electric cab some four or five years ago, in the shape of the weighty and un reliable vehicles popularly known as 'buzzers' from the noise which accom- panied their running. We have now the electric cab in numbers and in greatly improved form; indeed they are the fashionable carriage but they are privately hired, and do not ply for the patronage of the general public, for which no motor cab is, at present available. The new petrol hansom looks a very practical vehicle. It has a hansour body at the rear of the four wheeled motorcar frame, and a little in front of it is the seat for the driver, before whom is a 12 h. p. motor under "the usual bonnot. The carriage has pneumatic tyres, and a long wheel-base, which will largely prevent sideslip. Its maximum speed is twenty-five miles an hour, though as the legal limit in London streets will next year be ten miles an hour, it will not often have a chance of using its top gear. It will be interesting to see the effect of the ten miles limit on the motor hansom. At present when a man is in a hurry to catch a train he calls a cab and tells the driver to go like blazes; and the man does so and does not get into. trouble. But under the ten mile limit, the man in a hurry will have the an noyance of seeing a bansom that could convey bim faster than auy horse drawn cab, but he will not be able to use it because of the speed restriction, which the chauffeur will be afraid to disobey. So that people who want us basten will take the horse-drawn cab because the driver has no fear of a fine for fast driving before his eyes, and the motorist will have.

London is at the present moment- invaded by Americans, and they seem to be more numerous than ever this 1946 season. They are everywhere, in the big shops, in the trains and omnibuses in all the theatres and show places.

In fact there are a number of improvements which they could suggest for the Metropolis,

TANG YUEN,
The very grave indictment of the War Office which the report. of the Commission of enquiry into the Boer campaign really amounts to, although it is a temporising document, abstain- ing from condemning in so many words matters which are obviously deserving of the strictest censure, has created asen- sation. It is so evident that jealousies and divided counsels have involved the country in loss of reputation, of life, and of money, that, the revelation has profoundly stirred the public mind, Even the America Cup race has played

report, the more so as Army reform has been so warmly advocated of late. The Commissioners themselves do express hopeful views for the future. For example, Sir George Taubman Goldie
in the memorandum: 'Only an extraordinary combination of fort- unate circumstances saved the Empire during the early months of 1900, and there is no reason to expect a repetition of such fortune, if, as appears probable, the next national emergency [finds us still discussing our preparations. But the public, thanks to the harsh lessons of the War, knows more about its Army than it has done for very many years, and has a deeper insight into its shortcomings. There has been a genera) quickening up in life, owing to the more strenuous struggle for existence, and even the War Office may find that its days of incompetence and slothfulness, wrapped in coils of red-tape, have at Irst come to an end. What is wanted in the War Office, as in most Govern ment departments, is the introduction of a few men of business. This is a terrible suggestion to those encrusted with the traditions of the Service, but the fact remains that one could not. manage a drapery-store on the lines of incompetence and ignorance of business methods which have characterised the administration of the Army. It will need a very strong man, backed by the whole force of public opinion, to reform the Army; but it must be done, and the sooner the better. The man who can evolve order and efficiency out of the present clmos, will.render a service to his country that should secure for him Justing fame.
Bangoon School-boys Strike,
The school-boy strike at Rangoon con- tinnes, and a monster meeting of parents nd guardians was held, on September 21. when resolutious were passed objecting to the forms of saluration required by the school authorities, In the afternoon a de- putation of one hundred parents and in- Buential members of the community met the headmaster of the Colloge, to whom a copy of the resolutions were handed for submission to the Director of Public In-
struction.
A Judge's Narrow Escape.
The Sta dard of the 5th ult. reports --Mr Justice Channell, who is staying with Lady Channell and family at Falmouth, was nearly drowned in the harbour while cruising in a sailing dinghy with a friend yesterday. The boat capsized, and the occupants were precipitated into the water, but they managed to cling to some gear until rescued by a passing pleasure steamer. The Judge was in the water a considerable time before a lifebalz was thrown to him, but he is little the worse for his imhzersion.
The Command at Tientsin.
Th World ys :- Brigadier-General Ventrs has arrived at Tientsin, and assum- ed command of the forces in North China on appointment. With his arrival son changes are, it is believed, to take place on the Staff; but there is no present intention of reducing the strength of the British Forces. General Vontris's selection fer to indicate
this command would seem
h
desire on the part of the military authorities to push him on later, though at present this could scarcely be done withent injustice to others, as he is comparatively young for his standing in the Service.

Fire on a Mail Train.
While the Indian mail train was run-

The following account of the accident is given at the Paris Postal Department: The sacks containing the British mails from India and Australia are carried through French territory by a special train which leaves the Calais Harbour Station at 3.25 every Saturday morning. When, however, the number of mail waggous is such as to prevent their being all included in this train, some of them are attached to the P. and O. Company's special which precedes
the mail. This was the case on Saturday, The mail on that day consisted of 2,340 bags, and it was

His Excellency pointed out that Dr. a statement Atkinson's lecture was simply of what was proposed to be done by the Society. It was perfectly clear that it was hard to exaggerate the importance of the subject that had been brought before them, and he thought that if the gentlemen looked round them in Hongkong they would see that the conditions prevalent called for amelioration. It was hard to conceive a collection of human beings in a more insanitary condition. In the new Public Health Bill that was being talked about so much there were proposals that would have a far-reaching effect. Lateral windows could be secured in the buildings in some following interesting article, which appear-sion at Johannesburg.

He retted that he Health would be unable to be sent at any more of the lectures owing to his coming departure.
Dr Atkinson remarked that to Chinese sanitation was unknown, but flis Exellency asked had Hongkong done any better than the Chinese on the other side of the water? He thought the effect of bad sinells was overestimated and was generally considered as a loaded gun, whereas he considered it only a blank cartridge. In old Kowloon where bad smells were prevalent, plague was unknown, but he thought the lectures would throw a lot of light on this subject. He had no doubt that perfect drainage would be conducive to health.

Gibson and Browne in order to see whether there was a course. The any demand for such attendance at these lectures was very encouraging, and before Dr. Clark left for home on leave, he addressed the Home Institute in order to ascertain whether they were willing to establish a Branch here. A favourable reply was received, and then the subject was broached by Dr Pearse and the Sanitary Board.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY. This is theage of research and experiment, when all uature, so to speak, is ransacked by the scientific for the comfort and happiness of man. Science has indeed made giant strides during the past century, and among the-by no means least important discoveries in medicine comes that of Therapion, particulars of which will be found in another column. This preparation is unquestionably one of the most genuine and reliable Patent Medicines everintroduced, and has, we understand, been used Ricord, Rostan, in the Continental Hospitals by Jobert, Velpeau, Maisonneuve, the well-known Chassaignac, and indeed by all who are the celebrated Lallemand, and Roux, by whoza it was some time since uniformly adopted, and that it is worthy the attention of those whorequiresuch a remedy we think there is no doubt. From the time of Aristotle downwards, a potent agent in the removal of these diseases has (like the famed phi- losopher's stone) been the object of search of some hopeful, generous minds; and far beyond the mere power- such could ever have been discovered-of transmuting the baser metals into gold is surely the discovery of a remedy so potent as to replenish the falling energies of the comfirmed rend in the one case, and in the other so effectually, speedily and safely to expel from the system without the aid, or even the knowledge, of a second party the polsons of acquired or inherited disease in all their protean forms as to leavenotalat or trace behind. Such is The New French Remedy Therapion, which may certainly rank pth, if not take precedence of, many of the discov Hes of our day, about which no little ostentation and noise have been made, andtheextensiveanderer-increasing demand that has been created for this medicine Wherever intro duced appears to prove that it is destined to cast into oblivion all those questionable remedies that were formerly the sole reliance of medical men. Therapion may be obtained in England, direct. from the proprietor, and of the principal Chemists and Merchants throughout the Colonies, India, China, Japan, &c, not even excluding suos remote districts as Central Africs, the jinde, St. Elena,&c.-DiamondFields Adverblan
