The arch is of most widespread and general appli a Ln, and examination shows that the principles involved are thorcughly understood, as Ihe arches are c mposed of a complete ring of voui soirs, radially jointed and of proper proportions. Moreover, the aich ring is always con timed down to ihe spring, ar.d no built in c nnection with the spandrels, as is commonly done e sewhere The general use of the and sign in all parts of the coun try ar.d the undoubted entioui y of so many cf the existing, examples .clearly demonstrate that it long antedate* any possible foreign suggestions, ard go along way to establish it as of Chinese or g n —a development, however which, like printing and gunpowder and so many oth er inventions and discoveries, never pass ed beyond the national borders. The largest application of the arch i rln ciplo is in the building of bridges, where sians of thirty to forty feet ar * com mon, while single spins of fifty feet are sof n and larger ones piobibly exist. Ling er spans than these are not usually re quired. as those streams which can be bridged do net, as a rule, call for single openings larger than will suffice to pass small boats. The arches are usually of the full half-circle with the spring above the ordinary flow line. The arch joints are cut close ar.d fllltd with hard Arm mor tar. while the spandrels are always built independently of the arch, and usually of inferior workmanship, indicating clearly that the designer understood the theory. From the point of view cf ar Utic a* and essentially Oriental design the pagoda possesses the most intere t. The singu lar constructions, at least one of w’hich nearly every city possesses, fairly dot the surface of the country. Their purpose ap pears to be two-fold—either as monu ments commemorating the virtues* or the muniticence of some departed benefactor, or as ag nts of “Ceng shui’’ (literally “wind and water’’), the spirit genius of good and evil, which, if properly propi tiated, will ward off pest lence and Li mine and permit only prosperity and hap- P ness to vi.-it the neighborhood. These very curious tc-W'ers arc of great antiqui ty. Filin' si records authenticating their origin at least as far back as the early part of the t hristian era. Chinese houses conform to certain general typos; there fore, in its wide range of size and of decorations, from tlie severely plain stone structure to the one covered with colored i!es, (he pagoda marks one of the few breaks in tie - haraceristi a ly nat oual rule of uniformity and furnishes as well an in;eresting construction study. If the arches display a knowledge of theory, the houses arc ingenious applica tions of practice, and the pagodas an ap preciation of the Uautitul. The walls, without which no large city in China ex ists. and which reach their maximum in Pekin or in the even more famous Great Wall, ore an evidence that our Oriental friend was equally at home with large constructic n These great structures, with thtrir massive proportions (as i:i thn Great Wall, wiih its 1 ngtli of 1,600 miles a ross wild hills and desert valleys), with their keeps aid arched gateways, with their paiap ts and moats, fill the observer with admiration The engineering pro gn ss of the Chinaman has been along static ra'her than dynamic line*— :hat F, he has learntd how to construct bridges, erect pgodas . nd concentrate his forces to build a bridge 1,50) miles long, but not how to c.instruct a machine, nor <o do any of the things the basal principle of which is movement. This marks the cleavage line along which foreign inspi ration in the art of consiruction will find an outlet for development. In sol and, sta tionary structures, tno Ch.naman can supply his own demands unaided; but tin* field lor producing those aggrega tions cf engineering and mechanical skill based on the theory or app ication of movement, lies unbroken, and the soil s ilch Ihe idea of economy of movement is absolutely lacking in the Chines-—a singular circumstance, as there is no o her nationality so strongly economical, even io the point of parsimony.
