Methodist Mission, at the rear of the Hotel du Nord, will accommodate 1,500 people. In this Mission there are hospitals for both women and men, a Girls' High School in which there are 200 pupils, and about the same number of students in the Peking Uni- versity. These buildings are all lit with acetylene, and heated by steam or hot air, while the houses are furnished with water from an artesian well in the com- pound. In connection with the London Mission, near the Von Ketteler Monument, is the Lockhart Medical College, established for medical study in North China, an institution for the erection of which the Empress Dowager contributed Tls. 10,000, A little north of this is the American Board Mission in connection with which there is a large Girls school and a very fine church with a seating capacity of about 1,000. The Presbyterian Mission is near the Llama and Confucian Temples in the north of the city, has hospitals for both men and women, and is furnished with water by a windmill from an artesian well. The South and East churches of the Roman Catholic Mission have not been rebuilt, but the North Cathedral has been greatly improved. The Mission for the Blind is on Kan Yü Iu-t'ung not far from the London Mission, while the S.P.G. Mission is in the West city.
The question of high houses in Peking is for ever settled by the erection of a two- storied residence by Prince Su, and three large blocks of similar buildings for the Col- lege of Languages by the Government. The private telegraph line from Peking via Tientsin to Taku which was provided by Mr. Poulsen, the owner, before Peking was relieved, viz. from Tientsin to Taku and which was immediately extended to Peking on the relief of the Legations, was handed over to the Imperial Chinese Telegraph Administration on Oct. 1st, 1905. The line was used by the Generals and Ministers in Peking 1900-1 for transmission to Taku of their dispatches to be forwarded thence by cable to all parts of the world, the Chinese line having been destroyed. On the Chinese rebuilding their line Mr. Poulsen converted his line into an inter-town telephone line, the first in China, and introduced the telephone system into Tientsin and Peking. When the Chinese Government starting their system Mr. Poulsen sold his line to them.
