SONS OF THE SEA.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] Sometimes there is a whole world of unsuspect ad significanco behind the most casual common ples. For instance, the unique Inland Sea of Japan, studed with thousands of little islands, istha konie of myriads of boats and hostmon. It is almost impossible to find a piece of water in or near Japan without finding white sily dotted plentifully over it. The Japanese artist, who can seldom get his imagination to carry him beyond the realm of things he sees and know, nover dopicts a boatloss seu. Be it sunrise of / sunset; moonlight or silver-gray mist, calm or storm, fjord or lake or rolling sedák, every -piece of water has its suupons or junks, aud

The world at large knows this, to weariness perhaps, for one may tiva of Japanese screens and the invariable white sails on the horizon."

But the world seldom thinks that Japan probably excels all nations in sen population. That is a big thing to say."Little Japan to lend the hig Powers P. To bout them heller, to stand for

in front of all the world?

Precise figures are not obtainable in any country, forsa-going population" is a variable quantity, Thers are men who spond their lives in boats yet never get out of rivers and harbours. There are men who go to sou at times and at other times get shara am. ployment. There are several other factors to considor, rendering any statistics open to challenge. So the comparison can only be approximate, and the deductions only genera lisations.

There are probably no seas in the world so crowded with fishing boats as the Japanese waters. The whole nation, over forty millions subsista on fisheanderiem diet; probably mo nation in the world ents as much sea-fish. Tho

Chinese have also large numbers of soa-junks, along the cost from the Yangtze southward,

but their total salt water population cannot

compare with that of Japan; while North Chinn and Corian waters are remarkably desolate by contrast.

There are great numbers of small craft to be wona in the Mediterranean, and along the counts of the British Isles, and northern European countries, but nowhere do they appear in such countless swarms us off the coasts of Japan, not only in the Inland Sea, but out on the mighty Proific, the misnamed ocean of turrific typhoons. Japanese trading schooners, and fishing and whaling craft of the bigger and bolder types, range from the Bohring Seo, Kamchatka, and the Aloution Islands, Alaska and Vancouver, down to the Thursday Island pearling-grounds, tire palm-fringed coral islands of the cannibal Kanaka tribes, the Solomons, the Friendlies, the Marquesas. Fiji, and Takiti, the Carolines, und the Great Barrier Reef. Not in their thousands, of these remote places, but if ever n lonesome group of isleta, out of the world entirely, have bat ono little trading schoonor to visit them once in a year, it is an oven chance that that one host is a Japanese.

NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC

GARDENS.

Perhaps the most attractive part of the New Gardons is the upper terrace. Here on the warmest days in suumer the refreshing broze from Victoria Gap seldom fails. From the shady seats among the palms charming views of the barbour can be reen, and behind it Taimoshan. Here, too, in cousequence of the comparative retirement of the spot, birds and butterflies are at their best. Just now flocks of small wrens can be seen on may fine morning busily engaged upon the scarlet Erythrina flowers. What the little creatures find there to occupy them so closely it is hard at first to say Upon close inspection they appeared to be pecking small holes in the base of euch flower This is probably to obtain the honey that abounds there; no insects could be found in any of the flowers examined.

Looking down through the trees one can stiff see the wonderfully vivid musses of red Azaleas, which the skill of the makers of the garden has provided in a continuous succession of flowerings from week to week.

The shrubs and trees above the path Ukewise deserve their share of attention. The curious Jaran Octoden paniculata is just about to expand its flowers which hang in numberless festoons from the bare part of the bruches behind the leaves. Gardenia globosa, a South African shrub, now covered with large flowers, grows a little further along, with a species of Stenocarpas, also in full flower, near by.

PROFESSOR RHYS DAVIDS ON ORIENTAL STUDIES,

At a meeting of the Fellows of the British Academy on the 24th February, Professor Khys Davids rond a paper on “Oriental Studies in England and Abrol." He said:-There wora- two brunches of the subject--(1) Colloquial instruction in the spoken language; (2) the stuly of inscriptions and origius. Abroad tho titles of tenchora marked the distinction. There were the private students en ono sido, and the at £27.083,920, ngainst $27,206,646 in 1903-4, including a supplementary estimate for

will not be more than £142.250,000. On this busis, the contemplated expenditure for 1904-5 would be only about £120,000 in excess of the revenue, but it is very doubtful whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer will find it possible to take the Estiondesc for the next twelve montlik on as high a scale us this. The income-tax, at any rate, cannot be expected to produce as much as in 1993-4, because the arrears will be collected at Ild, and not löd. Customs, Exciso, and Stamps do not seem likely to yield as much in 1904-5 as in the year now losing. especially as February, 1905, will contain only 28 days instead of 29. The immediate prospect for the taxpayer does not, therefore, appear very cheerful, and he will be fortunate if he escapos increased bardens.
