His companion died, but Blackburn was rescued, although he lost his fingers and tucs and wis otherwise crippled as the result of his terrible experience.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 18th, Captain W. A. Andrews left this city this afternoon in a little craft named the Dares In cross the Atlantic ocean. He headed direct for the Azores islands, where he expects to stop for a few days to re-provision. This makes the fifth attempt of the captain to cross the ocean in similar small craft, three of which attempts he claims were successful. The bont he is using this time is twelve feet long, five feet wide and twenty-two inches deep. It has been painted black for the purpose, the captain says, of not attracting the attention of whales and sharks as he claims to have had trouble with these monsters during his former trips.

The time has come for Britain, through strongly guarded parties of mining pioneers, to ascertain whether it would pay, commercially to open up a fairly direct strategic line of com latitude 28, between the navigable, river Brah- munication, about 400 miles long, at or about mapootra in India and the navigable junction of the rivers Min and Yangisze.

This unexplored, mountainous strip is suid to contain gold, iron and cosi; but the semi- independent natives will not permit even the Chinese to mine. Through it run south four other great rivers-the Salwin, Meinam and the two western head-waters of the Yangtsze. All four are said to be unnavigable, but the cross route could be connected, south, with the British Bura railways.

Mining pioneers would have to be guarded, on the Indian side by British troops, and on the China side by detachments from British gun boats. China should be amenable to the tem; porary use of forces used to establish a route by which she can be saved from partition.

Great interests are at stake: a stitch in time aaves nine. Britishers in China should promptly try to stir up the home government to make the preliminary mining explorations. If these show that a direct strategic route would pay commercially, Britishers may be secured in their rights. But if Russia be allowed to do minate this route, then the Yangisze Valley lies at her inercy.-China Gazette...
