They Arc Marrow and Crooked and
Edged With Ditchcs.
The Chinese road is private prop
crty. Il strip taken from somebody's
land. This is done much against the
will of the owner, since he not only
loses the use of it, but also still has to
l,sy taxes OIL it,
One consequence is that 1t is wide
enough for only one vehicle. and carts
can pass one another only by trcspass-
Ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep bitches by
the roadside. AS the surface wears
away and the dust blows Off 1t gradu-
ally grows lower. and after awhile it
becomes drain for the surrounding
fields. A current forms in the rainy
season. which still further hoIlows it
out. and thus has arisen the proverb
that road thousand years old be-
comes IL river.
Those whose lands are used for
roads naturally prefer to have the
roads run along the edge Of their
farms instead OF cutting across them,
and this accounts for the fact that
Chinese roads are often SO crooked
that one may have to go considerable
distance to reach place that is in re-
ality but a few miles away. This al.
ways interests the stranger.
