TIENTSIN, called the panorama city of China, came into pub* lie notice again recently be cause of disorders In which Americans and Japanese were involv ed. To walk about Tientsin is to trav el, says a bulletin of the National ?Geographic society. An afternoon's stroll from the native to the Brlttsh, French, Italian, Russian and other for eign quarters gives the sensation of a magic tour through Peking, London, Paris, Rome and Petrograd. And the windmills among the salt mounds Just outside the city add a touch of Holland. This panorama city hat* had a tem pestuous history. There a group of American and other foreign residents ? Herbert C. Hoover among them?de fended themselves for a month against the fanatic boxers in 1000. Since then the native city has be&n known as Chengdl, or "Town Without Walls," because the ancient barriers were demolished during the siege. Of the 500 doughty foreigners more thau flfty were killed and many others wounded before military aid came. ' Tientsin was the scene of another famous siege, that of the Taiping reb els in 1853. Followers of Hung Sin Tsuan, who had professed Christianity and set himself up In Nanking as the "Heavenly King," mafthed toward i Peking. But the Waterloo of the "long haired rebels" so called because they would not plait their queues and thus signify loyalty to the Mawchus, came at Tientsin. "Chinese" Gordon's Victory. The success of the campaign against the revolutionists was due principally to the gallant "Chinese" Gordon, Gen. Charles George Gordon, and ibis "ever victorious army." But the fact would not be suspected from reading the im? perial edict issued by the former con cubine who had elevated herself to Empress Dowager. The edict set forth that "this glorious victory Is entirely due to the bountiful protection of hear en, to the ever-present help of our an cestors and to the foresight of the em press regent." A tribute is paid to the Chinese generals, "who have been combed by the wind and. bathed In the rnin," And one of them was awarded the decoration of the double-eyed pen cock's feather. Commanding tbe native force at Tion# tsln was Seng-ko-lin-sin, a Mongol gen eral, who later distinguished himself less creditably. In 1860 he sought to defend Tientsin against a foreign ex- i pedltion by erecting an immense mud rampant outside the city. Tientsin was captured and held for two years by the British and French and the crude defense is known In the foreign quarters as "Seng-ko-lin-sln's folly/' The region about Tientsin was known as Chi-chou, under the Hsla dyn-j asty, whose rulers. 4,000 years ago, atrendy had court astronomers who could predict eclipses. Later It was caled Ya-chou, In the Chou dynasty, marked by the western wars waged by Mu-Wang against the "Dog Barbari ans," thought to be ancestors of the Huns. Tientsin dates back at least to the fourteenth century. Immense Salt Industry. The ' salt Industry in the neighbor* hood of Tientsin is prodigious. Wind mills are used to pump salt water. into the fields along the Hallo, river, where the widely-known Chang-lu salt is madQ.' Before the war nearly 20,000 tons -were produced annually. But Tientsin is. important commercially in many respects. It Is a rice market, and Siberia's tea formerly was shipped through here. Exports were as vnrled as the needs of the dozen or so nations which had separate settlements along five rnMes of the river front, and its > lrpports were as diverse as the com modities those nations had to ex* change. The Pelho and Ilunho rivers con verge at Tientsin. From the latter to the. Yangtsze-Klang extends the Grand canal, that remarkable specimen 6f ancient engineering, mentioned by Con fucius, which originally was more than I,000 miles long. Tientsin has more people than Bos ton. It is the principal city of Chih II. and Is 80*mlles southeast of Peking by rail. IcJf ' :? V? ? ? "V '~i - ? ? " -V. I . ? r ? K. Barton Holme*.

It appears that It Is not Infrequent ly the case that greut Inventors do not comprehend the significance of the I things -they have produced. Here are two examples: When Hertz first began to obtain satisfactory results from his now fa mous researches Into the possibility of transmitting electric waves certain men of science suggested that some day similar vibrations might serve to transnftt messages through space. Herts laughed at the hypothesis and assured all cortrera that his experi ments were for laboratories only. Now, after a few short years, It Is hard to find a single Issue \>f a dally newspa per that does not record some note worthy example of the use of wireless telegraphy. Levasrsor was the great engineer who sketched the automobile with such skill that his design has not been materially changed to this day." After Leraasor accomplished his historic trip from Paris to Bordeaux and v turn at the dizzy speed of about 15 mile* nn hour his admirers gave hlra a banquet. During the toasts one of them, stirred by the spirit of the oc casion, rose and enthusiastically called on the assembly to drink to the ap proaching day when carriages should travel at the speed of 60 miles an hour. Levassor turned to his nearest neighbor and asked in a quick under tbne : "Why Is it that after every banquet some people feel called on to make fools of themselves?" Only One Foundation. Men best prove their right to rights by making good in little things. Rights are those things that grow out of uni versal Justice In the last analysts they are beyond price. Some folks say they have bought the right to certain things. That Is only because custom has commercialised them. Such rights savor of monopoly and are fcs unstable as the dollars with which they are purchased. Right that rests upon divine law may seem very tame, bat after all it's the only right that abides amidst the rise and fall of pi res and the changing customs fcf men.
