The new electric lamp of Robert Hopfelt, as tested in Germany, is claimed to combine the resistance to Block of the carbon lamp with the economy of the mercury vapor lamp. It has carbon filament fused into a U-shaped tube, which contains a drop of meronry and an inert gas to transmit the heat to it, and the tube itself in fasel into a bull, giving the whole the appearance of an ordinary incandescent lamp The energy consumption per cauille-power is about 60 per cent, less than that of the ordinary carbon-filament lamp. On rat turning on the current, the Blament glows with about the anal consumption per candle power, but as the mer. enry becomes vaporized the light inornares, reaching more than double the ordinary inten. sity in five minutes. The light is pure white without objectionable blue or green rays.
Quite a revolution in naval warfare is promised by the new torpedo of Engineer Lieutenaut Hardcastle of the British Navy. Thng far the possibilty of being torpedoed at rester distance than 2,000 Fords has not been

Coloured lights as signals on railways become mors insatisfactory as speeds and traffic in crease, with the growing confusion of city lights, and it has been suggested that a system of bright white lights in varying arrangement would be more quickly and certainly recognized in all weather. Three lights, for instance, might be shown in a vertical, horizontal or alanting row, or arranged in a triangle-each form being a definite signe".
The flow of metals under pressure, discovered somewhat more than 30 years ago, is the basis of the industry of the French Metallurgical Company, which makes tubes and actions by forcing cold copper, aluminum, zinc., etc., through suitable dies. The three machines now sex have capacities of 3000, 500 and 250 tous respectively. The enormous pressure exerted by the machines is concentrated upon a small area and this causes the metal to become more or low fluid, so that it can be given the desired form, Elaborate tests of the tubes before and after pealing, also when heated to various tempera. tures, have been recently made. Among other results, it has been shown that cold-drawn zine tubes of equal strength may be substituted for ordinary lead pipes, and that the saving in eost would be from 25 to 45 per cent.

The novel method of electric welding of L S. Lachman makes it possible to use stool in place of rulleable iron for many articles. Two unequal sections do not weld satisfactorily, so one piece of nietal is cast with a projecting cûge and the other with a point, and the two project- ions, forced together by a hydraulic press, uzs made to form the highest rusistance of an electric circuit. Being thus heated to melilug- point or nearly so, the pieces; under the grant pressure, become quickly more strongly wekled together than they could be attached by means of rivets,
THE ANNUAL REPORT ON KIAOCHAU..
The Berlin correspondent of the Globe says The annual report dealing with Kino-ohan has just been laid before the Raichstag. It claims that the chief aim of the anthorities in charge of the Protectorate has been to develop it from a purely commercial aspect, and to make the placa o trading centre for the intorchange develop the Protectorate in any other direction of goods. That Germany could over-exprot to- was out of question from the first. After nego- tiations lasting several years between European

has aided for and its importance to trade has been increased development of the region, greatly by the fact that it has been connected at Tsinanf with the new main line, which is being laid from Tientsin to the Yangte Kiang asahinese Stute Railway. This new liue is being built with German material,' for the superstructura and the bridges throughout the northern section, 316 miles in length, are being supplied entirely by German firms. This means German works will receive orders: amounting to about £1,100,00

The report laments that the development of the colony suffers greatly from the fast that the Imperial mail steamers do not call at Tsingtau, as thereby the older commercial ports in the Far East have a great advantage. In the hinterland good ship'a coal has tested and found to be nseful. The harbour beeu founil, which the warships have

further improvements are to be carried out, sud a more uniform system of loading, unloading, the Government, and stops are to be taken to and warehousing goods is to be introduced by secure greater facilities for the exportation of a larger volume of the cheaper kinds of hinese goods,
Although the outlook continues to be pro- aising, yet the results for 1907-1906 cannot be said to be altogether satisfactory. This is pat down to the general depressed tone of the markets financial crisis, which, starting in the United in the Far East, in consequence, firstly, of the States in the autumn of 1937, reduced the buying powers of the public, and, secondly, of the failure
of the harvest in Shantung.
On account of the depreseton in trade the recaipts of the Protectorate were £10,013, or 12 her cent., below those that were estimated. But the receipts have risen since last summer. an improvement in this respect has set in, for

The rational diet, as worked out by Dr. Landoasy, Doyen of the Paris Faculty of Medioins, must contain the nitrogenous food necessary for the repair of the body, and in addition a still larger proportion of fatty matter and carbohydrates, to maintain heat and working energy. The dietary should be proportional to the man's size and weight and the work required. The common labeurer should have daily 715 grammes (25.2 ounces) of carbohydrates (sugar, ets.), 90 grammes of bamen in nitrogenous food (braud, meat, etc.), and 85 grammes of fatty matter. The desk worker needs nearly as much nitrogenous and fatty food, but only 450 grammes of carbohydrates.
