Mr. McKewan, speaking as a naval constructor, remarked upon the interesting fact that the ram" which was only obsolete within this century, was first used by the Greeks and also comment ed on the fact that there was in the harbour at the present moment a scientific application of a process which was in use as a rule of thumb method in the seventeenth century, viz., that of "girdling," an example of which was to be seen in the "Hermes" for the purpose of allowing for the superstructure.

A WEEK'S PAPERS ÎN ONE.

OVERLAND CHINA MAIL

HONG KONG'S BOYCOTT BUDGET.

"This week's issue of the "Overland China Mail" contains

the full reports of the Budget proceedings in the Legislative Council.

Relatives and friends or business connections abroad, who may have "wondered as to the effect of the Boycott- with regard to the fables about Hong Kong having become bankrupt will be agreeably surprised when they read that the Colony's finances are still sound.

The 1927 Supply Bill speech of the Colonial Secretary is an excellent review; while the appeal of Sir Cecil Clementi for closer relationship with the Chinese merits the highest praise.

OUR TRADE IMPROVES.

That fund of information provided weekly is enhanced in value, by the inclusion of the many reports about trade re- sumption following the cessation of the blockade. Stage by stage, the daily reports-all reproduced in the "Overland" tell how conditions are returning to normal.

NEW ANTI-BRITISH AGITATION.

Then there are also the many despatches concerning anti-British agitation in ports along the Yangtse and in other parts of North China. Footnotes are appended to cables, so that non-Chinese can understand. Also the list of British homes looted in Chungking, tells a vivid story

LOCAL NEWS OF THE WEEK.

As is the case every week, all the local and Chinese news is included, making a detailed record which conveys more than a series of personal letters. The current issue has:--Troop- ing the Colour" articles; China War intelligence; cartoons "short sleeve" controversy; local and social notes; &c. &c.

A copy is particularly welcome to folks at Home who are thirsting for information about China and Hong Kong.

READY TO-DAY, Homeward Mail closes on Saturday at 2.30 p.ms and the Siberian mail at 5 p.m.
