MEETS DEFEAT
Olympic Club Swimmers Are
the Victors in Closely
Contested Relay Event
GALLEY BEATS SCHULTZ
Australian Takes Lead at
the Start and Local Man
Never Figures in Going

The swimming tournament at the
Olympic Club last night brought out
a large attendance of spectators and
the close and exciting events were
greatly enjoyed by those present. The
event of the night, the relay race for
the John J. Gleason challenge cup,
was won by the Olympic Club team,
made up Of Galley. Leary, Sunberg and
Bonnifield. Galley. the Australian,
took the lead in the first relay and
the winged o" men led their oppo-
,nents, the Lurline swimmers, all the
way. Arthur Young. for the Lurlines,
made a great effort to regain the lost
ground. but the handicap was too
great and the Olympians easily fin
ished ahead in the fast time of $40.
The match race at 100 yards be-
tween Francis Galley, the crack Aus
tralian swimmer, and Otto Schultz of
the Lurline Club was a one-sided one.
Galley took the lead at the start and
won all the way, making the distance
i'm 1:O2. just two-fifths of a second
outside the American amateur record.
The other events were all good ones
and some exciting finishes resulted.
Robert Lundie, the crack boxer, won
the 50-yard Junior race for club MEM
bers in clever style. and the other
members of the club showed to ad-
vantage. Following are the results of

1T ORIGINATED IN CHINA.
The Suspension Bridge Idea Was
Taken from Their Primitive
Structures.

Suspension bridges, some of them of
considerable length, were common in
Peru in the days of the Incas, They
were formed of cables of twisted osiers,
passed over wooden supports, and
stretched from bank to bank; then
bound together with smaller ropes and
covered with bamboos.
The road from Cuzeo to Quito is still
noted for frail bridges of this sort,
which are in constant use, and span deep
chasms.
The Chinese. also, according to
Kircher. have for centuries been famil-
lar with the suspension" theory, and
have constructed chain bridges, in
which the weight of the roadway is sup
ported by the tension of the chains.
The first iron suspension bridge in
Europe was built over the Tees, near
Middleton, in 1741, for the use of min
ers. Two chains were stretched in a
straight line, steadied by ties from the
banks below: and the roadway. for foot
passengers, was supported by the chains.
The modern suspension system prac-
tically dates from 1916, when bridges
both over 100 feet in length-were sue
cessfully completed at Galashiels and
PEBBLES.

CHINESE ANCESTRAL TOMBS
Those at Mukden Are jealousy Treas
ured by the Tartar
Rulers.

To the people of the oceident the Chi
nese governments solemn announce
ment that it will agree to remain neutral
on condition that the sanctity of the an
aestral tombs at Mukden is respected by
both Japan and Russia is simply g
quaint sample of orientalism.
To the people of China and to the
reigning dynasty in particular it is a
highly important matter. In country
where ancestor worship prevails the
idea of making diplomatic issue on
such a question is by no means as fanci-
full as it appears to western minds.
The urgency of the present demand
regarding the ancestral tombs at Muk-
den can be better understood when it is
remembered that the entire country
surrounding that city is inseparably as
ISOLATED with the history of the reigning
dynasty, and in Manchu eyes is especial
ly holy.
China. as is well known, is ruled not
by Chinese, but by men of Tartar de-
semitic Manchus-who until the sew
enteenth century occupied the north
eastern part of the present empire.
The present emperor of China belongs
to a dynasty which is traceable back to
1859, when a leader of his race, Muir
hachu. arose in power and gave his fell
low tribesmen the name of Manchu
which means pure.
When his tribe overran its boundaries
in 1914 and waged war upon the Chinese,
it seized and established a throne al
Peking. but it lost nothing of its tradi-
tional reverence for the tombs and holy
cities left behind.

BIG TREES LIFE HISTORY.
Scars Show That California Sequoia
Was Scorched in 245, 144l,
1880 and 1897 A. D.

Remarkably reeuperatiye power fol-
lowing an injury was found after ex-
animation of the sequoias of the Con-
verse basin The facts are told in a let
ter from William Russell Dudley to SEN
ator Plat, says the San Francisco Ar
CONDUIT.
The effects OF certain tremendous for
est fires occurring centuries ago are
registered in the trunks of these trees.
and the record completely concealed by
subsequent healthy growth.
Among a number of similar cases the
most instructive record of these an
Gent forest fires was observed in a tree
of moderate size-about Is feet in diam
eter, five feet from the ground. 1t was
270 feet in height and 2,171 years old.
This tree when felled had an enor-
nous surface burn on one side, 80 feet
IN height and occupying Is feet of the
circumference of the tree; this was
found to have been due TO fire occur
ring in A. D. 1877.
The tree. when cut in 1900, had already
occupied itself for 103 years in its eff
forts to repair this injury, its methods
being the ingrowing of the new tissue
from each margin of the great black
wound
When the tree was cut the records of
three other fires were revealed. The
history of the tree is as follows:
271 g. c. it began its existence.
The first year of the Christian era it
was about four feet in diameter above
the base.
245 A. D., at SIC years of age, occurred
burning on the trunk three feet wide.
One hundred and five years were occu-
pied in covering this wound with new
tissue. For 1876 years no further in
juries were registered.
1441 A. D., at LIP years of age, the
tree was burned a second time in two
long grooves, one and two feet wids, re-
spectiyely
One hundred and thirty mine years OF
growth followed, including the time oc-
cupied by covering the wounds.
1880 A. D., at ! ,S51 years of age, oc-
Cured another fire, causing burn on the
trunk two feet wide, which took Sc years
to cover with new tissue.
Two hundred and seventeen years Of
growth followed this burn.
1897 A. D., when the tree was 2,06S
gears old. tremendous fire attacked 1t
burning the great scars is feet wide
One hundred and three years, between
1897 and 1900, had enabled the tree tc
reduce the exposed area of the burn tt
about IA feet in width
In each of the three older burns there
was thin cavity occupied by the char
coal of burned surface, but the wounds
were finally fully covered and the new
tissue was full, even. continuous, ano
showed no sign of distortion or of the
old wound
