some of mon's life, and their thought of it. NORDDEUTSCHER LLOYD. BREMEN

When the dispute between the Northern and Southern Stales broke out in 1861_Am rien was more than a week's distance from Europe. The stomers were comparatively slow and small, and there was no cable. The journey Boross Asia was an affair of months. The Far East was a distant world, and Japan a strange land of which practically nothing was known. Ans. trolla and Now Zanlund were au Ultima Thule, to which if men set oat they rogarded their altinto return home as a hopol-for possibility, but hardly more.

SPANNING THE CONTINENTS.

"During the next ten years cables were laid aeroes the Atlantic, the railway was carried over the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific, and the opening of the Suez Canal made an basy way to Australia, India, and the Far East. The process of reducing distances mos- enred by the time required to traverse them and by the ease of transporting men and goods.en

large scale has been carried on with ever in crewing energy, until today there is a belt of! parallel railway across North America, with lines of steamors regularly plying norosa the Pucifle, nun ailway conveying mon in a fortnight across Northern Asia from the Pacifo to the Balie and the North Boa. The Great Eastern, the ocean giant born before its time, long ago, became a dwarf hex do the normal ocean liner. Thus it is easier now to travel round the world than it was in 1869 to go from New York to San Francisco. The world tas not shrank, But every part of it has become many times mora accessible to every other part. Meantime the telegraph has brought all nattous into instanta noous communication with one another, and any aveat of importance is known in every city of the world within twenty-four hours of its

Occurrence.

OCCUPYING THE VACANT-SPACES.

"During a the fifty years populations hava been moving into the vagant spaces. The United States, always fed from the surpins population of Europe as well as increasing its aalite population, began the period by aking an end of slavery, and has goue en converting its territories into new free States which now pretty nearly cover the vast area which in 1860 was still the territories' of the West. During the last ten years the streem has set towards the great Canadian West, which attracts newcomers both from the British Isles and from the United States A steady dow of immigrants, mostly from the Latin countries of Southern Europe, have gone to South America, and the overflow from Argentina has cueronched on what used to be the unknown region of Patagonia

OHANGES IN AFRICA AND ASIA, "Afrios in 1860, anknown except on and near its coasts, had been penetrated in every direction during the first half of the period, and at the beginning of the second half was partitioned by the Powers into spheres of influeno. Waat was the inaccessible region of savagery is now in great part governed by ciellised Powers, and wherever the climate permits is becoming the field of systematic work for the supply of the world with its products of all kinds. Wars and political disputes have not prevented this development, in which Great Britain, France, and Germany have taken the chief part, while Belgium and Italy have contributed each in its own way.

Auio, Bursin has oxtended her admini stration to the Persian and Afghan borders, and the co'onisation of Siberie, ne isted by the milway, has opened out an enormous produc ve area. This process of Russian expansion Las been stimulated rather than chocked by the transformation and consequent expansion of Japan, while the ever-interesting energy of European commercial enterprise in China has produced in that country" a reaction of which the result is likely to be's change as profound ag that which has taken place in the istant Em- piro of the East.

While the United Kingdom during the whole fifty years has been supplying population to the United States, to Canada, to Australia and Now Zealand, and to South Africa, her. own population has increased by more than a third, from under twenty-nine millions in 1850 to over forty-five millions at the present time."

TAXATION AT SINGAPORE.

The Chairman of the Straits Chamber of Commerca in the course of his review of the work of the Chamber said -----

At the close of last year, the Income Tax Bill Vee also in suspense, but it is satisfactory to know that the Government has since aceeded to the very strong protests of the Colony, and particularly of this Satisment, and has with -drawn the proposed Bill. I trust that we have beard the last of this measure for a long time to come, and I think we may feel chufident that the flourishing condition of the sources of the Colony's revonne, will, if not arbitrarily inter- fared with, render its revival annecessary. (Hear hear) In the ecurse of the public discussion which took place on the Bill, it was suggested, as no ulternative source of that
