It is a pathetic circumstance that everything is built upon selfishness; but the fact is that the nation which looks after itself generally has its hands full and cannot waste time looking after anybody else ön a large-hearted and generous basis. If it does lend itself to any such foolishness, somebody invariably comes up behind it, and hits it on the head when it isn't tooking. Even interna- tional law is a jure selfish attempt to keep things going quietly and smoothly for selfish ends, and treaties are built up on a selfish plan by which each de tries to get all it can. selfish to live because by so doing each man redu.es another's chance of living. And just here we notice with regret that the proprietors of the grieved Overland China Mail sellishly charged a shilling for the issue in which their pathetic reproach was published, when in our humble and perhaps worthless opinion it wasn't really worth more than twopence. The world is full of selfishness, and what is com- monly called Justice is merely an arrangement by which no man is to allowed to carry, his selfishness, further than his neighbour. When the scale is evenly balanced, then earthly per fection will have been reached.

In some recent calculations that I made for sexver extensions I found it necessary to take- after due investigation-3 inches of rain-fall per hour over the built area of Victoria and 2 inches per hour from the hill-sides above the city as the maximum quantity to be dealt with.
The 'total discharge from the drainage area between Middle Strection the West and Garden Road on the East worked out to 5,875,633 cubic" fect per hour or 95,428 cubic feet per minute.

IT has been officially notified, says the Nagasaki Rising Sun of July 23th, that on and after the 1st of September next, the export duty on Japanese coal will be abolished, a step upon which the Government is to be congratulated. In reality, it has been almost as good as' abolished for a number of years, as since steam- ships have entirely replaced sailing vessels all coal from treaty ports has been exported "for ships' use," which, through an oversight in the goods. Originally it was intended that all coal catties, equivalent to22 dollar cents per ton; at the same time it was also stipulated that all sup plies for ships' use, without exception, were to be exported free of duty, consequently, so long as coal was exported in sailing vessels no difficulty
