Paris, May 31.-The threads OF
history, running far into the begin
nings of the world, are invisible to
most of the generations who see
nothing but their own problems.
They have a way, however, Of ap-
pearing now and then with start
ling reality and guiding contempt
rary affairs. Long before there was
any such thing as modern society,
with all its wars and intrigues, long
before Christ lived, there was an
ancient civilization rich in culture
and invention. That was China
who, with the Chaldeans in the
west, made the first astronomical
observances. They were the first
to attempt to plot the sky and
they made the first instruments by
which they could read the stars.
At Potsdam today there stand five
bronze treasures of ancient China,
five of the most exquisite examples
of the art and science of the east,
barking back to this civilization
which had grown old when Euro
pean civilization was just begin
ming. Their surroundings are not
congenial. They seem to dream of
other worlds. And so the threads
of history, tugging, are restoring
them to their ancient seat.
This is what happened:
In 1900 Baron Won ketteler was
murdered in the Boxer rebellion in
China. The German government,
greatly outraged, demanded repara-
ton and indemnity for the insult.
Under the protocol of 1901 the Ger
man government was given special
privileges in China. some buildings,
wharves and barracks for the NUM-
tions of warships and several OBJ
jects of art which they took from
the ancient observatory OF Picking.
Among these objects were FIVE of
the most beautiful astronomical in
struments ever made. They were
wrought in bronze and dated back to
studies made as early as 1000 B. c.
One of these instruments is large
devine resembling an equilateral
which was constructed in the 18th
century by Ko-Chou-Kung. astron-
on1er to the emperor of the 6rst Tar
tar dynasty and founder of Pekin.
1t was Ko-Chou-Kung who deter
mined with accuracy the obliquity of
the ecliptic and made attempts to
estimate the distance of the sun from

the earth. In this latter calculation
he failed, because he assumed the
earth to be fiat.
One of the most ancient chronicles
in existence. the "Tshun-King," re-
lates- how the emperor's two chief
astronomers, Hi and Ho, suffered
death because they neglected to pro-
claim the eclipse of October p, 2137
B. c.
Another instrument is huge
bronze quadrant, which was sent to
the Emperor Kank Hi by Louis
XIV, and a huge brown auxiliary
sphere, of the 18th centuryA
The most beautiful of all, however,
is the celestial globe made of bronze,
seven feet in diameter. 1t was con-
structed in l647 by one of the Jesuit
missionaries, Pere Verbiest, who had
charge of the observatory of Pekin
between 1861 and 172l. $751;.
These monuments of the ancient
glory and scholarship of China were
taken by the Germans who refused
to return them after the looting of
Pekin, when the armies of Germany,
France, Russia, Great Britain and the
United States entered the city to put
it in order. The troops of the diff
ferent nations were commanded by
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee,
who was chosen in defence to the
kaiser. E.
The observatory, from which
these instruments were taken IL
years ago, is massive tower of me-
dunn height, situated in the south
west corner of the inner city. Its
architecture is of feudal character.
resembling more the old gates of
the fortified city of the middle ages
than Chinese structure. Here un-
der a kind of shed that juts out
from the left of the tower the in
struments were kept.
By some of those mounted on the
ramparts of the observatory it ap-
pears that the Chinese anticipated
by three centuries many important
inventions. Ever since Gil B. c.
they have had trustworthy come
tary records and very early at
ternpts were made to proclaim the
eclipses of the sun.
The Germans took their pick of
the instruments and sent them to
Potsdam, where they were erected
for public inspection and alteration.

A search for the man was at once

work carried on by the public group"
Lane said, in his speech.
'Inasmuch as the burden Of the
quarrel between capital and labor falls
on the public it seems proper that this
group should undertake to find the
way. It recognizes the fact that people
of the United States are greater than
any party.
'The public group will be asked to
make a report and to give advice and
suggestions as to the Industrial policies
of this country, these to be presented
to the President.
Outside the weather looks gloomy,
but out west we call wet weather

from zoe, 900 to half a million men, were

strike.

INDUSTRIAL JPHEAvAL.
Many officials here frankly believe
the country is facing the possibility of
an industrial upheaval and that the en-
tire attention of the executive depart
ments and of congress should be
turned to avoiding it.
Chairman Lane today declared the
conference should be kept in session.
II think the two remaining groups
the public and the employers, should
stay on the job ana do their best tc

Wilson had in mind in calling the con.

would require three allied powers to

American ratification becomes effec-
