Long Lost Jews
May Be Sought

indicate that the Jews as far back
as the Eighth century B. c. knew about
the Chinese
Another theory is that the Jews
made their way in considerable num-
bers to China after the destruction of
Jerusalem by the Emperor Titus In
20 A. D. 1t is known that very early
in the Christian era Jews were living
not only in Persia but in India.
The best testimony on the subject,
however, is that of the emigrants them
selves. They believed, according to
their medieval writings and inscrip-
tons, hat they settled in China about
the Third century of the present era.
This accords with other evidence
which historians consider trustworthy.
The weight of this evidence seems
to show that the Jews worked their
way eastward, sometimes under pres
sure of religious and racial persecu-
tions, such as took place In Persia as
early as the First century. and some
times in the role of traders seeking
new markets. The Romans called the
Chinese by name meaning silk
men," and the Jews Of Persia, and,
perhaps also of the Roman empire,
were silk merchants at very early
date. 1t is thought probable that they
followed the caravans through Cen
trail Asia, or went by sea to India,
and thence made their way into the
siIk-prodhcing regions of China.
Marco Polo Found Them.
For time these wanderers prob
ably kept in touch with members of
their race in the Western world Then,
as the Occidental Jews became scat
tered and the ancient trade routes fell
into partial disuse, they were cut off
and forgotten. They were not again
brought to the attention of the Occi-
dent, so far as Is known. until Marco
Polo found and mentioned them in
his famous travels toward the end
of the Thirteenth century. Polo said
that the Tartar emperor, Kubla Khan
"a model of religious tolerance-hon-
ored the religious festivals not only
of the Mohammedans and Bud
dhists but also of the Christians and
the Jews. making no distinction among
theme This is held to show that the
Jews must have been fairly numerous
and highly esteemed.
A Chinese inscription of the year
1889 bears out this conclusion. "They
excel in agriculture, in merchandise, in
magistrates and in warfare and are
highly esteemed for integrity, fidelity,
and strict observance of their re-
llgion."
A Chinese-Jewish inscription of the
same date says: "Our religion came
originally from Tien-tchou"-or, it is
believed by modern scholars, India.
This is thought to refer to a renewed
migration of Jews from India which
may have taken place about the Tenth
century The ancient Chinese name
for these newcomers was "Tiao
Kin Kiaou." which refers to detail

MORE NEWS

I'VE have another copy of Nature
land News on hand" said Billie
Brownie to the others In Brownieland
and Fairyland.
Il thought perhaps you would Ike
to hear what the news is, as we don't
believe Wen be getting out copy for
while, We have so many different
things to do and SO many engage
ments.
"And of course there is no regular
time for getting out our Natureland
paper"
They all asked Billie to read the
last copy, particularly because they
would not have another one for some
time.
So Billie Brownie began:
"There have been still more arrivals
at several of the ZOOS. Two pythons,
two chimpanzees. Mr.. Orang- Titan,
Miss Elephant, Mr.. and Mrs. Bengal
Tiger, many, many monkeys, gibbons
and birds, fine geese, cranes, vultures,
sea-eagles. lizards and good many
snakes have all taken up zoo homes
in this country.
1.-THE snakes, 1t Is said, travelled
best, as they did not want to be both
cred with food and they snuggled up
In their blankets in their travelling
boxes and made no fuss and caused
no trouble
"A ciyet cat caused trouble by get
ting out of his travelling compartment
and indulging in free meal Of birds
before he was caught.
"The bears are enjoying the sum-
mer time in the mountains and wild
woods and are not thinking of going
to sleep for some time as yet
The polar bears who live in the zoo
feel the same way as they always
have about the summer weather, for
they do not like 1t.
"The squirrels, woodchucks, gophers,
chipmunks and skunks are all enjoy
ing the summer. 1t is their favorite
season Of the year.
''Mr Chimpanzee was making silly
of himself before the crowd at the
zoo, and really behaving in ridicu-
lous fashion. So Mrs. Chimpanzee
gave him slap and told him to stop.
which he did, though he was much
ashamed at having had to be correct
ed in public.
"a great event has caused much
happiness among the Ocelots in the
zoo. An Ocelot, two months old, was
given to the zoo recently. An Ocelot
is wildcat, and though the little one
is only two months old he is as large
as the largest of tame cats, and with
his claws and teeth he is already
wild little creature.
young Danny discovered way OF
learning words and remembering them.
He called all the people in the house

by these new words he was learning
and learned them in this fashion.
1--WE should have thought it would
have been harder to have remembered
this way than any other. but Danny
says not
Mrs Cow gave a wading party at
the stream yesterday afternoon.
"A good wade, followed by good
chew, was had by all.
Grandfather Perky Pig celebrated
mis- birthday the other day. He gave
many hints beforehand and also ac-
tually asked right out for gifts, but
only good wishes were extended by
the other pigs.
Red Top, the rooster, oversight the
other morning 1t was a dull morn
Ing and Red Top was tired. But he
did not oversleep very much, he begs
MS to state.
Bling, the dog, states that he often
banks for the sake of barking. He
feels the need of little talk, as he
says no one wants to keep quiet all
the time.
When people criticize him he does
not feel it Ii fair, for he is of the
opinion that lots of people talk often
because they like to talk and not be-
cause they have anything particular
TO say.
Caroline, the little young lady with
the brown eyes and brown hair, went
10 kindergarten not long ago. She had
heard her family talking about it for
long time, and she was much excited
about 1t.
But when she got there she was
much disappointed at first as she had
fancied large part of the kindergar-
ten would be garden In which shs
could play and gather flowers.
"And this is all the news for this
time said Billie Brownie, "ano for
quite time"
"WeIi,p said the others, "iet US
know when you do get chance TO
bring out another copy SO we can hear

agreed.

TO kill the year round, makes no pro-
vision for the future. The elk expects
TO dig through the snow for his food.
The insectivorous bird follows the sea-

On the other hand, the beaver, an
aquatic animal which must have green
food deepens his pond so that 1t will
not freeze to the bottom and he can
swim under the ice to his pile of aspen
boughs. The cony of the Rockies
builds his little "haystack." The
squirrel hides nuts and cones. Even
the Twentieth century dog, which

Bones.
Man has the same instinct to lay
up food against the needS of the future
But, being man, he looks further ahead
and also experiments with kinds of
food and with methods of accumulat-
ing them. So man has figured out
that at the present rate of increase
In population the world will be so
crowded in the course of a few CEN
turies that it's people will have to
hustle to get enough to eat. There
fore the scientists are busy devising
ways and means to meet the coming
food shortage
Now, scientist without an imagina-
tion is not worth his salt. He admits
that the population Of the United
States has been doubling itself APP
proximately every thirty years and at
this rate of increase we will have 7O0,-
100000 people in less than one hun
%ired years. But, he asks, what Of 1t :?
And he goes on to paint picture of
life in America few hundred years
from now as unlike ours now as ours
is unlike that of the prehistoric Cliff
Dwellers of Mesa Verde National park
in Colorado.
In this coming life, he says, there
will be no kitchen, no dining room.
no milkman, no iceman no market
man, no gasman, no coal dealer. And
so on. There will be a super-organi-
cation of food supply, central heat and
refrigeration. Heat and light will be
sent by radio from generating sta
lions. Eventually the problem of
chemical nutrition will be solved; then
there will Be no fatigue and sleep will
be merely luxury. In short, it will
be super-world, with everything to
be had by pressing a button.
Offhand this sounds bit far-fetched.
But, with all that science is doing
these days, he is daring man who
