bavy which had thoroughly come into line with the novices of mnoh more ancient growth. At the present time Japan. was building her own ships, and in a very short time she would build as big ships-as-—we could in England, Mondfactories for armour plato and that sort of thing were being brought into vogue, and though they wore not yet thoroughly equipped, they would very shortly be. They were very glad to see Japanese officers in England, and they hoped that when they left they would take away as farourable an impression of England as they had produced in this country. Admiral Ijuin, who was warmly applauded, returned thanks.

The memorial takes the form of a handsome Corinthian column, which has been erected by Messrs. J. Whitehead and Sons, of West minster, the work havin· been locally-superin tended by Mr. T. B. Frest. At its base the structure has two large pedestals of polished gracite, the plinth bas two courses of rough hown granite, and the entire structure is surmounted with a large ball. Midway, show ing up very distinctly upon the smooth granite, there is worked in a laurel branch symbolical' of the glory gained by the ship's company, while lower down there looks forth the helmeten head of a Roman warrior, with the words "H.M.B. Centurion" beneath. The follows: "Nars! inscription below is a Brigads, North Chius, 1900. Peitsing. Haiku, I Peiyang, Ticatsin. Erected by Admiral Sir E. H. Seymour, G.U.B., the Captain.
