On this day
In 1852 the first Chinese contract workers arrived in Hawaii from southeast China to work on sugar plantations, aboard the British bark Thetis captained by John Cass. Earlier contact with China for trade led to the islands being dubbed Tan Heung Shan (Fragrant Sandalwood Hills); in 1924 the archaeologist Howard Carter viewed the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun for the first time, two years after the discovery of the tomb in the Valley of the Kings, near Luxor, Egypt; in 1957 the “world’s first electric watch” to be sold to the public — the Hamilton Electric 500 — was announced in the US after ten years of development. About 350,000 models were made, with production ending in 1969 as the quartz revolution took over; in 1993 the second Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, to halve the number of nuclear warheads, was signed by the US and Russia; in 2022 Apple, the maker of the iPhone, became the first company to have a stock market value of $3 trillion. The technology group was also the first to reach the $1 trillion and $2 trillion market cap milestones (August 2, 2018, and August 19, 2020).
Nature notes
A chilly day, and there is little wildlife in Leeds city centre. Just then, a cackle rings out and a magpie bounces over the square. It’s searching for scraps left over from the Christmas market. With their habit of visibly raiding other birds’ nests and their rattlesnake call, magpies have a poor reputation in this country. But in Asia they are venerated. In the celestial Chinese folktale of the weaver girl and the cowherd, the two lovers are exiled from home and separated by a vast river. The river is the Milky Way. Once a year, a huge flock of magpies flies up into the night sky and forms a bridge over the stars, allowing the lovers to briefly reunite. Jonathan Tulloch
