CHlNA'S GRAND CANAL.
Sometimes It Holds Water Enough TO
Float the Boats.

OF some of the crude and outgrown
methods used on China's Grand canal
q writer in the North China Daily
News remarks 1.-The junction of the
real canal with the Wei river was not
by means of a lock, but simply high
and steeply slipping mud bank, over
which the grain vessels had to be
dragged by the force of perhaps many
hundreds of men. 1t should be borne
in mind that in China the lock Of a
canal is not much more like our idea
Of what that name connOtes than it is
like a paddock. Amid constant and
often serious changes Of level. with an
uncertain and not infrequently
scanty supply of water, and with a
grain feet which travelled in blocks of
some eighty vessels under one officer,
it was necessary to devise some way
for keeping them together and for
transferring them as consolidated
unit with this in view.
"For this reason a Chinese lock on
the Grand canal is nothing but stone
gateway into which large boards may
be lowered through a groove in the
stones, restraining most Of the water
from it's flow, until there is a depth
sufficient to float all the craft, when
the boards are pulled up and the en-
tire feet passes through.
after this the boards are again
lowered for another division of the
grain boats. In case the water gives
out-a by no means unlikely occur
rence-there is nothing to do but to
wait until more comes from some
where"
