Amongst the wonders of the world the Great Wall of China is most attractivo, if, perhaps most difficult of access. Yet, to those who can find the time-and spare the cash-to make the journey, oce assuredly offers the suggestion that the trip bs made. It can be done, after the manner of the ordinary tourist, by a railway excursion to Shan-hai-kwan from Tisateis or Newchwing, or by a pony expedition from Pating to the foot of the Nan-co Path or Oven 10 far as Kalgan. Nowadays, too, the ronts suggested for the pony expedition can be covered by train in the commonplace way of au early start and a return by nightfall of the same day. There is still another way, and that is it the grand manner of the man who dine Yee Hong, a by no means "prominent mem- regards expense and has the time, inclination, ber of the Yee family, aloped with the Da Yick and opportunity to begin at one end of the slave giri, Bo Gue, several months ago.

But the desige of the trade-mark held by the com- book is written, in a style that is a mixture of plainant firm was quite a' novel and peculiar frank vulgarity, missionary righteousness, and one, so that to argue that respondent or any a blatant-joyousness that destroys all interas other firm could, accidentally bit, upon the in the author's narrative, same desigo and use it for the same class of manufacturé was bighly improbable. The trade-mark in question represented a bear placing its fore paws on the branch of an oak tree co which were two acorns. Such a design was most unusual, and it was the novelty and peculiarity of it that so much attracted the attention of the public, making the company's brand widely known throughout the world. The petitioners maintained that respondent's trade-mark was clearly an imitation of theirs, and although the latter, was not registered in Japan, it had been known and in" use much longer than the imitation. The trade-mark was Imitated for the purpose of deceiving the public as to the quality of the leather for which it was ured. The trade-mark held by respondent fell * under the category No. 3 of Article 11. of the Trade-mark Law. It was evident from exbi- bits put in that petitioners were using the same trade-maik on the same merchandise (leather), and also that the trade mark had been gene. rally known to Japan for more than twenty years. Therefore respondeot's trade-mark also came under the category No. 5 of Article 11. of the revised Trade-mark Law, being identi- cal with a mark held by another which was generally familiar to the public, and was used for the same article. The registration of the trade-mark in question should be made null and void.

was to enclose bis dominions within a barrier that would defy attack from the outer bar- barians. Years before Chin the wild tribes of the desert had been a terror to the more settled peoples of the Yellow River basin, They were the Bedouins of the East, fierce and untamable, and as such were the despair of the ruler. Thus the origin of the Wall. Following for a thousand miles the ancient line, the Wall stretches its serpentine and civilising length from the tempestcous main of the Yellow Sea to the thirsty sands of the distant desert, and on still further to the very verge of the moun talas of Tibet, where the suo starts the Yellow River on its uncertain and devious journey to the Easinin Ocean.*
Elsewhere another passage states :-At the beight of its usefulness, the Great Wall had on its line at least 25,000 towers and 15,000 watch Lowers. And even in the present state of decadence there probably remain 10,000 towers, each capable of accommodating 100 armed men; 10,600 watch towers linked up with 2,000 miles of wall, all capable of speedy fortification after.moderate repair.
11 is evident, then, that if the necessity arose. the Great Wall of China could be put to
