HOW GOLD IS LOST.
Statistics Showing Use of Metal in
Arts and Trade.

From the Popular Mechanics Magazine
What becomes Of gold? 1t has many
channels of disappearance, according
to experts. figures show that more
than half of the annual output is en-
ployed in the fine arts and jewelry
trade. Thousands of pounds also are
used by dentists. One estimate being
that over a tom is needed every year
for the filling Of teeth. Then money
is worn away in handling, this loss
being placed at s1.250,00O annually.
Bank of England sovereigns are often
tested and found to have lost much of
the original weight.
or the imme quantities of the
precious metal that have been buried
away in the earth, it is believed COM
paratively little has ever been recov-
cred. The priests of Jeru are said to
have buried approximately $4,000, 900
worth of treasure to preserve it from
the clutches Of their prosecutors
None of this has been found, The
tombs of old kings of Egypt were
treasure houses, immense quantities
Of gold and jewels being einterred
with them. 1t has been estimated by
historians that Alexander the Great
became the master of great boards of
gold. all of which, so far as is known,

RARE CHINESE ART
BROUGHT TO i. s.
Harvard Expedition Returns
From Trip With Manu-
scripts 1900 Years Old.
By tho Associated Press.

By tho Associated Press
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. July 19-Man-
uscripts 1000 years old, some of them
in Sanskrit, original holy books Of the
buddhist faith; beautiful bronze mir
.Tor and specimens of sculpture more
than ten centuries old are among the
archaeological exhibits brought here by
Langdon Warner, fellow for research
IN Asia, of Harvard University Mr.
Warner has completed a tour which
started a year ago through western
China.
The trip, in which special search was
made for traces of early Buddhist in
huences, carried the expedition along
the ancient trade route to India and
north to the Cobb desert to an old city.
now in ruins, at WHICH Marco Polo out I
htted, six centuries ago, for his forty.
day journey to the Great khan's capi-
tai, karakorum.
All Life Extfnet.
At the ancient city, which Polo called
Edsina, neither vegetable nor animal
life is now possible. The camelS with
which the expedition proceeded, were
halted eight miles in the rear and were
used to haul water to the excavating
party.
The desert has advanced its from
tiers, Mr. Warner said, and has sur
rounded the city. of which the walls
still stand. their sun baked bricks
etched and worn by the blowing sand
but with the gateways, curtain walls
and bastions still plainly discernible
Fine specimens of stucco sculpture, the
bronze mirror and other finds were dug
from the ruins.
Mr.. Warner went in search of relics
of the development of art in China
which followed the visits of the earliest
of Indian traders. He endeavored to
collect all available specimens of the
early art surviving the centuries and
to learn more of its earlydevelopment.
Manuscripts Originals.
4 Some of the manuscripts that were
brought back are believed to be orig
nal holy books of the Buddhist faith.
Some are long paper scrolls in Sanskrit
brought from India some are copies of
these. made in transit, and some are
translations into early Chinese or Turki
made by Central Asian converts. Their
age is estimated to be about 1000 years.
What he termed the prize Of the en-
tire collection is statue of the ninth
century unearthed in western China,
not Buddha, but one of the attendant
gods.
Mr.. Warner told of discovering be-
hind a small temple, high on the face
of cliff, a cave-chapel whose walls
were literally covered with Buddhist
figures, of very early period, carved
i'll the living rock. 1t is estimated that
the carvings date back to $50 A. d.
He told also of examining at Ho-nan,
yn the border of Turkestan. some ex-
cellent specimens of wall painting.
The art treasures brought back will
go to the Fogg Museum and the arch
Geological exhibits to the Peabody Mu-
scum.
