Started to Save It. London,—To St. Paul's ' Cathedral, Lincoln Cathedral and the Minster of York, Durham Castle has now to be added as mother magnificent ecclesi- astical property in banger of collapse. St. Paul's, Lincoln and York have been taken care of, With constant watching they should stand for; cena turaes to come. But the danger of collapse, which was first noted at Dur- ham two years ago, has not been warded off. It has grown worse. The loose soil which overlies the solid .rock off the Castle hill is slowly slipping beneath the castle's weight. The en- tire west wall is now found to be in danger of sliding from its place and into the river 'far below. Within the last few weeks the Bishop of Durham and the county authorities have asked for £150,000 with -which to begin work at once on the underpinning of the castle. In the employment of a hill -site for the display of splendid architecture, Durham is rivaled in England only by Lincoln,' where also cathedral and castle share a commanding site, 'Lin- coln, ' however, falls short of Durham 'both in the outer majesty and in the history of its mighty group. The first eight of Durham is, indeed, one of the great experiences of English travel. Beside the cathedral, the symbol of the spiritual authority of the Bishops of Durham, stands the castle, the sym- bol of their temporal authority. No- where else in Ragland can the thin- ness of the line which divided spiritual from temporal authority in medieval times be more vividly realized than in the sight of Durham's Cathedral and castle crowning the summit of their. river -circled hill. Age and weather have, of course, left their marks on the castle, but it is the movement of the ground be- neath it which, after 900 years of history, has now threatened it with ris- aster. The whole western side is in danger of collapsing and the north side is beginning to be .affected as well. Cracks have appeared and are slowly widening in the circular 'stair- case deading to the roof near Tun - stall's chapel on the north side. The walls are beginning to split lomgitud- finally as well as directly acroes and it has becomenecessary to grout all the walla and then to underpin them. The grouting has already begun, but has had to be interrupted more than once for lackoffunds, and it is now believed that the total expense of all the work necessary will run up in the end to somewhere between £150,0010 and £200,00. It has always been sup- posed that the western front was built on solid rock, but investigation has shown that the walls are bedded upon • a thin layer of broken freestone and below this there is a bed of marly shale about twenty-eight feet deep on top of fairly sound rock. The weight of the walls and buttresses, built al- most on the- vergs of the steep bank, is crushing this yielding and uncon- tamed mass outward toward the river and, though the movement is at pres- ent slow, no one can tell when it may be accelerated. At present the great hall is used by the new University of Durham and is hung with portraits of the teachers and scho°iars. The Bishop of Durham- has his suite of rooms at the head of the 'staircase and one of the other suites in the vast old place is set apart as a lodging for judges on cir- cuit. The castle •been for tress and has . e n palace and for last ninety-five • years a college of -the University of Durham. ::Its great hall was inexis- tence took r pilgrim's fence before Chance a Pl 6'1 their way to C anter bur Y and long be- fore any of the present halls in Ox- ford and Cambridge were built. For impressiveness its hallahas no rival in England. There are •a good many • English halls snore ornate, but there is no medieval hall in the kingdom that leaves upon the mind the same impres- sion of dignity. The university which uses it is one of the youngest in the kingdom. Parts of the castle have now had to be tem- porarily abandoned, owing to the acute risk of their collapse. Impreknable as the mighty .castle looks from a dis- tance, time has spared it no more than it has spared St. Paul's in London or the Minster in York.

I-Iowever, those who followed in their footsteps realized the beauties of the territory now included in the 5,300 square miles of Jasper National Park and in naming the lakes, rivers and peaks of this area, used names which were expressive of Asir characteristics. Thus, in the case of the lake on the shore of which was later located Jasper Park Lodge, the magnificent log cabin bungalow hotel of the Cana- dian National Railways, the name Lac Beauvert (Beautiftit Green Lake) was applied. . That no more fitting name could have been chosen for this beautiful body of water is evident to every visitor to Jasper. Clear, green water, reflecting the glory of the sur- rounding parka, greets the tourist when he strolls from his cabin at Jasper Park Lodge to the shore of this lake, and so free of vegetable matter is this icy cold water that he can easily read a news. paper which has been weighted and sunk under several feet of. water. Canoes and boats are available for those who would paddle or row over its glassy surface, and a swimming tank with heated water, has been constructed on the shore of the lake. Jasper Park Lodge will be visited this year by members of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers' Association at the conclusion of their Annual Convention at the Macdonald Hotel, Edmonton, Alta.

Chili from Paotingful to Tsangchow. "Without Manchuria, which sur rounds China's northeastern corner, Chili would not only occupy the posi- tion of New England in the United States, but its similarity to Yankee America also extends to its shape, climate and topography. Chili—even has a Cape Cod Bay formed by the Gulf of Chili—with the blunted pen1h= sola of Shantung Province forming the cape. The Chinese province, how- ever, covers nearly twice the area of the New England States and has a fourth the population of the entire- United ntireUnited States, most of which is con- centrated in the plain country extend- ing for about 100 miles from the coast. Nearly every square foot of this area is occupied by cities, villages, or- chards, grazing land and small farms. "Travelers in Chili are astonished by the large production of agricultural Pd products in the province with the crude methods and devices used cr by the farmers. In many sections grain is winnowed in the manner employed in Egypt in ancient times: Thresh. Ing machines consist, of many bladed p a dies with which the grain • is a , beaten, or large rough roller stones drawn over the grain by plodding bul- locks. It is a common sight in the remote districts to see women squat- ting beside large atone troughs pound- ing wheat for daily consumption, and now and then one sees a blindfolded horse trotting around in a circle hitch- ed to a huge grinding stone. In some sections of the province the work of the women and the horse is done by windmills with enormous blades or crude waterpower machinery. "As in Massachusetts; many of Chihli's industrial cites are situated up the various rivers away from the sea.
