A HARD RACE TO CONQUER.

China, the despised, evokes the en-
thusiasm of our consul at Hungchau,

teach civilization in the development

For some four centuries 1t has not
only enjoyed an elaborate scheme of
transportation through the building of
canals, but co-eXtensive herewith II
has worked out the "by-products"
idea with admirable industry and in
genuity. The canals are used to flood
the rice fields, the rice fields provide
fish hatcheries, edible roots are
grown on the swampy grounds, reeds
and water plants are gathered for flu
el and the manufacture of baskets.
muck is taken from the bottom of the
artificial water courses for fertilizer.
Thus the very labor of cleaning and
dredging is made profitable, SO that
what might be an expense becomes a
valued privilege.
That the methods employed in this
KIND OF industrialism are ancient is
true, but 1t is also true that II Is
utterly impossible to dispossess such
people as those who have devised and
carried on the system. In this, as in
many other branches of Chinese in
dustry, proof is abundant that western
has met its master. 1t can
seize territory, but only to bring new
power to its inhabitants. For to their
unremitting labor, their economy.
