Astronomical.

Some curious and interesting astro-
nomical phenomena are recorded in
the old Chinese annals which go back
to a great antiquity. In 6S7 B. c. a
night is mentioned without clouds and
without stars. This may perhaps re-
fer to total eclipse of the sun, but
if so the eclipse is not mentioned in
the Chinese list of eclipses. In the year
141 B. c. 1t is stated that the sun and
moon appeared of deep red color dur
ing five days, phenomenon which
caused great terror among the peo-
pie. In IA B. c. it is related that a
star as large as the moon appe ared
and was followed in it's motion by sev-
eral stars of ordinary size. This
probably refers to an unusually large
bolide, or fire ball. In 3S B. c. fall
of meteoric stones is recorded.

KEEP CHINA INTACT,
GALL|NGER'S DEMAND
Republican Leader in Senate
Offers Resolution to Main
tain "0pen Door" Policy.

An echo Of the complications In the
far East which have arisen in conse-
quence Of the European war was heard
in the Senate today.
Senator Gallfnger, Republican leader
of the Senate. introduced joint reoolu-
ton reaffirming the desire Of this coun-
try that the territorial integrity OF
China be maintained and that the "open
door, be respected.
The resolution further takes the po-
sition that the United States cannot
view with indifference any suggestion
looking to the alteration Of the existing
status quo of the islands Of the Pa
cific and Oceanica, or to any change In
the character Of their present occupa-
ton and settlement.
In introducing the resolution, Senator
Gallinger also presented memoranda
pointing to the fact that in the waters
Of the Pacific, within striking distance
Of the Philippines. Guam. Hawaii. and
even Of the Panama Canal and the Pa
cifc coast, are islands owned by Ger
many, France, and Great Britain. This
memoranda 10 intended TO make 1t plain
that the United States cannot view
without apprehension any change IN the
existing situation in the Pacific theater.
Senator Gallinger's resolution was re-
ferred to the Foreign Relations Commit
tee. 1t is hardly expected 1t will be per-
mitted to emerge, inasmuch as the Ad-
ministration at this time deprecates dis
cussion Of such subjects.

ROTARY CLUBS GOLD
WHEEL IN CAPITAL
Designed as Invitation to Expo
sitions, $4,000 Trinket Is
on 60,000-MiIe Trip.

The golden wheel, presented to the
International Association of Rotary
Clubs by the affiliated rotary clubs of
California, reached Washington this
morning on its more than So000-mile trip
to the individual clubs of the associa-
ton in the United States, Canada,
Great Britain, and Ireland, and was ex-
hibited to the members of the WASH
ington Rotary Club at a special meet
ing and luncheon of the club held at
1880 o'clock this afternoon at the New
Ebbitt Hotel.
The gold wheel, consisting Of large
gold band more than thirteen inches in
diameter. with seven gold wheels set
between its spokes. representing the
seven rotary clubs Of California, and
III smaller gold wheels. emblematic of
the other affiliated clubs. is made from
California gold. and Is valued at $1o.-
900. The idea Of constructing the
wheel. which is designed as an invi-
tation to all rotarians throughout the
world to attend the expositions to be
held next year at San Francisco and
San Diego, originated with the San
Diego club.
When constructed it was taken, af-
ter exhibition at all of the California
rotary clubs. by representatives OF the
several organizations to the convention
of the International Association Of
Rotary Clubs, at Houston, Texas. in
June Since then 1t has been on exhi-
bition at each Of the rotary clubs
throughout the Southwest and South. It
was shipped to the Washington club
from the Rotary Club Of Norfolk, Va,
and tomorrow morning will be sent to
the Rotary Club of Reading. Pa
A majority of the eighty-four n,en-
bers of the local club attended the
luncheon at the New Ebbitt. where Hol-
combe G. johnson, secretary OF the
club, presented the wheel to Joseph M
Stoddard. the president. John Dolph
and George W. Harris. members Of the
club, who attended the Houston con-
vention. told of the presentation Of the
wheel at Houston. The wheel was later
placed on exhibition in a window OF the
Federal National Bank.

France may have some of these bat

The whole thing serves well to have

Il be so utterly impossible for the
Kaiser, well guarded and fortified by

to try his hand at an English inva-
sion? Once on British soil, the
game would be almost UP for Brit

AS to these Zeppelin dirgible air
ships. While we do not, for one
single moment. give credence to the
report published in New York
German evening paper. that these
night and returning before daylight,
thus far have sunk thirty-nine battle
ships, yet according to the old adage,
that where there Is smoke there also
must be fire. and considering that this
report has been repeated twice by
that paper. which names as its au-
thority the wireless station at Say
vile. L. l.. there may be some truth
in the report after all, and though the
result may not be thirty-nine big
ships nor ANYTHING like it. the very
iiisistence indicates that :here is a
great deal Of military va.or In these
big and unwieldy aircraft.
The closing sentence of this col
umn yesterday contained the ques-
ton: rs there another Sedan in
Petto?" To Judge from the latest
news this morning there Is. The
Staats Zeitung publishes q cable
declaring that the Germans were
but twenty-five miles from Sedan
yesterday and hurrying toward that
mountain stronghold in the Arden
mes in great haste. Being able to
do this despite the big force needed
to invest Antwerp and operate to-
ward an outlet to the English Chan
mel as well, seems to indicate that
the German armies must have the
upper hand thus far In Luxembourg
and French Lorraine. I have told
already that the best chance for
the Germans to get into France with
least cost of human lives Is through
