For the benefit of those who are not fortunate enough to travel and enjoy the beauties and customs of different countries, a film of this kind is an innovation, for it takes us on a boat down the beautiful Imperial Canal of China. If we were there in reality it could not be much more enjoyable than this picture, which favors us with a wonderful view of the famous wall of China as it stands to-day in a stage of decay, a monument to a famous fanatical nation. We next see a log-float with miles and miles of timber coming downstream, also we see an original lock. It is a device where the Chinese lower or raise a boat in streams that are not on the same level. They fasten ropes at the stern and draw the boats out of the water and let them slide gently down the opposite side into the other pool. We are now on our way again down the stream, passing through a beautiful mountainous country with as much satisfaction as though we were actually there.
