progress any he summed up as follows: Prior to 1884 the gaximum draught o ship permitted in the canal was 24 ft. 6in.; in 1901, 25 ft. 7 in.; in 1800, 27 ft.; and in 1909 it may be 30 ft. There have been corresponding improvements in widthr and curves. The increased dimensions of ships using the canal is indicative of the fact thub owners are ready to avail thum-alves of improred facilities. When, in the future, vessels drawing 30 ft. aud over will be permitted to navigate the canal, such ships will undeabteilly pse the waterway in increasing numbers. Many of the ports in the Far East are already, adapted for vessels of this type. —“ Engineering."

COINS AND CHARACTER.

According to the "Jhang Siyal," au j Urdu weekly paper published in the Punjabi | Colonies, the following is the way people interpret the appearance of the new nickel aana coin: The old white coins were of superior metal and round and smooth.! in shapes. They typified the old character of British rule. The new coinage is rough round the edge and uneren; it is besides of baser metal than silver, which forehodes a deterioration in the character of the Governmicat and its increasing harshness,"
