 The naphtha springs near the River Nootovo. on Saghallen, excel those of Ba- ku in every regard. Seven underground naphtha lakes are there. the area of the largest being 63,000 square metres (75.S2O square yards.)
 Notwithstanding the increased output of the Japanese naphtha industry, Japan must still import foreign naphtha. In 1900 she imported more than 6".OO0.c0O gal Ions. and in 1901 more than G1.000,00O gal Ions. The export from Japan is inconsid- crable, so that the Japanese naphtha does not threaten to become a rival to Sag halien naphtha. On the contrary. Japan promises to become a good market TOT the Saghalien naphtha.
 The development of the oil industry on Saghallen Island will help the rlver navi- gation on the Amur and in the Far East generally.
 The Ministry of Agriculture and Impe- rial Properties has ordered that the thir- ty-three mile line along the southeastern coast of Lake Baikal be acknowledged as actual naphtha producing land It ex- tends from Kuitchuoy to the mouth of river Chernnushan (54 degrees north l1ti- tudel to the north from Svyatoy Moss.

 Englishmen are careful to explain that they have not annexted Egypt: that there is no protectorate, and that official tie exists between the two governments.
 The word ''occupation'' is used to describe condition that has existed since 1882 and in theory Great Britain has never attempted to legalize her position in Egypt. her army is there theoretically at the request of the khedive to preserve the peace and protect his throne, but for twenty years Egypt has been actually governed from London, and more ab- solutely than any British colony.
 Lord Cromer has greater authority than any or the yiceroys or governors of Australia, Canada, India or any other colony.

It Is said that Putnam Bradlee Strong With whom May Yohe (Lady Francis Hope) eloped, the consequent scandal trailing over four continents, has left Paris to take command of a regiment in the Japanese army. Strong is son of eX-Mayor Strong, of New York city and was major in the United States volun- teers. Afterwards he joined the regular army. in which he obtained a commis- sion as captain. He threw up his com mission to elope with May Yohe. who had come to this country with her hus- band, Lord Francis Hope, to i'll a theatrical engagement. Strong and the actress were married in Buenos Ayres.
