Peking, Dec. 23. (Correspondence
of The Associated Press). At the svs
gestlon of foreign advisors to the gov
ernment, the forcible amputation of
queues has been abandoned. The Min
ister of the Interior had iBsued inser
tions to the police of Peking to cut
off forcibly the queues of rickshaw
coolies. Tho police were armed with
scissors and proceeded to fulfill in
structions. The rickshaw coolies
banded together and In wvernl In
st ance r..-U'd and Injured one it
two policemen.
Two of the foreign advisors to Pres
ident Yuan Shl-kal pointed out to
prominent Chinese officials of modern
education that this action was unwar
ranted on the part of the ministry and
was distinctly contrary to tho Meas
held In foreign countries of the rights
of a citizen of a republic. The Cblutsa
officials- argued that the queue was a
badge of servitude. The advisors re
plied that it may have been such to
men who had read history and under
stood that the Manchu had Introduced
the style, but that to the coollo the
queue was a recognizee custom of hair
dressing and nothing more. The short
hair was a foreign, stranqe fashion
which he had been taught, up to a few
years ago, to despise.

An Old Ash Wednesday Custom.
At one time It was on AsU Wednes
day the custom to appoint nn official
of the English palaces to crow the
hours of the day, like a cock, aa a re
minder of the denial of St. Peter. This
practice excited tbe furious Indigna
tion of George II. His Ignorance of
E igllsh made it very difficult for the
courtiers to explain that the royal
cock crower was not making fun of
hlui. The cock crower was a salaried
officer at tbe English court aa late at
1823.

Into tbe top buoy It canses a bell to

station, warning the observer on duty
that a vessel Is passing over a mine
The observer thereupon closes tie fir

Ediaon and the Be.
It Is recorded that Thomas A. Edison,
after watching the tremendous energy
of a busy ami noisy little bee. re
marked: "A real plane, a heavier than air
machine of great weight, can be built
as soon aa we obtain something that
beats the air at the rate of 200 timet
a second. That bee weighed 7,000
times more than his wings. It we
can only get to that, get to that tlt
greatest thing tor the smallest wing
that Is the thing. Tbe beo's wings
bent the air 300 times a second."
