Mr. William Le Queux is now recognised on all hands us one of the most powerful of living novelists. His remarkablo` abilities and un- usually wide experience have brought him to the forefront, and he has few rivals in popularity with the flation-reading public. Probably the secret of his great hold on public favour is to be found in the cosmopolitan character of his knowledge and the strong imaginativo sympathy which enables him to invest with reality and dramatic intereet widely differing phases of life. He is at home in every country of Europe, and be constructs his plots with amazing cleverness.

While experimenting with the 50 koms, some 10,0) rolls worn made and shipped, and the re-inclusive,. ports on the later and better made shipments were all of a highly favorable and encouraging nature, the evenness of the fabric and the great improvement on the old hand-loom' matting, especially as regards the salvage or edge, being particularly praised and commented on. One THE TEBRAU PLANTING COMPANY, great difficulty was to get the machines to turn over the straw so as to produce 5-clean surface at the edges of the Matting; this difficulty was overcome some few months ago, and the looms can now, in the opinion of experts, turn out a perfect fabric.

As enek power-loom can produce about 30 yards a day as against 6 yards produced by hand-loom, the saving in time is obvious, white the advantage of being able to rely on punctual delivery will be a great boon to dealers at home, who at present have to put up with much delay and loss of time in getting their goods,

The advantage is still more obvious to-day in view of the political unrest all over China and the great probability of the present troubles in the North spreading to the South, in which caso the matting industry in the districts around Canton is likely to suffer to such an extent that it may take years to recover, matting being entirely dependent upon the labour of the pea- saut class when not engaged in their ordinary farm work.

It is proposed to greet a Factory capable of running 450looms, producing about 100,000 colls per annum, on which it is estimated, at the prices recently obtaitied in the United States for the Matting sent there for sale, there would be a net profit of at least $14 per roll, or T $150,000. In course of time further experience and economies will undoubtedly improve apon these figures.
