vHE ANTIQUITY OF cHEs&
Game Played for More Than Five
Thousand Years.

Chess, now being played between
! ocean steamers by means OF wireless
telegraphy, is the oldest of games, and
it is a striking contrast that it offers
itself for easy operation to the latest
triumph Of modor1 science. It was
generai,% assumed until now that the
ancient Indians had invented chess
that it was int. sluced from India to
Persia in the sixth century by the Ar
abs, and tE.;t in consequence Of the
, crusades it spread from East to West.
, It is true tie Chinese-who invented
many thing IN time long gone, but
which had 10 be re-invented in Eu-
rope-assert that they can trace chess
in their own country to about two
hundred years before our era. Now
there can Ger ai.lly be no doubt in the
character of the figures at present
used, and in some of the words con-
nected with the game, an Indian, Per
sian and Arabic influence is trace
able. Excavations on the pyramid
field OF Sakkara some time ago
brought to light wall painting. on
which a high official is represented as
playing chess with partner, at the
ti...e of TIE, government of King Teta,
who belonged to the sixth dynasty.
Prof. Lepsius formerly assigned the
reign of that monarch to about the
year 270O B. C. P1of. Brugsch, cor
