Clock That Is Never Wrong.

In the observatory of the Nichols
academy at Dudley, Mass, is the
most wonderful clock in the entire
united States and probably in the
world, 1t is the kind of clock that
tells dime three ways, and it's always
right. If the sun should be one Sec
ond slow in rising the clock would
register black mark against the orb
OF Nay and would tick its peculiar
record in spite of the sun. 1t is call
ed right ascension clock and cost
nearly $4,000. The designer and
maker was widely known genius and
the sidereal clock was the master
Piece of his life.
This clock was gift from HeZe-

Commanding the native force at Tier.
tsin was Seng-ko-lin-sin, Mongol gen.
eral, who later distinguished himself
less creditably. In 1860 he sought to
defend Tientsin against foreign ex-
petition by erecting an immense mud
rampant outside the city. Tientsin
was captured and held for two years
by the British and French and the
crude defense is known in the foreign
quarters DIS "Seng-ko-lin-sin's folly"
The region about Tientsin was
known as Chi-chou, under the Hsia dyn-
asty, whose rulers, 1000 years ago,
already had court astronomers who
could predict eclipses. Later it was
called Ya-chou, in the Chou dynasty,
marked by the western wars waged by
Mu-Wang against the "Dog Barbara
ans" thought to be ancestors of the
Huns. Tientsin dates back at least
to the fourteenth century.
Immense Salt Industry.
The salt industry in the neighbor-
hood of Tientsin is prodigious. Wind
mills are used TO pump salt water into
the fields III p..g the nailo river, where
the widely-known Chang-lu salt is
made. Before the war nearly 10000
tons were produced annually. But
Tientsin is important commercially in
many respects. 1t is rice market
and Siberia's tea formerly was shipped
through here. Exports were as varied
as the needs of the dozen or so nations
which had separate settlements along
five miles of the river front, and its
imports were as diverse as the com
modities those nations had to ex-
change.
The Peiho and HunhO rivers con
verge at Tientsin. From the latter tx
the Yangtsze-K iang extends the Crane
canal, that remarkable specimen o.
ancient engineering, mentioned by Con
fucius, which originally was more thar
1000 miles long.
Tientsin has more people than Bos
ton. 1t is the principal city of Chin
Ii, and is sc miles southeast Of Pekinl
by rail.

Only One Foundation.

Men best prove their right to rights
by making good in little things. Rights
are those things that grow out of uni
versal justice. In the last analysis
they are beyond price. Some folks
say they have bought the right to
certain things. That is only because
custom has commercialized them. Such
rights SAVIOR of monopoly and are as
unstable as the dollars with which
they are purchased. Right that rests
upon divine law may seem very tame,
but after all it's the only right that
abides amidst the rise and fall of EN-.
pires and the changing customs of
men. To such rights every man is
heir.-Exchange.

TIENTSIN, called the panorama

Americans and Japanese were invOlv-

Tended themselves for a month against
the fanatic boxers in 1900.
Since then the native city has been
known as Cheng-li, or "Town Without
Wallis" because the ancient barriers
were demolished during the siege. OF
the 800 doughty foreigners more than
fifty were killed and many others
wounded before military aid came.
Tientsin was the scene Of another
famous siege, that of the TAPPING reb-
els in 1858. Followers of Hung Sin
Tsuan, who had professed Christianity
and set himself up in Marking as the
Heavenly King" marched toward
Picking. But the Waterloo of the "long-
haired rebels so called because they
would not plat their queues and thus
signify loyalty to the Manchus, came

The success of the campaign against

PLEANINGS FROM FARM BUREAU
OFFICE.
Soy Beans Limited by Seed. II Seed
Could be Obtained, Many Who
Cannot Get Ii Would Plant.

Interest in soy beans has develop
ed enormously during the last two
years. The acreage seeded in Iowa
last year was limited only by the
amount of seed of suitable varieties
which could be secured. The expert
ment station at Ames reports that
ten farmers will seed soy beans this
year to one last year. There is con-
siderably greater supply of seed
than was available last season, but
it is doubtful whether there will be
enough seed to supply the demands.
Soy beans will be used most extern
siveIy during the next few years to
plant with corn for hogging down
and for silage, altho the crop will
also be grown to considerable extent
for hay and for seed production.
1t has also been found that soy
beans can be sown broadcast and
harvested for hay or seed purposes
by the use of a grain binder. This
greatly facilitates soy bean growing.
In a very few years this crop will be
an indispensable crop on Iowa
farms.
Among the hundredsof farmers
who planted a trial acre OF soy
beans on their farms last year, it
is almost unanimous verdict in favor
of soy beans in Iowa. The Agricul-
tural Experiment Association has a
good supply of seed for distribution.
Eight pounds of good variety will
be furnished for three different
kinds of experiments. Call at our Of
flee and we will arrange for these
seeds. Many farmers have already
taken advantage Of this.
