As will be seen by Mies Turner's
letter. it was the 1vidgeon which
escorted her patty down the river.
Mention is made in her letter that the
gunboat might be unable to return
down the river as the water often
drops very rapidly. It is possible
that this is the reason why the
commander of the Widgeon refused to
escort Mr. Plewman's party down the
stream.
The despatch from Shanghai came in
skeleton form and- appeared in Mon-

inland port nn the 1 angtae River, that
we reached three days ago in our
houseboat, there was a terrible scene
of desolation. Thousands of houses
had been destroyed.
Nor did we complete the running of
the gauntlet from within sigbt of the
mountains of Thilet to the Pacific
coast without Irving in peril from

They may lie rags indeed, but one

Chinese Music.
To any one that has heard a Chinese
orchestra hard at it, it may come so
a surprise to learn that there are
trained musicians of our own kind
who seriously profess uncertainty whe-
her the Chinese have not really ad-
vanced beyond us in music.
A distinguished authority has point-
ed out that the Chinese people were
the first in the history of music to
develop a system of octaves, a circle
of fifths and a lot of other harmonica]
technics, and these back in the days
when our ancestors had not even
evolved the simplest Corms of melody.
Whether or not we shall finally ar-
rive at an understanding of and a
liking for something that shall ap-
proach the "harmonious discords" of
the Chinese, close observers claim to
have discovered among the mnaicians
and lovers of music a steadily in-
creasing sensitiveness to harmonies
the existence of which was formerly
unknown.
Subtle harmonies of today, it is
added, are understood, which, 40 or 60
years ado Pisa, would have been
deemed Mcesteprehetuible. At any
