GOLD WATCH IS TAKEN
Actions of Two CoIored Men in Rig
Attracted Attention, and They Are
Thought to Be Perpetrators.

While Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Beng
ston, 1016 Twenty-second street, were
away from their home Saturday evening
burglars entered the house and took a
gold watch and some small articles of
jewclry. Valuable silverware and 9th

untouched. Entrance was gained by
means of a first floor window which was
pried open, after the screen had been
cut. Entrance was also gained to the
residence of Hugh Curtis, next door
but as far as can be learned nothing
was taken. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis are out
of the city, and there was little jewelry
and valuabIes in the home.
COIOred Men Suspected.
Shortly after s o'clock two colOred
men were seen driving about the streets
and alleys near the homes entered, and
about o'clock some one was heard
fumbling at the rear door of the home
of Martin Reidy, on Eleventh avenue
near Twenty-second street. About this
time the two COlOred men drove through
the alley at the side of the Reidy home
and stopped near the rear of the Curtis
home. These two men are thought to
have been the perpetrators of the bur
glary.

The spirit of purely Chinese art IN
stone is shown in work such as the
great monolith figures Of animals and
warriors which flank the approach to
the tombs Of the Ming dynasty and
in the perfectly plain structures de-
signed for the tombs Of the present
dynasty.
These are composed Of enormous
blocks Of stone brought with infinite
labor from distant quarries over roads
and bridges which are hardly capable
Of sustaining ordinary cart traffic, ami
have always to be specially prepared to
prevent the great weights causing
their collapse
The same admiration for the employ
ment of huge Slocks of stone is seen
in the cases of the bridges over the
rivers along the coast of South Fu-
kien, where the stone slabs used in
the construction occasionally measure
sixty feet in length and are estimated
to weigh nearly 100 tons, and the
bridges themselves have q length of
1000 to 1000 yards.
-Inalmostall cases where the buildings
are not of solid construction the weight
Of the blocks employed has placed a
strain upon the supports which the
architects skill was not competent to
provide against, and with the lapse Of
time the melancholy spectacle is seen
of slabs fallen from then places and
of noble and costly structures ap-
preaching ruin. In some cases the in
terdependence Of the arches leads to
the same result. One very notable I'M
stance Of tbs occurred during Colonel
Gordops campaign against the Tatp-
ings, when. to allow of the passage
Of his small steamers, it was necessary
to make gap in bridge of over
twenty arches, and arch after arch
collapsed Immediately after the pas
sage Of his small flotiIla.

The mail service between the island
of st. Kilda and the coast is doubtless
the most remarkable of is kind in the
world. Since very few mail steamers
visit st. Kilda, the inhabitants fre-
quentIy set adrift their mail in tin
cans, which they cover with cotton
wool canvas. The can is tied to sheep
skin bags. inflated with air. and
marked ''St. Kilda mail. Please cpen.'
One of these cans made the journey
recently from st. Kilda TO the Shet-
land coast in sixty-two days.
