even though she NAV not have deyel-
Oped them into elaborate and scientific
systems. The method OF calculation
used in the Chinese banks may seem

it is carried on with rapidly and ac.

Fongkong. tells of his visit to one OF
the banks.
As an Englishman he was received
with great civility "Schrofr' shouted
