MALARIA.
Malaria is a subject of no inconsiderable interest to Anglo-Indians, says the Asian, so that each new discovery regarding its causes or cure is sure to attract attention. An officer of the Indian Medical Service writes to The Indian Medial Gazette claiming that malaria may be cured, or prevented, by the babitual use of line juce.

THE RESOURCES OF CHINA
So much has been written of late as to the resources of China that there is no necessity to enter upon a detailed description of them. New facts come to light every day, but they do not usually make for any radical change in the appraisement of the marvellous lafout wealth with which the country abounds. The fertility of the sail over a large portion of the Empire is probably greater than can be found in any other country over so large an area, with the possible exception of the black foam regions of Siberia. As to the minerals, China contains enough good coal and ion to supply the world for generations. The coal deposits also. have the unique attraction of being so placed that, as regards great areas of them, mining can be carried on with a maximum of result and a minimum of labour. Frequently the coal is either at the surface or so near to the face of a hill that the mineral requires no haulage whatever. Practically all the metals, precious and useful, are found in abundance. Naturally, over such an immense country, the climatic conditions differ greatly. The north of China may be compared to the north of Scotland, only that the summers are very much hotter and drier, while the south is akin to the climate of Spain, or even Morocco. Roughly, there are three zones--northern, central and southern. Staple products are distributed somewhat thus, although allowance must be made for local conditions:-
Northern.Millet and barley. boo, commercial timber.
Central Wheat, rice, tea, sugar-cane, bau-
Southern-Rice, ten, and all sub-tropical
craps.
These divisions, however, are subject to complete differences in the character of the country regarded from west to east. In the western region a complicated mountain system breaks up the country into countless high-level valleys and plateaus, much of it barren, and all with far inferior soil to the rich alluvial plains which constitute the estuaries of the rivers, in the main flowing south-east, and of which the Yangtse-Kiang is the greatest.
"BUFFALO BILL."
TO ESTABLISH A MILITARY COLLEGE,
A Chicago paper makes the interesting state- ment, that Colonel F. Cody, better known as "Buffalo Bill," is about to establish a military college of his own, wherein young men will be trained for war, not in the accepted sense, as at West Point of Sandhurst, but on common sense lines. The location of the college is in the heart of the famous Big Horn basin, where extensive grounds have been purchased and comfortable quarters built. The students are to be initiated into forest and frontier craft, with special reference to Boer and Red Indian. fighting tactics.. The College has already been incorporated and claims among its supporters two retired American Generals. The Colonel hopes that young fellows trained by bim will be given commissions in the army. It is im- possible to conceive such a college receiving any support from the British military author ties, but in America things are different, and may yet possibly see the State College at West Paint broken up, and commissions in the future
