Notwithstanding this l decided to see
what l could. l rode In a %jinrikisha to the
gate Of the imperial city. and then walked
up the broad avenue which leads to the
pink forbidden city where the emperor's
body was lying. 1 was stopped at the
gate out of which the procession was TO
come, and made my wa over the road
built up for the funeral. This led from
the gate of the forbidden city, outside it's
walls, to Coal Hill at the back, The road
was about thirty feet wide and a mile or
so long. 1t was eighteen inches high,
made OF dirt carted in from the country,
and SO packed that IL was as smooth as
a floor. This road was already DIVIDED.
There were soldiers and imperial servants
of different kinds, hundreds of Manchus
wearing gowns of white saokeloth, mobiles
in long coats Of white lambskin and also
the eunuchs of the baby emperor clad in
red silk with red tassels upon the crowns
of their hats.
As l walked through the crowd the police
looked askance at me and the Manchus
evidently disliked my presence. 1 picked
out several spots which seemed good places
to view the procession, but whenever l
stopped a Manohu pointed to me, and a
moment later one of the blackened police
men waved his club at me and ordered me
TO move. l at first pretended that / could
not understand, but as the policeman APP
preached l went.
All this time the crowd was growing
Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-26

1t is near Marking that the founder Of,
the Ming dynasty is buried, and the tombs
there are somewhat similar to these tombs
Of North China. They lie under the shadow
of the purple mountains, and are reached
by an avenue q mile long, which is lined
with ~gigantio elephants, camels, lions and
tigers In marble. There are also many
stone warriors, each twelve feet in height.
At the end of this avenue is a great tower
with four arched gateways, and this tower
covers a circle OF black marble. This Is SO
large that it would fill an ordinary city
parlor, and II is made from one single block
of stone. The animals themselves each
weigh many tons, and some of them are
beautifully carved. One of the stone horses
has been thrown over, and some of the
lions and camels are broken, but the most
of them are as perfect today as when they
were originally made, about 800 years ago.
l ate my lunch sitting on the turtle in
the great tomb, and, as I did so, 1 could
look through one Of the doorways upon the
grave mounds of the Marking of today, and
could hear the wailing of a poorly clad
woman who mourned over a small hill Of
clay. 1t was the g~rieving of the poverty
stricken present among the imperial ghosts
of the past, and as the sound came to my
ears 1t was forced upon me that Of all
things upon earth the only king who relgns
supreme is death. His scepter sways from
age to age, and with his magic wand he
makes all men of one size.

Selecting the Tomhs.

The spots for these burial places had to
be chosen by geomancers. AS soon as the
two died the board Of rites, one Of the de-
partments OF the government, sent out the
witch doctors to select lucky locations.
They were told to pick out sites where
the evil spirits could not attack the dead,
and where no star on high, nor dragon be-
low, could disturb their repose. These were
found between the two currents, which, az
cording to the old Chinese belief, are sup
posed to run here and there through the
earth. These currents are along the tracks
OF the dragon and the tiger, and a lucky
grave should have the dragon on it's right
and the tiger on its left. 1t takes a scien-
fist to tell just that spot, and hence grave
finding In China is a well paid profession.
The ~geomancers pretend to calculate the
stars. and they go forth with books and
diagrams. They also carry forked sticks,
and try to hunt the spots much as our peo-
pie hunt places to dig wells. The search
begins with prayer. and IT is some times
hours and days before an auspicious loca-
ton Is found.
