GUN-MAKING IN CHINA.
Every Form of Munit;on of war, from
Rifles TO Heavy Artillery,
Made by Natives.

A correspondent of the Lahore Civil
and Military Gazette visited one of the
Chinese arsenais and thus put down his
Impressions: FINALLY we were taken.
among other places, TO the great Chi
rese arsenal some way beyond treaty
limits, where every form of munition OF
war, from rifles to 45-ton guns. was be-
ing made. We wandered throueh a
wilderness OF factories, covering acres
of ground, and were shown the whole
process of manufacture. And there
were powder factories and other insti-
tutions not far away which we had no
time to visit. That was, perhaps, the
most significant experience Of oil. YOU
may have seen gun factories before, but
have you seen a place turning out
great guns by the dozen, anG machine
guns. by the hundred, perfect in design
and construction. run, from ccolio to
had mandarin. entirely by Chinese, anG
with only q couple of En2lishnen en-
gagged solely in consultative supervision?
Have you seen q roomful Of Chinese
draughtsmen and designers in pigtails
and blue Gowns soiemnly, stolidly and
a~ssiduously getting out the drawings for
a new gun? 1t is a sight that furnishes
food for. thought. And as you leave
you ask yourself the question: IF these
men can make guns, why may they net
work them some day!'"

when they came out of the church was
surprised to see the animal standing.

pulled up and lying on the ground.
1t was astonishing TO find the horse so
meek, with its head down, for it had
always been inclined to run for home
when loose.
That horse deserved o double dose
of oats for being so wise as to under
stand the situation so well; for had
he gone home, it would have been a
long walk homo for tho family and
somebody would have been minus q
