6. Are there any statistic procurable respect- ing lives lost or saved, vessels rescued or wrecked, property missing or recovered, etc. ?

7-How are rescuers rewarded and what rewards are on record?

The answer to these questions have been published in English and Chinese in one of the familiar yellow books, of which a copy has been sent us by the Statistics Department, and which is one of the most interest of the series. The behaviour of the Pescadores people last year proved that the belief above refir d to was A fallacy, and a perusal of this book will show that throughout the Yangtze, from Chungking to the m-uth, and on the Whangpa, and to a certain Iextent at Canton, there are regularly maintained and well-equipped means for the saving of life from drowning. We have often beard the life boat stations on the Upper Yangtze praised, and here we have a full xccount of them with maps, There are no life-boats or life-saving stations on the coast of China, but the general regulations for the protection of life and property in case of shipwreck, which were issued in 1876 and sanctioned by Imperial decree, have been widely Commissioners are able to mention several na'ances, in which the regulations have been observed, and rewards paid for lives saved.

SEANSI NOTES.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRISPONDENT.)

8th February, 1893. The famine in the north of the province appears to be even more dreadful than was at first supposed. Letters from the famine region stain that distress began in the fifth month, and daily growing worse. Dr. Stuart reports that near Ningwa Halen he met seventeen loads of young women and girls on the way toward the south to be sold. Each load had an average of twenty pans, all from one district. The people of the Kuribus Hsien villages say that out of every three persons, two will die before the end of the second month of next year. This year the out and wheat crops were practically a fx:lore, and the millet crop was not more than one-ball as large as usual,

The few misionaries in the neighbourhood are doing all they can to help those about them, but the most they can do is bat tle. They can at the best save but a few out of the many. Every day in Taitang Fu the missionaries 100 two and even more lying dead in the streets near by. Some of the prices are as follows ( millet, 56 cash per catty, the former price was 18 cash oatmeal, 56 cash, former price tz cash potatoes, to cash, former price 4 cash black bears, Boo carb per fou, former price 250 cash. The prices are much higher than usual pretty well over the wh le province, and as a consc quence there is an unusual amount of suffering, and want.

The effect of these famines on the population of Shanti is most di astrons, But if such visits- lons should help to knock the bottom on of Chinese Jungshul it would eventually be a good thing for the country and the people—N, C, Daily News,

The Government did not make any regulations with regard to bixating, as to the method or time of deleg it, or the amount of charge, pat in.
