famous temple
OF heaven, which until after the troubles
was never opened to outsiders. The EN-.
peror himself comes here twice year and
sits on the great throne and aiterward
goes over to the altar OF heaven and offers
living sacrifices of cattle, etc. He had
jest been there before our visit. 90 every
thing WAS fixed up for him. The temple
itself is a magnificent piece of architee-
tnre with immense pillars and beautiful
carving.
Another famous temple visited had
some magnificent stone carvings. The
yellow tiles on all the royal buildings are
very rich and beautiful.
After very trying time In Peking on
account OF heat, came down to see Tsin
which Is q little Shanghai Here / had
some dentist work done, By this time
we felt too tired to start home, so went
up to Pei Lsi Ho, which is little summer
resort built up principally by mission
aries. This plsce on the sea reminded me
Of Maine, and got the best rect have
had since coming to China. The cooluess,
hen Peking and China were swelterng,
was godsend to us.
