We commend to the attention of the local satharides the following clipping from the Lancet. What's useful for and possible in London is equally, ((_not-ten" thousand times more so, possible here :-
It seems to us that if seawater could be substituted for fresh water for the purpose of Ausblog our drain and sewer systems, a very important economy in the supply of water for drinking purposes would result. The amount of water used for merely removing waste and effensive matters from our midat is, la propor. tion to that used for consumption, very considerable, and the demands, therefore, for potable water as London's first necessity of life would be very materially reduced.

THE BRITISH FLEET
-SHOULD BE
The following is taken from a Navy Leagué pamphlet :--
LORD GEORGE HAMILTON (spréch Introducing the Naval Defence Act of 1889): "I think I
correct in saying that that idea" (the fden underlying all Naval Ministers' and Prime Min isters' speeches) "has bren that our establish. ment should be on such a scale that it should be at least equal to the naval strength of any two other countries. For the purpose of meeting unexpected blows we should have a considerable margin of reserve,"
LORD FRASSEY: "Our standard of strength- In battleships should he twice that of France. Naval Annuah tang, p. 274.
SIR CHARLES DILKE; "What we have to do is to make our navy so strong that ws shall be able to keep the sens open ngaluat any probable enemy We cannot dow trust, as we did at the beginning of the century, to slowly, retrieve our position by pegging away, year uller year. The whole waY may be settled in a few months, and victory that is prepared to strike the hardest blow will probably be on the side of the Power within the first few hours after the eatbreak of Kostitles.”~Interview in Dally Graphic.
LORD CHARLES HEATSFORD ). "To make the British Fieet equal in fighting strength to its possible enemies (France and Russia) It should be numerically superior by at least one-third, teking classes of ships in their order."-Naval Programme of March, 1893.
ADMIRAL AMMEN and ADMIRAL MAHAN (United States Navy) have both said the British fleet should be strong, because it guarantees the peace of the world. These are | the words of our kinamen and well-wishers.
Mr. CAMPBELL BANNERMAN: "I accept in the fallest and most completa form the doctrina that it is necessary for this country to hold the supremacy of the seas. I accept the doctrine of standard of supremacy that our feet should equal any two other fleets in the world."
LORD SPENCER: "We are a peaceful nation and we wish to remain on good terms with our neighbours but I venture to say that the best policy for this country is to maintain a powerful ravy and in doing so we shall promote the best Interests of the country."-Speech' at Cutlers Fenst, Sheffield.
ADMIRAL SIR JOHN HAY: "We ought to have for every possible ship that any porilble enemy can have another shio or another two ships, to take possesilon of that skip and be responsible for her. Gentlemen laugh at that, hat I assure them that seems to me to be the way in which our navy should be supreme."
No doubt sachs catastrophe as platured by the wilter of the article would at first prove disastrous, and result in much misery; but society would ultimately so-adjust itself, and the working man would probably be much better. off afterwards than he was before, as it would result in the downfall of the "sweating" factory | Chingia monumun system (the curse of England and many other talons) and the possession of the land by the people.

On the 1st of January a great rising of the Hakkan occurred throughout the northem part of the "Bellfal Isle."" For some time rumours bad been alost, and the townspeople had been told by the patriots to hold themselves to readiness to drive the Japanese out of the island. No one took this warning seriously. It was about's a.m, on the 1st when beacon fires the Japaner, Thensands (come say 40,000) were lit as the signal for a general massacre of of armed Chinese soon afterwards surrounded Talpebfa, the capital, and if it had not been for the will surrounding the city there can be no doubt that the Japanese would have fared badly. The gates were, however, soon closed and a siege began, lasting nearly all day.
It has been well known for some time that the Japanese had very few troops in Formosa
accounts stating, only 1,500 men between Keelong, Talpebfa and Hobe—and this who therefore thought it would be an easy task to retake the island. The Chinese residents of the city kaew better, though, and never rose, although if the Hakkas had been victorious there is litle doubt but that they would have joined them, for the Japanese are not loved.
The Japanese Inside the walls of Taipeh were too few to make a sortie, so contented themselves with firing at the rebels from the walls, and so good was their marksmanship that sixty dead were found to one place not too yards from the boundary wall. Strange to say, there were so machine gune In the place, although, fortunately, ister on two field gans were got lala position on the walls. Every Japanese civilian volunteered, and armed him self as best be could, the coolies with pointed | bamboos, the carpenters with shirpened axes, so if the rebus had entered the city, they would have mat with very determined opposition.
Meanwhile Habe (Tamsui) was threatened by a body of Hakkas from the North Hill and

The life of England is an utterly false one, and cannot in the nature of things last.
