A WAY TO WIN SINNERS.
How California Chinamen Are
Converted Occasionally.
Carried Away by the Charm* of Almond-
Eyed Inmates of Christian Missions
They Give Up Gambling and
Renounce Joss.
Many and unexpected are the ways by
which sinners are sometimes led into
the fold and the approaching mar-
riage of Ah Leen furnishes an instance
of this.
Ah Leen is a good little girl who lives
in the Presbyterian mission at San Fran-
cisco away from the pomps and vanities
of this wicked world. Every Sunday
however she goes religiously to church
along with the other girls who have
been rescued by the kind-hearted ladies
of the occidental board. The passing of
this procession is an opportunity eager-
ly seized by the eligible bachelors of
Chinatown who turn out en masse and
line the sidewalks along the route each
good one cherishing the intention of
asking Miss Culbertson for the hand of
the girl who strikes his fancy most. As
for the wicked they know that it is use-
less to apply. Now one gay and spright-
ly bachelor was particularly struck a
couple of months ago by the beauty of
Ah Leen. He watched the procession
pass with eyes only for her and when
she had entered the sacred edifice in-
stead of resigning himself to go home
he made amighty effort to overcome the
prejudices of early education and fol-
lowed her into the church. From that
date a change has come over the bach-
elor. He no longer burns punk at the
shrines of his countrymen nor does he
dissipate money in having his fortune
told; in fact he has become in every
way worthy of Ah Leen to whom he is
soon to be united.
During the present strained condition
of things in Chinatown however he
shrinks from the notriety of having his
changed condition commented on by
his friends. Courtship as it is under-
stood in Chinese circles is a somewhat
tame and practical affair. There is a
AH LEEN.
regular routine at the mission in which
a compromise is made between Ameri-
can and Chinese customs. The bride-
groom-elect may see his future bride
he may even converse with her from op-
posite sides of the room but the propri-
eties would be completely outraged if
the betrothed couple were to shake
hands. Two or three times a week the
fiance makes a call of from five to ten
minutes’ duration and if he is desper-
ately enamored he never goes
empty handed. Sausages are a gift
that is highly appreciated and Chinese
vegetables are also much esteemed.
Fruit is frequently brought to the en-
gaged ladies both in the Presbyterian
and the Methodist missions but it would
outrage Mongolian etiquette to bestow
candy. The love-making is generally
monosyllabic on the part of the young
lady and even the man finds his gift
of conversation languish. At the Pres-
byterian mission a charming young
Chinese girl named Ah Cheng a profes-
sional interpreter satisfies etiquette
by being present during all the inter-
views. Many Chinese merchants have
offered to lay their bands and hearts at
Ah Cheng’s feet but she has seen so
much of love-making as an onlooker
that she refuses to go through the
ordeal of entertaining a fiance on her
own account. Even the touching ro-
mance of Ah Leen has not inclined the
little interpreter to follow her example.
The Co*tlle«t Bug on Record.
Secretary Morton was showing a re-
porter through the entomological bu-
reau the other day and this is part of
what the reporter says he said: “I've got
a bug in there that cost the government
$20000; he don’t look it. but he did.
It’s a fact. One day an outfit of scien-
tists started in pursuit of this bug.
They ranged all over the hemisphere
and stuck to his trail like bloodhounds;
they ransacked North America all the
way from the isthmus to Alaska. After
the most remarkable adventures by
flood and field they treed their bug
and took him prisoner. He was then
brought captive to Washington and
he's right there now in that brick
house the highest-priced bug on earth.
A round-up of the total expense of that
one bug hunt came to over $20000. But
we got the bug.’*

MONT BLANCS OBSERVATORY
All the Helicate Astronomical Instru-
ments Have Keen Carried Up.
The biggest permanent astronomical
observatory in the world—on the sum-
mit of Mount Blanc —was at last com-
pleted and fully equipped with instru-
ments a few days ago. There has
been a temporary station there for some
years but the instruments have been
small and of” little power compared
with those now in place.
The establishmentof this observatory
was a task which at the outset seemed
impossible and the obstacles which M.
Janssen who headed the quartette of
French astronomers had to overcome
were unparalleled. Mount Blanc is
nearly 16000 feet high and its ascent
even under the most favorable condi-
tions during the summer months is
difficult as well as dangerous. The
transportation of many heavy and deli-
cate scientific instruments to the top
of the loftiest mountain of the Alps
was therefore a labor so great as to
seem beyond the range of possibility
yet it was accomplished without the
loss of a single life. The telescope and
the other instruments had to be taken
to pieces before being carried up the
precipitous mountain sides; even then
some of the packages weighed 100
pounds and most of them about 50.
One of the guides who assisted in the
work holds the record of having made
the ascent more than 500 times since
the lieginning of his professional ca-
reer and it was he who found recently
the bodies of the Austrian professor
and his two guides who lost their lives
not long agq.
In place of being entirely movable
about a pivot like ordinary telescopes
the telescope on Mount Blanc is fixed
and directed toward the polar star. A
movable mirror placed near the lower
opening enables the observer to study
whatever he wishes its image being
thrown upon the glass. This makes
necessary a protective cupola of com-
paratively small dimensions.
The particular advantage to astrono-
mers in having un observatory at such
a high altitude as this one lies in the
transparency and purity of the atmos-
phere. The study of the stars however
will not be the sole task of the observers
for some of them will devote themselves
especiallyto meteorology us on the
summit of Mount Blanc says Prof.
Janssen they will be in the very orgin
of atmospheric phenomena. —N. Y.
World.
Inequality iu the World.
There is and there always has been
inequality in the world in spite of the
striving of generous hearts and en-
lightened minds for equality. Although
equality has never ceased to show it-
self and effect itself within the dif-
ferent orders and in modern times to
characterize at least superficially that
large composite order which we call
good society civilization is still em-
bruited and endangered by inequality.
One need not allege instances; they are
abundant in everyone’s experience and
observation; and those who dread or
affect to dread the dead level of equal-
ity are quite right in saying that even
in a political democracy there is as
much inequality as anywhere. But this
does not prove that they are right in
admiring it that it is not offensive and
stupid. Inequality still persists but so
does theft so does murder so does un-
chastity so do almost all the sins and
shames that ever were. Inequality is
in fact the sum of them; in the body of
this death they fester and corrupt for-
ever. As long as we have inequality we
shall have these sins and shames which
spring from it and which live on from
inferior to superior. Few vices live
from equal to equal; but the virtues
flourish.—W. D. Howells in Century.
No Chinese In Leadville.
There are no Chinese in Leadville.
The atmosphere is too rare for them
and in other days when a celestial
would stray into the camp something
or some one soon told him to stray out
again and he quickly obeyed the still
small voice. Some years ago a resi-
dent of the camp brought in a Chinese
cook. Within an hour the cook and
his employer were waited upon by a
committee of public-spirited citizens
full of information as to railroad time
tables and the hour for the departure
of the next train. The employer was
careless as to train time and so an-
nounced. “Very w’ell” replied the
committee. “We will leave the time
table with you and will be at the sta-
tion to see your friend off to speed the
parting guest so to speak. Hhe is not
there on time it will probably be neces-
sary to hang him and if you should
get tangled up in the rope you will
have no one to blame but yourself.’’
And then the committeemen went plac-
idly away to their respective gold and
silver propositions. At three p. m. the
Chinaman and the afternoon train de-
parted from the camp in each other’s
company. That was quite a good while
ago but never a Chinaman has since
been seen there.—Louisville Courier-
Journal.
