The idea of pooling interests so as to rednica working expenses which is pow, it would seam, Japanese shipping companies at present engaged aboat to take definite shape among the four in the Yangtae-kiang trade is one that naturally commends itself to the Japanese mind, and it carried out. It is comparatives a new thing to will be in no way surprising to see it thoroughly And the Rising Sun flag being carried by mor- chant steamers into the inner waters of China, but the efforts made lately to trade with the Upper Yangten and with the cities of the Kiangui and Hansa Lake region have proved so remunerative that there is now a keen desire in Japan to pursue the experiment yet farther and to embark in the enterprise a more

It has a head and six legs, which seem to serve for balancing, while the body is an endosed cabio with two wiadows on each side. The notion depends upon the oiled-silk wings and the aluminum propellers, and the latter are driven by sixty-here-power Buchet motor at the enormous velocity of 30,000 révolutions per minute.
