PAGE HIRER Peking, China.—The remains of an ancient Chinese city, the walls of which, liefore it whs destroyed by Chi na's first emperor more than two thousand years ago, seemingly inclosed more territory than Is within the spa clous walls of Peking. Iles beneath three or four feet of earth about lifty miles south of Peking, awaiting th« archeologist*, writes the Japan Adver- tlser. Carl Bishop, now In China for the Smithsonian Institution, is Interested In the long buried city, and It is likely that lie and bls assistant, A. G. Wen- ley, will pry Into the mysteries of the little known history and culture of Chinn during the ancient Sbang and Chow dynasties. About one hundred years after Alex ander the Great conquered Egypt, or late In the Second century B. C., there arose a king In the then comparatively small China who compared favorably With Alexander In conquests and em pire building and whose empire lasted almost until the present day. This was Ch’ln Shih Huang, or Shih Huang- tl ("The First Emperor**), whose rule, ending in 209 B. C., marks the close of the feudal period and the beginning of the empire In Chinese history. Shih Huang-tl subdued the feudal princes, built the famed grent Chinese wall and successfully defended the country against the Tartars from the north, standardized money, transporta tion, writing and other things which aided centralization, and destroyed as much of the ancient classics and tra ditions as possible, with the Idea that the history of the Chinese empire should begin with bls reign. Among the feudal kingdom« which Shih Huang-tl subdued was that of Yen. the capital city of which, Yen- chlng, was about eighty miles south of the modern Peking. Shih Huang- tl’s capital was In the present Shensi province, near the modern city of Slanfu, and the Kingdom of Yen was originally an outlying principality In trusted with guarding the country from the fierce Tartar tribes. Yen- cliing was In area an immense city, the residence of the royal family rul ing over a large district and one of the centers of a culture which In the Second century before Christ was more than two thousand years old.
