figures relating to vessels entering and charing in ballast in the foreign trade have been greatly increased by the inclusion from January 1 of that year of vessels calling at Southampton and Plymouth to land or embark passengers. But even where a liberal allowance is made for such additions, the strength of the British position in the matter of morchandise marine is not only manifest, but obvious.

The reports in the Istest Japan papers regard- ing the stranding of the British steamer Indrani on the 14th ult, in the Inland Sen, at a point seren miles off Tamashima, Bitchu Province, tate that the steamer is badly damaged on the port side. The damage was found to be greater than was at first anticipated, for when the cargo was removed from the No. 1 hold, an extensive rent in her bottom was discovered. Her cargo consisted of about 3,000 tons of sundries and iron. One report says that the damage is estimated at over 200,000 yen. Twenty thousand is probably much dearer the mark..

A Blue-book issued by the Board of Trade gives some interesting statistics of the world's merchant shipping during a period of very nearly 50 years. The total tounage of sailing and steam vessels in the foreign trade entered and chared at British ports during 1907 was 133,271,720. Of this buige aggregato, British vessels accounted, for 81,308,442 tons, or 61 per cent of the whole. The grom addition of tonnage for the United Kingdom in 1907 was 773,137 tone, which compares with 471,332 tonu credited to the United States and 269.19 tons to Germany. The main interest in the return, however, lies in the comparisons furnished, curering, as they do, a lengthy period and show.

REVIEWS,
The Buckjunger, by NAT GOULD.. London:
John Lung.
The scene of this novel is the far north of Queensland, and with thrilling turf experiences Mr. Gould has blended life at a goldfield rush. The historic find at the Palmer and life-in-the diggers' camp are admirably pourtrayed by the author, who likewise describes the tarsing of a buckjumper by a bashman. The work is equal to any of Mr. Gould's books that we have read.
The Frontieraman's Pocket Book, Compiled and edited by Robes Pocock. London: John Murray, Price 5.
This is a very useful work compiled by Mr. Pocock on behalf of the Council of the Legion of Frontiersmen. Its valuu to the members of this organisation is great, containing as it does chapters on the training of frontiersmen, means of travel, collective training, morale, and simple medical and surgical treatment.

The seven stories which make up this volume are decidedly artistic. They do not thrill as some do, but there is a smoothness, a dainty touch, a pleasant something which makes the reader pass from one tale to another. They con cern themselves with wapents of life which are not common, but which are none the less na tural, and it is with an agreeable sonsation that we close the volume on completing the last
