MINING IN JAPAN...... Regarding gold, silver, copper, and coal mining in Japan, the Zeitschrift für praktische Geologie, furnishes the latest statistes. The development of the niining industries in Japan, since the termination of the kist war, has been rapid one, and that country now furnishes considerable quantities of precious and uselil metals, abhough little is heard abroad of this productioi

The docking capacity is now bunces since 1893, equal to five ships at ne time. According to the reports indeste-the Board of Directors for 1897, not less than eighty-nine vessels were docked, aggregating a tonnage of 217,037. The number of workagen employed is about 2,500.
GIBRALTAR.
Very considerable is the copper production of Jasm, there being at preseft seventy mines. During the fiscal year ending seth June fast, 35,000,000 catties, or about 500,000 centners of copper, valued at 3,800 coo you (about $3,000,000) were mined. Since 1875 the copper production has increased almost ninefold. Most copper is sent to Hongkong, then to China and to England, the total export amounting to 350,000 centners, ie, five-sevenths of the whole production.
Coal mining since the war, risen about 1,500,000 tons, und in, 1897 more than 2,000,000 tons of coal, valued at about $6,000,000; were
From the report on Gibraltar the past year, which has just been published, it seems that the revenue amounted to 1,652, 785 pesetas, derived mainly from port dues, customs, office fees, and posts and telegraph, while the expenditure was 1,531.784 pesetas.

The work of the torpedo boat destroyer is to prevent thertorpeda hint attack, and is, there fore, performed in open water. She must keep the sea with the attacking feel, watching every place of refuge for a torpedo box. She must, therefore, possess spred at least equal to that of the torpedo but; a battery powerful enough to destroy hier: sea-going qudition to enable her to keep a watch in spite of weather.

Such would be an ideal torpedo boat destroyer.
CONCERNING COURTESY IN
JUDGES.
Four things, said the greatest of all the Grecks," belong to a judge to hear courteous ly to answer wisely, to consider soberly, and to decide impartially. We make the first of this quartere of judicial qualities the text of our present observations, and do not refer to incom- petence, partiality or failure of duty, which should be deal with after a different fashion.
The judicial Bench is perhaps of all stations in life flie one that calls for suaviter in modo with a carefully balanced, fortiter in re, demands, and, of necessity, should have un- trammeled freedom of action, and absolute im punity from all control, political, or otherwise, and it is the very counterfeit presentment of in sovereignty itself which can do no wrong thought, word, or deed. Judges are channels of the pure fountain of justice which must re- ceive no pollution whatever, as it flows through them from its royal source to water the seed grain of national peace and prosperity,
Sacred as are the rights of the Bench, equally Bo are those of the Bar, who are the helpmests of the Bencli, and the ranks of the former are the recruiting ground of the latter. To the judes, the Profession and especially its younger members, look for, or should look for, inspira tion and a worthy example, and so it comes that as is the Bench so will be the Bar. A de cadence in the tone of the one works, a cores ponding decadence in that of the other.

OCEAN RECORDS IN 1898.
The honours of the past for fast steaming across the Atlantic gam go to the North German Lloyd steamier Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse which has improved-upon her record of November, 1897, anil on the Southampton-New York route is unapproached, She has also contrived to beat the Lucania's best for a day's' run, and may, therefore, be regarded as the fastest merchant "vessel afloat. It can t course be no particular gratification to us to contemplate this situation and to be compelled to admit that'a vessel of exclusively German construction has beaten the best that we have hitherto-produced-Phere-is-consolation-how.... ever, in the prospect that the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse will not retain the honour long. The new Ureanic of the White Star Line was to be launched on January 14th at Belfast. Her length is 704ft, över all, or 15. longer than was the Great Eastern, and her gross tonnage is over 17,000. In some respects she marks a great departure in steamships, and, though her owners strongly deprecate all ambition to pro- duce a vessel which shall be reinarkable first and last for steaming power, it is well recog nised that this point has been kept well to the front and all we have been told of her fully justifies the expectation that she will prove to be the newest sovereign of the seas.
THE NEW QUICK-FIRING GUN.
The Pester Lloyd has received from what it describes as a trustworthy scource the following interesting particulars respecting the new French quick-firing gun. Tho. introduction of this arm has made such rapid progress for several months past that in all probability over 430 batteries of the field artillery will be fully equipped with it during the coming spring In round numbers this will require 3,000 quick ffing guns, 45,000 ammunition carts, sind 6,000 Other veins, Af the sexinning of the presech year serious uneasiness was felt among Artillery officers at the advantage which the German field artillery was supposed to have secured through an improved description of ordnance. It turned out later on however, that the German artillery still retained their old weapons, and that the adoption of the new system had probably not been sanctioned even,
In France, on the other hand, the In principle. preparations for the introduction of the new gun had been completed last spring It was therefore possible to begin the manufac ture of the guns at Bourges and Puteaux, am munition being at the same time produced on a large scale. All that is known of the new quickfiring gun is that it has a calibre of 7 Centimetres, 2,925 inches, and is capable of dis charging 20 shots a minute, The projectile, shrapnel, has a muzzle velocity of 600 metres, cartridge weigha 6.5 kilogrammes.The the guns, is greatly reduced by means igenique contrivance,
THE CLAYTON-BULWER TREATY.
The Clayton-Bulwer Treaty is still operative as regards the ship canal question, and it is in connection with the Nicaragua Canal, a work of importance now that the United States are becoming a colonial Power, that attention may be called to its provisions, Clause sets out that reither country will obtain or maintain exclusive control, or construct fortifications commanding the canal. By Clause-2, should vessels of the two countries traverse the camil whilst they are at war, they are exempted from blockade, detention or capture, the safety ex- tending from the termini of the canal for such a distance as may hereafter be found expedient to establish." In order to secure the construc- tion of a canal, the Powers undertook by clause 3 to protect the operatives and their property from unjust detention, confiscation, seizure, or any violence whatever. The contracting parties agreed further to use their good offices to in- duce the owners of the territory, traversed to facilitate construction, and to procure the establishment of two free ports at either end of the canal. Clause contains an undertaking to protect the canal from interruption and to guarantee its neutrality: such guarantee and withdrawable on six month's notice should either or both of the lowers consider the regulations, to be contrary to the spirit of the convention by reason of unfair discriminations, exactions, or tolls. The Powers then agreed to invite each friendly State to cater into similar stipulations with them, the object being, as explicitly set forth in clause 6, to benefit mankind equally The principle is later on extended to. any other practicable communication, whether by canal or railway, across the isthmus con. necting North and South America.
The scheme for the Nicaraguan Canal; after being quite dormant for, some thirty years, has had fitful moments of regained vitality; at the present moment recent events have once again brought it into evidence, and, together with it, the much-abused treaty to which, we have adverted. The suggestion that this agreement should be abrogated is one which will doubtless recolve serious, attention on the part of the Government
A great sakage operation is about to be attempted in the Baltic Sea. Last summer the Russian ironclad Mangeruld, while engaged in aff the Finnish coast, after striking on a con- cealed rock not marked on the chart. The wreck now lies in 96 feet of water, at en her side, the bottom being soft mud, into which the vessel has sunk about 20 fees. The Neptun Salvage Association,, of Stockholm, offered to mise the vessel for the sum of 950,000 rubles, on the condition that, if the attempt failed, the cost of the operations to the extent of 1,000,000 kroner (nearly two-thirds of the, contract sum should be reimbursed to the association. This offer has been accepted by the Russian govern. ment and the preliminary work has already commenced.
