JUNGLE JOTTINGS.
A writer in the Penang Gassifs gives the following interesting "jungle varia" ;---
There is something to me uncanny about troop' of jungle monkeys. Marking the inquisi- tive naturalist, they hold a hurried council of war, conducted in a sort of treble half-whisper, as they swing, pendent from the boughs, rapidly towards one another. When they think the son of nature has come a little too near for the safety of monkeyhood, with one sweeping swing that carries them rustling and crackling through the jungle forest, they bave retired a good many yards from their visitor, who, as he comes agala painfully through the stout rotans and thorned vines, seen the same tactic repeated, The-Inst time I tried to study monkey life in this way! gat fairly led into the bush." When at length I turned about embarrassed to know the direction back, a score or more of the hairy little villains set up mocking peals of laughter. I really believe they knew my dis comfiture, and had a fine bit of fun over it, to which I bid them welcome, for no doubt bearty laugh does good also to our jungle
cousins,
There seems often to be a disappointing lack of anything like rare beetles in the forest, However, there are plenty of them, only scat tered throughout wide expanses. If any number are to be collated, they must first be collected. This may be done by having a tree bewn down, and scattering its little sweet chips thickly around. All beetles within reach will come to the feast. After a day or so many good speci- mens may be collected about and under the dibris. Mr. Wallace sometimes tried this trick with success in Malaysia.

· RAILWAY EXTENSION IN NORTHERN CHINA,
It will be remembered that the Kaiping Rail-,
way was first opened for carrying coals. It has now developed into a very large concern, and it may almost be said the whole welfare of the adjternt country depends on it. The whole length of the completed line is little more than 200 but, the Shanghai Mercury learns from native sources, the Company are now extending their line considerably. The investment up to the present has turned out to be very profitable Last year the Company extended the line from Tongshan to Kooyar, which section will be purely a mercantile concern and free from Government control In the spring of the Throne for permission to build a railroad from year the Board of Admiralty memorialised the
Kooyar to Shau-hai-kwan, which petition was duly sanctioned by the Emperor, who has now appoined Li Hung-chang, Superintendent of Northern Trade, to be Director-General of the new line; Yu, the Tartar-General at Monkden and Cheng, the Tartar-General at Kirin, to be The Beard of Revenue' have co-Directors. already placed the sum of Tis. 1,200,000 at the disposal of LI to begin operations on the undertaking, The Viceray has made all the necessary arrangements, and has appointed two managers to supervise the work. The details of those arrangements have been sent into the Throne for approval. The two manager appointed by Li are Chow Lun Ding, a commander-in-chief, and LI Yu Dør, an expectant Tastal. The necessary authority, and seals have already been given them. The inscription on the sales are to the sect that the road from Tientsin to Tongshan and Kalping are to continue under control of the Kalping Company, and that Tong King-sing and Woo Nan Ko are to continue carrying on the work they hitherto have been engaged in. The two managers Chow and Li have left for Linchow to purchase suitable sites for building purposes, to buy out the route the railway will follow right up to Shan-bal-kwan, and to make other arrangements for commencing work at once.

All rumours as to the rebellion of Russia against China have passed away, and no "olber rumours have taken their place.
Even the riots in Central China have failed to make any commotion here, only a few being acquainted with the facts.
Sixty from Hinghwa we found coal being sold at the rate of 300 cash a ton, and larger quantities for less, as the supply was unlimited, I think I deserve well of my country for dis- covering a place where three and a half tons of coal can be obtained for one dollar. would the poor folks at home, or even the rich folks of Shanghal, say to a shilling a ton for coal, and no dispute about the weight either i Practically this was simply the cost of breaking it out of the mountain from a seam six feet thick. The demand for it was sinall, as it was twenty miles of bad road from a waterway, and that too a bad one.

It seems rather strange for us here to hear of tots in some place than our own city or the vicinity around, and we are inclined to think the miasionaries in Chinan Fu are not the only sinners in China.

little toward illuminating the general Ignorance, and nothing at all toward dissipating the dark- ness of the districts at a little distance. During the long interval in which rain was waited for, the district magistrates did all that they could to appease the unknown powers upon whom the moisture is supposed to depend. For example In Kentang the magistrate prayed for a long time to the city god, then to Kuan T1 (the god of war), then he sent for the iron tablet from the well of Lung Wang in Hantanhalen, and when this too falled him he had altar set up to each of the Eight Diagrams, and faithfully attended in person, all without result, At last when it was evident that all signs fall in dry weather he gave up worshipping, and later, on the second of the fifth moon, a heavy and very general rain fell, apparently saving the crops. But it was soon as dry as ever, and prompt measures were taken to bring rain-fall, In one village a theatrical exhibition was engaged for this purpose at a cost of forty: three, strings of cash. An adjacent village wishing to get the benefit of this offering, with out all the trouble of entertaining the swarms of guests which theatre always brings, paid the first village forty strings of cash, for the privilege of having the god-of-war-of-village-number-two. witness the theatricals, with a view to his in decing a rain upon his native village.
