Attitude Toward Railways.

The Yangtse river is the great CONNER
cfal artery of China, but corresponding
amount of traffic is reported from every
other navigable stream and canal. And
every railway under operation did a big
business and paid large dividends. both
from freight and passenger traffic. There
has been radical change in the disposition
of the common people of China toward
railways. The first track was laid in China
in 1876 by Russell & Co. of Boston. to
carry freight between Shanghai and WI
sung. at the mouth of the Yangtse river,
where there is bar that deep draft steam
ers cannot pass. This road, fourteen miles
long. was bought up by the Chinese gov
eminent, and the rails were torn from tie
ties and stacked in heaps in the bitches be-
cause they interfered with the free move
ments of the "fung-shuy'-the spirits OF
the dead, which are constantly moving
about in the atmosphere. The telegraph
wires also bothered the flung -shuy good
deal at first, and local magistrates at diff
ferent points were in the habit of tearing
them down for that reason, until Ii hung
Chang sent out a circular saying that he
would cut of the head OF every magistrate
who meddled with the telegraph wires after
a certain date. That seemed to reconcile
the "fung-shuy' to the Geographic service.
as the pecuniary indemnity paid by the
railway companies has reconciled them to
railways in nearly every part of the en-
pire.
The entire uncultivated surface of China
is covered with graves The population Is
SO dense that 1t is difficult to find ground
that can be spared from cultivation for the
burial of the dead. and the moment you
leave a town a village you can see the
conical mounds that mark the cemeteries
In every direction and occupy all available
space. At first the railway surveyors en-
deavored to avoid them. because IL grave
were disturbed a riot was sure to follow.
but in these degenerate days the ideas OF
the foreign devils are being so rapidly
adopted by the Chinese that railway Hne
may be laid anywhere provided the desecra-
ton of burial places Is atoned for by the
payment of s. CMexican) per grave to the
magistrate having jurisdiction. II the fam
fIy of the deceased become aware Of the
transaction he will settle with them on the
best basis he can arrange. II no claimant
appears he pockets the money. This ar
rangement Is now universal from one end
of China to the other, and 1t Is found to be
the simplest and most satisfactory method
of propitiating the '.fung-shuy' and recon
CLING the souls of the living to the desecra-
ton Of the graves of their ancestors.
Occasionally there Is disturbance IN
some benighted section of the interior
where the people have not yet become ac-
customed to modern ideas, and II remeru-
Der correctly, we found similar trouble In
developing the transportation system OF our
own country. Honest yeomen rested their
shCtsuns on the rail fences along the right
Of way waiting for the surveyors. It ID
also true. throughout China, that mischiey-
GUS persons are constantly meddiing with
switches, robbing station houses and doing
