THE F, AND O. Co.'s GODOWAS ON FIRE.”
The screw steamer Salisbury, which has been built by the Tyne Iron shipbuilding Company, has made her trial trip off the 8 Northumberland Coast. She is 287 feet in length, 34 6 feet in depth of hald. Her engines are of 86 and 64 inches diameter of gylinder, with 2-inch stroke, and have been constructed by the North-Eastern Marine Engineering Company, Sunderland, The vessel was taken along the measured mile in Whitley Bay, and afterwards to Newbiggin. The ongines worked without ach, and the mean speed attained on the test was 11 knots. She is intended for the East Indian and Ohlas trade.
One of the godowns belonging to the P. & O. Company caught fire last evening about "half past 7 o'clock. The alarm was given about quarter to B, and the various fire Sta tions were at once communicated with. The engines belonging to the Government and Volunteer Fire Brigades, the Fire Insurance Co.'s engine, and several band engines belonging to Chinese were got to work as quickly as possible, and shortly after 8 o'clock immense volumes of water were being thrown upon the burning building. A flight of stone steps outside the build- ing, which leads to the upper floor on the northern side, was found very convenient, and two or three streams of water were brought to bear upon the flames in this diroe tion, whilst others were directed both over and under the part of the building in which the fire was raging. About 20 minutes to 9 o'clock the devouring element had made an outlet through the roof and the flames boat. shot into the air, creating a glare which could be seen for a considerable distance.

PUNKAHS IN BARRACKS, With the view of obtaining practical this subject, committees opinion on were formed at each station in the Bea gal Presidency, generally consisting of the question was raised, and an officer of officers of the troops, for whose beneat the Royal Engineers. In many cases the committee reported the existing system of working punkahs to be quite satisfactory. The chief fault found by the committees iny in the connection of the punkahs by ropes
which," to quote one report, are liable to slacken, and cause loss of power in the forward swing; and for want of rigid con.. nection the impetus which would be con veyed by the height of the forward to the backward punkahs of each train is quite cat in the backward swing." To remedy this it was proposed to substitute bara of wood for the ropes, and this has been carried out in many barracks; yet this was no sooner carried out in accordance with the recommendations the Committee at the Dalhousie Barrack in Fort William than, although the punkana rigidly oon. acted worked with a steady swing, the men did not appear to like it so much as the old jerking motion.
