but one ship of the first class-the Oceanic. In the meantime the Germans have launch- ed four ships, three of which have already exceeded the Compania and Lucania in speed by ample margins, and the fourth will probably do so, when completed, in « still more pronounced degree. Four other vessels have also been built-two in Am- erica and two in France; and these, al though they have not outpaced the Cunard
of the Best makes in stock, ships, have excelled the big ship of the White Star line. During the last nine years Great Britain has put on the North Atlantic route three liners of the first class, against four by Germany, two by America, and two by France. It is evident we have not a great deal to boast about, considering we are the country that looked on competi- tion in this field with disdain up to the closing years of the last century. The surprising thing is that the change has all been made in the last four years; so surprising, says Engineering, that we have hardly got our breath again. Perhaps when we do, something may yet be done to regain for us our former pride of place,

it may be said and often has been said- 'shipowners do not build and run costly ships simply to uphold national pride.' Nothing could be truer or more sensible. We may leave to nations with fewer tradi- tions the task of maintaining prestige in this way. Our shipowners run their vessels to make money, which, inter alia, will help to pay for the fleet. Although we have constructed fewer vessels in the front, rank of speed, we have launched from our ship- yards several craft notable in other respects" The Celtic, of the White Star Line, was, when built, a ship of a new type.

able feature in steam navigation. The White Star Line have been the pioneers in this field, their carlier ships, the Bovic and the Cevic, being notable examples; whilst the Samon and Maroa built by Doxford and Sons, are also worthy of notice. More recently the Cunard Line have taken a prominent part in the introduction of large vessels of moderate speed but with fairly extensive, passenger accommodation, coupl- ed with great cargo capacity. Two pro- minent examples of this class of vessel are the Suxonia and the Ivernia; the for- mer built by John Brown and Colat Clydebank, and the latter by Swan and. Hunter at Wallsend, These ships are each 580 ft. long and G4 ft. wide, and have a displacement between 22,000 and 23,000
tons. It will be remembered that, on 20 trial made by the Admiralty Water- Tube Boiler Committee, the Saxonia's machinery developed 9099 indicated horse- power: Last week another Yossel of the ватре typo the Carpathia— was launched from Mesars Swan and at Hunter's yard for the Cunard Line. She
is 540 ft. long between perpendiculars; 64 ft, 3 in. wide; and 40 ft. 6 in. moulded depth. She is designed for a displacement of 22,100 tons, and is to have a'speed of SUITES, between 15 and 16 knots.

Pain Balm heals bruises, burns and scalda In less time than any other treatment. It is 'antiseptic' that is, it prevents putrefac- tion and by so doing, generally prevents an unsightly scar remaining after the injury is healed. For lame back, lumbago and neu ralgia, Pain Balm has no equal, It has the quality of getting to the right spot. No sufferer from these distressing affections should defer a trial of this remedy. One application gives relief. Try it. For aale by All Dealers; WATKINS Ltd, General Agents.

from her father-in-law. Incompatibility of temper soon developed, and a separation ensued. The third one (Clementine) who is over thirty years of age, is unmarried and is noted for eccentricity. The late Queen led a most unhappy life with Ley- pold, the merry but business-like King of the Belgians, whose dissipations and irre. gularities have given rise to widespread scandals for years past. Latterly they lived apart, and the Queen suffered severe- ly in health, especially from a disorder of the heart which caused terribly distressing attacks similar in many respects to those of aathina. Her exemplary private life stood in strong contrast to that led by her hus band, whose popularity has long sunk considerably. Matters between them had of late gone from bad to worse; and this circumstance, combined with the terrible physical distress occasioned by her malady would seem to indicate that death must have been a deliverance to her.

Ship Captain Murdered.
The Tsingtau correspondent of the N.-O. Daily News wrote on the 20th inst.:
Transfer Books of The Canton Insurance -A tragedy on the high seas happened on the sailing bark, Fred A. Wood, which arrived in this port yesterday with lumber from America. A Japanese had been on- gaged by the captain for the voyage to Tsingtau. Having been reprimanded sev eral times by the captain for laziness, he, one evening, took a big knife, and, hiding in a place which the captain must pass, struck him down with the knife. The wound proved fatal in a few minutes. The captain's wife and children were on board. The bark called at Honolulu, and left the

Mr D. R. Law seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously.
The Chairman, in thanking the members for the honour they had done him, said that to be elected President of the St. Andrew's Society of Hongkong was an honour that fell to the lot of few Scotsmen in the Far East and an honour to be really proud of. In a way it was, the hall mark of the Society. He would do his very best to fulfil their expectations and he again sincerely thanked them (applause).
Mr W. Kidd proposed that Hon. R. Showan be elected to the important post of Vice-President. To a Hongkong audience it would be entirely unnecessary and por- haps invidious to say anything in putting forward such a motion, and he left it with every confidence to the meeting.

I think we may congratulate ourselves that, in comparing our financial position to-day with what it was a year ago, it is practically a case of 'as you were.' St. Andrews's Ball of 1901 passed off with delut, thanks to the untiring efforts of our energetic Hon. Secretary and the members of the various sub committees.

I wish he was with us to-day to personally receive our thanks, and I feel suro you will wish me to record our groat appreciation of his services to the Society.

Mr R. Mitchell seconded. Agreed unanimously.
The Chairman said the next business was to consider how best they could celebrate St. Andrew's Day, and he believed Mr Playfair had something to say on the subject.

Mr R. Mitchell moved as a further amendment that the subscription he $20 and the fee for each additional guest $5. People who wanted to ask their friends would subscribe in order to do su.
The Hon. Secretary pointed out that that was making no alteration on last year. If it could be worked out to produce $5,000, it would be quite satisfactory, but he did not see how it could be done.
Mr Mitchell suggested that perhaps Mr Wood was going on the basis of having 1,200 people present.
