In this land of topsy-turvydom nothing should occasion surprise, yet the announcement that the Bank of China is about to pay 19 per cent, on Inat year's profits and grant $30,000 as honus to its staff has staggered Peking, especially the poor unfortunates who have been trying to make ends meet on dollars which are a little more than half their value, Letters have been written denouncing the officials, and the question, is naked, "How can this be? The mystery is explained by the fact that only in Peking bave the Bank of China notes been below par and that the officials and staff in Peking are only sharing in a good year's business with the Bank of China officials and staffs all over the country.
