BURIAL RITES IN CHINA.
UNITS OF POWER.
T i n Mara t h . Banner« tha Greater tha
Henere to the Dead.
Oampariaan of Capaoity of Man, H«raa,
Staam and Claetrieity.
The many curious customs of
the Chinese have been a constant
source of wondsr and amusement
to the American tourist in Qhina.
By far the oddest but most im­
pressive of their ceremonies is the
burial rites for their dead. The
Chinese hold their dead in high
esteem and shower honors upon
their memories by burning incense
and candles daily. They also honor
their relative* who hart died many
years before.
As soon as a Chinaman dies Us
relatives embalm him. Dressed in
his richest sarmenta, he is placed in
a teakwood coffin, solid and sir
tight, and tbs coffin ia closed and
sealed. It is then placed in front
of the family altar. This altar is
hung with richly embroidered
draperies and decorated with flow-
ere, vases and josses. The period
of mourning begins at once, espe­
cially among the women of the de­
ceased’s household. They start s
daily lamentation over their lose
and ere joined in their occupation
of wailing By relatives and friends.
The male members o f the family
are busy digging the grave, while
the women folk, assisted by the pro­
fessional mourners, do the wailing.
The grave is half under and half
above toe ground and is inclosed
by s crescent shaped wall about
two feet high. Another thing to
be prepared for the dead is a minia­
ture house, which is provided with
miniature furniture. This idea is
to provide the deceased with all the
comfort« of a home in the regions
where he is going. An image of
the deceased, together with drink­
ables and eatables and money, is
»laced on the coffin the day of the
uneral. '
The image is not buried, but is
burned in the presence of the
mourners, who during the process
shriek and make the moet frightful
noises. This is to drive out the
evil spirit with which the dead man
a supposed to be possessed. When
the funeral services are over the
mourning banners are taken home
and used as ornaments on tha bare
whitewashed walls o f the rooms.
The more the banners the greater
the honor paid to the dead. The
miniature house precedes the
mourners to the grave. Then fol­
lows the elaborate hearse, draped
with rich dark bine velvet, with
silver frihgee, borne by the natives.
The mourners, too, are supposed to
assist in carrying it, which they do
by holding on to the white cords
attached to the hearse. Refresh
ments ere served at the burial
ground, and at the end of the serv­
ices the friends and relatives par­
take o f the food to show their ap­
preciation.— New York Herald.

When Sir Herbert Samnel in his

story o f a bishop who telegraphed
to a friend, "Third Epistle John,

since then appeared in *0 many
places in so many guises that its
origin has become questionable.
One paper, referring to the many
"twists” which have been given to
the tale, wonders "where Sir Her­

“ Eighteen hundred am peres; two
thousand volts,” I read, wondering
what that had to do with horse-
,power.
“ The capacity of a dynamo,” con­
tinued my friend, almost residing
my thoughts, “ is given by the prod­
uct of the amperes and the volts
and is measured in terms of s unit
called a watt, or more generally in
terms of a unit a thousand .tunes
larger, or the kilowatt. The capac­
ity of the machine is 3,600,000
watts, then, or 3,600 kilowatt*. Or,
as the kilowatt ia one and one-third
times as large as the horsepower,
this would make some 4,800 horso-
wer. Since the engine that drive#
is generally a little larger than
absolutely necessary, its horsepower
in this case will probably run be­
tween 5,000 end 6,000.”
s“ What is a horsepower, anyway?”
ssked. “ I have used the term
often enough, but have
known just what it meant.”
“ This unit of power,” he oblig­
ingly went on to explain, “ is, as its
name indicates, shout the power
that can be steadily furnishea by a
good sized horse. More exactly, it ia
>aefined as s rate of doing work
equal to 33,000 foot pounds a min­
ute or 550 a second. A foot pound
is the work done in lifting a pound
one foot high, so a horsepower en­
gine could, for example, lift one
pound 550 feet high in one second,
or fifty-five pounds ten feet high.”
“ What would be the power of a
man, then ?” I asked.
“ It is difficult to say. For steady
work it might not avenge much
more than a tenth o f a horsepower,
hut, strange as it may seem, for
short spurts a man can do more
than a horsepower. Thus, a 150
pound man can ran upstairs for a
few seconds at a rate of fou r feet
vertically a second, or even more,
and this would mean 600 foot
pounds a second, or well over a
horsepower. I f he was able at the
same time to make use of his arms
he could probably increase this by
half..
“ But this must not be interpret­
ed,” he went on to say, “ as mean­
ing that a man is as strong as a
horse, for, jnst as a man can ex­
ceed his normal power for short
spurts, so a horse could generate
several horsepower for a few min­
utes at a time. So it is probable
that an excited runaway team is
nearly if not quite the equal in pow­
er to a fair sised automobile with
its twenty odd rated horsepower.”
