The Camel's Swiftness. Everyone has heard of the swiftness of the dromedary, that on his natlve sands he can travel faster than an Arab horse. There is picturesque Rastern proverb which declares: “When thou shalt meet a camel and 8moking in Church.

The people have this story as to its construction: A water owl lives underground at this place and when he shakes his tail it causes earthquakes. Geomancers located the end of his tail, and the pagoda was built on it to hold it down. At the same time this did not prevent the water owl from winking his eyes: but, as his eyelids have not been accurately located, a second pagoda has not vet been built. As a result, tremblings of the “still oceur. . ‘The wonder inspired in the breast of the traveler who visits China’s vast remains of abandoned capitals( exten- sive temples ranged in successive court and on terraces of tains, its pagodas, p'ai-lous. bridges, and canals, is equalled by the awe in- spired by the silence and splendor of the tombs of China's emperors. Th tombs of the kings of the ‘Six King- doms’ in Shantung, though now only earthen pyramids terraced with little flelds, have the air of the Pyramids of Egypt. “The Ming tombs, near Peking, are the most famed in our day, perhaps. becauge they are relatively in a good state of preservation and are accessi- ble to travelers. They are approached through the five-arched stone p'ai-lous already mentioned, and by an avenue of stone animals nearly two miles in length. The sacred buildings are plac- ed on the southern slope of the moun- tains and nearly inclosed by their en- circling spurs. “The place has an inspiration to all travelers. In front of the tomb of Yung Lo there is a sacrificial hall that is one of the largest buildings in China, and is perhaps only exceeded in di- mensions by the T'al Miao, or ancen- tral temple of the Manchus, attached to the Forbidden City, Peking. “In the matter of tomb-buitding the emperor of the ‘Three Kingdoms." 220-265 A. D. greatly exceeded the Mings. He ordered his son to build for him 72 tombs, so that his enemies would not know which contained his tablet. The achievement may be not-! ed of another ancient emperor who constructed “his tomb and then built, | peopled and garrisoned a city near by for its protection. Perhaps the Chi- nese, who have performed the greatest of engineering feats, have surpassed the ligyptians, Persians and Greeks in this direction also. “Older than these, and what may be called the one shrine in all China green with the devotion of the people, is the tomb of Confucius in Shantung. Here worship continues through the ages, under the patronage of a ldynasties. since the fifth century A. D., when the Emperor Kao Ti set the example of al sacrifice there. s time went on the dlfferent dy- asties neglected the tombs of their predecessors, so that now the tombs of the Manchus are the best specimens of mausolea in China. “The Manchus followed the Chinese ctistom and law in respect to their an- cestors.
