In no country in the world is there a greater need for engineers than in China. There are great railroads to build and to operate, mines to develop, rivers to improve and control, problems of sanitation and irrigation to solve.

MARRIAGE OF MISS MANSON.
At St. George's, Hanover-square, last month, Mr. Philip H. Bahr, M.A. M.B., son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Bahr, of Perrysfield House, Oxted, Surrey, was married to Miss Edith Margaret Manson, eldest daughter of Sir Patrick Mauson, K.C.M.G., F.RS., and Lady Manson, of 21, Queen Anne-street, Cavendish square. The bride's father, who is medical adviser to the Colonial Office and Lecturer at the London School of Tropical Medicine, has been medical officer at Chinese parts. The marriage was golemnised by the Rev. H. Fearnley-Whittingstall, rector of Chalfont, Bucks, assisted by the Rev. Darid Anderson, rector of St. George's: the service was choral, and the church was adorned with flowers and folinge

The Foreign Office had no authority; it attempted to exercies no authority. It was simply bureau of trans- mission. Despatches from foreign Ministers lay unanswered for months.
THE DOWNFALL OF YUAN SHIH-KAI. From this position, as was pointed out in The Times of September 22. 1908, the Wai- wupa was rescued by the ability and energy of Yuan Shih-kai, its Assistant-President, who had no fear of accepting responsibility, whose name carried immense weight in the provinces, who was backed by the prestige always associat ed with the Viceroyalty of the Metropolitan Province. His dismissal not only removed from office à statesman who had rendered signal service to the empire, but it shook the co- fidence of other aspirants for office and rendered the position of Minister in the Waiwapu one not to be envied.

It may not be out of place to say a few words the advantages and disadvantages of toaching science and engineering in Chinese rather than in English. At Shansi students who could read Boglish were unobtainable, and teaching in Chinese has been carried on with credit. The other institutions have preferred to got students with some knowledge of English, and give them additional preparation if necessary. At the present time this is undoubtedly the bettor method, when such students can be obtained, Men who can teach science, and especially engineering, in Chinese are rare indeed.
