Trade on the Upper Yangtsze. It (Wauhsion) is now important distributing centre, being the focal point of trade routes to various parts of the interior of the province and in particular the starting place of the overland route to the provincial capital. It will be many years before its usefulness in this. respect will be affected at all by the railway, and in any case its position at a considerable distance from the railway line ensures that s very large portion of its trade will be absolutely untouched. At present, foreign imperted goods to be distributed from Wanhsion must take out a transit pass at Iobang, but if, as will increasing- ly happen with the growth of steamer traffic, the bulk consign- ment is broken up at Wanhsien for distribution in emailer lots to the various infericr centres, it is no longer possible to protect it by transit pass, and each reparate Ict will be liable to the full tale of likin. With Waabeien open ed, the payment of the bare im- port duty would cover goods thus far, after which the various small- fr lots for distribution would each be conveyed under transit pass and protected from all the verations and excolions of the likin collectorate, and such an improvement in facilities could only result in a larger market and increasing demand for foreign goods,

This is true even in respect to chemistry- soience in certain raspects well suited to the particular national traits of the Teuton; but here, as elsewhere, most of the fundamental con- ceptions were brought forth in other countries. Thus it was Lavoisier who overthrew the phlogiston theory and founded

The doctrine of valency was originated by Frank- land, whilst Germany's principal contribution to chemical theory is associated with the eminently non-Tentonic name of Kekule. In this connection, indeed, it is noteworthy that both Helmholtz furnishing fresh instance of the and Kant were of mixed ancestry, generally accepted Coolrine that similer, races often yiold an crossen between two not too dis astonishingly able progeny.
