^ LITERARY NOTES.
Mr. Fisher Unwin bas just published in his Colonial Library Mr. Hany Furniss's "Con- fessions of a Caricaturist" This large and important book promises to be one of the most prominent volumes of the season. The author's humpar, is well known, and he has drawn weil upon it to brighen the pages of his book. Ha sketches his career from his earliest days to his arrival in London at the age of nineteen, and from that time to his appointment to the staff of Punch He is equally readable when ho tells of his Parliamentary career and his tours in Australia and Amarica, the latter of which included the experience of a presidential elec. tion. Naturally he met with all sorts and con. ditions of men, and reminiscences of prominent political personages car of fail to prove in- teresting. Not the least interesting portion of the book is the collection of illustrations by the Author, many of which were made especially for it.
Mr Albert Chevalier's Autobiography "Before I Forget: The Autobiography of a Chevalier d'industrie" has just been published by Mr Fisher Unwin in his Colonial Library. The occasion on which he had supper with Mr. Kipling, when the latter recited a poem, which he had just written, is typical of the many like stories he tells. Mr Chevalier starts his exper iences from his sixth year, describes his early struggles, and unfolds the fascinating story of his career. Among the great events of his, life he classes foremost his tour in America, which has left on him the great impression Melchers (3 telegrams). auch tours seem to have left on all lecturers
and entertainers. His travels in the Prov

NAVAL NEEDS.
• We have received from Capt. G. C. Anderon, Hon. Sec. of the local branch of the Navy League, the following leaflet, which, he informs us, has been drawn up by the League with the assistance.and.concurrence of very bigh Naval
authorities
1
The Navy League is working for the creation and maintenance of a Fleet for Great Britain, of which there shall be no doubt or suspicion a to its ability to contend successfully against a combination of any two other Powers.
Such a result would secure us from invasion, preserve our Colonies, and prevent any serious
loss of commerce,
To achieve this we must be able to confine the enemy's warships in their harbours, or beat them if they come out. This necessitates an offensive policy.
BATTLESHIPS..
To carty out such a policy successfully, and maintain adequate squadrons off the enemy's coasts, we must have a considerable numerical 'superiority to allow for periodical refit, coaling, etc. France and Russia will have-when their
com- present shipbuilding programmes are pleied-71 battleships and effective coast. defence iron-clads.
To confine such a force to its own ports, or
to beat it if it comes out, would demand the employment of go battleships. We have only 69 capable of such service, and of these 10 are armed with muzzle-loading guns. We require therefore, a more battleships. Individually, jarger vessels will not compensate for insuffici ent numbers; a 15,000 ton British battleship has nor a more powerful armament than a 13,000 ton French or Russianship. Nor can we count upaa reinforcing our line of battle when war commences by laying down and rapidly com pleting new battleships as we did in the past. The old two deckers could be built and sent to sea within twelve months. The modern ironclad requires from two to three years. Nor can we hope to add many captures to our own side as of old, for the next war will probably see faw battleships taken. It not sunk, any captured will not probably be serviceable dur- ing the war. Lastly, the battleship cannot be improvised from our Mercantile Marine, We must enter upon war with our margin of superiority assured at the outset,
CRUISERS, ...
If our go battleships are divided into squad- rons of varying strength according to the, service allatted to them, we may assume they should have attached for scouting and despatch duties at least 50 cruisers. For guarding ocean routes and protecting commerce a high authority has said we should require 186 cruisers-total 236. Our present programme will provide us with 160, and, allowing that these could be supplemented by 30 fast vessels from the Marcanitle Marine, it follows that we require-46 more cruisers to preserve our com-
merce.
TORPEDO BOAT DENTROYERS, The destroyer has been devised to meet the torpedo boats. France and Russia have 300 torpedo boats, to which we should show 150 destroyers. Our present programme provides for 150. We therefore require 30 mora of a type suitable for service in the Atlantle, Mediterranean, or Baltic.
MANNINGA
The increase in the standing force of seamen and marines during the last ten years is such, that with the reserves we should be able to commission all effective ships at the outbreak of war
Dur remaining reserva is, however, insufficient to replace casualties and maintain, a supply of seamen during hostilities. It is, desirable therefore that, the Reserve should be largely
increased, utilising all the resources of the Empire

are full of interest. Many cur- inces too
befallen him ious incidents have the platform and off; he has encountered strange people and received many weird com- munications. It is carious to note that though Mr. Chevalier has been interviewed so often many of his best stories and experiences have never yet been told. They came back to him he says as he wrote his book and they will be found duly 'inscribed in its pages. The volume is illustrated from photographs, many of which representing the author in his famous characters, have been specially taken for the book.
"The Mating of a Dove," Mrs. Mary E. Mann's novel has just been published in Mr. Fisher Unwin's Colonial Library. The story opens with the marriage of the older daughter, of the widow of a certain Captain Dove, to the youthful curate of the place in which they reside. With the subsequent history of that: marriage the book largely concerns itself, also. describing the matrimonial prospects of Amy, the second Miss Dove, whose mating" gives the novel its title. We are shown how she chose a mate, how one was chosen for her, and how in the sequel she is unmated still. The pay chological interest of the story centres in the contrasting temperaments of the two sisters.
CANAL TREATY.
THE TERMS OF THE BRITISH-AMERICAN
TREATY.
The text of the Hay-Paunçeforte, treaty has been officially published at Washington.
