THE FUEL OF THE FUTURE. Sir W. H. White recently addressed the mechanical section of the British Association: on the use of petroleum fuel for shipping. He says that when sufficient quantities of the fuel can be obtained it has many obvious advantages over, coal, greatly reducing manual labour in ambarking supplies, conveying it to the boilers, and using it as fuel Possibly its advocates have claimed for it greater econcomical advan- lages over coal than can be supported by the results of extended esperiment. Even if the saving in weight for equal evaporation is put as low as 30 per cent. of the corresponding weight of coal, it would amount to 1,000 tons on a first-class Atlantic liner. This saving might be utilised in greater power and higher speed, or in increased load. There would be a substantial saving on the stoke hold staff. At present it does not appent that adequate supplies of liquid fuel are available. Competent authorities, here and abroad, are giving atten tion to this question, and to the development of supplies.
If the want can be met at prices justifying the use of liquid fuel, there will undoubtedly be a movement in that direction. On these view, the Petroleum Industrial little importance to bave such testimony as the and Technical Review remarks: It is not of above, cautious eveti though it is, from such an authority as the chief constructor of the Navy. This cautiousness is merely an official

In reference to the last statement it may be painted out that sufficient supplies for at any rate a large proportion of the steam shipping in Eastern waters are now fairly assured; and distributing arrangements have already been completed at several of the more important ports, and will shortly be ready at nearly every port east of the Canal where the "Shell" Transport and Trading Company is established.

DISPUTED ISLANDS,
The Mapia islands south of the Carolines are not likely now to cause trouble between Holland and Germany, Spain had claimed them as part of the Carolines despite Dutch assertion of sovereign=rights over the islands. Fear of German interference became rife in Holland, when the Jaguar, a German man-of- war, was sent to the Carolines to take posses sion. These fears were allayad by assurances from Berlin that the Jaguar, had received
orders not to go to the Mapia islands. The German press also is of ppinion that no trouble The islands indeed, so it is said, are not worth quarrelling about.

CHEAP QUININE. Professor Koch the well-known fever expert, who is now in Java, has expressed his opinion that quinine is an excellent remedy against malaria. He thinks that it is of the utmost importance that quinine should be brought within easy reach of the native population at the lowest possible price. The Java Govern- ment does this already in times of epidemic. Some people, however, say that at present the furtherance of general sanitation among the Javanese would be more to the purpose than the ready distribution of medicine.

· RUSSO-SPANISH RELATIONS.
MADRID, October 10th. The visit of Count Mouravies, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, to San Sebastian, and his Interviews with Señor Silvela, the Spanish Premier, are till subjects of discussion
in the Press.
In regard to Señor Silvela's, efforts to mini- mise the importance of the visit, it may be pointed out that it is somewhat extraordinary that at-a-time when his presence in Madrid was of the utmost importance, in order that he might devote his whole attention to the many questions which will have to be submitted to Parliament very soon, the Premier should have spent several days in San Sebastian, on what
he describes as a visit of courtesy,
to welcome them.
