CURIOUS STORY FROM JAVA Capt Wannless, an officer of the English miny, is accused by the Dutch Colonial Government of acting as a spy in Java. His plans and sket- ches of forts were seized, but the officer bin self escaped. Certain circles here consider the action of Capt. Wannless to be part of a British plan to obtain possession of the Dutch Indies, believing that the Anglo-japanese treaty. is intended to aggravate the Dutch situation in the East. As to the foregoing there is no Capt. Wannies in the Army List.-Ed., 1, K.T.
dant pleasures will remain as vivid pictures in the minds of those whose good fortune it was to witness it. We whose misfortune it was to be away from those gorgeous scenes followed with keen interest the every move- ment of our representatives at home and learned with pride, although it was never to be doubled, that each man had conducted himself worthy the best traditions of the A. S. WATSON & Co., Colony. In fact, almost the first words of Sir ileary Make in addressing the Coronation Contingent yesterday morning was an allusion to the individual conduct of those we sent so many miles away. But while we thank our soldier sons for their duties at home-we must not forget the generosity of the various firms in the Colony who so readily granted lease and, as Sir Henry observed, borc so patiently the prolonged absence of their employees. Consequently, much as it is to be desired.one cannot count too much on further favours in connection with leave for the ensuing camp week, but considering the change that has recently been made in the constitution of the Volunteer Corps we trust that all will make an effort to go under canvas for at least the greater part of the time. The honour extended to the Corps by selecting its members to represent the Colony on such an important occasion for the Empire as the Coronation of its King should give an impetus to the numerical strength of the work whichistrould be conducive to a thorough the large mail steamers will be dac to-day and elliciency of every member.

FROM TREES TO NEWSPAPERS:-A trial was recently made in Austria to decide in how shon a space of time living trees could be converted into newspapers. At 7.35 in the morning three trees were sawn down ; at 934 the wood, having been stripped of birk, cut up, and converted into pulp, became paper, and passed from the factory to the press, whence the first printed and folded copy was issued at ten o'clock.

COMMONWEALTH BANK In a recent issue of the Birmingham Post appears the following:-I have excellent authority for stating that an understanding has been come to during the sojourn in London gf Sir E. Barton and various other Australian statesmes, with a view to the establishment of a Common wealth Bank, which will occupy practically the same position in Australia as the Bank of England does here. The present idea is for the amalgamation of several of the leading banks, and most of the details have yet to be
settled.
Mr. Gray observed that it had been suggested by a few gentlemen that there should be some sort of Shield competition in connection with the Club on the same lines as that promoted regiments on this and the Kowloon side who bad teams and there would be plenty of ships here before long. A Shield competition would stimulate interest in the game and if they could get subscriptions he did not see why it should not be set on foot. He would leave the matter to the discretion of the Committee.
The Chairman thought that the better course would be for somebody to propose that the Committee make arrangements for some such competition, if it were feasible.
Mr. Chater moved accordingly. Mr. Dow. seconded and the motion was agreed to.

CHINA'S "BLANK HOPELESSNESS": Sir Richard Temple has defined the national characteristic of each of the three great Oriental nations as follows: India views atatters with calm indifference. Japan with ambitious patriotism. China with blank hopelessness." A Shanghai journal thinks that the "black hopelessness" of China, however, is not very apparent to a foreign resident in the country, Chinese display anything but "blank hopeless. ness." la fact they are far more cute, and know better how to amass wealth than either the European, Indian, or Japanese, ELECTRIC STORMS AT SEA: The Kosmos liner Cambyses, which has arrived at San Diego from Hamburg, via the West Const of South and Central America, reports that while running the tropics she was in many electric storms which lighted up the heavens.
