CHINESE ENGINEERS.

From time to time our S. anghal mora. Ing contemporary has called attention to the useful work accomplished by the professors of the Imperial College at Nanking In training officers for the Chinese Navy, and in a recent issue the Shanghal paper gives the report, in eximco, of the final examination of engineer students trained by Professor Hearson, and, after stating that coples of the papers are in its possession, and that they compare very favourably with those set at Green- wich for the examination of engineer students for the British Navy, It adds :---

The papers appear to us to be comprehensive and difficult, and liis certainly surpi'sing that Pofessor Hearson should have brought these Chinese boys to such a high state of proficiency in the short space of Kwa years, especially when we consider the dimenides under which he has had to work, in baving no engineering establish. ment near where de'could, by direct experiment, show them the practical proof of the calculations taught in the classroom.

Sm of the difficulties under which a Professor has to labour in teaching Chinese bays engineering-compared with teaching singlas boys in Europe-may be leagined when it is considered that the latter take to the profession of their own free will perhaps because their falber or some friend is engaged in it. They have been brought up amongst machinery, seeing and bearing something of it every day, and are well grounded in mathematica before commenc tag their engineering studies.
