Some such thought must have passed through the mind of Admiral Li when he came down from Canton to Hongkong without having had any information as to the Imperial deaths. In the port the British warships half-masted the Chinese flag, but not Admiral Li's twe cruisers, and the Admiral must have felt annoyed to find later that he had been guilty, consciously or unconsciously, of look of respect to the doud rulers.

Talking of chiaroles, which in Hongkong se in other places are not overcrowded, reminds me of an amusing paragraph I read the other day in which it was related that the Rev. Dr. Baker, formerly pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Oakland, and now manager for a correspond once school, declared that the reason the churches do not draw larger crowds is that they do not advertise!

There is a popular impression that church services and sermons nowadays appeal only to the really dowout and that the wicked find in them little to attnet. As the wicked presum ably noot there most, perhaps Dr. Baker can indicate how they might be changed.

THE USE OF LIQUID FUEL. The use of ofl as a fuel was first, it is beloved advocated by Captain Selwyn, B.N. It is on, record that in the year 1865 be read a paper on that interesting subject before the United Service Institution. In that paper he pleaded for the use of petroleum in the Royal Navy, and he drew a picture of its many advantages for such a purpose. He was se is frequently the case with pioneers in enginering work, criticised and opposed. However, in the following year he contributed a paper to the Institute of Naval Architects. A reference to the paper will show that he was in favour of the use of houvy oll

Perseverance usually obtains reward, and one result of the efforts of Captain Belwyn was that a number of experiments were carried out on two Lancashire boilers. So extraordinary more the results obtained that the subject was freely discussed, and considerabla attention was dirooted to the testa. A launch at Woolwich was equin. ped for burning the residual oil from the Rassian reberies and good results wore altained. Then Nobel introduced his farmace, which is of the trough form.

DEATH OF FATHER IGNATIUS. The Bev. Joseph Lme, who took the name of Father Ignatius, died last month at his sister's residence, Darjeeling near Camberley, when he had been staying since the beginning of Sep tember. He had jurnoyed from Sheringham, and was then in poor health, not having properly recovered from a siozure he had had in Linathany Abbey. The long journey from Norfolk affected him considerably and he rapidly tarued worse. He afterwards became unconscions, remaining so practically to the end. Ingamenta ensued, and this was even- taally the cause of death. Bora in London on November 23, 1837, Mr. Lyno was educated at St. Paul's School, at Ayscough Free Hall, Spalding, as well as at Britannia House, Worcester; and finally at Trinity College, Glea amerd, Perthshire. He was ordained in 1860, and was appointed curate of St. Peter's, Fly mouth, becoming afterwards mission curate of St, Gorge's in-the-last.

A good deal has been said in the native press lately about the minting of new Chinese coins with a view to fulfilling the uniform currency obligation of the Mackay Treaty. But, if China is minting all these millions of silver coins, how is it that the price of silver is so low! Has China been hoarding silver for this purpose so that she does not now need to buy? China's resolve to introduce as a national coun the new tael piece, of which it is said millions, are now being minted, raised hopes that China would come into the market as a large purchaser of the white metal, and that her domand would be a prominent influence in determining the price of the motal for some time to come.

There is a class of which a pump is used to compress the old and the oil is then split up by suxiliary means Crudo oils require considerable pressure to eject. them, and the pressure used varies from 301b to 601b per square inch. Air is usually pumped into Que tanks abore the surface of the oil, to give the required presure.

Numeroas devices have been invented for breaking up the jet into the form of spray. In order that the crude oils may flow easily and barn quickly, it is usual to heat them up to a temperature of about 300deg Fahrenheit before spraying them. Sometimes the oil in flang ont with a circular motion all round the furnace-bed, and in other cases it is inipinged upon baffle plate. When the eis are previously heated, as mentioned above, stam coils are used for the purpose. Crude oils are, however, a compound of many oils, some of which have slow flash point. The above system is not popular, because of the heat used up.
