Che most striking and impressive consideration is that of possible rail- way construction. These millions must be carried hither and thither these boundless miles must be con- nected by trunk and branch lines, the products and wealth of the interior must be brought to the coast, and the imports of foreign countries must be shipped to inland points.
Then follows, in importance, the improvement of the rivers, canals, and harbors. The difficult problem of keeping within its channel the fre- quent floods of the mighty Yellow River, or Hoang .Ho, must be met and solved in the near future, if the lives of millions of the people are to be saved and a rich area protected from famine and devastation ; the numerous obstructions in the course of ‘the great Yangtze artery must be removed aid navigation protected throughout the year for the obvious advantage to local and foreign trade ; the lesser waterways, like those of the Sekiang in the south and Peiho in the north must be made safe for the regular coming and going of the river and coast craft; the harbors and their entrances at Shanghai, Taku, Newchang and other similar points must be deprived of their “ heaven- sent barricrs;’ roads and highways must be constructed in the neighbor- hood of the chief cities and into the interior; bridges of modern style and strength must be placed across rivers and canals; the many populuus cities must be supplied with electric lights, with water works, with sewerage sys- tems, and their streets must be wid- ened and other corresponding engin- eering changes instituted; the same cities. must be provided and connnect- ed with electric car lines; telephones and telegraphs must be extended : mines of coal, iron, copper, gold, and other minerals and metals, known to exist in large and paying quantities, must be opened and worked and their products brought to interior and coast markets; methods of agriculture must be changed to the demands of new conditions; the old style of construc- tion of business buildings, home dwellings, warehouses, and other structures must give away to archi- tectural materials—Hon. John Barret in The Engineering Magazine for September.
A TRIBUTE TOSEYMOUR.
Captain McCalla, United States Navy, in his report on the movements of the allied forces which, under
Admiral Seymour, attempted the relief of the foreigners in Pekin in June, says :
“] hesitate somewhat to refer to the senior naval officer’s admirable direc- tion of the naval forces acting concur- rently for the relief of the several legacions in Pekin, beth while attemp*- ing to reach the capital over a rail— way partially destroyed and during the
far more difficult and hazardous op r.- tion of falling back from Yang ‘Tsun

lery and cavalry of the Imperial
Chinese army assisted ty Boxers who,
there was evidence to show, had re- cently received arms fiom the arse- nals of China. But Vice-Admiral Sey- mcur’s knowledge and ability are so
eminent, ard his tact and consider- ation so great and constant, that I
may say that the officers and men of the eight nationalties were only too pleased to execute his _ wishes, which were accepted in reality as orders; so that the 2,000 seamen and marines under his command, or associated

with him, became a harmonious body actuated by but one purpose. Sut should fail altogether nm my duty to a brother seaman didl notcall to the attention of the Government the honor which Admiral ,Seymour conferred upon our navy by not hesitating to call upon the officers from the Newark to assist his own magnificent body of blue jackets and marines, the esteem which he showed for our country by assigning me to the charge of the first train and afterwards of the con- struction train; the confidence which caused him to place officers and men from his fleet under my personal com- mand; and his great kindness in_per- mitting his overworked medical officers to care for our wounded, who were, I am mortified to state, without the services of one of our surgeons. During the almost continuous engage- ments with the enemy Admiral Sey- mour was constantly with the advance, and so freely exposed himself that both his own officers and mine feared lest we should be deprived of his conspicuous skill in directing oar movements. It would bea source of unqualified gratification to the officers and men of the Newark, who were asseciated with Vice-Admiral Sey- mour’s command, if our own Govern- ment would offer this distinguished of- ficer some appropriate and tangible recognition of his services to our nation, hs Captain McCalla concludes his ref port by asking that a number 0 foreign officers be offered medals for aiding the United States tu.ces in action. Those mentioned are Captain J. R. Jellicoe, Major J. R. John- stone, Gunnery Lieutenant E. G. S. Crofton, Fleet Surgeon Thomas M. Sibbsld and Surgeons Edward B. Pickthorn and Eric McNamara, all of the British navy; Captain Von Usedom Germany Navy; Captain De Morailes, French Navy; Captain Tchagin, Rus- sian Navy; Captain Mori, Japanese Navy; Lieutenant Sirianni, Italian Navy; Midshipman’ E. Prochaska, Austrian Navy, and C. W. Campbell, of the Btitish Consuiar Corps.
IN THE UNITED STATES.
Lord Roberts m admired in th-4 United States justas much asin Eng; land. The new York Tribune says
“England has a right to be proud of fine exploits which are as stirring as anything in the history of the empire. There has been nothing finer in the military annals than the precision with which Lord Roberts has calculated forces, adapted means toends, and carried into practice the scientific principles of the dynamics of war. The relief column was not too large to be mobile, yet strong enough to do its work; it started at the right moment, when the Boer commandos could not be massed against it, and it arrived at the appointed time. The clearance of the Free State and the advance towards the Vaal, and subsequent movements were ordered with equal certainty of jucgment, and the strategy was even,

Save Your MONEY.
To save your money, by getting more for it, ask your dealer in medicine to show you the new 50 cent size bottle of Jonnson’s ANO- DYNE LINIMENT. It contains over three times as much as the old 25 cent style, which is a great saving to those who use this valu- able family medicine. The superior quality of this old Anodyne has never been equaled.

SWEPT BY FIRE.
The southern portion of Natal is a scene of desolation owing to disastrou® grass fires, which have during the re- cent gales swept the country for miles, wiping out whole natives villages and burning many Kaffirs to death. Many others are dying of fearful injuries.
The grass just now is like tinder, and such was the fury of the gale that the fire leapt roads and rivers, and came upon the natives without the slightest warning. There are two in- stances of whole families being burn- ed to death in their huts. A large number of cattle and sheep were de- stroyed.
In one case a mother and her children were pursued by the flames, and the mother had to abandon a girl of ten to save the younger ones. There is great weeping and wailing among the native villagers, who have lost all. To-day blackness and desola- tion reign where formerly was smiling plenty.
ARMY SIGNALLING.
The Commander-in-Chief in India has issued some severe strictures on the unsatisfactory state of signalling in the native cavalry regiments. In all 40 regiments were inspected, and only 15 have succeeded in attaining a satisfactory state of efficiency. As a general rule there appears to be a dearth of signallers. This is un- fortunate, as India has always been the home of visual signalling, and, as a rule, the native signallers, if not as rapid as the European, have maintain ed a high standard of efficiency. The present war in South Africa has gone far to prove the value of expert signal- ling in the field.
It is not generally known that the loss of the heliographic apparatus was in some respects responsible for the disaster to Col. Carleton’s column at Nicholson’s Nek, shortly before the siege of Ladysmith. The only appar- atus with the column was lost in the stampede of the battery mules. Thus, when the column was called up by helio from Surprise Hill and ordered “to retire on Ladysmith as oppor— tunity might offer,” the commanding officer was unable tereply or to in- form headquarters of the exact nature of the desperate strait to which the column was reduced.
But it is surprising to find that India is backward in this branch of military training, as the whole Army looks to the East for signalling effi- ciency. In fact, in South Africa nearly the whole of the system was eventu- ally transferred to the charge of men with an Indian training.
It is stated that Japan has offered China the services of two prominent jurists toassist her in the pending ins ternational discussio>,

Some of the newspapers spell the name of the Chinese capital Pekin and others Pekinge _Wu Ting-Fang, Chin- ese Mimister to the United States, has been asked to decide which is
right. His reply is as follows: ‘*my; opinion is that Peking is correct, for in the Chinese pronunciat on
its final sound is that of ‘ng’ and not of ‘n’. The French.I believe, write it ‘Pekin,’ because in their pronunciation of the word thus written the Chinese sounds are preserved. But the sp ll- ing in English should be ‘Peking.’ ” In spite of so good an authority as Minister Wu Ting-Fang we think the majority of English-speaking of both Canada and the United States wil continue to spell it without the ‘‘g” as the French co
