PEACEFUL AND PROSPER OUS COUNTRYSIDE

(From Our Own Correspondant)

SHANGHAL, July 29. Central and North China have been recently experiencing a apeli of excessive heat. The tempera tute in Shanghai was averaging for a few days about 971, while Wuhu was smeltering in & temperature by 110 degrees.

Travelling on an Express train from Shanghai to Nanking or from Pukow to Peiping in the heat of a summer day may not be entirely enjoyable but there are many things of intense interest to be seen by the tourist which well te pay for the discomfort.

The Shanghai-Nanking Express is a very fine train, with splendid accommodation in either Arst or second clasi. The distance from Shanghai to Nanking, 195 miles, is covered in about seven hours.

The fret witness called was Dr. G. H. Thomas of the Government Civil Hospital who, after describ- ing the injuries sustained by the girl, stated that death was due to shock and haemorrhage resulting from ever injuries.

In answer to Mr. Schofield, wit- ness said that the injurica were consistent with deceased having been crushed between a bus and a hard surface."
