General Ray Stone, of the United States volunteers, says the roads are ruined by the rainfall, and the only possible chance for traffic is the rail. The rivers have an average fall of 1,500 feet, and in their courses high waterfalls are numerous.

We (NV. G. D. Neter) are informed from another most reliable-source that the news, of it having been the German Minister at Peking who urged his Italian colleague to claim Sanmun Bay is a grave misapprehension. If, on the other hand,
it is said that here as well as in Peking the opinion prevails that it is a great pity that the British Minister was mixed up in the affair at all, will easily be remembered that it is a
| well-known fact that the British Minister, under instructions from home, we presume, has strongly endorsed and backed up the Italian demand.

Ax interesting experiment in egg storage was recently tried at Leith. In June, a batch of Scottish, Irish and Danish eggs were sealed up in a storage apparatus, and were opened and ex- amined four months afterwards and only a small proportion of the eggs were found unfit for use, In this method the eggs are kept cool and the
air is allowed to have, free access around each
egg, which is kept in an upright position. The eggs äre turned periodically, so that the yolk of the egg is constantly embedded in albumch. This is accomplished by placing the eggs in frames which, by the action of a lever, can be inclined in different directions as needed. in this way 23,000 eggs can be turned over in a minute without any chance of breakage.
A SOMEWHAT clever capture was effected by the police on the zits ultimo in Shanghai which, it is hoped, will put a stop to Chinese "boys” ullering counterfeit coin. It appears that a foreign gentleman went into one of the hotels in the Settlement and asked the "boy" to change a dollar. In a little while the boy returned with ten ten-cent pieces, which upon
