Gauge of Chinese Railroads.

Speaking generally, China has adopted the British railroad gauge, that is. four feet eight and a half inches, but she is apparently not insisting upon this. The Chentai line in Yunnan has used the meter gauge, and the Kwangs! authorities appear to have determined to break away from what is supposed to be the standard and have either the meter or a narrow gauge instead. The eventual conversion of these lines will be an expensive business, and China has no money to waste.—National Review.
