THE MANUFACTURE OF LARGE" GUNS IN JAPAN.
The Osaka Asaai states that hitherto no guns larger than 28 cm. for sportars and 2 cm. for cannon-could be manufactured in the Osaka, Military Arsenal. Since 1894 a factory for manufacturing 27 cm. cannon has been in the course of erection, and the machinery has been imported from Europe. The fitting of the machinery has now been completed, and the manufacture of a cannon of 27, c.m. of French steel was recently commenced.

GOLD-SEEKING IN BORNEO.
A correspondent, who professes to have had some experience of gold mining, or gold pra specting in east and south-east Borneo, says that he and three other mining engineers, a short time ago, tonk a thirty days journey in small pralus up the river Kahayan: It had been reported that the Dyaks had been getting alluvial gold in large quantities, but they (the engineers) found this to be absolutely untrue. The rock is anthracite, and in such a country payable gold has never yet been discovered, The writer goes on to say that he has been farther up the siver Kabayan titan white war, and bus virited all the Dyaks old workings. He has, he states, questioned the People as to the quantity of gold they could put

Europe and in the world, the interests of Great Britain and Germany can in many ways be made to run parallel at all, events, that these interests are most decidedly nat antagonistic to one another. Amongst all. Genuan political parties to-day there is a disposition to appreci ate the consanguinity of the Anglo-Saxon and the Teutonic rages-to effect a rapprochement between Germany and Great Britain, and through Great Britain with the United States of American. Even a year ago, certainly I wo years ago, - kuch scheme. would not have been presied for a moment. Liberal and Radical politicians in Germany have always shawn more or less pronounced sympathy for the'emancijuùtyd modes of British thought and action; but tire ondervatives and Jankors of Prussia-have generally, figured England's most envions, and suspicious focs. Political Clinge in Europe and political clans- kes in for seap hive called for widifications of sympathies à sanata the ruling nations of Europe. This age of affairs has been quickly graspert in Berlin, and the immediate future will probably be mild for cementing new arrangements destined to replace the old ones, For some time past leuling personages have been pering the way for these changes, and the unpublished Anglo-German agreement is the first brick laid for the new edifice.
MISCONDUCT OF JAPANESE NOBLES.
In the Japanese Peerage Regulations there is a provision to the effect that whenever the conduct of a noble is such as to bring discredit upon his order, or when he becomes pecuniarily inable to support his title property, a council of his peers, may be nominated by the Throne te investigate the circumstances of the case and make a report to the Emperor. Such a council has now been appointed, for the first time, we believe, in Japanese modern history, to consists of thirteen members. Of course nothing is publicly stated as to the nobles whose affairs are to be the subject of investiga. tion-Japan Mail,"
A NEW EXPLOSIVE.
A new explosive, which has been named kallenite lins been discovered by an Austra lian. The advantages of the explosive, are claimed to be numerous, and it is worthy of note that it has obtained the approval of the Government of Victorin. Mining managers assert that, after blasting with it, men can go back to work more quickly, than after using any other explosive. It contains no non explosive material. The Government chemist calculates that it possesses five or six times the strength of No. i dynamite. Moreover, it can be manufactured at a very low cost. Its absorbent material basis is composed of eucalyptus and ţi- reeleaves, which are very common in Australia. The remaining ingredients are, of course, as yet a trade secret. A most successful experi- ment was carried out quite recently in Sydney, The Minister for Works and others who observed the experiment carried out from a safe distance were all well impressed with the power of kallenite, which is claimed to be an entirely, Australian composition. It is stated that when the Governinent tests are complete, if the hew material is finally pronounced to be as excellent as it now bids fair to be, a manufactory for its production and export will be established in Sydney:
JAPANESE MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRY.
Some very suggestive- remarks about the prospects of industrial enterprise in Japan are inade by the Jiji Shimpo. The comparative chicapnces of skilled labour originally.com. stituted this country's strong point in competi- tion with other Sintes. But that advantage has disappeared, in our contemporary's opinion. Wages have risen 20 rapidly during the past. few years, in company with the appreciation of commodities, that the price of labour in Japan. no longer contrasts, in any very marked degree, with its price in Occidental countries. What manufacturers should now make their chief aim is the development of skill on the part of artizans. There does not, however, appear to be any very plain evidence that progress is being made in that direction. In certain parts of Japan, as Joshiu, Ashikaga, and so on, the apprentice aystem is followed at weaving establishments, and it results that really com- petent workmen are obtained; experts fully, versed in every detail of their trade. But in the matchmaking, and cotton-spinning industries a very different state of affairs, prevailsStatis

Connaitre of the Yokohama Chumley were understood to be elaborating. Kahe had set the example but, as Ms. Fini kilby sta cinetly pointed out at the meeting of ala? Yokohama Chamber, the Kobe project does not appear calculated to work well in tactice. It paide SWATOW. WEEKLY SHIPPING REPORT, instant, at 3 P.M. for the appointment of twn arbiters-a fapanese and a foreigner and it further provides that. in the event of their disagreement, the quei don to be submitted to all timpire. Now, in the great majority of cases, it is strongly pro bable that the arbiters
would disgige. Mr. Kilby says and the Committee of the Chamber endorse his view-that, as a rule, a Japanese approaches the task of abitea tion with a conviction that his duty is to act as advocate for the Japanese party in the dispute, and it thas Ekes that we less right is on the Japanese side: there canno be agreement between tite liters Hence the the net issue of the Kohe plan is that the upes of deciding will fall on a solitary udividual, the t umpire. Such an arrangement may occasionally suceed, but the objections to if are abyious, ! Yokohama's progrdine is different. It con templates the organization of a joint Committe
ten from each Chaunber, which Committee nominates as many of its own members, or of! the other members of the Chunibers, as may seem desirable, to act as arbiters. These arbiters investigate the case, and report their decision, if they arrive at one, to the i Joint Committee, who accept it as sind tei however, the arbiters can
not agree.thes simply submit their investigations and in- dividual opinions to the Joint Committee, and the duty of deciding by a majority vote devolves upon the letter. There is, finally, a provision that in the event of an equal vote in, the Joint Committee, the arbitratiet fall. through, unless the Joint Committee agree to appoint an umpire. On the whole this plan seems the best thai can be devised. There is no apparent reason why it should not work satisfactorily, if the Japanese Chamber of Commerce agrees to cooperate-Japan Mail.
A HARBOUR FOR TOKYO.
A scheme for constructing a barbour at Tokyo was investigated by the Toly Local Government a few years ago, luft was shelved on account of the enormous expenditure, such a work would involve. The scheme has been revived lately, however, by the Tokyo Munici pal authorities through the exertions of the Mayor, who thinks if essential, for the farther. development of the city.
