(Prepared by the National Geo~rraphlc Society, Waohlnl'ton, D. C.J R ECENT revolutionary activities in China have been largely in the province of Hunan, just south of the Yangtze, and in Changsha, Its capital; and have threatened besides the busy life of Hankow, metropolis of Hnpeh province, on the north bank of the great rl ver. C'hang!ih1l was captured by the Communist forces and was systematically looted. The resident of Changsha Is noted for his self-esteem. He considers himself China's "top-slue-man." CapItal of a hilly provinre, one part of which is, occupied by a large lake which acts ns a reservoir for the Yangtze floods, Chang~ha mnintalned Its exclusion of the "foreign di>vil" until the beginning of this century. Recently .rt has been closely llnkt>d with New Haven, Conn., for there Is, just outside the rapidly disappearing wall, In which the lnhahitants once took great pride, one of the hest Christian mission schools In China, which Is Yale's contribution to the education of th-e Chinese who cannot come to America. In Hunan the ne<'roman<"er has exerted much power and Chnngshn was so well protected by the lucky constellatlon under which It was founded and hy the Holy Hill which guards lt, that It was thought a profanation for tht> "foreign deYil" to enter. In 1()10 there \\'Pre serious r·iots, mainly directed against the growing commercia! pow('r of for!'ign firms, but It had, too, Its 'astronomical accompaniments, : for it was the approach of Hallt'y's comet which touclr!'d off the explosion. 1 Long before Yale estahlished the "Yale in China" college and hospitnl In Changsha, tire city "·as closely related to Ameri<'a for It was in the capital of Hunnn that man.v of the firecrackers which formerly announ<'ed lhe Independence day celt>hration were !made. While maintaining its own tn!lependence, Chnngsha furnished the explosiYes which enabled the Ameriboy to proclaim his "Glorious 1 can :Fourth." Much Coal in Hunan. A large part of Hunan is an un"·orked field of anthracitf! and bituminous coal and at Pinghslang, which 1 Is connected with Changsha by railroad, there Is one of the mines which furnishes fuel for the great iron works at Hanyang. Among the great men who have been among Chnngsha's chief products the most famous wns General Tseng Kuo I•'an, whose co-operation with "Chinese" Gordon was largely · Instrumental in putting down the Taiping rebellion. General Tseng was not only u soldier and a statesman, but a literary mnn as well, and his collected works of 156 books were edited by Ll Ilung Chang. Changsha lies on the north-south China railway. 'ITains compete with the lig-ht draft steamers which make the 220-mile trip from Hankow. With about 500,000 Inhabitants, It rules In peace time a province of 22,000,000, and is one of the cleanest cities in China. Many of the streets are long and straight and at one time the city Itself was divided bet ween two mag-ilitracies. 'l'he bazaars are full of life and interest, some of the candies beIng famous for miles around. One of the Interesting sights of the city ls the wheelbarrows that climb stairs. Some distance ahead of the regulation wheel there is another smaller one. In climhing over flagstone ste-ps or bridges, the handl!'s of the wheelbarrow nre lowered until the auxiliary wheel rises above the next bigher step. Then the wheel harrow, which often carries thJ'!'e or four hundred pounds, see-saws from wheel to wheel until the next level stretch or flagstones is reached . '.rhe Epir.copal mission has a live Boy Scout troop and the visitor who watched tent-pegging, tire r~>s<'ue, stretcher mnking and other Roy !';('out activities would marvel at Chinn's quicl; changes. For until after the Boxer trouble, Hunan's t'apital excluded the dreaded for('ignet· from its walls whose hrick battlements, ri~lng ahove the site of a former wall constructed In 2V2 B. C., wer·e them:;;elves built while Shnkespeare was alive. Hankow a Great River Port. . Hankow, ahout 100 miles north of I Chanislla, Is one of the world's great- I I t est Inland ports. Lying 600 miles up the Yangtze, the cl ty Is as important geographically to either of the warring factions as Chicago would be If a civil war were raging in the United States. Hankow has only one railroad, but the rivers and streams of China form commercial arteries from which produce from nine provinces flows Into the Hankow markets, whlle the port is equally Important as a dlstrib· uting point for foreign commerce destined to the Chinese Interior. Hankow occupies the north bank of the Yangtze where the Han pours in Its muddy torrent. On the opposite side of the Han lies Hanyang, and across the n~>arly two-mile-wide Yangtze is Wuchnng, a venerable town which was flouri~'<hing when Ilankow was a fishing hamlet. Both Hanyang and Wuchang now are a part of "Greater Hankow" with more than a million and a half Inhabitants. The Hankow river front Is an amazing conglomeration of shi[Jping. '!'here are ungainly junks, but they move about the water in the hands of expert rh·er men as easily as modern ves~els in our busy eastern harbors. Some of them, displaying rotten hulks with gaping holes above the water line, cause the traveler to wonder how they stay afloat, while now and then a huge high-pooped craft, adorned with brightly painted carvings and plates th11t make It look like a floating eircus wagon, edges its \vay slowly shoreward. Small sampans dart here and there hy the muscle-power of two perspiring coolies whose families, under matting-covered awnings, fill the air along the shore w!th the singsong chatter of the Orif'nt. It is estimated that 25,000 native boats ply in and out of Hankow nnd its sister cities. Meanwhile modem steamhoats fr·om lower Yangtze points come and go on schedule. 1 'l'he walled city in the background also seethes with commercial activity to the tune of nois!'s that strain the visitor's eardrums. Some of the narrow lanes are paved with flagstones while others are mere ruts. Nevertheless, they are the playgrounds of thousands of children and the busy streets of a city which has bi>en culled the "Ilub of the Uni\·erse." Business and Noise. 'l'he children yell at play; the vendors cry out their wares; coolies, bearing heavy hurdens, warn passersby to dodge their . bulky loads; beggars groan and moan; and rickshaw boys, without regard to pedestrians, shout as they hurry their fares through a jumbled mass of humanity. · The yells of carriers of wealthy Chinese, as thi>y bear their dignified masters, can be heard above the din, and the traveler wonders If these men are not employed for the strength of their vocal chords. But this is not all. Along the side· lines, the merchants bicker in loud voices with prospective purchasers In front of their shops. The frenzied spirit of bargaining somewhat resembles miniature civil wars. 'l'o the foreigner, the pedestrians in their loose-fitting clothing resemble pajama-clad citizens on parade, but the wearers are by no means ready to retire. Business in llankow is nlmost a religion, and nearly every man seen on the street has to do with the enormous amount of commerce that flows through and past the busy port. If a traveler knows the advertising code in Ilunkow, he can locate any type of bu~iness by reading the shapes and colors of the shop signs which proje<"t over the narrow thoroughfnres. For lnstan('!', gol<l platers use salmoncolored hoards with green rharlicters. Druggists' hoar(!S are gild<'d. Blacl{, gol<l, red and greeD are the predominating color·s. Approach the river front, along the Bum!, an<l the scene ch~1nges. Hero ar·e buildings in nussian. English, German, and French architecture. But Hmrlww's most amazing spectacle is tire panorama of junks of many types, ungainly, but performing lil'e tmineJ seals in the hands of their e.xpert rivermcn and thousands of these craft line up for miles on both sides of both rivers. It is estimated that 2:1,000 of them ply ln and out of tlw three cities. NE of the finest bridges In the world, Waterloo bridge in London, commands a magnificent view of the western part of the ctty between Westminster and St. Paul's, as well as the Thames embankment and the massive, but well proportioned facade of Som· erset house. The bridge has figured prominently ln the history of the ()tty of London and has also been the scene of a number of crimes, the most striking of which was known as the "Waterloo bridge murder,'' the more remarkable because It occurred In the midst of a crowded city. The finding of a carpet IJag by a passing policeman was the first step which led to the discovery of the fact that a murder had been committed. Upon examination, the bag was found to contain portions of a human bodythe head, the greater portion of the spine, the hands, feet, and the left side o! the chest. 'l'he questions submitted to the medleal inepectors at Scotland Yard had reference to the sex, age and height of the deceased; the cause of death; the period which had elapsed between the occurrence of death and the find· lng of the body ; whether or not th~ body had been used as a subject for anatomical research and the presence of any peculiarities which might result In an identification of the remains. On the whole, these questions were answered with a thoroughnesa and accuracy possible only through the work of a body of trained Investigators. The rema)ns, declared the medical experts, were those of a man who, judging from the full development of the man had been dark haired and a malformation or o•e ot the feet made It probable that he had walked with a slight limp. The cause of death was plainly apparent. A wound had been inflicted with some long and narrow instrument between the third and fourth ribs on the left side of the chest, piercing directly to the heart. The appearance of the wound led the inspectors to declare that It anmt have been Inflicted during life or immedl· ately after death, the former alternative being the more consist<m.t with the facts In the case. In short, the cause of death appeared to be entirely consistent with the theory of murder of a very deliberate type. Equally Important, from the viewpoint of the detectives, was the fixing of the definite date of the crime, but on s·u ch point it was necessary to rely mainly on speculation, for direct evidence could not of course be offered. '.rhe perl'ect state of preservation of the remains, however, indicated they must have been subjected to some process of preservation, prou· ably with a view to preventing discovery of the crime through decomposition. The portions of the body had, the experts declared, been boiled and salted, thus adding another factor to the already large number of indl<'ations of the extremely cold-blooded nature of the crime. The fact that the remains had thus been artificially presel'\'ed rendered the calculation of the period of death uncertain, but the examiners came to the conclusion that the man must have been dead for at least three or four weeks before the remains had been found on Waterloo bridge. Not a particle of evidence was ever forthcoming that the body had been used for anatomical purposes. On the contrary, the manner ln which the parts had been separated by a saw proved the murderer to have been entirely ignorant of even the rudiments of anatomical knowledge. For many months elforts were made to identify the mutilated remains, but although persons came from all parts of England and even from across the channel to view the ghastly evidence, not the slightest clew was ever discovered, either to the murderer or the murdered. l~very mysterious disappearance ln London for months previous to the finding of the body was Investigated, criminals of all types were rounded up and examined and the entire machinery of Scotland yard was set in motion to no avail. The Waterloo bridge murder remainedas it remains today-one of the crimes to which not the slightest clew bas ever been discovered.

The Gnited Statei'l public health service comes to this conclusion after study of the United States cenRus reports and state ml>rtnlity records for a group of northern and southern gtates and four southern cities. The I trend for npgro babies was found usn- 1 ally to follow that for white bnhie!!l ln 1 the ~ame local it~·; in two rlties-Rnltimore and Hichmond-the mortality rate for negro infants has declined more rapidly than that for white.
