JAPANESE KEROSINE,
1.
The existence of ""ledimmable water" in Echigo has been known for more than ten cen- turies, though the extraction of kerosite and its purlEcation for purposes of illumination date only from the Messi era. It was in 1388 that machlaes were introduced and the extinction of the all regularly started. Bat for a long time no satif- factory result was obtained. The latroduction of American kerosing machinery, a year or two ago, was the signal for a sudden development of -the todiatry, as may be seen from the following Ichigo, Tormi. Uga Shining bike. Total
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER
THE REBELLION IN THE 'PHILIPPINES.
A gentleman who recently passed through Singapore from Hongkong on bla way to Panang writes us from the latter port under date käib | October as follows :—

Japen imports kerosine from America and Russia to an extent of five to six million y per annum, Parily from a desire to meet als demand with home products and also from the sally tatisfactory returns that SOMG capitalists succeeded in making from this Industry, kerosloe extraction has become very brisk in Echigo. The latest returns of the Echigo petroleum companies record exceptionst profits, the dividends declared by some being as much as 113 per cent, and kona warn less than 20 per cent. The attention of wealthy men being directed in the Industry, seversi new companies were started lately with cophile ranging from 300,esa to 500,000 yan. The criablishment of these compaules has been a great desideratam, for owing to the nature of the industry the companies at work previously stated severe strain owing to their pality capital. Kerotina is chiefly obtained in the five districts of Koshi, Naka, and Higashi Kadik, and Mishima and Kariba. The first distic yields the largest amount of oil at pre- sent, owing to the employment of American machinery. At a depth of less than 100 yards below sex level more than 30 žoku (1 koku➡ 30 70 gallons) can be dally extracted from some wells. The monthly ou pat reaches about 20,000 kodu at present. It is confidently expected that the introduction if similar improvements in other districts will be followed by a large increase in the total output of all in Echigo.
THE RUINS OF PONAPE,
In a former face we published a most interest- log article on Panapo Island and the Caroline Group by M., F. W. Christian; in which after- tion was called to the great rains in the Metala- sim district, which have excited so much interest among specialists. They are ball upon number of small coral Islets, Intersected by numerous waterways more or leas shallow, every year more and more overgrown and choked up with the encroaching mangrove-belt. The largest enclosure is upon the laland of Nantanach. The great cuter wall measures about 215 by 185 feet and about 30 feet in height at the highest point, enginsing an inner wall about So by 60 feet, surrounding & grexi vault or tomb, where excavations plelded rich results in theil Ornaments, ancient adzes and war-axes, spear beads, and countless fragments of broken relics
and bones.
Mr. Christian has now, he believes, solved the mystery of these ruins. They are apparently the prodact of Malayo-Polynesian race, guided In their work by an intelligent minority- probably a small Japanese colony. Then there came a time when a guest invasion from the lands of the South, under a powerful chief named Icho-Kalaka), spread itself over Ponspa' in a realstless torrent. The builders were massacred and the chaumaro, er guild of ‘old men, reposi- tories of the ancient" traditions, answering to the Bards of ancient Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, mat with the same fate at the hands of their savage and merciless conquerors.
This explains the picclty of native traditions, and also the extraordinary admixture of Malayan, Japanese, and Melanesian words in the Ponape language. The subjəland list, containing a few examples fully beats out the deductions drawn by Mr. Christian, na will be seen at a glance im

fomented by acts of violence on the part of the seditlaus, it became necessary to adopt extreme and rigorous measures without taking into ac count justlications or other matters whatsoever which might hamper their rapid and energeile suppression, but taking in view that the fasar rection is suffocated in almost all the provinces of Luza, It has become necessary, for high political reasons and government, to change the system of correction, adopting in its place one more temperate and moderate and, above all, conciliatory, Only by such means can be obtained on the one side just and exemplary punishment, and on the viber and much more important side the re-establishment of tranquilly in the tower, which, amongst other things, they bare last for fear of 1-jadged punishments; that there may be initiated a movement of attrac tion towards the cause of our country on the part of those who might otherwise feel foclined to lavour the rebellion with indifference or other metiver.

He is a fine Inoking fellow in bis coat of red, Ary, and black and he takes care to display himself as much as possible by taking up a position on the tep of some tree and abusing the world in general in the choicest of bird-sling.
