The YELLOW RIVER OF CuINA.-The
Yellow river of China has disagreeabIe
way of occasionally changing its course.
leaving its old bed entirely dry and cutting
a new one through fields and towns with
out the slightest regard to vested rights
No less than nine such changes are record
ed in Chinese history, the first dating
about G92 B. c., and the last having com
menced in 1851 and been completed in
1853. A party of English explorers went
to view the scene of this disaster in Sep
tember last. After journey of nearly
400 miles on the Grand Canal. they ar.
rived on the 18th Of October on the banks
of the new Yellow river, near the town of
Nanshan. At this point the stream had
not worn for itself bed but was spread
over belt of country some % or II miles
IN width. The banks of the Grand Ca
nat had here been crarried away by the in
vading current, and the whole country
wore an air of desolation The party en-
barked on the new river near here, and
traced it down TO embouchure in the Gulf
of Pc chi la. Nineteen miles downward
the widespread waters converge and flow
into the narrower bed of a much smaller
river, the Tatsing, which henceforward
serves as its channel. The great volume
and rapidity of the waters of the Yellow
river are causing the narrow bed to widen.
and with the undermined banks are swept
away the streets ofvillages and cities, gar
dens and fields. Bridges which formerly
spanned the Tatsing now remain as ruins
in mld-river. At Isl no helm one of the
bridges etfeetually stops navigation at pre-
sent. Toward the sea the banks of the
river are marshY and uninhabitable, the
limit of the peopled region being the small
port of Tu- men guam. 1t is hoped that
English engineering skill may be able to
put stop to these changes in the future.
