EYES NEVER CLOSE HERE Followers of Confucius Must Be Interred in Native Land to Reach Heaven. Ia >X ANGEIiES, May thn<- Id tlu> next six months a ship will lsasve San T><1ro with tbe most ca rtons and (rrewsome cargo that ctpt lett Southern California. The cargo will consist of the remains of be tween B,000 and 6.000 Chinese who hare died In tbts country in the last 30 years. It will be tbe largest single removal of human remains In the world’s history, and the preparations Pave been carried forward so quietly that no comment has been occasioned. Hearly a year ago the Chinese Con- edlldated Benevolent Association of Sati Francisco, sometimes known as tbe Chinese Six Companies, took out permits for the removal of the re mains of fh# Chineae who are buried in Northern California, and op to this time more than 5,000 skeletons have been eolinmed and prepared for ship ment. Sealed in Tin Boxee. The bonea are carefully wrapped, each in a separate piece of soft cloth, in order that they may not be dallied by handling nor injured by undue friction, and are then placed in a tin box and carefully sealed. On tbe out side of the boxes are placed charac ters giving the name and the family of the deceased and the village, dis trict and province from which he catne. When tbe cargo reaches China the remalna will be taken in charge by the relatives and friends who in many cases have been waiting for them for more than 50 years and will be in terred with all due hoifors that should bo accorded to such ob have adven tured far Into strange lands. The Chinese Benevolent Association of Los Angeles is now seeking permis sion to take ut> the remains of their countrymen who are burled in South ern Ca'iJqtTtia. This work will he !>e- ii* aK soon as tbo necessary permits are grunted, and since there are less than 1,000 Chinese buried in this part of the State, will not take more than three or four months. Eyes Never Close. The Chlneee believe that the eyes of the dead never close as long as they are buried in a foreign land, and how is ono to rest in the long sleep if * the spirit may not close its eyes? When a Chinese leaves home to en ter another country and seek fortune, he goes in a totally different way than does a man of any other nationality. There Is in it the spark of adventure, and the average Chinese makes no ef fort to maintain his station in the country to which he goes. We And scholars and poets working in kltch- eps and over laundry tubs, in order to get the wealth necessary to return to China and hold his proper position there. Until late years, there were no Chinese who did not fully intend to return, so their fellows feel that they are only doing their duty in sending the remains back to relatives and thus ending the pilgrimage. When the work of exhuming and preparing these bodies has been com pleted a ship will be chartered, prob ably one of the Dollar line, as Cap tain Robert Dollar is one of the best friends the Chinese have.
