GATEWAY OF ANCIENT CHINA.
Old Mud Fort With Heap. Of smaI,
Stones for Use Of Defenders.

Chia-yu-Kuan has for centuries been
the spot where merchants, as we'll as
embassies from the West, have been
forced to await the permission of tho
mighty emperors of Cathay before en-.
tering China. As such, and from its
remote situation-remote that is, so
far as Europeans are concerned-this
frontier post has long enjoyed halo
OF romance in Chinese eyes. In real.
ity 1t Is a mud brick fort, far inferior
to such places as are to be seen at
Lahore and other Indian cantonments
long ago given up, except as mere
quarters.
The walls at Chia-yu-Kuan enclose
an area some 1870 to 15O yards square
On the north and south sides these
are double the outer, being 20 feet
high and four to six feet thick. East
and. west there are double gates OF
solid aspect. and the inner wall is 30
to 40 feet high all around. From out
side the fort has, to the Oriental eye,
an imposing appearance which the in
side does its best to atone for. Here
Is to be seen a collection of dirty
mud novels. with one ofIicial residence
of the poorest kind. Along the wall
runs a narrow parapet. some four
feet from the summit, but, owing to
It's height, unapproachablc from below
except in two Or three places.
From the point OF view Of modern
defense the whole position Is pitiable
