Morag, for having undertaken the responsibility of keeping your vessel here at our request, and for having strained every resource of your ship to supply the. wants of those who had been driven, from their houses; to you, gentlemen, the Officers of the Kiangyft, for, the hospitable
and efficient manner in which you'ministered to our wants, ancrificing your own comfort and convenience for our benefit,
"Nothing could exceed the kindness with which all those who took refuge on board your ship were cared for and attended to.
"We are but a little handful of residents here and it would be impossible for us to recognise, in manner suitable to the occasion our appreciation of the kindness shown us in our need. We should like, however, that each and ail of you should have some little souvenir of the occasion, and I beg now on behalf of the Foreign Community of Chinklang, to offer you each such a token. We do so thinking that it may serve as a reminder that your kindness WAS not unappreciated but will always remain with us as a pleasant memory in future days.
We regret that intrinsically, the tokens are of so trifling a nature, but hope that you will accept them in the spirit in which they are offered. I must add that Her Majesty's Minister bas authorised me to contribute on behalf of the British Government towards the testimonials now presentel, and has in a special telegram desired me to express to you bis cordial thanks for your kindness and valuable assistance to British subjecta."
Captain Morse in reply thanked the community. of Chinking for their graceful acknowledgement of the assistance he and the officers of the Kiangyil had been able to render on the occasion referred to, and for the very handsome presents. which, he assured the deputation, would be highly valued. He hoped there would be no more rioting at Chinklang, but if unhappily there should be, he trusted that the community would again find a vessel at hand ready to give all possible assistance:
PEKING.
27th April,, 1889. The Imperial German Legation is now, presided over by Baron von Ketteler, by rank ist Secretary, and now Chargé d'Affaires."
Col. Denby, Minister of the United States, now dayer of the Peking diplomatic body as successor to Herr von Brandt, is at present vishing the silver lead. (galena) mines at Jeho He has with him Mr. Cheshire, the Chinese Secretary of the United States Legation. From all we hear we can congratulate the Chinese authorities on the selection of Mr. Church as Engineer or Superintendent as his complete knowledge of mining, mineralogy, and metallurgy enables him to deal practically with several difficult and some rather unusual problems.
The unsatisfactory condition of the Peking pass system under which goods of foreign origin are admitted ostensibly for the use of the foreign community in, that city, is again coming, into disagreeable prominence. A week ago we were threatened with a stoppage of our bread supply, as the only foreign baker had but a few pounds of four left, and Aminadab, the owner of the one barrel in the place, demanded $15 for what is only worth $1ogo After much delay the Tientsin Taotal issued the required pass, and we will have bread on our tables for a while, at any rate, until some new scandal arises. Now we are threatened, for another reason, with a scarcity of kerosine, candles, and sugar; but this time the Chinese are not in fault.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1889.
THE ALUMINIUM AGE,
The world has had its ages of stone and bronze. We are now passing through the iron age. Will this be succeeded by, an age of aluminium? We believe that it will. It faxes one's imagination A little, we confess, but not one's credulity, to see, in the mind's eye, the bright and beautiful aluminium replacing binck and ugly iron in most
of the latter's present uses.

CITY HALL, HONGKONG," Under the distinguished Patronage of His ExcellENCY THE GOVERNOR, SIR G. WILLIAM DES VOUX, K.C.M.G.
ADAME
Fancy houses built ofaluminiu, instead ofiron, The weight of the new metal is only a third as much as fron, with equal or greater tensile strength. The girders and the plates could be cast and readily handled in sizes far larger than M
hose to which architectural iron is now confined- Perhaps whole fronts of moderate-sized houses could be molded in a single piece. This would greatly facilitate building operations, which are
now Blow.
Aluminium is as fire-prof as iron. The larger the plates of the meial,composing the side of the house, the less liable are they to be warped and curled by intense heat. A building with alumi nium walls-such as we have described--would survive a great conflagration in which iron structures of existing patterns would wither and crumble to the ground. As aluminium never rusts, a house constructed of it would always exhibit a silvery, glistening surface. It would require no cleaning, except. as smoke or dust might gradually dim its native beauty. A sponge and water would bring all that back.
Whenever aluminium is cheap enough for house-building, steamships will be made of it. This will be a revolution in ocean commerce. Halls of aluminium ships will weigh only third as much as iron ones of equal tonnage They will be as strong and secure against damage from collision as iron vessels now are. Their far greater buoyancy will be to that extent an increase of safety,
Passenger cars, made of aluminium in light and graceful patterns-including wheels of the same metal-need weigh no more than the wooden cars of our day, and they would be in- combustible and would not be readily crumpled up or smashed into splinters by collisions. The perils of railroad traveling, in the age of alu minium will be much less than now.
The ductility of aluminium will render it the best of all possible materials for bridges. The weight of the wire ropes, as also of the bridge itself, for a given span, being but one third that of iron, engineers will perform feats of bridge. building now wholly beyond their powers. The age of aluminium will be the age of bridges. They will probably be thrown over the East and North rivers at intervals of every few blocks.
With the sufficient cheapening of aluminium may come the realization of the flying machine. One great obstacle to the success of aerial navi gation is the difficulty of supplying a practicable motor either to propel or to steer the balloon. The want is still more seriously felt if the design is to dispense with gas and imitate merely the movement of a bird's wings or a fish's tail in: cleaving the air. The small weight of an alu minium engine, driven by compressed air, gas, or electricity, compared with its iron equi Valent, undoubtedly makes the ultimate success of air ships more probable than before.
The sources of supply are inexhaustible. Iron, Copper, silver, gold are found only in localities geographically small Hut one of the most universally distributed materials of the earth beneath our feet is clay, the metallic base of which is aluminium. Having boundless faith in the ingenuity of man lo overcome difficulties, we confidently expect him to wrest this now stubborn metal from its superabundant com. binations, and enable the world soon to enter on the ge of aluminium.-V.. Y. Journal of Commerce. ***
The Chinese may have cause for displeasure at abuses of the pass system whereby goods intended for sale to Chinese are entered duty free as if for foreign consumption, and even goods of pure native ownership and for sale by natives to natives, are improperly allowed to escape duty through being falsely declared te be foreign owned and for foreign use. Besides defrauding the revenue these, practices bent OPERATING PILLS,
unfairly on the legitimate Chinese trader who has no foreign ally to smuggle his goods. It is clearly for the common Interest of all that irregularities of this kind should be put a stop to, and that the Chinese authorities may have no ground of complaint of the abuse of the privileges allowed in foreign residents in the capital..
The evil results of the theft of documents, the impudent espionage which by-the-bye is more often than not productive of comical effects, owing to the imperfect understanding of the culprits the purloining of letters, and the not infrequent attempts, sometimes successful, to levy contributions from foreign contractor, have been made known to the Viceroy from time to time, but so far without much result. Some years ago his seals were taken, and stamps were
