BRITISH CONSULATE ROBBED.

The mail delivered recently from Beira brings news of a daring burglary at the British consulate there. It was evident that the thieves had some knowledge of the premises. A cash box was rifled, and the Consul's personal dis- patch-box was placed in a position for removal. However, all Government papers were secure in the safe, which, as the thieves were apparent- ly disturbed, was not seriously tampered with, None of the important Consular documents were missed. It is believed that the object of the burglars was primarily to annex any Govern- ment papers of value. The Portuguese police made several arrests, but at the time of writing no one had been convicted. It was in this building that the British Consular representa. tive was murdered a few months ago.

THE CHINESE PUBLIO SCHOOLBOY.

The streets were crowded with Chinese boys, all wending their way in one direction. Over 1,000 were about to commence their studies at Queen's College, Hongkong. They did not hurry; they walked sedately along, with their books under their arms. There was no boisterous laughter; at the most a reserved smile lit up the face of a boy here and there, as he listened to the conversation of his fellows, There was little variety in the colour and cat of their dress. They wore no hats. Some had brashed all their hair straight back into their

whicLabel bring of waif

the

long quest diffing the shaven from the unshaven territory of their heads, All carried fans. There were name that ran and none that leapt like troutlets in a pool." Such proceedings would have been very adignified, and quite contrary to Chinese ideas of school- boy form. The more sedate and quiet he is in his behaviour, the more he can. ducts himself like a little old

man, more "toney" he is considered to be by his school-fellows, and the more ins school- masters and parents will praise him. In Eng land parents and sons do not always agree as to what virtues are to be admired in a school boy; but in China-they do, and, strange as it may sound to an English boy, Chinese youths nosily go to school with the sole idea of acquir. ing knowledge. Hence the stolid faces of these 1,100 boys as they entered Queen's College. That institution was my destination as well. Having entered the gates, the four coolies lovere my chair, and I at at once inquired of the Chinese ball-porter if 1 could see Dr. Wright, the beadmaster. To this he replied: No can," which being interpreted, meant that i could not see the gentleman for whom I was inquiring. However presented my card, and, after waiting a few minutes, my Chinese friend returned and fired this at me:

immediately went topside, and, having look-Cocksedge, J. H.. ed I saw Dr. Wright, who, in a characteristic way bade me welcome. Shortly afterwards I was walking through class rooms and halls, gaining my first experience of Chinese public schoolboys. The first thing that struck me. was how quiet they all were. We went into class rooms where forty or more boys were studying by themselves in the absence of their master, but we heard no uproar as we approach- ed and there was no cry of "Cave" and a sudden cessation of noise when we entered.

The ages of the boys at Queen's College vary from nine up to twenty-three, and many of them have family caves in the shape of a wife and children al bome. Each year sees a de- crease in the proportion of married schoolboys, and the average age becomes less every year. In its early history boys of all ages were to be found in the school, and it was quite possible to And father and son ron a dead heat for the first prize. Sometimes family rivalry was pro- ductive of dire results, as he following ex- perience of Mr. May, the second master, bears witness. Mr. May had been but a short time at the school when one day he noticed that.a boy was absent, and he made inquiries as to to the reason. The following diolague in Chinese took place :-

Officious Boy: "Please sir, Li-ho-wack isn't well."

Master: "What is the matter with him Officious Boy "His father thrashed him last night, and he is too bad to come to school Lo-day."

Master: "He must have committed a grave fault to merit so severe a thrashing. What did he do ?"

Officious Boy: "Please, sir, he laughed when you caned his father yesterday," The Rangoon Times.

THE RUSSIAN ICE-BREAKER.

As an air-ship' makes its way through the tenuous atmosphere by its lightness, so Admiral Makaroff's ice-b eaker, the Ermack, as des- cribed by Earl Mayo in the Windsor Magazine, farges its way through vast struta of solidified water by sheer weight. The Russian Admiral Assured the Irish robleman that "the future of Arctic and Antarctic exploration, including the discovery of the Poles, will depend mainly on the usa of powerful ice-breakers." Nansen having found it possible to build a ship strong. enough to withstand the pressure of the ice, the ice-breaker turns His defensive into an offensive. Earl Mayo gives a description of the Ermace's progress through Arctic ice. The vessel bas guns through the Spitzbergen region, as thick as any, in the Admiral's judgment, that lies be tween us and the North Pole. Here is the
