Network of Canals in China. Holland’s canals are famoiis, but the éanal system of China is far more mar- velous and its value to the enormous empire is simply incalculable. No country in the world has more navi- zable rivers and canals than China. The network of water ways, natural and artificial, so covers the empire that almost as many people live upon the water as on the land The great canal, that wonder of the world, runs north and south from Canton to the »xtremity of the empire, and by this -oute the wares of all nations are car- ried to Peking,.a distance of 825 miles. This canal is fifty feet wide. It pass- es through or near forty-one large cities; it has seventy-fiye large sluices to keep up the water and is spanned by thousands of bridges.
