Canton, China
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old Siwash.7

NANTON is the metropolis of China.
1t contains two million people ac-
cOrdiDg to the most ACCOMPLISHED
guessers. All of these people look alike
to the occidental visitor and for ali we
know, the Chinese government may have
been marching a few thousand Cantonese
around and around past the census emu
meratOrs for the last ten thousand years.
Canton looks from the Mills around
it ike a large prairie of red roofs. 1t
has no great buildings and very few
moving picture theaters. It has 500
streets through some of which fat men
have to edge sideways and two large
pagOdas which form its only sky line.
When the tourist invades England, he is
shown buildings zoo years old. But Can
tons biggest pagoda is 1900 years old
and Is still in perfect health.
Canton is situated on the Pearl river
in the south part of China and can be
reached by steamer from Hong Kong,
20 miles away. The principal Occupa-
ton for tourists is waiting for the re-
turn boat and hunting for a breeze which
blows toward the city instead of away
from it. Canton is cleaned regularly
during the visits of Halley's comet.
Most of the houses in Canton are two
stories high, The city occupies 10 square
