CITY OF NANKING.
Where the hines Emperor May
Take Refuge If Picking Is Menaced.

Where the Chinese Emperor May
Fake Refuge if Picking Is
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The Tribune says:
If, in their fear of invasion by the vic
torious armies of Japan, and the assault
and capture of Picking, the Chinese author
tiles remove, as they have lately declared
it their intention so to do, the seat Of gov
eminent from that city to Kiang-Ning,
popularity known as Marking, they will
merely repeat what has twice occurred in
the history of the F1owery Kingdom. The
change will restore the prosperity of the
city, around which are more romance, in
terest and historical associations than any
other In the empire.
The ancient capital is admirably situated
on the south bank of the Yang-Tse-Kiang,
about two hundred miles from the sea. The
river is very wide and comparatively deep
the entire distance, and will permit the
passage Of the larger ships. The land in
nearly every direction for leagues is an
alluvial plain, broken by streams, canals,
bitches. marshes and peat bogs. The entire
country has been formed from the earth
and silt brought down by the Yang-Tse-
Kiang. 1t is chiefly a fine soil, containing
scarcely any stones or powders. There are
clay beds here and there, which are utilized
for the manufacture of bricks, tiles and a
very poor, cheap e~arthenware. At various
places in the province are deposits of fine
white and gray clay. which is used TO make
the white ard colored porcelain for which
Marking is famous. Much of its fame is
undeserved, and results from European ig-
norance OF Chinese ceramics. Nearly all Of
the fine work which used TO be called Nan
king ware came from C~han-Chau-Foo and
other pottery centers. Much of it passed
from the factories TO the shops In the cap
ital, where II was purchased by both ma
tives and travellers. The place OF the sale
thus obtained the credit for goods which
nine times out of ten came from kilns in
otner provinces. In the days of it's opuIence
and pride the city was distinguished by a
great padoga called the Porcelain Tower"
seyerai temples and a few mansions made
and yellow porcelain tiles. The great size
lence OF the material gave this variety OF
tile its celebrity. as a matter OF fact it
was not as beautiful as the so-calied en-
ameled bricks OF our own country and the
mosaic and ether tiles Of England.
On account of its alluvial formation the
country IS fiat. ugly and monotonous. The
streams and bodies of water are almost as
yellow as those of lower Egypt. The water
is so bad that IL cannot be drunk safely
until after II has been boiled and filtered.
and even then il Is but half clear. Never
tneless. this very condition is the basis OF
the prosperity. OF the city and the province.
of which the latter Is a marvel Of fertility.
Even without fertilization IL produces two
good harvests annually. Thrifty joan
