1t is surely very wild talk to assert that
China is anxious to come to blows with
France on account of Siam. The Celestials
would like to kick both France and Eng
land out Of the region, as intruders who
have no business there, but their ability to
perform the feat Is far from assuring.
Siam itself is absolutely powerless. What
little vitality she had has been crushed out
by the events OF the recent so-called war.
and England's part has been confined to
looking on and doing what was possible to
provide buffer province between herself
and France. Were China in position to
strike. she would have tnterfered some
time ago, but her methods have taken the
usual course Of patient waiting. With
splendid raw material for armies, and ten
men for every one a European power could
put in the field. China is yet utterly lack
ing III organization, equipment, plans and
leaders. Some day she may wake up to
her potentiality, and then Europe may
quake, but thus far there are nc signs of
the awaking. 1t may take a century to
move China out OF its rut OF stagnatiOn Of
progress.
1t is mistake to say that the naves of
France and Russia are at this moment SUI
perior to that Of Britain, but the pro-
gramme of the Gaul and Muscovite will
soon put John Bull in the shade unless he
bestirs himself. The total tonnage OF
England at the close of the year in effect

on time yesterday morning with a ten-page
edition bearing no evidence in It's makeup

threatened entire destruction to the plant.
No forty, sixty or hundred page edition

If il means a contraction of the

THOMAS A. EDDIsoN, the greatest
of all living inventors predicts that
the death of the steam engine is
only a matter of a short time, He
thinks that naturally steam will be
entirely superseded by the electric
current. That the discovery of a
way Of converting coal directly into
electricity will be the turning point
of all our methods of propulsion,
He also says he thinks we will event
ually fly, but not by electricity in
the present state of science,
