While in an official sense the government of China has made good progress toward a peaceable and honourable adjustment of all differences with Japan, the character of the demonstration in Cinton seems to suggest a feeling of deep-rooted resentment on the parl of the Chinese people because of the Peking government's concessians to Japao.

It is spelled in two ways in the guida book referred 10, and Legge, Williams and some other writer on Cosfucius have their own original transliterations for the name of his birthplace. Political reform in China should be accompanied by reform in the Occi- dental spellings of Chinese place names.

Near the top of a gentle eminance is à terrace to which a stope stairway gives access. The terrace is cover ed with flagging stones, not in the best of repair, for the surface is uneven, and at the further side of the fegging opposite the stair- way rises a 10mbstone of ordinary height, embedded in mortar between cross pieces of stone. The flat surface is covered with the in- scription, and in front of it are a stone prayer stool and a handsome vessel in' which focense is constaplly burslag.
