THE HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE

COUNCIL.

The officials, says the London and China Express, appear to have been hurrying matters too fast, and it is natural that the unofficial members who represent those who have to bear the cost of the Government should not agree with so ranch alacrity to proposals involving the expenditure of large sums of money, such, for Instance, as is it stake in the erection of dest of feeling to the colony.

sent on this errand of mercy. On the 15th, of September, 1890, no fewer than four hundred outward-bound salling ships got under way from Elsinore, where they had been detained at anchor by persistent contrary winds, About all-a-dozen of this large feet of peaceful merchantmen were splendid specimens of our modern iron clipper craft on their way to Australia with timber: An overwhelming majority, how. ever, were wooden vessels of small tonnage and inferior build.

The Mercantile Marine List for 1891 shows that 133 British talling ships each reglater between 2,000 and 3,500 tons, twenty between 2,500 and 3,000 tons, and there is one leviathan of 3.330 tons 1.

Shipbuilders yards were well distributed around our coasts when wooden ships were in vegue; but now that iron and steel ships have come to the front, there is a teodency to conges tlon. A trip down the Clyde affords an excellent object lesson on the concentration of iron shipbuilding yards. We have somewhere seen It stated that a greater number of new ships are launched from the shipyards along the banks of that river, than from the whole

of the yards on the Continent of Europe. And this, although the Clyde yards are not so favorably situated as those of the Tees, the Tyne and the Wear, because those rivers flow through districts abounding in fron and coal Scotch shipbuilders early evinced far-seeing enterprise, by readily undertaking the building of iron ships when their future was an unknown quantity, Nevertheless, it may be urged that other in- dustries compensate the dwellers along the banks of those rivers. Of the 154 huge sailing ships referred to above, we find that sixty two were built on the Certos wenty-six at South, amptons twenty at Liverpool; fourteen at Belfasts six at Whitehaven five at Stockton; five at Nova Scotian posts; four at Workington; two each at Aberdeen, Dundee, Southwich and Sunderland; one each at Leith, London and Nantes, and one at Boston, United States. There is, however, a somewhat different geographical disposition of the owners of these large ships.. Eighty-one belong to Liverpool, fenty-one to Clyde ports, thirteen to London, six to Belfast, fire to Nova Scotian ports, four to Dundee, two to Dublin, and one to to Aberdeen, one Southampton

Probably the largest vessel of remote ages was one belonging to the same raler. She was 426- feet long, 56 feet: broad, 71-feet from the top of her prow to her keel, and 80 feet from the highest part of her poop. Her largest cars were 56 feet seven beaks or rastra.

The corner teeth make their appearance-when--the-foal-Is-eight months old, and the latter attain the height of the front teeth at the age of a year, The two-year-old has the kernel-the dark substance in the middle of the tooth's crown--ground out of all the front. teeth. In the third year the middl: front of teeth are shifted, and when three years old these are substituted by the perman ent (or horse) teeth, which are larger and more yellow than their predecessors. The next four teeth are shifted in the fourth year, and the corner teeth in the fifth, giving place to the permanent nipper.
