EARTHQUAKES AND DEEP-SEA
CABLES.
Sub-oceanic regions off the coasts of many. countries have been mapped as localities where displays of seismic activity are frequent, and as such must be carefully avoided by the cable engineer. On the east coast of Tapan there are half a dozen of these hotbeds, which it would be quite as simple for a trans-Pacific® cable to avoid, as to cross and court destruc tion, Many years ago it was suggested to link America and Asia by a comparatively. short able between Alaska and the Anadis, Whether this project not regarded an fonsible we do not know, but what we now do know is that the ocean berl, lying to the south of Alasks, is in parts as bad a site for
cable as could be discovered. From time to time, since 1899, it would appear that in this particular region (
Mr. Quang Tam, when spoken to recently by a Sydney Morning Herald reporter, was most enthusiastic in his praise of the diplomacy of Great Britain and Japan, and spoke in ex Caliant terms of the benefit such an Allance would prove to the Chires Empire. Oh, "yes," he said, 'in reply to our mpo ter's interrog ations, "I am in receipt of important despatches from Chos by every mail, and nm kept well in touch with all matters affecting the Chinese Empire" Continuing, he said that he thought there was something in the wind" when Japan a little time back protested in such strong terms against the signing of the Man churian agreement with Russia At the same

So Chaucer long ago told us,
"There nys no newe gyse that it nas old;" and perhaps, in view of recent researches, into the aetiology of diseases, the theory propounded by Samuel Foote in his comedy The Devil on Two Sticks" (1768) may have interest. The President of the College of Physicians is de- livering a lecture:

Japaning upon that which is of immediate value to and Great Britain, he believed, would not the public in general. stand idly by and allow any nation to take any advantage of China, because if such was allowed, it would spoil their commercial advan- tages. He also felt sure that as a result of the alliance America would prove China's friend. He considered the alliance was one for the general good and perce. It would prove to be "the stitch in time" he believed, not only in the commercial affairs of the East, but in the saving of many thousands of human lives.

Mr. Tart desired to remain silent but he said that summed up so far as the alliance related to China, it would undoubtedly provent any recurrence of the recent scramble for place amongst some of the Powers there. He thought the alliance would assuredly bring about increased trade relations between the alligd nations and the Commonwealth. Aus- tralin produced much that was needed by Japan. He also was of the opinion that the principal object of the alliance, was to preserve the in- tegrity and to open up the trade of China If that was so he considered it would prove one of the grandest diplomatic achievement of modern times.
