Some practical hints for British

For Wil eken on de abest ongineers may often be found in the up-to date reports of the Ame- rican Consular officials in China. JAVA

HAI 1st half May Thus, we may with advantage. ..'HAI...1st half May direct attention to a recent raport sent hi me to his Government by Mr. Contul Charles Williams, of Nanking, who points out the openings that exist for the supply of marine motors on the waterways of China. He states that a recent inquiry from an American firm selling detachable row-boat motors at a very moderate price, caused an investigation to be made of the possibility of the use of such motora on the native craft engaged in forrying passengers and lighter- the ing merchandise across Yangleze River between Nanking and Pakow. The ferrying and lighterage business across the river at Nanking is of great im- portance. The transport of passengers to and fro is carried on by a large steam ferry owned by the Tientsin-Pakow Railway, by four free ferries (native boats) operated by the authorities, and by a considerable number of native sampina, or row-boats. It is for pre on those latter that the detachable row-boat motor frat suggested itself. The guild concerned believes that light and low-priced, row-boat motora could be used very,success- fully, and would doubtless prove profitable; but it is stated that the sampan' owners, under "exist- ing circumstances, would not be able to raise the small sum (about $65 United States gold, deliver- ed) necessary to purchase a motor. The guild suggested, as the only practicable means of selling motors, an instalment plan similar to that followed in the sale of sewing machines, "As to cargo boats, it is believed that the possibilities are brighter for some light motor, powerful enough to propel the boats against the cur rent, which runs about 2 or 3 knots. The oargo boats are of two sizes: Twelve-ton lighters, roughly 48 ft. in length by 8 ft. beam by 5 ft. moulded depth, and 18-ton lighters, 72 It. long by 9 ft. beam by 6 ft. 6 in. moulded depth.

each in use. The chief difficulty in selling motors for use on these cargo boats will be in satisfying the owners that the use of mechanical power is practical and economical. If they can be shown a low-priced motor that is capable of propelling a laden cargo boat against the river current, and can be convinced that it will be more economical then human power, it is believed that a considerable number could be Bold. Unfortunately, however, a practical demonstration is the only way in which the Chinesa can be convinced of the capabili ties of small motore in such service. It is presumed that the ordinary detachable row-bost motor is un- suited for such use in two essen. tiais, namely, it is underpowered, und it is too small to be set up on such a large boat. Whether any motor of a similar self-con- tained type heavy enough for uss on lighters is manufactured is not known. Such a type would offer the advantage of obviating any extensive alterations in the boat

of an ordinary motor.
