The fourth slide on the screen depicted a mound and shrine marking the burial place of Japanese invaders slain in 1530, and in this connection the lecturer said that back in the sixteenth century the Eastern coast of China was frequently invaded and ravaged by Japanese pirates in the days of the Ming dynasty, and the slide showed the tomb of and memoria templo to General Teo Hsiang, who re pelled one of the, Japanese invadera.
The slides of Nant'ungchow showed in teresting views of canoe digging

The audience Wataons (old) were later treated to an interesting slide depicting a general view of T'ang Chia Cha, the industrial suburb of Nant'ungehow, and which is connected by a network of canals with all the im-. portant centres of the district.
THE RIFT IN THE LUTE.- Mr. Cleanoll old his hearers that he had visited several of the factories in hard that town, and that on every there was evidence of varied enter prise and much activity. But there "is a rift in the lute. As everywhere in China where ills of modern type have come into existence there is," said the lecturer, a large proportion of child labour, and little precaution was visible against accidents from machinery or care taken as to sanitation. It ap- peared to me that even under the eye of exceptional leaders, conditions in
not t China remained as would tolerated in England.".
How patriotic a Chinese gentleman can be is exemplified by Mr. Chang Chien, who, the lecturer pointed out, has not only raised Nant ungehow to the position it holds to-day, bus main fains a private army for the defence of his model city. Mr. Clennell described it as much more than a mere police force, and with it, Nant'ungehow and the surrounding regions have been kept out of bounds during the civil war which has distracted every other part of China
Mr. Clennell kept his audience in- terested with his references to the great varieties of public amenities" and con- veniences of the town of its museum, ornamental lake, public parks, children's with recreation grounds well as

*
Already the Prince of Wales's visit. to the rich countries of South America has stimulated trade between those countries and Great Britain.
We estimate that the next twelve months returns will show an increase in trade of from 15 per cent, to a5 much as 30 per cent. Already big con.. "tracts involving large sums have come to this country from both the Argentine and Chile; while, stirred by the Prince's words of how we are losing trade, British merchants are actively setting to work and sending out their repte- sentatives.
Within the next few weeks, a deputa tion of Venezuelan business men is pro- posing to visit this country with the purpose of talking over a table with our own business men, to show 'thein that although the Prince was not able to visit Venezuela: this little republic, which, for its size, has more British capital invested in it than any other of the 17 South American Republica, is "determined that industrial intercourse between Latin-America and this coun try shall be developed to the utmost
