QUEER SURVEYING IN CHINA
Quick Measuring and Computing of
Land Areas Done in Sin
gu1ar Fashion.

Chinese land owners carefully mark
their fields so that the boundaries of
the latter may be identified, but they do
It in accordance with strange system.
The granite posts erected for that pur-
pose are placed, not at the corners, but
nearly in the center of the fields. JUS
tin Burns talks about this queer method
in the Engineering Magazine. He
says:
Before proceeding with the purchase
OF lands it was necessary to employ
Chinese surveyors to demonstrate to
the land owners that no error in meas
urement had been made by the for
eigners. These native surveyors, with
the right-of-way maps of the railway
engineers, would locate the various
plots of ground and mark out the ex-
terror by stretching a string around
the boundaries of the lots to be meas
ured. Then, taking large wooden
dividers between whose points was ex.
actly five Chinese feet, the surveyor
proceeded to step their spacer around
the exterior of the plot. This meas
uring was done in a rapid manner, the
result carefully tabulated in field books.
and the areas Immediately calculated
upon the abacus. 1t was never thor
oughly understood by US engineers
how the Chinese so quickly measured
and computed these areas, since it had
taken the foreign engineers days to per-
form the same work done by Chinese
in hours. 1t is interesting to add that
the Chinese always checked the maps
exactly"
