Prussic Acid Shells.
Parit January 9-The Zurich correspondent of "La Journal re- pests a rumour according to which the German army is preparing to use new weapons, notably special Foïronges shells, including prassic acid sholle. It is thought that these rumours are not altogether devoid of foundation, because the Swžmu military authorities, have asked the well known "obemist," Dr. Brunner, a captain in the Swiks- army, to make a report apon the effect of these shells, and the means of protection to be adopted against them.?
The Pirates.
A private letter from a town somewhere on the English Wash" brings home very plainly to the understanding that the crews of the Hun' enbmarines are Las much pirates, and nothing else, se the ruffians who exiled under the Jolly Roger. They pretend that they have not time to observs the laws of honourable warfare ar even of humanity but they have deisure to "tile, rob, and plunder.” Unfortunately the complete story cannot be told bat- a merchant ship of one of our Allies wis torpedoed' and its crew sent adrift. They were brought into this town, and later on they learned that though a huge hole had been torn in the side of their on the Marketship the nature of its carga kept
fit afloat, and it came to land id
creek along the coast. When the captain went to examine his vessel he found the Huns had ayatematically stripped it of every- ibing of the slightest value- Exchange.

"The New Subsidiary Coins" was the subject of a current osm- ment in a recent issus of the Eastern Times of Shanghai. The writer questions the popularity of these coins with the merchants and the general community. The new subsidiary ocïns are based pa 1ba decimal systems. Every big dollar can be exchanged for 10 silver dîmes, or vice versa, Bat the authorities forgot to take into their consideration that according to the present market valus a big dollar can be arohangád: for 11 silver diman and: several oopper cents or it can be)erahanged; for more than 130 copper comis: The writer:conalddon that it in doubt« ful. whether the merahanta will accept the new coima except at current exchange ratms.'‚' Nationalising Electric Resources

The bill which has been introduosd suggests the classification of the existing powers into two groups, those under 500 k.w., which have no surplus current to sell, the other group being those posess- sing powers from 500 to 10,000 k.w.
