It waa obvious that three made no party to this chance meeting. "Will business keep you In the city long?" inquired Beth.

His envoys and Intimates were able to please him immensely by sending him models and notes ot Inventions and none ot his subjects studied more carefully than he the reports on inventions of mechanical devices, which he utilized for the Improvement of conditions In the empire. ' Particularly attractive to the em peror were clocks and vatches. In the winter palace at Pekin and In the royal summer residence, some miles distant, were hundreds of clocks from all parte of the world, nearly all of different makes and styles. Nothing Is said to have pleased the emperor more than to tear a clock to pieces and then reassemble its parts. He became quite expert In the adjust ment of these timepieces. His col lection ot these contrivances Is said to have been one of the most com plete In the Orient, not only repre senting modern work, but the devel opment of time recorders through the centuries.
