2. After careful examination of this subject, His Excellency concludes that it is clearly not* passible for the British Government to extend protection in Japan, China and Korea to marks registered in Hongkong or in other Colonies, unless the Imperial Government itself con trols cach (registration, ie, unless the marks Aro registered in the United Kingdom. Otherwise, a mark might be registered in Hongkong' either by a British or Non- British firm, which was the exact facsimile of a mark registered in the United Kingdom; and in that case the Imperial Government would be pledged to extend protection, to two", identical marks against each other. This diff- culty could, however, be overcome by requiring that, as in the casa" of letters "patent, trade- marks should not be registered in this Colony until they have been registered in the United | Kingdom.

3. On the other hand, it has beeis represented to His Excellency that the majority of British. merchants in Hongkong deprecale the expense and delny which would be involved by prior registration in the United Kingdom; thải, at their marks are not used in the United King dom, registration there is of no use to them; and that all they desire to obtain by registra tion in Hongkong is the local protection of their trade-marks.

4. As His Excellency realizes that in 'decid- ing this matter the interests of the local British merchants are entitled to his chief considera tion, I am to request a definite expression of 'opinion from. your Committee, as to whether British merchants in this Colony desire by registering their marks in Hongkong merely to secure local protection or whether they desire to secure protection in Chias Korea and Japan as well, and Iam to add that in the latter case. His Excellency is of opinion that prior registration in the United Kingdom will be indispensable as a condition precedent to registration is Hoogkong.I am,

The grounds of the Cathedral were also effect ively illuminated with thousands of Japanese lasterns. Effigies of the Pope in transparency surmounted the main porch and at the Garden entrance to the grounds.

As usual St. Joseph's College was seen to the beat advantage especially when, viewed from the barbour. A mammoth crois in red lights surmounted the enormous pile of building on the southern side, the main elevation also displaying the pretty device of a brilliant star in red. The Robinson Road entrance to the College was decorated with the Papal flag, and the British and Portuguese national colours. Over the flight of steps leading down from the PIGS, AND THEIR TREATMENT gateway was an avenue of light formed by niches of lighted Chinese and Japanese lau- terns: Thefelinge around the College building helped very materially to enhance the effective ness of the pretty display which was greatly ad- mired.

INTERESTINO DISCUSSION AT THE

POLICE COURT.

Those who were present in the Second Police Magistrate's Court last Tuesday were treated to a very interesting, or shall we say "instructive," discussion on the question of Pigs, and how they should be treated." The point the magis. trate (Mr. Wood) was called upon to decide wan whether it could be considered an act of gross cruelty to seize a pig by its ears in order to get it from a junk to the store. Of course, this resulted in a discussion, during which the matter was brought down to a fine point-to the intense Amusement of the spectators.

*

The magistrate asked the sergeant il, in his opinion, he thought it was cruelty to get hold el a pig by the ears: The reply was in the affirmative.

"How would you tell the magistrate con tinued, "when a pig is in pain ?”

"When it is squealing," came the answer.

Colonial Secretary. A boatman was charged by Lance-sergeant The Secretary,

If this view of the matter be accepted the alternatives with regard to which an opinion is invited bave inevitably to be faced, but I am to point out that there is another view in that registration does not confer a right. Rights are conferred by usage. Registration i only one of a number of safeguards to such rights. If the latter view is correct there appears to be no good reason why the.. British Goveromcat should not protect marka registered in Hongkong, but not in the United Kingdom, in so far as to accept that registra», lion as evidence of the claim of prior usage.

Thus in the event of the claims of a mark registered by a British subject only in the United Kingdom conflicting with the claims of a mark registered by a British subject only in Hongkong, it would be possible for the Im perial Government to protect in China the one which could prove rights conferred by prior usage.

"But a pig will squeal even if you touch it with a stick, jan' that so?" his Worship asked The sergeant had to confess that that was right pig would squeal if it was scared,

The solicitar who was engaged for the defence cross-examined the sergeant at lengthandfinally submitted that the charge had not been proved No cruelty had been shown and be asked for the defendabl's discharge. "If I were a pig," he added, to the smiles of everybody, "I would much rather he caught by the cars and thrown overboard than being landed in a crate," which he considered was far more cruel, as in a crate the legs of the animal were usually injured in landing.

His Worship was of opinion that cruelty had been shown, and fined the defendant $25..

Japanese papers report that the Chinese Gov. ernment is eager to improve the Army, and the number of rifies and guns purebared by each provincial government is rapidly increasing, Great importance is now placed by merchants of various countries on the expon of firearms to China, and an acute rivalry has sprung up in the sale of firearms to China, The diversity of nationality of the competitors is evident in the struggle.

This; I think, is the unnal experience to the precipitation of base metal with the gold. when ores of this nature are dealt with, owing Owing to the minute quantities of almost in. visible slimes. which were not wattled with the time, and which coated the zinc and stopped precipitation, it became necessary to introduce. sand filters, which were very effective.

AGITATION,

It was found that a long agitation was not an advantage, a short agitation lasting one hour producing a solution as rich in gold as one which lasted five hours The caual proportion of slimes to solution was 1 to 3.

ZONNAGE ESTIMATES,

I found that if, after decantation, 1 measured the cubic feet of wet slimes in the vat and divided by 30 (= cubic feet per ton of limes) and deducted 33 per cent. of moisture, it gava an excellent agreement with samples taken when the vat was full and in agitaiïón.
