WETZLER, Germany. ()—Itis-
tory is all wrong when it credits
Galileo Galilei with having invented
the pendulum, according to Dr.
Veltmann, keeper of the publie
archives of this city.. In his opinion
it was Jobst Bodeker of Warburg.
Westphalia, who constructed the
first centrifugal pendulum.
The instrument invented by Bo-
deker was made in 1578. while Gali-
let’s pendulum is recorded as having
.been constructed in 1633. Bodecker’s
clock with pendulum was but chert-
lived. however. After being installed
in the cathedral at Osnabrueck it
had to be nursed along from time
to time by the inventor, and after
his death It coon came to a full
stop
Dr. Veltmann bases his contention
upon documents he has found In
the archives under his care.
Stole 1000 Purses.
MANCHESTER.- After confessing
to the theft of more than 1000
purses in a period of three months,
Peggy Weaver, 19, was given aa in-
determinate sentence la prison by
the Manchester stipendiary. The
girl told police that ahe "worked"
only the exclusive shops, where the
moot expensive purses were to be
found.

“Shanghai," means “Near the
This is just what Shanghai is. It.
is on the Whaagyu river bank,
three or four Koura a foaming above
the small Chinese town of Woosung.
It la at Woosung that the waters
of the Whangpu and the mightier
Yangtse mix and empty, together
into the Yellow Sea. Woosung is
situated on the flatiron of land at
the point where the two rivers
meet.
- Originally Shanghalwas a place
of little importance.
The Chinese word “fu" means,
. among other things, a “seat of gov-
ernment” of some sort. So this
word “fu” is to be found added to
the names of most Chinese cities
of much consequence—for instance,
Chi-fu.
Shanghai, as they say, was "not
even a fu city" at first. That is, U
was “not sven a county seat.” Then,
it became a "treaty port." The Chi-
nese "treaty ports" are those places
at which foreigners are permitted
to trade and settle. -
Each Has Own Courts
Each important nationality was
given a “concession" fronting on
the Whangpu, about‘hait a mile
wide and extending inland some
1 three miles. They were alongside
and adjoining, and just above them,
up the Whangpu, was the walled
native city.
The respective nationalities ad-
ministered their various Sconces:
sions” to suit themselves. They en-
joyed extraterritoriality. The
American concession, for instance,
was considered American soil.
Such a condition naturally is hu-
miliating to the Chinese. They
never have liked it. Nevertheless It
was the making of Shanghai com-
mercially. It grew rapidly 1 and
prospered until today. Its popula-
tion, native and foreign, exceeds,
1,500,000. ,

the 1850‘s and early 60‘s Shanghai’s

to “go it alone."
To this day the consolidated “con-
cessions” remain the "International
settlement.” Their frontage on the

land. - - :
Th "settlement" is run by a coun-
cil of the foreign consuls. Each na-
tionality, however, has a large
measure of autonomy. An Ameri-
oan, for Instance, accused of any
offense is tried in his own court—
a regularly constituted United
States court, with its jail attached.
— - Population 20,000,
Besides the foreigners, a good
many Chinese live Inside the settle-
ment limits, but they are subject
to the settlement's regulations and
to trial if they violate them, in
what are known as the "mixed
courts.” .
In times of disturbance, like the
present, there always, is an influx
of Chinese refugees into the settle-
ment, where they are as safe as
they -would be on forign soil any-
where in the world. 0 '
The foreign city's population is
around 20,000, of every nationality
on earth.
Ths Chinese city, however. Is
quite distinct and surrounded by a
now much dilipidated wall.
Cruisers Always There
Sandwiched between the interna-
tionalsettlement and the Chinese
city is the French concession still
run independently.
