A short distance away lies. to my mind. the most unique city in the world. that of Canton. which has two and a half millions of inhabitants. and not a single wheel moves there. not even a wheelbarrow. with no beast of burden except man. More than that. we were unable to get through the streets in this city except in a sedan chair. carried by from three to four coolies. The streets of the city are between 6 and 8 feet in width. they rarely go beyond that. There is an immense amount of property in the shape of merchandise in that town.
