Oti a great throne pf them, gathered
on the barren ,slope of a mountain
peak. Seen from' Os little distance, theY
have the appearance of a crowd of
hooded monks, n11 in. whitennd kneel-
ing in serried lines. It is a remark-
able illusion, for' the 'monks" are not
human at all, nor alive. Each one of
them is a block of snow 'or ice. But
what is the meaning of this curious
phenomenon? ,HOw are the 'snow
figures fashiened? And why are they
found in that particular region and no-
where else in the world? Nobody can
say. One theory is .that 'the fallen

that the powerful rays of an overhead
sun first melt those parts of it around,
the denser spots, leaving ' the latter
still frozen, to assume the form of
snow men.
'As the snow continues to melt water

The arrangement of the white figures

The Changing Face of
Chinese Cities.
A tourist on the trip round the
world always stops' at Shanghai, the
principal port of China, and ,from it
visite the show places of the provinces
of Kiangsu an'd Chekiang. , Ile ,sees
rice paddles, the canals, the Yangtze,
the, temples and pagedas but he may
not realize that the smokestacks ris-
ing hare and there in the calm of the
Chinese landscape denote important
cotton, flour and bean -oil industries
that are the beginning of a modern in-
dustrial nation. In Canton, the chang-
ing face of the city—broad streets,
great stores, hotels comparable to the
beet of their kind anywhere in the
world—is more striking. Once the
tourist understands what Chinese
planning is capable of he cannot but
wonder if awakening Chide is not des-
tined to become one of the greatest
nationof tho world.

I drop my anchor in the bay
'Where gentle little ripples are,
And in the water and the sky

Nor fret because'l linger here.

Though all my venturings are done.
Yet if a passing ship should hail
