"SHIP FOR CAPTAIN SCOTT.
PURCHASE OF A FAMOUS VESSEL.
The following statement was issued to the London Frous recently from the alias of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-
Arrangements have been made for the pur- chase of the steamship Terra Nova for the British Antarctic Expedition 1910. The Terrs Nova is the largest of the old Scottish whalers.

This, then, is my second reason for shedding bitter, tears and for forcing myself into utterance.
With China's vast resources, the first essential for securing place among the nations is to develop forestry, mines, fiaberies, railroads, and commerce.

for forcing myself into utterance,
Literary ability should be made the essential standard for youraging talent, and mero- tricions pomp should be discouraged. Military efficiency thould be made the essential for developing a national array, and mere display should be disregarded. If our nationals inay chunge their citizenship at will, a convenient opening is thus afforded for those devoid of all national feeling of loyalty. If punishments be commuted with fines, a bad precedent is crented for wealthy evildoers to avail themselves of.
In fliese hard times, distinctions between Manchu and Chinese should be obliterated in earnest and not as a mere topic of conversation. The standard of officials' morals should be raised. by decapitating greedy sycophants: Officials salaries should be inade suficient for defraying maintenance expenses, and the price of the people's food should be regulate Genoval co-ordination should be introduced and severity be tampered with kindness.
Says the proverb: Kindness without more. rity results in aggression from abroad. Severity without kindness results in rebellion at home." Existence may still be maintained against aggression, but rebellion resultain disintegration. That is my fourth reason for shedding bitter tears, and for forcing myself into utterance.
The above remarks represent a fool's single sucessful inspiration, and are not the dolorous complainings of fancied disease. I therefore entreat your Imperial Highness to pay careful heed thereto.
EXTENSIVE AND COSTLY EQUIPMENT. The size and strength of the ship make hor n fitting receptacle for the extensive equipment which it is necessary she should carry for the fall success of the plans of the crpedition. After being duly inspected on behalf of the expedition in Newfoundland she will-anil for England and it is hoped, will reach the Thames about the end of October or early in November.
The Terra Nors is bought, but not yet paid for, and such an arrangement for 80- airing the Fasol is only possible beco the vendors, Messrs. Bowring Brothers, of St. John's, Newfoundland, are as sanguine as Capt. Scott that the British public intends that his expedition should start in Angust, 1910.10.
Not only has the ship heen obtaired on most reasonable terms, but in addition to this the Liverpool and London directors of Musers. C. T. Bowring und Co., Limited, have promised donation of £500 to the funds of the expedition, and the brekers, Messrs. David Bruce & Co... have also promised to the expedition a large portion of their commission on the transaction, which practically amounts to a gift of £16 to its funds. It is certainly most gratifying to think that the expedition, will sail in a ship which is both British built and British owned.
The expedition is now complete as far as assistants to Captain Scott and offers and crew of the ship are concerned, and no me applica tions for service can be entertained
