FROM the concession of the Balotji Mine (Celebes) very good reports are to hand. The first result of the search by the Mining Engineer was certainly good coal,, but no gold. This is now amplified by a practical digger, Mr. Aller, who writes that there is good coal and very much rich nuriferous stone. The tem porary search of different hills give reason to believe that gold is to be found in suficient quantities over an extensive area, and the formation of quartz strata on stone strongly ferriferous is, to an expert, the most hopeful that can be found: Various samples will soon be submitted for quantitative analysis, in Singapore, Sourabaya and Macassar. STATEMENTS made by Chinese from Formosa to Amoy, which appear in the Universal Gasette, show that the island is far from being in a peaceful condition. On or about the roth ult. a body of 5,000 or 6,000 Chinese had an engagement with a battalion of between 1,000 and 2,000Japanese troops in which the Japanese lost nearly half their men. Not being success- ful with the rebellious Chinese, the Japanese harrassed the peaceful ones and made things specially unpleasant to them. The rebellion is attributed to the harsh rule of the Japanese, aggravated by exorbitant taxation on all classes, which is double than that levied formerly. This is utterly oppressive to the Chinese inhabitants and drives them to iñanb-
mission.
THE authors of The Marine Steam Engine give the following account of. Thornycroft's "Screw-turbine" propeller, the patent with
which
H.M.S. Sandpiper, is ·ütted :-Mn. Thomycroft in his "Screw-turbino-propeller has adopted guide-blades and added other features having for their object the gradual acceleration of the motion of the water by the screw. In the ordinary propeller the leading edge a is suddenly on the water it meets and,. as we have seen, such sudden action causes loss. In Thornycroft's screw-turbine the screw is made to revolve in a tunnel, and the boss of the screw is of increasing diameter from for- ward to aft, so that the area for the passage of water inside the tunnel is gradually reduced. The water enters the tunnel with the velocity of the vessel, and passing through the diminishing area gradually increases its velocity. The screw is of considerably increasing pitch to suit this gradunt increase of velocity, and at the after end are placed the fixed guide-blades, with a long tail forming a prolongation of the boss to allow of the water gradually returning to the velocity correspon. ding to the larger area.
The thrust on the
fixed guide-blades is found to be considerable, and the whole device forms a propeller which by its principle is able to act on a smaller quantity of water than an ordinary one. It is thus suited to shallow draft vessels, and many steamers for operating on, the Nile have been made on this principle. This propeller is, however, very inefficient when going astern, so that for astern working a separate small, ordinary propeller is fitted. Messrs. Yarrow & Co., in similar boats for the Nile, obtain a light draft by allowing the propellers to rotate. in a tunnel formed in the stern, so that the top of the screw may be considembly out of water, The action of the propellers fills the tunnel, so that the former are fully supplied with water, MESSRS.

WHAT AMERICA SHOULD DO.
(The Critic, gtli Nov) Forty millions of English capital locked up in the. Philippines and remaining in enforced idleness for six months, gives us more than passing interest in the pacification of those islands. It was pleasant to read in a Singapore contemporary to hand by last mail that a first consignment since the war of 140,000 Manila cigars had arrived at the Straits Settlements; but that is very little compared with what might have been, had the conclusion of the war been coincident with the quiescence of the Natives, ***
There can be no doubt that any other method of settlement other than by conciliation will only lead to continuous disorder; and that the best interests of all parties will be served by some friendly arrangement. America would easily gain her legitimate ends and the our propre of the Natives need suffer no eclipse if the right man should be chosen to bridge the breach. Like the Cubans, the Filipinos have no douls: that, in the long run, they could have
compelled Spain, to accept their terms. They accordingly resent any course of, American conduct which seems to suggest the mere possibility that Washington used them merely. for its own ends and now wishes to replace the slack Spanish yoke by the stiff Yankee collar,

What happened during the next half-hour is imperfectly known, but when the train reached Fukuyama at 2.30 the same inorning a horrible discovery-was made,~~ The body of the unfortunate Captain was found with a terrible gash in the throat and with ugly wounds in several other parts. It was clear that a brutal murder had been committed. The other two passengers who had been in the same carriage were missing. The train had only passed, two intermediate stations after these passengers got on board. Immediately the body was found the Police and Judicial Authorities. were summoned to the Station. Examination of the deceased's luggage showed that the murdered man was Capt. N. Adachi, aged forty-five years,, of the 24th Infantry Regiment, who had been in his native town of Tottori on leave of ab sence or account of ill health, and who was then returning to duty at Fukuoka After an hour's delay, the train resumed its Journey, leaving the 2nd class carriage in which the tragedy was enacted at Fukuyama.
The murderers, we are glad to say, were arrested the same night. Not long after the train left Kamogata Station, two men went to a police box in that town and applied for assistance in getting an inn as they were unable to find one at that time of night.
