A JAPAN Contemporary saysThe improved patent scrubber for cleaning the bottoms of ships; of which Captain Edwards, of the steamship Euphrates, is the inventor, was seen on Tuesday afternoon last, at work on the sides of the steam- ship McBeth, then lying in dry dock at Hiogo. The apparatus worked with unfailing satisfaction, succeeding in a short space of time in scrubbing perfectly clean a wide space on each side of the vesel. We understand that this clever patent can be applied at all times during a vessel's voyage, at sea or in harbour, and it is evident from its many successful performances in the

DEER ISLAND AGAIN!
Last spring it was noised abrand that Russia bed tempted to acquite the right of establishing a el depot on Deer Island-one, of the most important strategic points of this peninsula | This was flatly contradicted in an authoritative manner by those who arrived at conclusions based upon such data as they then passed. At the present time Japan has a coal depôt on the N.W, and of the island, which I have personally inspected. This being so it is open now to Ruisin, or any other Power (by virtue of the most favoured nation clauses in the treaties) to follow the example of Japan in this connection i But it is probably not Deer Island that the Mus- covites really want it may be a more suitable point et en than this.
