such pleasures often require an in
terrogation mark after them. Not
only would good roads be paying
investment if to be used by Vermont
ers alone, but they would in a few
years attract enough summer travel
to many times pay for themselves.
Not only should the road bed be i'm
proved but the general surroundings
should be considered. Roads should
be built through beautiful sections OF
the state. Heavy grades should be
avoided. The fences should be kept
in repair and the law against adver-
Using on fences and trees along the
highways should be enforced. What
must be the feelings of a summer
visitor who for ten or eleven months
in a year is worrying over business
and advertising, and who comes to
the country to forget all these things,
to have meet his eye at every turn
the statement that he should use
somebody's sarsaparilla or try some
body's lineament or buy his shoes at
somebody's store. If we Vermont
ers for our own pleasure have not
interest enough to enforce the law
against promiscuous advertising we,
at least, should do so to attract
summer visitors. 1t may not be
generally understood that there is a
fine OF ten dollars for advertising
along the highways and that half of
it goes to the complainant.
There can be no doubt that if the
attractions of the state are judicious-
ly developed and if comfortable &C.
commodations are provided, increas-
ing thousands of visitors from our
great eastern cities will come to YER
mont annually who will leave hum
dreds of thousands of dollars.

creeks have been made to connect with it
along its route.
The modes of irrigation are ancient
and crude. One of the most picturesque
is by means Of the water-wheel, which is
used where the land to be watered is
we'll above the channel of the river. The
wheel is turned by the force of the cur
rent, and is perhaps 80 feet high, it's
buckets being sections of bamboo, which
as they are raised by the stately motion
OF the wheel, empty their contents into
troughs or bitches. Hollow bamboo
pipes or tubes are sometimes used for
distributing water over the fields. They
rest upon wooden supports and branch
in every direction from the source of sup
ply. The chain pump is also a common
means of lifting water, the chain rum
ming up from the water on a slant and
being provided with little buckets at
intervals, which as they reach the high
est point and begin to descend, discharge
their contents. These machines are
worked by bufaloes, or sometimes by
human labor, a man working crank
with his feet something after the manner
OF riding a bicycle. The most primitive
and laborous method is the ancient we'll
sweep, such as is seen today on many an
old New England homestead Wash

together in carved-out chambers, some
of which extend back more than 200
feet. The capabilities of defense in a
country such as this, where an invading
army must necessarily become lost and
absolutely bewildered in the tangle of
interlacing ways, and where the defend
ers may always remain concealed, or
have innumerable means of escape, is
peculiarly significant at this time, when
consideration is being given to a con-
quest OF China. 1t may not be generally
known that the Chinese were the dis
coverers of coal as fuel. The Venetian
traveller Marco Polo says: at is fact
that all over the country of Cathay
| China there is a kind Of black stone
existing in the beds of the mount aims
which they dig out and burn like fire.
wood. This burus better and costs less. P"
The rivers of China are her glory, and
there are few countries in the world so
we'll watered and no other with such
natural water transportation facilities.
The three great rivers of the empire are
the Yang-tse- Kiang (Child of the OCEAN,,
the Hoang Ho yellow river), and the
Chu Kiang (Pearlriver or Canton river.
Of these the Yang-tse is much the largest,
| flowing through extensive and fertile
plains and finally emptying into the
Eastern sea, after travelling a distance
of over 1000 miles. It's discharge is
estimated at 100000 cubic feet per
second. The banks of the Yang-tse are
crowded with towns and villages, the
most famous of which are Nankin and
the treaty port of Hankow. The Hoang
Ho or Yellow river is noted especially
for its frequent and violent floods. Its
current is very rapid and its course
slnuous, nearly approaching in length
the Yang-tse. The Pearl of Canton
river, while not nearly so large as the
Others, is stream OF great Importance,
and innumerable vessels trade upon its
waters. At some points it spreads into
large lakes; in others it passes between
narrow gorges, which if damned would
afford large storage capacity for irriga-
ton. The Chinese. however, have not
practically worked out irrigation in its
different phases as completely as would
be expected of such an agricultural peo-
pie.
Irrigation, nevertheless, is practiced to
considerable extent through the use of
the waters of the Grard canal and by
wells. The Grand or Imperial canal is a
work of great magnitude. 1t was con.
structed in the seventh century and en-
larged in the 18th century. 1t traverses
the Great Plain and flows with but
slight current for distance of 700 miles.
While built for purposes of communica-
ton, its waters are used largely for
irrigation, and thousands of drains and

Notable Facts About China.

Although the vast mobs which invest
Pekin and the larger cities of China,
worked up to a state of frenzy and
fanaticism, have rendered impossible any
satisfactory action by the available
forces of the powers, the great Chinese
population proper is agricultural, and
naturally extremely peaceful and peace
loving, Agriculture, however, is most
primitive, and the wonder is how such
an immense population can be supported
from the soil, until the great economy
practiced in all things is understood.
On the Great Plain of China every avail
able foot of land is utilized for growing
something, and every particle OF fertility
returned to the soil. Waters are used
for irrigation, and in many cases labor
iously distributed over the fields. The
Great Plain itself is one of the most Won
derful sections of the globe. 1t is about
700 miles in length, and varies from 200
to 400 miles in width, occupying the
northeastern part of the empire, and
containing over 100000 square miles OF
wonderfully fertile soil. The most in
teresting feature Of this plain is its
enormous population, as it supports,
according to the census of 1912, not
less than 177,0O0,000 human beings,
making it the most densely settled OF
any part OF the world of the same size,
its inhabitants amounting to nearly
two-thirds of the entire population of
Europe.
The most wonderful feature in the
physical geography of China is the ex-
istence of vast region of oess in this
portion of the empire. Loess is a very
solid, but tria BILE earth, brownish yellow
in color, and is found in many places
from 500 to 1000 feet deep. The loess
hills rise in terraces from 20 to several
hundred feet in hight. Every atom OF
loess is perforated by small tubes, after
the manner of root 6bers, only the direc-
ton of these little channels is always
from above downward, so that cleavage
in the loess mass is invariably vertical.
The loess region of China is perhaps the
most broken country in the world, with
its sheer cliffs and upright walls, terraces
and deep cut ravines. Owing to the
ease with which it can be worked, caves
made at the bases of straight cliffs af-
ford homes to millions of people in the
densely populated northern provinces,
where the boxers have thus far been
most active. Whole villages cluster

One weakness of ours as nation,
l can never get reconciled to, that
in all foreign ports. on every sea, our
flag should be conspicuous by its
absence" Now and then we see it
floating over the pleasure yacht of
some oil or ice trust magnate or
over some man-of-war or troop-ship,
Manila bound, but the business
transactions of the commercial world
are done under other flags. We feed
the hungry of all nations with the
surplus of our farms, clothe the
world with our cotton and wool,
send the products of our factories to
every part of the planet, and we ask
England and Germany and France to
come with their ships and deliver to
our foreign customers the goods they
buy over our counters. At home we
know that we can carry freight
cheaper on our railways than can be
done abroad, and can earn dividends
on a tariff which would beggar
English companies, but the moment
our railways reach the sea we sur
render the carrying trade to other
flags and provide the business which
has brought millions into the pockets
of foreign ship owners. 1t is now
certain that our enormous export
business is to be greatly increased by
coal shipments as foreigners are find
ing out that we can warm them
and make their steam cheaper than
Cardiff and New Castle. l hope Mr..
Mckinley will be his own successor
for feel sure that the republican
party, whose first work forty years
ago was to save the flag, will now
provide such legislation as will re-
store it's old prestige on the sea, ac-
companying our commerce to every
quarter of the globe. With this Sc
cured and the Isthmus pierced by a
ship canal, and better paid, and a
better educated consular service, we
can certainly secure our full share oil
