Tu connexion with the London Morning Post comment on Chinn's import trade in discarded horse- shoes, the following information may be interesting. The import of old horseshoes into Shanghai alone has often aggregated as much as Tls. 76,000 a year in value. The commonest use for old horseshoes is the manufacture of Chinese razora and knives. Razors made of horseshoes which have been hastily forged and tem pored for a cheap market often show traces of the old nail holes of the horseshoes in the thick edge of the blade. Old horseshoes seem well adapted for the manu- facture of the Chinese razor.
