In the neighbourhood of London especially, the continuous pumping of enormous quanti.. tios of water from rivers and wells in year- ly reducing the underground water level, and the evidence adduced by Lord Llandaff's Commission shows that, evon under the most favourable circumstances, the local supplies will not be sufficient after, at the latest, 1940. Already many of the larger provincial towns have been obliged to, wholly, or in part, abandon their local sources of supply and procure their water from a distance. Thus, Glas- the Highlands, Manchester from Thirlmere, gow draws its supply from Loch Katrine in

If, however, our population- and manufactures continue to increase; and our rivers to be polluted, there is more than a possibility that the problems to be faced by water engineers in the future will be increasingly difficult of solution; and that the time may come when even High- land Lochs and Welsh Lakes will be ex hausted as available sources of supply. In view of all this, the need for proper economy in the administration and use of water becomes evident. It is notorious that there is a deplorable absence of

NORTH-WEST YUNNAN.

Suggestions for Traders. An interesting Report, abounding in geographical and ethnological information about a little known portion of China in the upper region of the Mekong Rivor, has been issued as a White Paper (China No. 3). It is by Mr Acting Consul Litton, and describes a journey in North and North-West Yünnan which be performed last Winter. Summing up his impressions for the benefit of the trader, Mr Litton says that Yüunsh is out of the great current of China trade. But the part of Yünnan which can be served by our Burmah route is much moro populous than that served by the Red River route. Now that Teng Yueh is an open port' under Sir Robort Hart's supervision, there is every reason to- hope for a great expansion of trade. We quote the following from the series of

uggestion":-

The most urgent need of Teng Yueh trade is an export product to give in return for Indian yarn and cotton goods. - The importance of Yunnan as a possible field of supply for ponies and mules should not be lost sight of. I am inclined to think a European firm might establish itself with advantage at Teng Yueh. The trade would not bear a large and expensive European staff; what is wanted is rather some ne of energy and tact who would be content

new

to rough it. ciali unes of trade, especially of

trade, which the Chineso, when left to themselves, are exceedingly slow to at- tempt. I strongly recommend the employ pont of Indian, preferably Mohammedan, travelling agents in the interior. Hsia Kuan is a centre of the greatest impor tance to Burmal trade, and I would suggest the establishment of a foreign agency there, under the direction of Chinese, but to be visited from time to time by a European merchant. Among the articles of import which I noted down in the course of my journey as likely to

have an extended market in West Yüunan

are blankets, cheap clocks and watches, wirrors, enamelled ironware, cheap rib. bons and laces for trimmings, pocket, knives, padlocks, umbrellas, leather belts, American the stouter cottons, such as drills, cotton prints of a gaudy pattern, Turkey reds, cigarettes, jade, coral, and amber. Among possible exports from Yunnan, ponies and mules, musk, hemp, straw braid, rhubarb, drugs consumed by Chinese, wool and furs from Lichiang, bristles, silk from South West Szechuan, would seem to deserve attention. It must be remembered that upcountry Chinese traders are fond of false-packing and other frauds, and by no means comprehend the. necessity of goods being up to sample. I should be very sorry to offer any advice about mines in the part of Ynnay which my Report deals with. Salt and copper are the mineral products of which I saw most, but they are both in the hands of official monopolists. Until better informed, I venture to doubt whether there are any mines in this part of Yünnan which would pay for the cost of transporting foreign machinery and paying for foreign engineers." When the upper waters of the Irrawadi have been brought under control by Burmah, it might be well to prospect there for nephrite (jado), which will always command a great market in China.' .
