times, a long river bank with shall
low, rapidly flowing cold water and
the absence of any shade giving trees
are the three principal health giving
factors relied on. Special care has
been taken to enable schools to make
use of the facilities offered there;
1000 persons can undress at the

that the light from the Gimly burning

grunted. You'd cali boss woman

In fact it was evident that the wit

double sight than to nice distinction

that he was q young college alumnus

The sergeant scowled. This young

stand tamely by and see him discredit-

in a fIIrn

"You saw that it was man, you

addressed Mrs. Philpots, his tone
somewhat softened from it's former

"That is enough" exclaimed Mrs.

Worlds Most Curious Road

men and laborers who came back from
the United States, all with more or
less experience in railroad construc-
ton.
The construction work commenced
in the middle of 1906 and part of the
line was opened to traffic at the begin
ming Of 1908. The whole road is pro-
vided with telephone lines for dis
patching.
Trains run three trips day from
each end, taking about two hours for
the trip. The average daily receipts
are from s225 to $3.50 on passenger
traffic and from $40 to $50 on freight.
with a daily expense of about $3.50.
The capital of the railway is $3.50, 900,
divided into shares Of $3.50 each, all
of which are owned by Chinese, and
pay good dividends to the stockhold-
ers.
There are two loops, one at Kung
Yik and one at Summing. There are
no turnstiles at present, but these
will be put in at Kung Yik, Summing,
Chung Lau, and Au Shan. The head
Office is in Summing city, II miles from
Kung Yik port, where printing Office
is established for printing the time
tables, tariffs and advertising matter
for the road.
At Kung Yik there are an office,
a storeroom, a machine shop, a black
smith shop, foundry. There are no
overhead bridges or tunnels on the
line. The road is sand, gravel and
earth ballasted, standard gauge and
single track, with a side track at every
station

China May Rightly Lay Claim to Line
That is Unique Among Earth's
Railroads.

The most curious railroad In the
world is in China, and it was built
and financed solely by Chinese. 1t is
also operated by Cinnamon. 1t is
known as the Summing railway, and its
terminus is at Kung Yik port, 12O
miles southwest of Canton.
At present there are 80 miles in op-
Grafton, and there are four miles un-
der construction, and four miles more
proposed, making total of 40 miles
when the whole enterprise is finished.
The idea of building this railroad
originated with Mr.. Chin Gee Hee,
who was then in the United States,
and some subscriptions for stock were
secured from other Chinese residents
of the United States. The majority OF
the stock, however, is now owned by
residents of the Province Of Kwang-
tung.
When the road was surveyed the
villagers were very much opposed to
it and refused to sell land to the com
pany to be used for railroad purposes,
but after meeting all these obstruc-
lions for a considerable time with
great patience the projectors finally
obtained their consent to and co-opera-
ton in its construction.
The line is being constructed entire
ly by non-scientifc Chinese. No per-
son of any nationality other than Chi
nese has ever been connected in any
way with the building of this road. 1t
is being built under the direction of
Mr.. Chin, president of the railway,
who returned to China from the Unit
ed States after 40 years experience
there, some of which was as a railroad
foreman and contractor.
He has no engineering or railroad
knowledge other than the experience
gained while in the United States. He
has the help of about 100 Chinese fore
