WELL-KNOWN SHANGHAI PILOT RETIRING.

CAPT. W. E. KENT LEAVES FOR' HOME.

AFTER MANY YEARS' SERVICE IN CHINA WATERS.

The retirement from pilot service of Captain W. E. Kent, who left for England via Canada laat week on the

reas of Canada, gives Shanghai reason once more to reflect upon the changes which each year brings, commentr the .-C. Daily News. Captain Kent was one of the best known among pilots in China waters, having served about 20 years no a travelling pilot for the Canadian Pacife liners with a subsequent period of three years in the service of the Shanghai Licensed Pilots Asso ciation.

Blockade and Earthquake, Captain Kent received his early train- ing as an apprentice aboard sailing ships, and after obtaining his master's certi- ficale came out far service in China waters. While he was in command of a coasting steamer the Spanish-American War broke out, and it is understood that on more than one occasion he undertook the adventurous operation of running the blockade of the Philippines.

Foreign Interest in China. Mrs. Ayscough made the interesting observation in her contacts with students of Chinese art and culture in other coun- tries that some of the greatest of these not only do not speak Chinese but have never been in China or Japan. This is especially true in America, she said, where great scholars of the subject, have acquired a sound accumulation of know- ledge through using the French, German

MALARIA FIGHT.

INVESTIGATION.

Sir Ronald Ross (as reported at the time by Reuter), proposed to leave Eng- land on the 20th ult, for the Federated Malay States, travelling by the P. & 0. Rajputana, and expects to be back in England by the end of February.

The main object of my journey," he said, is to see the anti-malarial work now being carried on in the Federated Malay States. I particularly want to see any new methods of malaria prevention that may be employed in that aren, and also to study the conditions of the country, In India .I hope to see some anti- ol prose, Mrs. Ayscough said About 500 malaria work that is being conducted poems by Tufu bave already been trans-up-country.

Ayscough described the method by which they had worked together in her first book. Mrs. Ayscough gave the late Miss Lowell a literal translia tion of the Chinese poems first with notes and commenta of her own on each poem. This was used in connection with a word by word translation of each line com hined with English synonyms for the vari- ous Chinese words, or a character analysis.

Mra. Ayscough will return to Canada in the spring to summer at St. Andrews

A special feature of what is claimed to be the most powerful passenger locomo tive in England, which recently made it first long trip on the Southern Railway from Waterloo to Salisbury non-stop, is the introduction of two tip-up seats for the driver and fireman in a position from which it is possible to drive.

As regards the Ronald Rose Institute, the research work already in progress will be carried on by my co-directors, Sir James Simpson and Dr. Alde Castellani and the other medical men who are al- ready working there. As concerns the immediate problem of malaria, we all want people to understand that they must spend money if they want to avoid the expense of the disease, which is often very great.
