in the memory of this generation, "Our men swore dreadfully In Flanders" and acted as dreadfully as they swore. The "Spanish Fury" and the French Fury" at Antwerp during the struggle of the Netherlands for independence fell little abort of Oriental feracity. As recently as 1820 the exploits of British idlers in America needed but little exacerbation to rival the worst records. At New Orleans the General-to-Com- mand issued as password for the day of intended assault the atrocious hint, "Booty and beauty" and when, on the march to Washington, the soldiers, at the village of New Hampstead, violated the women, their commander made shift to excuse himself by alleging that as old Peninsular campaigners they had acquired habits of a regrotable character.
It appears, then, that whether the process be pacific or warlike, the Mongolian cannot fail to impress himself upon the fature population of

as nearly equivalent, even in the former case, to overrunning it, and as in the latter case tantamount, to monopolising it. There lacks for the more terrific event an augmentation of motive forces already in operation. The torrent of Mongolians who obliterated the Roman Empire received its first impulse from

and ultimately mingled massa merged European civilization from the banks of the Rhine and Danube to the southern most cape of what is now Spain. Much consolation is sometimes pretended to be found in the circumstances that modern war partakes largely of the quality of a science, and its matériel demands for its construction and removal mechanical processes and accomplish- ments which China as yet has not adopted. But this is slender comfort in an age when the very savages of Polynesia fire upon boats' crews with magazine rifles, when African kings insist upon having Gatling and Maxim guns when complimentary gifts are in question, and when our commercial morality is so debased that the most pious merchant shuts his eyes, his cars, and his conscience while his agents barter rum, rifies, and Bibles in mixed assortments for ivory and gold-dust, copra and pearlsbell, and when, if two nations, are biowing each other's people to atoms, the traders of a third are eagerly hovering round with explosives to sell,-- Sydney Bulletin.

In steam and electric engineering the same tendency is seen. At the Homestead Steel Works, Pittsburg, there is about to be placed one of the largest Corliss engines in the world, with a horizontal cylinder 54x72 inches. The fly-wheel will weigh 200,000 pounds. The whole weight of the engine will be over 500,- co pounds, and it is expected to develop 3,500 borse-power. The Corliss engine, the largest in the world, was built at the Sebo fron works, Bolton, England. It is of 5,000-horsepower, of the vertical type, and stands forty-eight feet high. It is designed to drive the Ferranti dynamos, forty-five feet in diameter, mentioned below, The West End Electric railway station in Boston is to have thirteen engines of 1,000 horsepower each. TheyTHE Steamship ate to be triple compound, with cylinders 21, 37 and 52 inches diameter. The power is trans: mitted by two belts for each engine, each belt five feet wide, Steam will be furnished by twenty-four water tube boilers, each rated at 600 horsepower: The new cable railway station of the West Side Cable railway, in Chicago, has two Greene engines, each 36x72 inches; each engine weighs 238,000 pounds and has a capacity of 1300 borse- power.
