MEETING OF THE NIPPON YUSEN KAISHA.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in- the Nippon Yusen Kaisha took place in the Seiniu Kai-kin at Kanda on the 27th ult. Mr. Kondo Rempei presiding. The accounts and report having heen read, Mr. Kondo delivered an address, describing briefly the growth of the company to its present large dimensions. He explained that by adding halfo million yen to the reserve for equalizing dividends, it would rench a total of 3,300,000 yen, which seemed sufficient for the present, since, unless some" extraordinary contingency occurred, the Com- pany, possessing such a reserve, could confident ly count on paving a dividend of 12 per cent. during the next year and a half. Speaking of the fund for developing navigation and improving the fleet, he insisted on the vital importance of such measures. It would be necessary to adil to the fleet by the year 1907 no less than 16 steamers aggregating forty thou sand tons. The cost of these vessels would be eight million yen, and by setting' aside half a million yen every six months, a fund of six millions would be provided, thus enabling the Company to make the necessary additions without incurring any debts. He therefore trusted that the report and accounts would be passed.

injure her health, etc., then he has noʻright to press her lo cohabit with him; but so long as his behaviour does not prove dangerous in any way he may rightly insist upon the woman living in marital relations with him. The witness further said that when the present dispute arose he tried his best to settle the matter amicably, but without result, and he only indistinctly remembered the fact that 45 shares in the Grand Hotel Company would be given to plaintiff, if the latter agreed to the defendant's proposat.

After enquiries from the bench. Conniel for plaintiff asked the Court to summon Mr. Denison, of the Foreign Office, as a witness and this was acceded to. Proceedings-were- then adjourned.

AMUSING.

It is an amusing experience says the Station- ery Trades Journal, to turn up old magazines and papers, and to read the prophecies of the impossible events which were to lake place in the future. Such a literary production came under our notice the other day; the article was dated 181, and its heading was "Specimen of a Prospective Newspaper, A.D. 4756" "Part of the Northern States of America will take the field against the Southern Provinces early next spring. The principal Northern forces will consist of 1,990,000 picked troops. Colonel Congreve's new mechanical cannon was tried last week at the siege of Georgia. It discharged in one hour 1,120 balls, each weighing 5 cwt. The distance of the objects fired at was eleven miles, and so perfect was the engine that the whole of these balls were lodged in the space of twenty feet square?" A little further on the statement is made, evidently with the strongest sense of the rificulous, that "by means of a new invention, Dr. Clark crossed the Atlantic in seven days." How little did the writer unticipate how near he was, even while he wrote, to the accomplishment-of many of these seeming..

marvels!

GUTTA-PEROHA FROM A

CHINESE TREE,

·

Specimens of a peculiar Chinese plant, known as "Tu-chung," were forwarded to Kew more than ten years ago for examination, with the statement that the tree is cultivated for its bark, which is a mest valued medicine, The plant was named Eucommia ulmoides by Prof, D. Oliver, and the chief interest attaching to it was the presence in the tissues of an elastic gum, resembling caoutchouc or gutta-percha. If the bark be broken across this appears in the form of innumerable silvery threads, and in a later examination Prof. F. E. Weiss, found the yield from the dry bark to be about 3 per cent. Since these preliminary inves tigations further material has been obtained as well as living specimens of the plant, which are at present growing in several botánic gardens in Paris and at Kew, and with these a much more satisfactory examination has been possible (Kew Bulletin),

The order of the plant is difficult to decide wing to its peculiarities, and while Oliver and Baillon agree in placing it among the Tro chodendracea, it is referred to Hamamılidacea by Solereder. Wherever it is placed according to it morphological characters, however, the allied plants do not yield rubber or gutta-percha. The elastic gum produced by the plant is At this point Mr. Kishimoto Tatsuo made

It occurs in every pan of the to high officers of the Company. He claimed plant except the wood and the outer parenchy, that the sum was out of proportion to thematous layer of the young roots. Some preli- amounts get aside for such a purpose by other minary experiments to ascertain the yield and companies, and he moved that it be reduced quality of the gutta have been made by MM. and that it take the form of a salary.
