The Progress of the Revolt. As will be seen in another. column in this issue, the latest: news from the North is to the. effect that, though the Southerners have received a serious setback in various places in Kiangen they are still very troublesome in that province. Having being driven off from the Arsenal they appear to have entered upon a maraud- ing escapade in the neighbour- hood of Shanghai native city, where it is reported that they have held up a well-known Chinese printing business named the Commercial Prose. Full de tails are not yet to hand; but it appears that the Southerners took possession and, as a guarantee that the building would not be destroyed, they demanded several lakhs of dollace. The manager of the concern, a foreigner, im- mediately communicated with his Consul with the result that volunteer artillery and maxims were despatched to assist in turn ing off the Southerners, whose action would seem to indicata a serious lack of funds.
South China Morning Post.
Will They Fight ? With regard to Ohan Kwing Ming, he has gathered his forces around him in Canton and is confident that they will "ght for him to the death." Equally matched against the well-equip ped, disciplined and thoroughly drilled forces of the north, the Cantonese soldiers could not at their best be depended upon to make much of a show. There are said to be over fifty thousand soldiers in and around Canton at present and numbers would tell in such a fight as will undoubted- ly take place if they remain loyal to the Governor General. Chan Kwing Ming's soldiers have the temporary double advantage of

the other way, and many more years would elapse before a just haladce would be attained. There are, too, secondary de feets in China's educational
system-defects of men, meth ods, and machinery-which we need not point out in detail. They will right themselves in time-no people can devote themselves to education without educating themselves, and with a growing. proportion of educated people in the land anything eavouring of inefficiency in the educational field will be less and less tolerated. Of China's zeal for educational progress there can be no question, and this alone would justify all our hopes for her future.
Motor Lifeboat Starts from
Sandy Beach, Vog
A lifeboat must often be lann. ched from a sandy beach sloping into shallow water, through breakers' rapidly following one another, and it is this kind of a start that worries life-saving men. The motor life-boat shown in an illustration in Popular Me ohanics Magazine," with its propeller working in a tunnel, will, it is said, start under its own power from the beach in heavy surf and can return safely to shore under the same con. ditions. It is self-righting and self-bailing. The bilge keels koop the boat upright on the bench. The tunnel, starting just behind the faidahip section, protects the propeller and allows a greatly. reduced draught.
