A HONAN SUMMER RESORT,

Delights of Mountals Divide. The Chikungshan correspond ent of the N. G. Daily News writing on July 31, eays:-It is long trail from Paking to Can ton, and about a far from Stanfo to Shanghai, yet from these four ends of Chins people have congre gated in this popular mountain resort this season, as well as from all the intervening provinces. This sanitoriam is situated in the border monatsins of south Hons. Its acosability is one of its many desirable features, for it is les than an hour's ́chair ride to the top of the moontsin, from the railway station of Siaties, on the Peking Hankow line.

reduced rates the expense of travelling to Chikung is compar atively little.

Round trip tickets, from Han- kow, sacond class, good for eight months in the summer, are only $8 30. A obair with four bearers up the hill costs less than $1 the trip, and living on the mountain in proportionately cheap. There is a good mail service, managed by the Honan Postal authorities,! ith three collections and two deliveries daily. There are wo trainadaily from the south and two from the north, running betweŁA Paking and Hankow.

The climate is much drier than that of the mountain resorte deally, probably due to the fant that the dry Honso plateau begine at this point, stretching north for hundreds of miles. The climste this month has been normal, sol though there waa rain on nine different daye, mostly ebowery weather, there was only one day when blue sky was not in evid

ce. The maximum temperature in the ahade on the hottest day this mouth was 82 degrees, the minin 62 degrees, while the mesu temperatnie w 73 degrees. The surets have been magnific eat, better than I remember eeeing elsewhere in Chine; and this, together with the scenery and the coolness, have so far made su ideal summer.
