In coming south from Tsism-fu, after a few days, we crossed the Grand Canal at a place knows in maps as Chang etwang-cha. Here wu were approaching the old bed of the Tullow Hisor out the lako region & Inke in frant of ng to the south led to our making a detour west ward and brought us unexpootedly to a ferry at the point juat mention. The stream lachers about Bfeet wide. The lock or cho (Cantaneas chap, old Chineas dap) whist given its name to the ferry, was in sight, and consisted of two abutments of stone of great strength. The water way between them was wide enough to allow the passage of the largest jouka. To Joel is now never aloned, and for the whole dis- bazice above to Taining, a little beyond which the south flow commences, the rooka are now always kept open, except at Hanch water.

Having how eser the old-fashioned single lock with more- ably boarde laid horizontally, to hold in the water, they ought to have kept in use this plask barrier such sa it is. This they have not done, and the only obesk to the townward dow of the water is in the stone abutments.on the video.
The consequence of foods, of neglect, and the destruction of the canal banke below Tal- ng, is that the year's fleet of grain junke, 500 in number, has been detained since April wait ing for water at a place twelve miles south of Tsining; froin that point to Taining the canal

and they must be high. The Imperial grain Canal, through, a large part of its course froma' Tientais, is predominantly on higher land than the lake country to the west of it. But in
