Near this tower is the North Star
Hill, surmounted by a Taoist temple.
We climb up this hill over a beaten
path worn smooth by the feet of
countless worshipers of past gener
atoms, and from there get view of
the whole city. We can see the dis
tant hills, shaped like a dragons
back, which caused Chu Hung Wo to
build his capital here.
Chu started life as beggar, but he
organized rebellion which enabled
him to conquer China He founded
the Ming dynasty. under which were
accomplished the greatest things that
the Chinese have ever done in archi-
lecture and public improvements.
The dragon, you know, is the i'm
perial animal OF China, and 1t is sup
posed to bring luck. According to the
ancient beliefs a dragon can do any
thing. It can make itself as big as an
elephant or as small as gnat, can
build up empires and throw down
kings. Some years ago I was in China
just before an eclipse of the moon
was to occur. The Picking Gazette
soberly announced that the people
should turn out and make a great
| noise on the night Of the eclipse, as
it was said that the dragon would
| then try to swallow the moon, and
he should be scared away. Welt. the

demanded that I show my special
passport, which It is necessary to
have in travelling in the interior of
China, and inquired IL I possessed
any firearms. IT was with much diff
Guilty that I dissuaded him from ex-
aiming my baggage IN search of
weapons, and he finally permitted me
to proceed.
An automobile took me from the
station to my hotel just outside of the
entrance gate of the city. We drove
first through the small suburb of
Siakwan, which lies Immediately out
side the walls surrounding Marking
on the side toward the river. On the
opposite, or north shore, is Pukow,
the southern terminus of the railroad
from Teintsip. It is connected by a
ferry service with the Shanghai
Marking railroad.
Most of the foreign business houses
have their establishments in Siakwan,
but foreigners are also permitted to
reside and do business in Marking
proper. Ocean steamers call at the
port of Marking, and until the build
ing of the two railroads I have men
toned practically all of the freight
entering or leaving the city was
handled by boats and barges on the
Yangtse River.

wars and revolutions which had been
fought out on this spot.

10 miles long, and this wall OF Nan
king is "a miles in length. The city
occupies only a small part of the in
closure, and the wall runs UP and
down over a rolling country, taking
in small farms and market gardens,
many of which stand upon the site
of the greater Marking of the past.
The distance across the Enclosure
from one wall to the other is more
than miles and there is room enough
to accommodate double its present pop
ulation of less than one-haf million.
In the days of the Ming emperors
the city had more than twice as many
people, and land that is now farmed
is sprinkled with archways, that mark
the sites of bridges in the greater
Marking. The ancient city has for
the most part crumbled away to dust,
and one feels that he is in the open
country, rather than on the site of
one of the great capitals of China.
But suppose you join me in a ride
through the Marking of today. l have
engaged an American car which is
now waiting outside the hotel door
Our Chinese chauffeur is dressed in a
white coat, and a chauffeur's cap
fits snugly on his closely shaven head.
He is accompanied by footman who
sits by his side and whose chief duty
seems to be to see that the passengers
do not escape without paying cum

AS we drive from the hotel I am
constantly frightened, for we narrow
ly miss several pedestrians, who seem
to be even more reckless than. jay
