THE LIGHTING OF THE GAP ROCK.

The construction of an outer light-house ( exhibiting a goal and reliable night "signal toʻ All mariners approaching Hongkong from the southward, is a subject which for years has occupied the minds of all navigators in the Ching scas, and which possibly has received a fair amount of attention from those gentlemen who, constitute the management of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, but why: the matter has never been pressed urgently home by former Governors of the colony is undoubtedly because it has never been anxiously asked for, first by the mariners themselves and secondly by those advisers of the Government whose business it is to listen and to explain. The new light on Gap Rock will be one of the Improvements of the port, and is assuredly a necessary improvement, but even without such light the experienced mariner would have shaped his course from the Bombay Shoal, or from some other southern position, with as easy a conscience as he and his fraternity have done any time during the last forty years. There was a time well within the remembrance of men still young when not one single light all the way from Cape D'Aguilar to Gutzlaff helped to Illuminate that hostile, long and rocky shore, and yet on the deck of the traverse sailing "windbag" the sagacious navi. gator invariably succeeded in finding his way MUSSO, NO LI ROK

This atom of Chinese territory, which appears to the approaching mariner very like two haycocks partly joined, and leaving a gap between them, has been in a small friendly way, a kind, of bone of contention between the Govern ment of Hongkong and that of China even since it was first proposed to put a light-house on it. Administrator Marah opened the corres pondence that has led to the recent decision, during the latter months of 1886, but negocia tions did not proceed very fast, owing to what, we assume to have been a decided and jealous repugnance of the Imperial Government of China to cede or even to barter one single square inch of their territory even in the shape of a useless and uninhabited rock.

SELDOM has the Maçao semi-official organ, the Independente, shown itself so plainly in its true chameleon colours as in its issue of the 28th inst. Our abject contemporary-which is, inno sense of the word, a newspaper-has never revealed its spirit of mean subservience to the powers that rulo and ruin the Holy City in a more emphatic manner than in the number we have before us, The grave sanitary situation of Macao is treated as a mere matter of ordinary occurrence; the introduction of cholera lazarettes within the city is supported, simply because it was a measure enacted by the Governor; the deaths which occurred at Cacilhas are attributed to excesses

Major Vaquinhas sad fate only finds a few lines in a paragraph on the third page of the paper; the dissolution of the Municipal Chamber by a despotic Governor is actually upheld as a just measure; His Excellency's recent interference with the rights of the electors, a fact vouchsafed for and testified to by eye-witnesses, is flatly denied, and the re-election of the members of the old Chamber is attacked on grounds which will not bear a moment's investigation.

She is the first Atlantic liner that has been fitted with a twin forced draught to produce the necessary steady pressure rather than enlarge the number boilers. The reason that the twin screw has sot b en used in the mercantile marine hitherto is that a double set of engines working two small screws on either side of the rudder involved the additional cost of making two complete sets of engines and shafts and screws instead of one; and because the horse-power that would produce a given effective result of speed out of a single screw would not produce an equal speed out of the two screws, for it is obvious that much of the horse power developed in the boilers is expended in overcoming the initial friction that results from doubling the moving patte. For instance, the steam has to lift about 24 tons of metal upwards of 800 times each minute when the City of New York is at full speed before the town the stench produced by the ineffective, the steam power can begin to communicate to imperfect and highly objectionable method of the screw propeller the force necessary to aci removing the city's refuse, is something abomia- 'on the water.
