Color Photography.

Color photography proves incon-
testably the general truth of Monet's
observation that, in shadows, colors
continue their vibrations, weakened
but still existent. in contradistinction
to the practice Of the academic paint
ers in making burnt-umber and lamp
black serve as shadows in their paint
iugs. 1t also proves that the color OF
flesh is not always rose color, the color
OF foliage not always green, or the
color OF q tablecloth not always white,
and that color may be brilliant-in-
deed. s,arklingly vivid-without being

Chinese Inns.

Travellers in China have to en-
counter many unpleasant experiences.
Sleeping at native inn would be one
of these. a writer says: Nearly
every village possesses an inn, and the
only difference between these inns IS
the varying amount of discomfort the
traveller has to endure, for none are
good. The best room consists of four
walls, a matched roof and a door,
though the latter is not essential The
floor is of mud and very far from being
level. and there is the 'kang, or
Chinese bedplace, on which camp beds
can be erected. Chairs and a rickety
table can frequently be obtained,
though the innkeeper may have to
borrow them from his neighbors.
There are always windows covered
with filthy paper broken away in a
thousand places. but rarely is glass to
be met with, except perhaps in a large
town inn. The walls are usually of
mud bricks. sometimes partially
covered with paper as filthy as that
which acts as windows, and usually
| bearing Il few red paper Chinese
characters expressing happiness and
| similar good wishes, or bearing a
quotation from the classics. 1t is
perhaps, needless to say that the dirt
OF the rooms is usually very horrible
and there is plenty of vermn. The
| innkeeper never likes to tall the guest
the price. as he is terrified of naming
a sum smaller than the guest would
perhaps pay if left to himself tt
decide, but the right price seems to bt
