THE BALTIC-BLACK SEA CANAL.
LONDON, March and.
It is reported at Odessa that an Anglo-Rup sian syndicate has been formed to construct the canal from the Baltic to the Black Sea, which is to be large enough to admit of the passage of the heaviest warships.
The work will chiefly consist in dredging the existing river channels..
The island of which Sinagpore is the capital is called by the same name (says the Windsor fagine). It has an area of 205 square miles, and is separated from the mainland by a strait only half a mile wide at its narrowest. The shipping that once warked its way through this channel is dread of the fierce Malay pirates, who hauntel its mangrove-bound shores, now crowd the broad Strait of Singapore further south, and into the spacious haven before the Lion City. So safe is it that it can be approached by three different channels without the aid of a pilot. The narrow entrance is guarded by small islands, burdened with riotous vegetation of the most vivid green, President Roosevelt's commission appoint- One, perhaps, is the home of chattering cd in October last, to investigate the dis- monkeys; another shel ers & Malay village, astrous Coal-Strike in Pennsylvania, has with its umbrella-shaped his built on plat decided in favour of the mun, practically on forms above the wat r; yet another reveals the all points, awarding an increase of wages and grin cutlines of a great gun and breastworks. ather concessions.

In February, 1897, the Russian General, Ar. menkoff, consulted two French engineers, M. M. Bourdeb and Cotard, on the question of a canal between the two
Beas. Various schemes were proposed, but the matter dropped. In 1895 it was revived, and a scheme adopted, of which the following are the leading fer- rures: The route proposed is from the Gulf of Riga, along the rivers Duna, Beresina, and Dnieper, to Kherson, on the Black Sea, the len. th being 994 miles. The channels of the river would be deepened, and new cuttings made where necessity, so as to give a depth of 28ft. of water, the estimated cost being 20 millions sterling, and the time of con- struction five years. While the primary object of the canal is to connect the naval dockyards at fibau in the north with those of Nikalief in
would be commercially successful, as it would develop a very rich tract of country. There is already communication between the two seas, practicable for rafts and small vessels, by this route, and also to the Black Sea, near Memel, by means of the Dnieper, the Oginsky Canal and the Niemen. The Duna, which empties into the Gulf of Riga, is generally closed by ice from November to April, and the Dnieper, which discharges through nine mouths into the Black Sea, is closed from January to March. The upper portion of the latter river passes through marshy forests, and it is here that some of the greatest difficulties in the way of the scheme are expected to arise; while co miles from the debouchure are a series of nine rapids, extending over 40 miles, with a total fal! of 107 ft. In June, 1900, it was announced that the construction or the waterway "for large vessels of the navy was considered "impracticable at present."

The Western Lods Company whose main shaft is in the town of Raub bave just started crushing operations, the results, of which are anxiously. awaited. This Company has been at work about two years but has been sadly handicapped through lack of efficient pumping machinery, Their water-flow is extremely heavy and they have not been able to prospect their ground to any depth. The Malaysian Company at Bukit Malacca are the latest gold producers on this field. They are crushing with a Huntingdon mary mill. But it is difficult to obtain in- formation concerning their operations as they are a home company. The same company are on the eve of opening up a large hydraulic clevating claim at Tanjong Besar.
Their results and methods will be an object lesson for tin sluicers in the Peninsula, for up to date, working results are not all that could be desired. Fortunately for the shareholders they generally have good ground to work. None of the sluicing claims are working up to their estimated head, generally owing to faulty pipe lines. The methods of recovering the mineral seems primitive as in the majority of cases this

THE “MARIE -VALERIE"
A despatch has been received at the Foreign Ofe from H. M. Consul at Trieste, reporting that, according to a net fication by the Austrian- Llody's directorite, the steamer Afariz Valerie, which was to sail for Shanghai at the end of January, is the first steamer to undertake direct transport of goods for Shanghai without tran- shipment. Hitherto gonils were only carried direct to Bombay, from whence they were transhipped and sent on the branch line bes tween Bombay and Shanghai. According to the new itinerary of the Austrian-Lloyd's to the Far East, which came into force on 1st January, the subsidiary line has been sup- pressed, and a new direct connection between Trieste and Shanghai has been introduc d.

The present sixteen days' journey from London to Shanghai is made at the very moderate rate of twenty miles an hour. M. de Passek, the Imperial Consul- General for Russia in Australasia, however, assured a deputation that as Russia was resolved to spare no effort to make the Siberian Railway the main highway between the West and the East, the line would be brought up to the European standard of speed at the earliest possible time. According to announcements, the line to Part Arthur will be opened for direct traffic with European rail ways early in this year. A passage between Australia can be made by a vessel possessing Port Arthur and Port Darwin in the north of the speed of the ordinary trans-Atlantic boa's in six days, and as it is more than probable that within a shot time, passengers leaving London will be able-travelling at the very moderate speed of forty miles an hour-to reach Port Arthur within eight days, the total time occupied in the journey from England to Port Darwin (Australia) will be only 14 days.
