It is a bachelor’s com- fortâ€"that is to say, no comfort at all. The city of Canton, China, with a million and a half inhabitants, has no place for a street railway system. Canton is one of the wealthiest and most progressive of all the Chinese cities and it would very much like a modern street railway system. But the space within the ancient walls and fortifications is so crowded that many of the so-called streets are but narrow alleys, not even wide enough for two sedan chairs to pass. There is no room for. horses and carriages, and certainly not sufficient space for a narrow-gauge railway. But the Chi- nese engineers are not so easily baf- fled and Canton will have its electric railway. It is planned to tear down the ancient stone walls and fortifi- cations which encircle the entire city. The material’ from these walls will be used to fill some of the old canals which traverse the city. A three- track belt line will be constructed on the site .of the old wall, completely encircling the city, and the old canal sites will be ".sed for feeder lines. “To the right were large oil and water jars. At the back of the save were couscmis covers, the larger ones having come from Ghadames. These covers and couscous plates are high- ly prized and very ~ornamental. Above the plates and covers were a Persian picture and an Arab al'na- nac.” “The cave was whitewashed. To the left were a wooden chest and a gun, one of many. Back of the gun on a stand out out of the rock was'a dark object, an oil 1am' the form dating back to the Greek and Roman days. There was a'white object in the centre, a bedstead cut out of the rock, and there were comfortable mattresses fillec‘ with wool and na- tive blankets and rugs. Above ‘he bedstead was a “.ort of cupboard where snuff, natches and 0th}: arti- cles are placed. All of the 'i‘rogIOdyte towns are set far in the wilderness and can be ap- proached only with the greatest diffi- culty. This makes them places of ex- ceptional vantage in time of war. The peOple could see an enemy approach- ing in the desert for many miles un- less it was at night. Even then the passage-wayâ€"a arrow path. through the mountainâ€"would be too danger- ous for approach, for a misstep would mean a fall of hundreds of feet to the rocks below.

They live on mountain sides. Sometimes there are small groups, :any times a single family. ' The town; are built in ovals, with only one entrance for each tribe, so that a small group of men heavily armed could if necessary protect: their strongholds from thieves or enemies.
