AN INCIDENT ON THE CANTON RIVER.
No one has ever counted the "boat popula- tion" of the vast Chinese city of Canton, but it is
believed that the people of the city who live in boats number more than two hundred thou sand. As the Hongkong or Macao steamer moves slowly upstream into the city, a stranger on board finds it worth while to stand at the rail and look. For the most part, no shore is to be seen at all. The little one-storeyed, tyle-

How much air did I have? Would it last till somebody might right the boat? I took a second breath. If the boat were righted- that was by no means a certainty, for Chinese do not readily interfere with other people's, business-if it were righted, would it fill and sink, and the mat roof take me down, like the rounded hollow of a man's hand pressed down over a drowning fly?

According to the French experts another, and even more serious, danger exists, for they state that, owing to the waters of the Colony being exceedingly shallow, there is a possibility of the submarine plunging into the soft mud at the bottom and sticking there, as this compound is of an exceedingly viscous nature, The probable results of such a catastrophy are too evidently horrible to require further argument against the use
of the submarine in these waters.

THE King during his recent visit to Aldershot showed great interest in the army reform scheme. It is stated by an officer who was present that this was the one theme of Royal conversation, and that he showed great ac- quaintance with the details of the scheme. He asked Sir John French for information as to the new army districts. The general impres sion left on those who were in intercourse with the King during the visit to Aldershot was that; he was taking a very close and intelligent in- terest in army affairs.
