A revenue cutter will be asked for to protect the THE Brhish Steamer
treasure. The headquarters of the expedition will be at Cape May Point.
The De Break, in which the treasure is sup. fereed to be buried, sailed from Falmouth on June 3, 1797, for the British West Indies. She was commanded by Captain Drew, with a com- plement of eighty-six men, and in the following May arrived off the Delaware capes. While under mainsail and reefed topanit she capsized and sank with the Captain and thirty-eight officers and searden The rest of the crew escaped in the ship's boat and a pilot bont, which was waiting to take the pilot ashore. Twa hundred Spanish prisoners also went down at the same time. The De Braak was a licensed privateer under the English flag, and while on her journey across the ocean overhauled two prizes, both loaded with the specie which Dr. Pancoast and Lieutenant Adams will endeavour to bring from the bottom of the ocean.- Philadelphia Record, ·

The Tytam reservoir was begun in April, 188. The site selected seemed intended by Nature the storage of water; there is a splendid watershed, a dozen springs flow into the valley the gully lending out of it is easily dammed, and it is at a sufficient height to give a strong pres. sure. The first thing done was to dig the foundations of the dam, at a place about five hundred feet wide. The rocky bottom made this comparatively easy, as it simply needed to be oughened to give the superstructure, a hold, On the top of this the engineers van concrete, the area covered being about 300 ft. long and ft. wide. This was faced at the sides with stone, so-that now it is completed it is really one vast "block of concrete in a abell of stone. Seventy thousand cubic yards of con- crete were used for this gigantic work. It is built in steps, narrowing to the top, where. it is only about 25 feet broad, and looks like a colossal, solid, Theban bridge; it is only rivalled in magnitude by three or four damn Europe, and excels them ail in dryness... Behind the dam there is a sheet of water filling the grassy basin to the extent of about thirty acres.

From these it runs into the service Reservoir. Up to this point everything is practically finished, all that still requires to be done being the completion of the overflow-weir at Tytam, and the straighten- ing-up of the place generally.
But in following the water to the Albany we have overlooked a very substantial portion of the work at the fountain-head. Quite away from the dam the soil has been excavated to the level of the water, paved, and a substantial stone bridge created over it. Here the surplus water will fun away. The sides of the cutting ⚫are strongly banked with stone, and in several places large stone drains, like sa'mon-ladders in appearance, have been built to take off the surface-water. Some good roads have been constructed, and when the bare places on the sides of the nullah have been nicely turfed over the place will be a picture.

But this arrangement will only be temporary. Next year an elaborate scheme for the distribution of the water will be formulated, the whole system will be re-organised, and then all Hongkong will have to consider on this head for the next two or three generations will be how to pay for the great Reservoir."

be added on the new maciantus, trading ventures floated since May, 1887, this extra- ordinary fact is ascertained—namely, that within two years the stock and share market has been asked to absorb £80,000,000 worth of scrip!
It is well known, however, that hardly a single public company registered in the colony calls upon shareholders to pay up its full capital at the birth of the venture. The £$9,000,000 represented by the 270 new companies is there- fore only a nominal liability; the amount of capital actually subscribed will probably not exceed in fourth of this amount. Nevertheless, the public stands pledged to the enormous liability already stated. What percentage of these new companies will remain in existence a twelve month hence it is impossible to say, and equally problematical in the prospect of a fair rate of interest being earned by these "investment " stocks. Undoubtedly, the promoter is having a glorious time of it at present; but after perusing she return recently submitted to the Legislative Assembly showing the enormous number of new floats in a single year, the question naturally occurs, How many of these ventures are likely to The wonderful buoyancy of the stock and share pay satisfactory dividends to the shareholders ? market is shown by the readiness with which this extraordinary amount of scrip has been taken up. The registration of additional new companies continues to this day, so that the "boom" in floating Joint stock companies is not over yet. On the contrary, the professional promoter is still very much to the fore, and is almost daily launching new concerns, which || on paper represent such a vast amount of capital that sober-minded people sub their eyes in wonder and ask themselves the question whether there has been a sudden influx of auriferous Rothschilds,

or whether this "boom" is only a more intensified phase of the speculative mania which has hitherto been peculiar to gold mining,,
