He then want to Rome and became a pupil of the well-known soulp or Teneraai, with whom he remained for savpral years. In 1850 he came to London and was at once ongaged by Monti, wun hecams celebrated by his work in the Great Exhibition of 1851; and after this liaggi was engaged by Matthew Noble, and was his principal assistant for a long term of years.

For some time past a very large number of Osaka river bals have been using petrol motors, of which the first samples emo from a certain manufactory in the United States. These ap Par, then to have been copied, and, in some oures, it is claimed, improved upon, so that now the majority of the motors used on the river craft are of Japan's manufacture.

My own doctor put ine on Angler's Emulsion, and since taking it I am rapidiy gaining weight, and expect soon to be back to my nomal condition and be able to. remain at home.
