Chinese Architecture.

The monuments of China are among
the most conspicuous in the world.
Interpreted broadly they range from a
coin or an oracle bone to the Great
wall. China has more than 1000 i'm
portant specimens of the pagoda. an
original form OF tower architecture I'M
surpassed for beauty by any similar
kind OF structure. The Porcelain tower
at Marking deserved TO be ranged with
the wonders Of the world. and for
reasons which made 1t the superior of
the so called seven wonders. Chinese
sculpture has never been surpassed.
and there is no evidence In mundane
art to show that 1t ever will be. There
is single fragment in the Metropoli-
tan museum in New York-a stone
head Of the Tang period whose gran
deur of plastic mastery since its ap-
pearance has conferred distinction upon
the sculpture OF the world. Journal of

FRENCH MARINE
SUFFERS LOSSES
DIVIDENDS MUCH LOWER THAN
THOSE PAID BY ENGLISH
COMPANIES


PARIS, May While France suf-
fers from the extraordinary ocean
freight rates now prevailing, her
steamship owners reap little or none
of the profits. DIVIDENDS of French
navigation companies-such as declar
ed various dividends-ran from 6 to
Is per cent while British, Dutch and
Scandinavian companies distributed
!. from 5 to 100 per cent among their
shareholders.
One English company declared a
dividend of 106 per cent, one so per
cent, one 40 per cent, seven from 25
to 40 per cent and 29 companies divi-
bends ran from 10 to 20 per cent. Two
Dutch companies divided 100 per cent,
two so per cent and two 40 per cent
and only one as little as 25 per cent.
The comparatively poor showing of
the French merchant fleet. is explain
ed partly by the considerable requisi-
tions made by the government and
other war disturbances that did not
affect neutral countries and were felt
far less proportionately in England be-
cause British owners continued to pro
fiji from outgoing freight which the
French fleet has always lacked.
