He is careful in point of detail, although it takes more men to accom- plish the same amount of work, as man for pan they are not at all equal to the skilled European. Bat you can place thera against the European for good and thorough workmanship, for they are ex- edingly careful and extraordinarily good in their bandiwork, although they are not riginators, nor are they incentivo. Fur thermere, where I consider the Japaneso fail is in their management, owing to their] lack of practical men and nien of long experience in these departments. AB their superintendence is at the present time Busintrusted to young men who come from Fullthe colleges, and while these men are very in the derer draughtsmen and are perfect in heory, their great lack is in practical ex- perience, a matter which tells very serious-

indeed in the cost of their work. And, l til they train reen to undertake the general management of their works as wi do, they will never in my opinion, compete accessfully with us in our peculiar fields and I fancy that this will not happen for long time to a me. I have not the lightest fear, as I have already intimated, that the Japanese will eventually drive us, commercially, from the seas. Yen see, things are clanging, and very rapidly
