Hoy are all now av employed. There are also hetwoon 200 and 300 Germany, engaged by con- trast to fight any nation except their own. At the outbreak of war the Boglish offesra lant by Our Goprement of course resigned, but this was not understood by the Chinesa who thought they were afraid! They could not understand that it was their duty, so the result is that in Chinese opinion the Gorman, as Laipnou quaintly put it in Yankoo fashion, have got the "juniễn track,” The English comanchin opinion; the Americans are not much liked as a nation, though, sa indi. viduals, they are popular, while France and Rus- | 4 sis are lever objects of suspicion. Bas the ap pointment of Sir Robert Hurt will do much to set the Boglish in the forefront again. Ho is immensely popular with the Chinese, a hard, straight man not over-much liked by his own countryman, but careless of that when doing the right thing, and ho will bring all on rapport again.
Mr. Laiscon, whose service rank oqaala, 10 fur as I can make out, a Dopsty Commissioner (be call it a "prefecture"), is accredited to the British Government at will be scoorpanied by "twe experienced manuales from our Foreiga Oo, kaMr. Ellis. He was called to Shang- bai, thenco desputobed to Singapory ; thonza fó; Chicntia, where he was instranted to proceed to Raval Pindi. At Pindi the beat, knocked him uver for some days, after which he started for Murree and Srinagar where he is now on camped. On leaving this ho proceeds to Ladakk where arrangements are being made for the coatings Anca of his journey.

Ho will LOCKS "ge to Kaaligar and Kuldja and foort co that frontier. The Governor who kotowed to the Rus Bian Conani is an opium eater, and I gather, though J cavuot any exactly, that Jaisoon has some powers to deal with him.
As for returning, be cannot say till he gots his private instructions whether he comes back this way or gues on through Chinn, bat belioves the latter will be the case by either the northern ouravan rökte which is good all the way, and will take him in close proximity to thefrontier Siberlan line; or the southern route through Thibet and Lh. He is prepared for either jourusy.
Laisoon is quite a young man. His fontares are not markedly Chinese, but frank, merry and Intelligent all over. His drass is Europorn.

Mr. Cavamajor has described the peculiar motions of grains of gura camphor whsz placed on the surface of water, and attri buted them to frictional electricity Recently, however, Mr. T. Hart, of Dartford, has shown rostone for regarding this explanation sa in- atoquate. He frds that if a drop of collodien be gently pinnad on the surface of water the woÝ meris which it displays are very nearly identicni with those of lighted camphor. Camphor, when lighted and laid on a piece of fosting pa per, travels in a lucar direction, instead of the irregular paths described by a piece of lighted camphor by itself. Mr. Hart concludes that the camphor, owing to the incoherence of its sub- states and its adhesion to water, tezds to spread itself over the surface, and in doing so the me tiene of the partiolos give rise to motion of the
