To me city man one of the most satisfying views, a vista which never loses its charm or variety. Is the broac area which greets tlio eye nt the his toric site of old Fort George In upper Manhattan. When reached by the sub way, the visitor In alighting at the 191st street station platform Is a once aware that he Is deep below the I surface of the ground. From the vaulted roof of the "tube" he hears the drip, drip of water from deep un derground springs that will not be closed and which all human ingenuity has thus far been unable to copo with. To the left he sees the entrance to New York's famous tunnel street, a connection hollowed out of solid rock to the roadway of upper Broadway, which here runs deep down in the valley between the two towering rocky spines of the northern end of the is land. Then taking the elevator, the impression of .depth is continued and the visitor goes up and up and on up till the surface Is reached nearly - feet above the level at which he alight ed from the train.

In another direction roll out before the eye the wide acres of Van Cort landt Park and beyond It the varied landscape of Westchester county; on the other side the Harlem, river and more wooded and rocky hillside on the Bronx side, with (he columns of the Hall of Kaiue completing the pic ture. Truly, It is a view worth going many a mile to see, never lacking In Interest or variety, and thoroughly typical of the great city wherein it lies. 'The city man loves' that view and goes there often to rest by look ing above the rusli and hurly-burly and noise of the city, at the beauties which lie on the higher level of vision. OLD AND PROFITABLE TRADE Chinese Government Derives a Hand some Revenue From the Tea Mar kets of Szechuan Province. The ten trade of Tatsienlu, In the Chinese province of ^hLa clnian, near the Tibetan border, was first started in tTTe reign of Yung Clieng. some L'<k> years ago. At that time, it i? said, Tatsienlu did not exist as a town, but tents were pitched in the valley, and the Tibetans gathered and bartered on the occasion of religious The tea trade is now established under government control, yielding a handsome revenue. Licenses are Is sued quarterly, and taken up by over 100 firms engaged in the trade. Each license costs one tael In Chinese money, equivalent to about 80 cents in American exchange. The license al lows the holder to import five bales of tea into Tatsienlu. more helng permit ted according to requirements. Ten has become almost indis pensable to the Tibetans, hence they are naturally drawn to the tea mar ket, to which they bring their own products for sale or exelmnge. One of the largest firms in Tatsienlu buys as many as 20,000 bales, others 10, 000 bales. The total regular licenses Is sued annually Is given as 108,000. The licenses were formerly issued at Cheng tu, but the authority was trans ferred to Tatsienlu in 1018. Under the old arrangement, (he tax was paid when the tea actually passed the local customs at Tatsienlu. Now It Is paid when the license? are issued, or within three months of that time. The annual turnover is fully 1,000,0<X) taels. f>ince the trade has been es tablished s?? long, it has probably reached Its muxliuum, but with seri ous competition from India, which the Chinese have feared for many years, the trade in Tatsienlu would declin* materially.
