THE IMPROVEMENT OF CHINAS. HIGH WAYS.

Everyone knows that the old highways of Chian, both on land and by water, are noter. aus, Important, and neglected. In the rivers there are often rapids, like those in the Upper Yangise, altogether"beyond Chinese skill to remedy. In many other cases Oriental apathy contents itself with the aphorism that "water should be allowed to take its course," and seldom interferes. In the Yellow River, bow ever, there is a periodical pretence of protection for the people, not because this stream is highway, but because its inundations threaten the land tax from scores of counties. If its vagasies were radically cured by scientific cagineering, hundreds of Chinese officials would annually be the poorer by scores of thousands of taels, The Grand Canal is by far the most important of China's artificial 'water- ways, extending from Hangchow, the southern capital of Kublia Khan, to Cambalu, his northern one or rather city in Western Shantung, where entrance is made in a small | but important river debouching into the " Sea River" at Tientsin. The excavation of this channel, while a most audacions undertaking for those "middle ages" when nothing of the kind existed in Europe, was a comparatively

Advan- itage was taken of naturally lacustrine districts, the resultant commercial benefit to several pro- vinces being immediate and permanent. In- creasing use of steam navigation long ago | abolished the usefulness of this great line for. its original purposes, but it was only three years ago that the last traces of this strange amalgans of rice transport combined with un limitel licensed smuggling, was definitely suspended.

There are natural difficulties to be overcome from vagaries of the Yellow River, the gradual sitting up of the Canal, and the occasional transit of moun. tain streams across its course, with which Chinese engineering does not know how to deal.
