MEXICAN FERMENT.

Investigations as regards schools are warranted immediately in China and Egypt. It is suggested that the Education Department of India should carry out enquiries in the Far East. The report favours" the establishment of British Chambers of Commerce and patriotic societies with public spirited objects, and such institutions as the "Alliance Francais." It does nc recommend subsidising British newspapers, although the latter, well many the Mexican Revolutionists. The mat

·FRENÇA LABOUR UNREST.

A v

LONDON, May 2 May Day in Paris ended without sericus incident. There were about fifty arrests, 35 people being detained. There is complete calm in the provinces. Reports with regards to the railway strike in France are some- what contradictory. The early news indicated a complete fiasco. Subse quently it was stated that only 23,000 out of 45,000 rallwaymen were on duty. The executive of the General Confederation of Labour has summoned a seamen, dockers and miners strike for May 8 support of the railway

PARIS, May 3. The latest Paris police casualties on May 1 were 131, of whom 38 are serious. The railwaymen have hitherto shown little willingness to comply with the orders of the extremists. On Sunday the services were practically normal. The Government has taken most vigorous precantions.. It is possible there will be troubletesday The Under Secretary of Shipping in a proclamation to ships' officers, crews and dockers declares that despite the call of a complete general. strike on May 1, the smallest minority of railwaymen struck, because they understood the movement was purely révolutionary. He expresses his coa- viction that the seamen will refuse to be dragged into a movement the only consequence of which will be to increase the present difficulties and cost of lving.

Mr. Thoms, the railwaymen's kader, speaking at Derby, emphatically condemned the above strike policy and urged the adoption of English methods of warfare, namely fighting fairly and openly. He asked the rallwaymen to distinguish between anarchy and democracy.

MODERN IMPROVEMENTS SIMPLIFY THE PROBLEM.

Now that the Western type of country dwelling house is being adopted in China, by the Chinese as well as by Europeans, any modern invention which permits of electric lighting in a district remote from a city central power station will doubt. less be of interest.

Owners of country houses, in the past, have been compelled to resort to the old type of internal combustion engine, driving a dynamo which is connected to a large battery of storage cells. These large accumulator batteries have been responsible for the great loss in power résulting from the change of one form of energy to another, which made them only about 60 per cent efficient.

A new system, called the "Lister. Bruston" system, manufactured by a British firm, Mesars, R. A. Lister & Company, Ltd., Dursley, England, is operated so simply that one merely switches on the light and the machine does the rest.

:

Without going into close technical details on the subject, it may be said that the installation operates automatically, the engine starting and stopping mechanically, as re- quired by the amount of power used. Thus a set of small accumulatora only, is necessary as the current. is manufactured as required, only a small amount of power being stored to keep a few lights going when the plant is not running, and to supply the energy to set it in motion.

The system can be used for either lighting" or power, or both, and, although only a set of smát -accumulators is used, a lager set can

be installed if desired,

The plant, being self-contained is not secured to the floor, and is easily removable in case of a change of residence. It may be driven with petrol fuel, or coupled up to the town gas system if one is available.

Electric light, with this system in use, requires less attention than acetylene or petrol gas light. It does pot vitiate the air, nor give off poisonous fumes, and, in consequence, is much healthier. There being no smoke it does not spoil decorations. The system supplies electric power, if needed, for any purpose as well as lighten S

The company manufactures several types of the plant, Including one especially adapted to towns, large buildinga, hotels, cinemas and clubs. From the letters of appreciation re- ceived, from owners in all parts of, the world, it would seem an admire able improvement over the old way.. Mr. J. B. Williams, CE the Borg. Long manager for Mesirs, Hory. "Karanjia & Company's Imports, kind- ly gave an Iden of the workings of the Lister Bruston device to one of the China Mall's representatives. He says that the plant is self-governed un fer all loader and is a fool proof.
