semble to expect that, strengthened with larger Capital, the present undertaking cannot fail to prove at least as auccessful as the former one. The Old Company, whew it entered the field, had to create a business for itself, but the New one, in. over the entstanding risks and con- notions of the Old Company will at onge taking receive a very large amount of premium, and enter on a profitable and organised business. Moreover, there is no doubt that the risk of Fire in Hongkong has been greatly diminished by the Building Regula tions now in force, and by the establishmont of a Fire Brigade.

The following are the main features of the New Company:-

To draw broadly the difference betweću the "reading" of a first class news- paper or of large publishing houses at homo, and similar institutions in the colonies or out of the way localities, we may observé that every book passes in the former case through the hands of several "proof-readers, as many as six being employed in succession on any important work, such as the Bible for instance. Theso persons, to whom "read- ing" for the press is the occupation of their lives, are able to conduct their work ed with copious works of reference, and convenient and isolated rooms furnish-

are never permitted to be disturbed by trifling interruptions whilst so cniployed. On the large papers a similar course is pursued, three or four readers being usually employed before the final "re- vises! are submitted to the editor to whose departiment they belong; (eight editors is, we believe, the Times staff, For Singapore, Penang and Calcutta-the Editor" so called being Editor-in- Per Arration Apear, on Thursday, the Chief).

And yet despite all this care errors will creep into even the best- revised journals! A writer in a home magazine says "There are good many people who think proof-reading one of the easiest things in the world, and who get very impatient over mis- takes in books and nowspapers, and proceeds to give some details which are somewhat remarkablo. Few people would credit the fact that there actually exists a modern edition of the Bible with 6,000 (six thousand) mistakes! Yet such is the case.
