Moji is the most northerly port of the Island of Kiu-Shiu and is beautifully situated on a small and very hilly peninsular at the western entrance of the Inland This new city is rapidly rising, and for the importance of its Trade bids fair in a short time to take second place amongst the cities of Japan. It is healthy and cool in summer, and has excellent water. Fine buildings are being erected by banks, etc. Moji is the outlet of a large coal trade, the coal being brought by railways and junks from abundant sources inland in Kiu-Shiu. The city faces the old town of Akamagaseki about a mile away across the Straits of Shimonoseki, which have a current of seven knots. The whole of the coal passes through Moji, and the steamers from all ports of the world (numbering occasionally as many as 50 at one time) all lie on the Moji side of the straits, where are also the head Banking, Harbour, Quarantine, Customs, &c., offices of the district. Though communication is now established between Nagasaki and Tokyo by railway, and fine ferry boats ply across the straits between the termini of the Kiu- Shiu and Sanyo Railway, the journey from Nagasaki to Moji occupies about 10 hours, and from Moji to Kobe 12 hours. Within 40 minutes by Kiu Shiu Railway one can reach the new Imperial Iron Foundry at Yawata Machi, which was opened on 18th No- vember, 1901, with much ceremony. Moji boasts of Electric Light Works, an Ice Factory,
