THE EVILS OF GEOMANOY.
STRANGE CHINESE SUPERSTITIONS.
There is one occupation, say a reking Ma, darin paper, which we in China have within our borders which, search where you will, you will not find in any other part of the world,
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1902.
Geomancy often makes discord between brothers, with its prophecies of good forturie for the one, and the reverse for the other. Religions lawsuits are frequently stirred up by disputes over grave sites. But these are strall matters in comparison with other evils. For instance, geomancy blocks reforms beneficial

the foreigners hear of it, and want to do these things for us.. lience all the benefits of these enterprises all go to the foreigners instead of being reaped by purselves. Then the people that talk of the benefits of geomancy are struck dumb.
is? It is the trade of the professional Geo-telegraphs and waterworks. The result is that mancer or "wind and water" professor. Throughout on twenty-two provinces, we can not build a single roomed house or open a door, or set up a range without engaging the profes. sor's services to select'a location, and choose a lucky day, and none of us dare utter a single word in criticism of his decisions. But that is not all. The mist ridiculous thing is to come. They claim that the location of a grave will infallibly affect the fortunes of the survivors for weal or woe, all of which has been proved over and over again by experience.
BOSTI!
Now in my opinion such talk is all bosh For behold a corpse stark and stiff in its coffin The breath is stopped; the blood is dried up: the souls, material and immiaterial, nee dis sipated. He is only a senseless bag of skin. like a store or piece of wood. Hence although our canonical books describe the ceremonies of sacrifice with great minuteness, there is not a single word about going to the graves to sacrifice, and why? Because the ancients well knew that the spirits of their ancestors were not in the graves, and hence it is preposterous; to think that they for their graves) can affect affairs among inen, either one way or the other. Which of the ancestors of the whole human race does not wish his descendants to be wealthy? In life, they are all desirous of doing the best possible for their children, and yet they cannot get their wish. You don't mean to say that their dry bones after death can obtain for their sons what they could not when living?!
SOME WESTERN COMPARISONS.
In Westem Mohamedan lands, the corpses of the dead are cast forth into the wilderness until they are devoured by the beasts of the field. In Siam and India bodies are burped instead of being buried. And yet though they have no graves at all, the people are divided into high and low, rich and poor dying in old age and dying in early yeats, just as we are in China with all our Geomancy. How do you account for that ?
In the isles of the South Pacific and Among the aborigines-of-Australia, the dead are fung into the water so that the bellies of fish and totises are their graves. And yet their children have various luck just like our own. 1 suppose nur "pro- fessor would say that the bellies of fish and tortoises are divided into lucky and unlucky i
But dismissing the case of the uncivilized, look at the customs of Europe and America, where all are buried in one public cemetery. Suppose it is a lucky site, how is it that their descendants are not all prosperous. Or if you say it is unkecky, why then all the descendants of those buried there should in-, fallibly go to ruin!
A PURE INVENTION. But we need not speak of foreign countries, our own land in ancient times exposed its dead until later oges learned how 10 bury them under, the ground, and raise a mound over them. But any place and any date were 18 garded as equally suitable. Thus when the son of Viscount Chi of the Kingdom of Wu die on the way to the Kingdom of Chi, and was buried where he died, and not taken back this ancestral home, as is now the custom How cams it that this illustrious man followed what is now the foreign custom? The truth of the matter is that this "wind and water" auper etition is a pure invention, and hence I have no scruples in exposing it.
The burial Classic was written by Kuo Pu of the Chin dynasty. His knowledge of geomancy was reputed as very high. His parents' graves must have been made by him in the very Juckiest possible spot. How then did it hap pen that he himself was slain by. Wang Kuo, and he did not leave a single descendant?

THE WAR INDEMNITY, The contributions assigned to the different provinces, by the Government towards the defrayment of the indemnity consequent upon the late war, are too large and it is impossible for us to find sufficient money to meet them, At present, the people in general are pitiably poor and distressed and the commerce of the country is in a sad and decayed condition, Almost all our merchants and tradesmen have been fuiued by the late war. All available means and ways for wising funds in the different provinces for the benefit of the Government have been put in full force in late years and the weakh of the people hasFROM the 1st January, 1902, we will issue been drained to the extreme point and it is impossible for them to endure any more demands. If new methods are to be devised to scrape from the people the little wealth that is still left, the money thereby derived will not be sufficient to meet the new indemnity: Moreover, the revenue produced by the likin on salt and on general merchandise in the five maritime provinces has been already appro printed for repaying old debts, consequently in recent years, these provinces have not been able to find means to meet the ordinary con- tributions to the Imperial Exchequer in Feking, Owing to
