There were also gold, coal and sulphur in the island. Rice, sugar, salt and gold were produced chiefly in the southern part of the island, and the others
in the northern districts.
It is just nine years since Japan acquired the island, and he had been at the head of the administration for five years, from 1890. He had done everything he could to turn the island into a self-supporting "state, 80- that it could exist without the aid of the state treasury by the time the subsidy was withdrawn in 1908. Salt was formerly a Government monopoly under Chinese Tegime, but this restriction, was now WIRE removed.

The Chinese Government, had made many attempts to accomplish this, but had failed owing to the opposition of the for- eigners into whose hands the business had falled. The amount of sugar produced varied between 129,00,000 cattes and 70,000,000 cattes.

QUEEN'S HOTEL, WEIHAIWEI.
SANITARIUM OF NORTH CHINA.
SUMMER SEASON OF 1903.
THERE are (60) sixty bedrooms all with bathrooms attached.
A new Bar and Billiard-room, as well as a Concert Room, are contected with the Hotel and there is ample room for Dancing.
The Hotel is beautifully situated on a high hill and commands a full view over the mainland, the Bay, and the Island.
Weihaiwei is noted for its scenery, healthy and cool dimate during the Summer. There are several fine bathing beaches, good walks, and there is also good fishing to be had in the Bay.
Intending visitors are advised to secure their rooms either by wire, or letter, so influenza, that they can be reserved.
Their effect as a tonic no doubt had much to do with Mr Leo Vincent's remark able cure by these pills. They are noted, however, for their effect. on all chest complaints and colds. No one can afford to neglect a cold. Bleak airs and exposure do not cause influenza or rheumatisim ; but if the system is not strong they lay it open to attack. Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people fortify the system against colds, Inonchitis. rheumatism. All who are exposed should take them. By giving new blood, thuse pills, which may be had from most European chomists and drug stores, direct- ly cure anemia, eczema, kidney disease, consumption and the ailments which women endure in silence, pains in the back, weakness, and recurrent misery. They are not purgative, but on the contrary strengthening. Their effect in the case of Mr Leo. Vincont, whom they have restored to the scene of his Ventriloquial Triumphs, is typical of what they ac complish in other instances.

LONDON LETTER.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
LONDON, May 29. Scandal and War Office are unhap pily too often linked together, but the action of the authorities in allowing or rather not taking the necessary steps to prevent, the sale of blankets which had been used by typhoid patients to the general public has met with very strong and universal condemnation: It is so easy to say the regulations provide that such blankets should be destroyed or torn into four pieces, but then it is the duty of the responsible officials to sel that these strictures are carried and this they have lamentably failed to do. The outbreak of enteric on the training ship Cornwall led to an inves tigation, when it was discovered thit many of the blankets used by the lads were absolutely filthy, and that they

Hongkong Tides.
The tide table given below has been compiled at the Nautical Almanac Office in London from the result of the analysis of observations taken by means of an au tomitic tide recording machine in the Wa- ter Police Basin at Tsim Sha Tsui during the years 1887-8-9.
The zero of the table corresponds with the zero of the soundings in the Admiralty Charts which has been found to be 4 feet 3 inches below mean sea level,
To obtain the depth of water on the tide gauge at the Victoria Naval Yard add 3 feet 4 inches, and on the gauge at Lamont Dock, Aberdeen, add 10 feet 6 inches to the height given in the table.
