For the past three weeks we
have neglected remnants in TINS

the noted bridges of Italy. There is one
at the south gate which is walled, with
stores like the Ponte Vecchio across the
Arno at Florence, or rather more like the
Rialto IN Venice. Some Of the canals run
into the city, and the moat and canals in
many ways remind you of the famed water
city on the Adriatic It is to me a far
more interesting city than Venice. and the
wonders of its ruins are greater than those
OF old Rome.
The Marking of to-day is built upon the
foundation OF the Marking of the past, and
outside of the present city there is a vast
area Which was once covered with build
lngs. The Tartar city where Emperors
lived has dwindled into dust, and the mar
Bile and golden-tiled palaces of the past
have been suppIanted by the farms and
gardens of the present. Fifteen genera
lions ago there was here one of the most
progressive monarchs OF history. Marking
was then the center of Asiatic trade and
culture. Foreigners from all parts came
here TO study, and the Persians and Ara
bians crowded each other upon tue streets.
Today you see Jewish types among the
faces you meet and the city has large
population of Mohammedans. Many Of
these are the descendants of the strangers
who came here in the days of the famed
Chinese ruler, Chu Hung Wo. This man
started life as beggar. but he organized a
rebellion which enabled him to conquer
China and to establish his descendants on
the throne. He was the founder of the
Ming dynasty, tho one which ruled China
before the family of the present Emperor
came into power and under which were
accomplished the greatest things that the
Chinese have ever done 10 architecture and
public Improvements. 1t was this man
who built the wall about Marking and es-
tablished the capital here. The dragon,
you know, is the imperial animal of China.
You see it on every Chinese flag, and it is
supposed to bring luck or the reverse to
every ruler. According to them a dragon
can do anything. 1t can make itself as big
as an elephant or as small as a gnaf. 1t
kings, and when there was an eclipse of
the moon here about a month ago | saw it

as many people as there are in
the whole United States. He has under
him cities of vast extent, the names of
which are unknown to the average Ameri-
can, and his income amounts to millions.
He spends vast sums in his arsenals. pow
der works and naval schools, and he d.
reefs from this point a machinery of gov
eminent which, though by no means so
pure. has as many qualifications and Offices
as that of our capital at Washington. He
has here the big examinations which test
the learning of tens of thousands of Chi
nese students every three years, and his
people are so noted for their ability and
Gu lure that Marking has been called the
Athens of China.
How shall / describe It?
The Chinese cities are so diffe rent from
anything in America that l almost despair
OF giving good idea of them. In the first
place, Marking is a walled city. All OF the
big cities of China are surrounded by walls
ranging in size from forty to seventy feet
high and so thick that two two-horse
wagons could be driven side by side upon
the paved roads which form their tops and
the wheels Of the wagons would not touch
each other. Here and there upon the walls
are guardhouses and barracks which rise
one and two stories above the walls and in
which soldiers are placed 10 keep a look
out over the city and its approaches
The walls are entered by great tunnel
like gates with arched roofs, and the doors
TO these are OF heavy plsnks aud timbers
bound with sheets of iron riveted on with
bolts. These are closed during the night
and the man who arrives after dark has to
wait till morning among the beggar huts
of the outside. The walls rise straight up-
ward from a wide moat TO the height of an
elght-story house, and the only broken
spaces are the cuts formed by their
crenelated tops. Had one of the soldiers
on guard thrown me down rope ladder
when | came to the base of the wall [
would have feared to risk the climb. and
as / examined it wondered at the ex-
pense of its building. We often hear of
the vast sums spent upon the great Chi
nese wall. 1t was about 1900 miles long,
and it is larger than that about Marking.

hold the rod steady, but an immensely rich
deposit of the precious metals in the earth
beneath his feet was pulling down upon
the magic wand with power Of attraction
not to be resisted. Old AIS eyes would
blaze green and blue, the muscles of his
face would be convulsed and his whole
body would writhe, but down would go
the point of the rod in spite of all lie cou Id
do. Then the old man would wipe from
his face beads of PRESENTATION as big as
buckshOt and announce "a bonanza"
When looking for silver. ETC.. Peck would
hold silver coin in his left hand against
the handle OF the rod, for gold a gold coin,
and often silver in one hand and gold in
the other. In fact he held in his hand
against one of the pTongS of the rod bit
Of whatever metal he was In search Of.
Peck was well known in all the mining
regions of the Pacific Coast. | think he
had a good deal of superstitious faith in
the rod. yet undoubtedly helped it along In
such way as to suit his purposes-he ''as-
sisted nature" as the doctors saw
The latest man in the field in this region
who sets up for discoverer of the secret
boards OF nature in the way of the preci GUS
metals is Scoichman named Norrie. Mr.
Norrie claims that his ore indicator is con-
sructed on strictly scieD tific principles
and is the result of hundreds of expert
ments and years of study. In attempting
to give an idea of the apparatus used by
NoTrle 1t will first be necessary to mention
some OF his notions in regard to quartz
veins and the mineral deposits they carry.
1t is a well-known fact that nothing in
nature Is ever IN a state of perfect rest
All things are either in process of growth
or process of decay. In the animal and
vegetable Kingdoms this is apparent to
even the lost ordinary observer Though
the fact is not so evident in the mineral
kingdom. owing to the great periods OF
