The American ice-cream freezer has long been a favourite in Hongkong, and as a matter of fact the American article This season controls the local market. has been notable for the tremendous increase in the local use of these freezers, It is only quite recently that the Chinese This season have taken to ice cream. there are several stores owned and con trolled by Chinese, where ice cream is daily served to Chinese customers during

Europeans here are rather slow in equipping their houses with refrigerators, and the great modern majority are still using a small and uneconomical ice box, which in some ways serves the purpose, although in the long run it is certainly more expensive than those generally in use in America.

Mr. Milton's opinion is that under ordinary conditions there is no special risk attaching to the use of fake charcoal, the particular kind of charcoal employed. He considers that in normal temperatures flake charcoal is not liable to spontaneous combustion, This special risk of spon- taneons combustion is only present when the chancoal is subject to a temperature

But it is important to bear in mind that, according to this theory, it is the wood and not the charcoal which first takes fire. It will probably surprise many to learn that the source of supply of nearly all the flake charcoal now in uso are the cotton thread factories of Scotland. In preparing the millions- of reels that are annually produced small Chinese other things being equal, will chips of wood are turned off.

For some days after the distilling process; there is a serious danger of spontaneous combustion among the heated charcoal, but the residue is gradually cooled by water and it is claimed that when is is sold for insulation all risk, under normal conditions, has been eliminated.

FREEDOM FROM FIRE. There are, of course, other substances besides charcoal which are used for insulation, such as silicate colton, against the use of which little, if anything, can be said except that, like charcoal, it But requires the use of wood casing. the fact remains that flake charcoal has been used to a very great extent in many ships for a long period of years and that Do untoward results have resulted. The subject deserves watching--and the report that a small fire recently occurred in the insulation of the steamer Brodmount is not to be ignored-but in the opinion of independent authorities there is no suffi. cient evidence to show that the employ ment of charcoal involves special risk. The real risk as has been pointed out, seem; to lie in the use of the wood sur- rounding whatever form of insulating material is adopted, and science has nut yet suggested any suitable substitute.

A DECLINE IN SHIPBUILDING.

The returns compiled by Lloyd's Register of Shipping, which only take into account vessels the construction of which has actually begun show that, excluding warships, there were 518 vessels of 1.950, 605 tons gross under construction in the United Kingdom at the close of the The quarter ended December 31. 1913: tonnage now under constraction is about 30,000 tons less than that which was in hand at the end of last quarter, and about 13,000 tons less than that building in December, 1912.

Of the vessels under construction in the United Kingdom at the end of December, 420 of 1,557,651 tons are under the inspec- tion of the surveyors of Lloyd's Register with a view to classification by this society: In addition, 116 vessels of 497,076 tons are building in other countries under the society's survey..

SKIN DISEASES

Overcome by the Wonderful Blood Purifying Properties of Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS.

A person suffering from eruptions of the skin has much to endure. It is not merely the discomfiture and irritation and painful sensation, but life is made miserable by depression of spirits. The liver is torpid and the kidneys are partially inoperative, and you feci languid and weak. The disease is in the blood, and when the system is not cleansed through the usual channels, Nature asserts herself, and forces portions of the impurities through the skin in the form of Pimples, Boils and Blotches. External remedies--powders, ointments, lotions-only alleviate; they Dr. Morse's Indian Root do not get at the cause. Pills get at the cause by removing the discase from the Blood. They cleanse the system by stimulating the Liver and strengthening the Kidneys, which filter the Blood and throw off the impure matter through the regular channels.
