Chinese Superstition
There are towers In Shanghai where
men watch for (ires. When one Is
discovered the fire-hell Is rung. When
the old custom house was built a
large clock was placed lit Its tower,
For some weeks after this clock be
gan to strike the hours there were
very few If any tires.
The Chinese sahl It was because
the fire-god thought that every time
the clock struck there was a fire an
nonneed, so he could rest without
helping. All those things seem rldic
ulotts to us but are very real to the
Chinese.
New York’* Early Day*
An article published In the Chris
tian Advocate says: “At the begin
ning of the Nineteenth century the
•commercial metropolis of the United
Slates’ occupied only the lower end
nf Manhattan Island, what is now ‘up
town’ being still made up of spacious
farms and country estates. Including
the little village of Harlem. The ac
tual measurements of the city propel
are given as three miles in length
(from the Battery to Fourteenth
street), one and a half miles in width
and eight miles in circumference.”
Man and Fish
A fish’s fear of man is born, n Car
negie Institute’s bulletin suggests, by
thc fact that he approaches from
above, a direction front which the fish
has learned to expect attack by birds
or other enemies. When a ntnn walks
on the ocean floor in diver’s dress, fish
large and small display the greatest
curiosity. Even the fierce barracuda,
after nosing the diver in friendly and
Inquisitive fashion, must be pushed
out of the way and goes without show
ing undue resentment. —San Francisco
Chronicle.
