bough at present there is not quite an -ounce in the market, but Sir William Ramsay tells an astonishing story of a firm working at uranium ore, and in the course of their experiments dump- ing quantities of radium into the dustbin, of course in very excusable ignorance of its pripeless properties and the mysterious Alpha, Beta and Gamma rays. A scientist at Nancy gives the name of N-rays to irradiations from the human body, sufficiently powerful to penetrate aluminium,

By a crushing majority of 22 to 4 the Transvaal Legislative Council has ap proved of the introduction of Chinese labour on the Kand. The mines want it and cannot, they say, possibly pay without it. Speculators in the jungle here want it, for you cannot play bull and bear for ever with stocks that yield no dividends, and now Louis Botha, its representative opponent, admits that the Boers want it too, to release the Kafir for their agricultural work. It is only remarkable, in all these circum. stances, that they should be willing to

begin with so small a consignment as the ten thousand they name as the first trial order. Bat after all, Mrs Glasse's advice applies to other matters besides the cooking of hares.

This is the season of influenza, and a handsome reward awaits the man who shall discover an officient preventative or remedy for the scourge. A well- known Hongkong medico who made a deep study of the disease, told me in eigh- teen ninety-six the best remedy. Here it is. Go to bed. There get drunk on Scotch Wisky. Stay in bed and stay drunk till the influenza has departed. The cure is absolutely indisputable, and any who may have died under the treat- ment have died cured.

THE TIEN-TSIN MAILS.

The Tientsin correspondent of the Stand- and wrote on the 1st of December :-The past month has not brought any change in the outward mails from home. My cable message of last montli was based upon a notification received from the Postmaster General in London, that from the 3rd of November an English bag for letters and postcards would be despatched vid Siberia daily, and sent to Chefoo and Shanghai. So far as Tientsin and Pekin aro concern. ed, they might just as well go to the moon Suez. Communication or come round

with Chefon, at all times doubtful, in the Winter ceases. altogether. If the postal authorities at home will only realise that the Siberian Railway passes through Tien tain to Pekin, and that mail bags from Europe are arriving here every day from all other quarters but England, the absur- dity of taking the bags off the train at Dalny and sending them to Chefoo will be appar- ent. This, however, is all that we can un- dorstand from the notification, and up to the present British subjects only receive such desultory letters as by some means get enclosed in the Russian bags, and come to the Russian Post-office here. The German residents are not only getting their corres. pondence in their own scaled bags arriving here daily, but they are receiving the Lon- don daily papers three and four weeks ahead of us, and last wook they were reading English papers of November 4. At the time we were thankfully receiving ours of October 15. This would be funny if it was not exasperating. The result is that British residents who have for ten or twenty years ordered their papers and magazines out from Mudie's are now placing their orders with the German Post-office, which undertaken to pass them on to newsagents in Berlin who receive the London papers daily, and will transmit them direct, viâ Siberia. Eng. lieh readors, therefore, are being driven to get their papers through foreign hands simply and solely because the authorities in London are too apathetic, apparently, to rise to the occasion.

of secure the serviccA to J. Lewis Byrne, M.A., who in Great Britain; Canada and Australia had gamed tuuch experience and success in educational work. Such a staff of teachers seems to be out of all proportion to the numbers. of scholars attending classes, but two con- siderations must be kept in view: First, though the pupils attending at one time through the year have never exceeded thirty-five, their standards of proficiency have varied greatly from the beginning: and, secondly, we have been working not for this year alone but for the future. Meanwhile, students have enjoyed the benefit of small classes and additional individual attention. To students them selves there are two points I wish to em phasize to-day. English in undoubtedly the best language for you to learn and the most useful. But it is not the casiest.

especially for the most sympathetic manner in which the Prize Fund has been raised. How to obtain suitable prizes was a harder task to face than getting the money for their purchase. We decided, however, not givo jewellery, but to follow the English custom of presenting books, and we have made the best selection possible from the limited supply to be found in Hongkong, Ench reward represents a large amount of steady work on the part of the recipient and is a cuarantee of progress, the pride of place having been decided by the weekly and the final examinations. The number of successful competitors has been lessened through the absence of some who found the attractions of the approaching New Year too powerful to withstand. We are sure that those cholars who have remained for Speech Day will enjoy their holiday all the more for having done their duty nobly to the last.

Mr Barnett explained that the Dux prize had been awarded for the final examination of cleven subjects. The winner was TRO See Hon, whose average for the whole number of subjects was 79.5.
