He was, no doubt, favoured by the weather, which proved to bave been worth waiting for; still, there was evidently considerable wind at the altitudo bo chose, and its direction was thwart his course.

We may expect from experienco and the ingenuity of inventors a continuous improvement in the adaptation of the seroplane to its environment; yet it seems probablo that the part to be played by the skill, vigilance, and alertness of the airman himself will always be a large one. There are as yet no exact data to show the spood attained by Mr. Rolk, but it was oridently high one, and it will be interesting to compare it with that of Mr. Curtiss in Americs, who travelled nearly 55 miles an hour on a fight of 75 miles, and 51 miles an hour on his whole fight of 150 miles.

treaties the exlating negotiated it was agreed by Japon to admit a-cortola number of articles at specified rates, these conventional agreements being made with several Powers. As scary treaty con tained a most-favoured nation clause, the effect of these arrangements was to make a fixture of the duty on certain articles for the duration of the treaties. Notwithstanding this fact, the Japanese unthorities included these articles under what was called the Statutory Tariff, and affixed duties to them which were greatly in excess of the Conven tional Tariffs, but which, because of those arrangemente, never came into operation. To claim, therefore, that a reduction of duties which were never operative is a redaction of the tariff is really to attempt to mislead the public."
So far as the "proer order" of the nine year' constitutional reform programme mapped admitted that the Government has been exact out in August, 1908, is concerned, it must be anough. The Provincial Assemblies and the Sonate are well up to time; and on February 6 and 7 last two Imperial decrees appeared approv ing schemes submitted by the Commission for Constitutional Reforms, for the institation of local government in prefectures and depart ments, and for reform of the judiciary. Both those schemes come in their right place on the programme, although Chine is likely to wait some time before seeing them put foto effect. The torture administered to the two wretched scapegoats at Chaugahs before their excaution on May 1 does not suggest mach alteration in judicial methods.
