The Light-bouse itself in of elegant but marsive construction and reflecta no Utile credit on Its builders. Te la mostly built of iron but the lantern is of steel and' gun-metal. The found tions are ori valld granite and cement, and the structure has the additional support of 16 suchor bolts. Perhaps the most Interating feature of an experiment which has for the first time been put into practice at Waglan. It is the Introdection of the "mercury pan in which the whole superstracture revolves, so that, although of some of tons weight, it can be set in | motion with the slightest touch.". The invention thus does away with the friction, wear and tear of the older systems. Should anything go wrong In the mercury pan, however, other methods can be fallen back upon. The barzer carries sby circuler wicks and consumes, when full power is used, six gallons of paraffin oil nightĺ› ; but tb es wicks are deemed sufficient in clear weather. It revolves at a height of 315 feet from the ten-evel and on a clear night should be Alarerriple at a distance of 23 miles. It is described as a group fishing light-the first for seconds then obscured for 4 3/5 secs., an- other fish of a 1-3 ssc.. then a dark interval of 2014/15 secs, making in all a double fash every balfminate. The principle is the invention of Messrs. Barbler, of Paris, and the mechaniam has been put in working order by Mr. Grivax who has been sent out specially.
The cost of the undertaking will be between $70,000 and $80,070 and the annual up-keep will also amount to a considerable rum.

The military guard of the prison promptly turned out, and fired with dendly effect no the escapleg pri- soners, who were seriously hampered by their chains. Seven of them were killed or mortally woaded, four others were so desperately wound. ed that they died shonly afterwards, seven more wounded men were sem ved to the gaol hospital, four were teraptured on the filowing day (Sunday), and ore is still at large at the time of writing-this making up the complement of twenty-three who got out. Among those recaptured was the ring eader of the outbreak, and it is a noteworthy set that only one China man was among those concerned in the rising. Several dramatic incidents miked the occasion, The warder, who was seired by the matinecas and beld as a screen between them and the guard, was inadvertently shot by the latter to the region of the shoulder, the bullet afterwards pursuing its course and mortally wounding one of the prisoners. One man was shot in end- carourlag to swim the canal, Another, on being retaken, made an ineffectual attempt to commit suicide by cutting his throat.
Meanwhile, the workshop had been fixed in the most determined manners and the smoke of the conflagration could be seen for miles, and in spite of the efforts made under the superin- tendence of the Governor, this wing of the prison was completely gutted.

The Foreign Minister, the Minister for Local Government, Prince Naradhip, and several other dignitaries arrived at the Gaal shortly after the outbreak, and remained for a consider able time, Drs, Hays and Macfarland were quickly in attendance on the wounded, both gentlemen working unceasingly. It was under slood that one of the very badly wounded limbs would have tobe amputated on Sunday, but it was ultimately decided not to pororm the operation, the choice being humanely left to the injured man himself, whose life, we may add, is der- paired of. The dead and wounded prisoners whom we saw appeared to be in fine bealthy sufficiency of the prison rations. One lucidest condiion, tribule to the excellence and of the mutiny which among others has been misrepresented, is the panic caused among the peacefal prisoners by the tumult-the real fact being that a number of these in the main square broke into the lodge for shelter, where, however, they did no harm. The alleged cause of the outbreak is stated to be dissatisfaction on the part of the convicts with the conditions of their 1479indeeff, when they are committed to pri, on the dura ton of their sentence is not communicated to them, so that they naturally object to not knowing whether they are incarcerate for One or for twenty years. In contrast to this, each man is made an allowance of fire cents per diem. Surely if the amount of this allowance were reduced and the afore-mentioned hard conditions ameliorated, it would be a step in the right direction, and one more in accordance with advanced canons of law? Another somewhat serious item connected with the outbreak is the means whereby the convicts obtained the batchets with which they burst open the door, as also the weapon wherewith one of them attempted self-destruction. It may be added that the Sikh guards at the prison THE FOOCHOW tea prospeCTS. | were removed on the 1st of April, so that advantage may have been taken of their absence. The New Gaol near Patoo Sam Pee was opened for the reception of prisoners in May, 1897, since which date it has been the scene of no less than three outbreaks, of which the one above described is undoubtedly the most ser fous in extant and possible consequences. The first occasion was on December 4th, 1891, when five of the prisenere paid with their lives the penalty of their attempt, and the second was May and of last year, when. two were killed. Considering all the circums tances of the rest wants, together with lis Aurions premeditation, the grol authorlifes deserve every credit for the-promptitude of the measures taken to suppress the outbreak and recapture the escaped convicts—Bangkop Timer..

In a few days more, most of our foreign tea buyers will have returned to Foochon, and it may therefore be useful to indicate in some degree the prospects of the coming tes season.
The Native tea growers all made money last year, and this is more than attested by the fact abat the amount of treasure sent into the country for the purchase of leaf exceeds in valoa that of 1893 by 20 per cent. With the diminished scale of prices now given for Foochow tea, it will be well to bear in mind the enoTIONS increase in buying power this money represants,

On the other hand, a reduction of two-penca per dollar in exchange is causing the teamen to be jubilant over the prospects of getting higher prices."

Many of the country people are afraid that there will be only women left in the fields to at- tend to planting, the men being required for war service.

It has been asserted that the French, will hesitate to push their legions along the Mekong during the raloy season from fear of fever and dysentery amongst the troops.
