stay here has given us opportunity to
gain some knowledge of the town
which is to be our future home. It
is said that first impressions are often
wrong, but they are bound—like a
dog’s tail—to occur. I give them to
you for what they are—first impres-
sions of a griffin—that’s what they
call that creature who used to be
known in the west as a tenderfoot.
The most notable characteristic of
Chungking is the fog. London has
too long had a corner in the world’s
wading through mire and water.
The many, many other interesting
sights and sounds of this vast coun-
try I'll tell you about from time to
time, but not this time. It would take
half of one’s time to begin to tell ad-
equately all one experiences. Our
next letter will probably be from one
of the stops on our journey to Cheng-
tu.

folks at home would call sunny. And
this is not what the natives call the
rainy season.
A second noticeable characteristic
is that Chungking is a city set on a
hill. As you no doubt know, the city
is situated at the confluence of the
Kialing and Yangtsze rivers. The
peninsula formed by the junction of
the rivers is high and rocky. The re-
sult is a remarkable natural fortified
site. The city wall runs around the
city and adds to the impression of
loftiness one gains of it as he ap-
proaches at the time of low water—
the present season. He is further con-
vinced of the height when he climbs
up the stone steps leading to one of
the city gates.
Boston is known as the city of
crooked streets. I have never been in
Boston, but if that city’s streets
would not seem straight to a Chung-
kingese, I'm mueh mistaken. Day be-
fore yesterday I started for the cus-
tom house alone—my first trip alone.
The half-hour walk took me fifty
minutes. 1 attempted to lower my
record as I came back, but instead I
spent an hour and a half and then had
to ask my way of an English-speak-
ing Chinese.
My other principal impression is
that of filth. This is due to many
causes, no doubt, not the least of
which is the difficulty of getting wa-
ter. All the water used in the city,
with few exceptions, is carried by na-
tive water carriers from the river.
The poor people naturally get along
on as little as possible. Then, too, it
is difficult to keep one’s house and the
street in front clean, when pigs are
allowed the same freedom we allow
our cats and dogs. Even the dogs are
much- diftier than those ‘at home.
Many, if not most, are mangy. There
is little chance of stamping out this
disease, as the Buddhist priests teach
the people that dogs are sacred and
are not to be killed. Even when the
women want to wash they have to use
the muddy waters of the rivers—
most Chinese rivers are very muddy.
In the country I have seen them wash-
ing in the water that stands upon the
rice fields—and that, toc, is muddy.
One interesting sight was to see wom-
en washing clothes and men washing
sturnips for market in the same little
pool. The turnips looked very clean.
I suppose looks satisfied the men.
An interesting fact which is not
classifiable under the head of impres-
gions is that Chinese names are not
often pronounced as they are Roman-
ized—at least not in West China. For
instsnce, Chungking is pronounced
Choongchin. Chengtu is pronounced
Chendu. Luchow, where we are to
change boats on our way to Chengtu,
is pronounced Loodzo. Tzechow, the
home of the Havermales, with whom
we are traveling, is called Dzedzo.
Mr. Rape, of the High school to which
I am to belong, tells an interesting
story of a relative of his who once
pronounced the name “Tis a cow.”
But to me the most interesting of all
is the word Neikiang, which is pro-
nounced Loo-ay-Jahng. The Szech-
wanese cannot distinguish between 1
and n. Some use them interchangea-
bly.
1 have been given a Chinese name.
It is Lo Er Dei, and means happiness
and virtue. Quite difficult to live up
to.
I am more and more impressed with
the opportunity offered here in all
lines of missionary endeavor. The
Chungking High school is doing the
best educational work of any institu-
tion of its sort in West China. Its ex-
pansion and development are only
held in check by lack of funds. They
have recently built a new structure
which is being used on the ground
floor as class rooms, and on the second
floor as dormitories. The school
should have at least two more build-
ings like it. It also needs one or two
more homes for foreign teachers.
Even the most common school equip-
ment at home is often difficult of ac-
quisition. Fifteen hundred miles of
river navigation makes freight rates
almost prohibitive in many instances.
Mr. Rape, the present principal, has |
been in the school for thirteen years, i
and has built it up to its present high
standard. For the benefit of all con-
cerned I think he should return after
his furlough next year to his present
position. He should remain until I
have had time to understand the work
and the people thoroughly, and I think
he will willingly do so.
One day last week Miss Heller and
Miss MacLean took the Blanchards
and us on a sedan chair trip to the
Keystone Power corporation to have
a break in service. Thursday, Febru-
ary 14th, at 8:55 a. m., the current
gave a long dip, a sudden flare and
then snapped off. Immediate investi-
gation followed and it was found that
the trouble was on the Millheim line.
This caused the big automatic switch
on the 44 K. V. line at the Centre sub-
station to kick out. Within thirty
minutes this fact was determined and
the crippled line cut off for further
investigation, while current once more
flowed to all other sections.
A gang of linemen then set out to
patrol the Pennsvalley cripple and
after a diligent and faithful search of
more than forty-eight hours through
rain, snow, a high wind and darkness,
they discovered that ‘some one had
shot holes through three insulators on
a pole near Centre Hall.
A boyish prank, or perhaps a bit of
thoughtlessness on the part of some
older individual, caused all this trou-
ble and general stagnation among the
big power consumers, as well as
greatly inconvenienced thousands of
users of domestic current. The com-
pany would like to impress upon all
citizens the trouble caused by such
tampering with the power lines.
——The weather man is really very
considerate this year of we poor work-
ing people; sending the snows on Sun-
day when we have time to shovel it
off the pavement. This item, of
course, was called forth by the fact
that about twe inches of snow fell on
Sunday.
——The annual football dance of
the Bellefonte Academy will be held
in the armory Friday night, February
29th, from 9. until 2 o'clock. Music
will be furnished by the Challys or-
chestra. All lovers of the light fan-
tastic should keep this date in mind.
