To the Editor of the Nonta-Catsa Dany News, Sin,—In a recent issue it is stated that the Han River is navigable for three hundred miles from its mouth. Williams, in his Middle Kingdom, says it is navigable for this distance, i.e. to Fanch'eng or Lao-hok'ou, only inthe summer time. Asa matter of fact the Han is navigable by fair-sized_junks to Hanchunefu, twelve hundred English miles, and that. for most of the year: to smaller boats all the year round.
