AT THE PEAK:
LLOYD'S AND WHAT IT
MEANS:
The Commercial Intelligence, of London, contains an interesting interview with Sir febry* Hozier, secretary of Lloyd's, in which he details the history of the establishment)
Like most great and enduring enterprises Lloyd's had a small beginning. It is now to the world of shipping and marine in- sorance what the house of Rothschild is to the banking world.
Lloyd's dates from the latter part of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and had its ori- gin iu a small coffeehouse in Tower Street, kept by Edward Lloyd. He was an enter prising man, and through his business con tact with seafaring men and merchants enlisted in foreign trade, foresaw the im portance of improving shipping and the method of marine insurance.He was the founder of the system of maritime and com- mercial intelligence which has been develo- ped into its prosent offectiveness. Before the time of Edward Lloyd maritime insu-- rance in England was conducted by the Lombards, some
who founded Lombard Street, but aftur Lloyd embarked in the business Britons conducted marine insurance in London.
The subject of marine insurance are the
1376 ship, the cargo, and the freight, all of which may belong to different parties. In time of war there is what is termed the maritimo risk—danger from accident, col- lision, and stranding which is distinctly separate from the risk of capture and sei- zure by an enemy. This class of marine insurance had its inception in the conditions arising during the seven-years Frenche English war of 1757 to 1763.

THE INDUSTRIES OF HONGKONG
BRICK, TILE, AND PIPE
MAKING.
Between a hill of clay and a palatial building there is a vast differeuen, yet to transform the former into the latter needs no magician's wand, The process is gradual, but none the less sure, and daily the metamorphosis goes on. The agency whereby this transformation is offected is one of the triumphs of modern ingenuity
over the forces of nature. At Deep Water Bay the work is going on, and while on a visit our representative was brought face to face with the process at the Pipe, Tile and Brick Works, owned by the Green Island Coment. Company. The works certainly are intercating, if only for tho economical manner in which they are conducted. "Every machine, and there are many, not only has its own particularly and individual use, but is often combined with other machines and made to perform dual dution. Even the exhaust steam from the boilers, usually allowed to escape, is brought into requisition and made to heat the drying rooms, and the fire from one kilo is used over two and even three times. This naturally elects a great say ing in coals and time, and renders the working of the industry more efficient and apeedy,
The position of the works is admirable, They are situated at the western end of Deep Water Bay, just across from Aber deen, and are completely hidden by the hills that tower to the north and south. To the visitor coming from the west no in tination is given of the magnitude of the industry until the plant is inspected. Un. til one is well within the boundaries of the play banks one might well imagine that no such thing as a brick works exists in the neighbourhood.
The buildings composing the works are" substantial, being built of brick, and they cover a large area of ground. They include kilns, drying sheds, offices, boiler and en- gine house, and every thing that appertains to a manufactory of this character.. From the two tall chimneys that rise skywards clouds of smoke issues as the work of burn ing the kilns is proceeded with, but as the place is far removed from any residential quarter there is no complaint to be made regarding the smoke nuisance.
Naturally enough the first and must important ingredient in the making of bricks and tiles is clay, and round about Deep Water Bay there is a plenitude of it, Clay, too, of a suitable nature. There are banks of almost the pure material, such as is necessary for the making of pipes, then there are other banks of clay full of silica, essential for the manufacture of any bricks, pipes or tiles which are afterwards to be subjected to any great degree of heat. Those banks run in wide veins, ten to eighteen feet in depth, and there is suf- ficient clay in the immediate vicinity of the works to meet the demand for many a year to come. The cost of procuring the clay and carrying it to the works is, therefore, very low. Chinese coolias dig it out from the bank, load it into wheelbarrows, and it is whecled across the intervening space
in a few minutes.
Anuly-powderal clay is elevated by means of
a bult, to which buckets aruuttached, to the floor above, where it in automatically thrown into a revolving siete. This is a very inge- nious idea, and originated with the present Superintendent of the works, Mr J. B. Witchell. The sieve is made in the form of a horizontal cylinder and is enclosed in a box to prevent the powdered olay from fly. ing all over the room, which naturally enough is extremely dusty. The end

When the sieve is in operation the crushed clay in from the elevator intu passes the inside of the cylinder and is whirled round and round, the finely ground slay going through the sieve, while the other the gritty remnant-passes back into the hopper and is reground. The process goes on ad infinitum. By gravitation the pow der falls down a shoot to the mixing pan. Here the first Chinese workman is met with. From the time the dry clay is carried to the first pan until it reaches almost the final stage it is not handled by anyone, Mecha- nical contrivances connect each with the other and so the work goes on. The mix. ing pan is in charge of a Chinaman, whose duty it is to see that the requisite consis- tency is maintained, and this is done by the addition of more or less water as required. While in the mixing pan the compound passes beneath two zollers, each weighing

From the mould the clay comes out in the shape of a pipe, but has yet to be burnt, If placed in a kiln at onc and he fires lighted the result would be that, the pipes would crack and break in all directions, owing to the expansion of the water they contain, To obviato this the pipes are placed in a drying shed where they stop until they are ready for the kilns, In the kilns the pipos remain for about 22 days and before glazing they are subjected to a white hoat. Salt and sulphur form the two most important components in the glazing mixture. After going through this process the pipes are ready for use, and

As the names imply the independent kilns are burnt alone and are finished one by one, while the con- tinuous kilns are built close to each-other and the heat from one is carried to the next: This is offected by a well-arranged series of Aude and draughts. The heat after traversing and retraversing the first kiln passes under- ground to the next, where it performs the same duty, thence it goes to the third kiln. By means of dampers the heat can be cut of from any of all of the kilns as desired, or can be utilised by one alone. The say ing in fuel that is effected by this contriv ance is patent to all.

AXATINE is the mildest aperient known. It is pleasant in taste, not drastic but cortain in action and even in large doses is harmless. Lazatine being non-irrit- able will be found a great bood, to ladies especially, and in cases whpro the kidneys are irritable or diseased. Laxatine is strongly recommended by the Continental Authorities and is being largely used in the London hospitals. Messrs A. S. WATSON & Co.

There are only two villages comprising the whole of this curious tribe. Their chief food seems to consist of wild-fowl, fish, sago and marsh plants; water-fowl they catch by diving under them and seizing them by the legs.
