l,fUU niles over mountain
and valley. Is doomed. 1t Is
said that under the rule of the
new regent, Prince Chun, progress
siveness will be carried to a point
where not only will the old order of
government see its downfall, but all
that physically recalls the past will
also be destroyed.
Tradition is the yoke that binds
China. 1t is the obstacle that has kept
that country Of marvellous resources
back. Prince Chun knows this, and
1t is said that in his desire to effect
reform he will not content himself
with merely establishing new methods
In his systems Of government, but will
actually wipe out the physical relics
which keep the face of China turned
to the past rather than to the future.
OF all these survivals, the Chinese
wall Is the most famous and the most
wonderful. The countries of power In
the world today were unknown when
this structure was built to keep out
the invader. In cataloguing the won
ders Of the world. 1t has never been
possible to make a classification that
omitted the Chinese wall. 1t was 200
years old when Christ came to earth,
but even then 1t was not the work Of
young nation, for China has his
tory that can be traced back for 5000
years.
The project for tearing down the
Chinese wall originated some years
ago, and 1t Is said that the late en-
press and her son, whose deaths COM
Ing to close together so suddenly
changed the whole aspect of the fu-
ture for China, had consented to abol-
Ish the wall. and had even signed the
contracts for its removal when super.
stitious fear seized them and the order
was revoked.
Descended as they both were from
the Tsin dynasty that built the great
barrier, and having that worship Of
ancestry that is deeply ingrained in
the beliefs of the Mongolian, they
feared at the last moment to commit
this sacrilege on the masterwork of
the dead.
But Prince Chun, who as regent for
the two-year-old baby emperor, is pos
sessed of full authority, has no such
scruples. He is not the offspring Of
emperors and there is nothing to hold
him In check. He Is known to have
strongly advanced ideas and to be es-
pecially Independent and scornful
where the old ideas of the past are
concerned. Therefore, 1t is probable
that he will carry the work of demoli-
ton to a finish.
The interest in whether he does so
goes farther than the mere question
Of the wall. 1t has to do indirectly
with the future Of the immense hordes

them. It was along about this time
that DR.. George Moulton organized in
Lafayette class In the Yoga philoso-
ply. Many women and some men. In
West Lafayette. tn, college town,
joined the class. and It became a great
fad with certain highly educated peo-
pie. Moulton taught that the Yoga phil.
osophy was the religion of the Indian
Yogi, or Soothsayers.
One Of the leading features OF this
doctrine was that of the Withdrawal"
or separation from kindred and
friends. 1t was this feature that at
last fastened itself upon Mrs. Stone as
subsequent events showed Meetings
of DR.. Moulton's class were held in
several homes. Books on the subject
were put in the hands of Mrs. Stone
and other members of the class.
Radical and revolutionary as were
the books of the cult, DR.. Moulton
seemed to go still beyond them, and
evolve a Yoga philosophy of his own.
But the members of the class were
warned not to make public any Of the
private and secret instructions of how
to send telepathic messages, how to
