sembles sen-water in chemical composition and that approximates in temperature to that of the ocean when life first appeared in it. We quoto from a review in the Revue Scientifique (Juno 4) as follows:-

The primordial origin of all living beings must be regarded as marine, whether we consider marine creature aerial creatures, or aerial creatures that live become marine; because the first living being was a cell, and the medium n which a cell exists must be marine. In fact, embryologically the first stages of development, starting from the initial egg, imply a primitive marine medium, because the study of the respiratory apparatus shows that these correspond to an aquatic life or are derived embryologically from ustic forms, Finally the primitive medium must have been marine because fresh waters belong geologically to an epoch later than the appearance of life, and especially because all the typical re- presentatives of each unitnal group, even ; hose that include fresh-water species, are found in ses-water, and thero only.

On the other hand, this original marine melium is found As a vital medium

'I confess that the absolute fixity of the power of raising temperature seems to me quite contrary to the known facts regarding adaptation to the environment, and, on the other hand, corresponds badly with the reaction of mammals, who succeed in main- taining a constant temperature that is not 44°, whatever may be that of the surround- ing medium; and with the fact that the exterior temperature of 44" does not appear to be the best for man, while an interior temperature of this amount usually causes The author promises death in fever cases. us a work on this queation later.'

when Captain E. J. Pago of the steamer Kingking proceeded against Captain Bell Smith of the Wingchai for not observing the rules and regulations of the road for the prevention of collisions at sea,

Mr J. Hays, of Messrs Johnson, Stokes, and Master, appeared for the complainant, and Mr E. J. Grist, of Messrs Wilkinson and Grist, was for the defendant. The plainant, were that the two steamers, which facts of the case, as set out by the com- were usually engaged running between Hongkong and Canton, ran xcursions to Macao on Sundays. On Sunday, Septem- ber, 4, the Wingchai left Macao first on the return journey, and was followed, about twelve minutes, by the Yingking. When the steamers had beep out about three hours and the Yingking was about two miles off Green Island light, the occurrence took place which formed the substance of the complaint. The Wingchai was on the port side of the opposition steamer and the two vessels were between three and four hundred yards apart. The Yingling, which is the fastest boat of the two, was over- taking the IVingchai, and Captain Page blow 猛 short blast on his whistle to indicate that he intended to pass on the starboard side. Immediately after this signal the Wingchat ported her helm and came across the Yingking's bow. That necessitated Captain Page also porting his helm and slowing down. The Wingchai then starboarded her helm and held on her original course, and the Yingking did likewise and continued going slow until the Wingchai was well inside of Sulphur Chan- pal. Captain Page considered that a ser- ious collision would have occurred if he had not altered his course and slowed

down.

In defence Captain Smith said that he did not lose sight of the lingking, which was astern, from the time that they left Macao till Hongkong was reached. When about two miles of Green Island he was stearing a course right for the centre of Sulphur Channal, and never altered his course. He heard a blast blown on the Yingling's whistle, but did not alter his course or his speed in consequence,He continued at full speed the whole way. When coming into Hongkong from Macao he always entered by the Southern Channel and the Yingking always come up the Central Channel, He took the blast to

Patti's Opinion

of the

APOLLO

Piano Player

"Its playing every individual note of the Piano makes it, with- out doubt, the most wonderful and perfect Piano Player.”

A Piano has a range of 85 notes --so has the Apollo. Other play- ers leave one-third of the Piano #selesa.
