The railway line is especially interesting, being a task under taken and successfully com pleted by the Chinese without foreign aid, JThe Chinese en gineers solved many difficult problems of construction dur ing the building of the railway. The greatest engineering diffi culty was encountered at Nan kow Pass, where the grade is steep and numerous sharp curves were necessary. At an other point difficulties were encountered, between Nankow and Pata Lin, a distance of ten miles, where the railway rises to a high altitude. Four tun nels at tir's point were neces sary. One of these reaches the summit of the Pass, and is 3, 00Q feet long. The construc tion of this section of the line took, four years. The construction of the Great Wall of China was begun in the third century B. C. by Chin Shih "Huang Ti, who at tempted to end the feudal stage of China by burning all books of Classical Literature and executing many scholars by burning them alive in order -hat all memory- of the past might be lost. He was accus ed of taking these drastic measures so that all history miirht begin with himself. He is also credited with building; ty.
