HARVARD EXPOSITION
GETS SPECIMENS OF
- ANCIENT CHINESE ART
Cambridge, Jjuly 18.. (AP)—Manu
scripts 2,000 years old, some of them
in Sanskrit, original holy hooks of the
Budhist faith, a beautiful bronze mir
ror, and specimens of sculpture more
than ten centuries old, are among
the archaelogical exhibits brought
h%re by Langdon i- Warner, fellow
for research in Asia, of Harvard
University. Mr. Warner has com
pleted a tour which statred a year
ago through Western China.
"The trip, in which special search
was made for traces of early Bud
hist influences, carried the expedi
tion along the ancient trade route to
India and north to the Gobi desert
to an ol@eity, now in ruins, at which
Marco Polo outfitted, six centuries
ago, for his 40-day journey to the
Great Khan‘s capital, KarakKorum.
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 fron
_&i‘etp, Mr. Warner said, and has sur
roynded the city, of which the walls
st{/l stand, their sun-baked bricks
etfi:d and worn by the blowing
sand, but with the gateways, curtain
walls and bastions still plainly dis
cernible. Fine specimens of stucco
sculpture, the bronze mirror and oth
er finds were dug from the ruins.
Mr. Warner went in search of rel
ics .of the development of art in

, BE PERSISTFNT, THINK OF THE BEE
"~ Whenever you think your job is a hard one;think of the bee.
Remember that a red clover blossom contains less than one eighth of a grain of sugar, that 7,000 grains are required to
ymake a pound of honey, that a bee, flitting here and there for sweetness, must visit 56,000 clover heads for a pound of honey,
and that there are sixty flower tubes to each clover head. When a bee performs that operation sixty times 56,000 or 3,360,000
times, it secures sweetness enough for only one pound of honey! ,
B To achieve success one must be persistent and willing to pay the price of persistency.

‘China, which folowed the visits of the
earliest of Indian traders. He endeav
ored to collect all available speci
mens of the early art surviving the
centuries and to learn more of its
early development. :
Some of the manuscripts that were
brought back are believed to be
original holy books of the Budhist
faith. Some are long paper scrolls
in Sanskrit, brought from India, some
are copies of these made in transnt
and some are translations into early
(Chinese or Turkey made by Central
Asian converts. Their age is estimat
ed to be about 2,000 years.
iWhat he termed the prize of the
entire collection is a state of the
ninth century unearthed in Western
China, at a {Budha, but one of the at
tendant gods.
Mr. Warner told of discovering be
hind a small temple, high on the
face of a cliff, a cave-chapel whose
walls were literally covered with Bud
‘hist figures, of a very early period,
carved in the living rock. It is esti
!mated that the carvings date back
‘to 350 A. D. He told also of examing
}at Ho-nan, on the border of Tur
'kestan, some excellent specimens of
-wall painting.
The art treasures brought back will

aeological exhibits to the Peabody

in the garret, rats in the cellar and
everywhere else in the house was
what the health authorities found
‘here when they searched the home of
Fraueln Aurelia Mayer, who had
been supporting some 4,000 rodents
‘and considering them as her pets. In
'vestigation of the Mayer house was
begun because of complaints of the
neighbors. '
Fraulein Mayer, who took in sew
ing to make a living for herself and
rats, told the authorities she often
had scarcely enough to eat for her
self, but that her rats were always
amply provided for. She gave them
‘\bread and cheese, sausage and other
-morsels regularly, she said because
‘otherwise the rats might go astray in

UPPER CLASSES SHUN CLOTH
DECLARES ALABAMA BISHOP
Birmingham, July 18. (AP)—The
Bishop of Birmingham has expressed 1
himself as downcast because there
iz @ decided dropping off in the num- |
ber of candidates for ordination from
the upper classes. Writing to his
flock in the Diocesan Magazine, he
| says “We are not getting the sons of
our well-to-do people to come forward
for ordination as we expect.” 3
‘lt is true that the clergy are
poorly paid,” the bishop adds, “and
Ihave not great prospects of worldy
advancement. But it will be sad in
deed if the sense of vocation does
‘not run through England as a whole.
In olden days it was counted a glory
by our best families to give at least
one boy to the ministry.”’
“Our young men only need to be
shown,” the bishop concludes, “what
a splendid life of adventure for
Christ the clergyman may. lead in or
der to be stirred to the sacrifice of
their lives to the evangelising and
edifying of God’s people.’’
