Japsnese Watch cy.taI Industry.

An industry that has been over looked in Japan in the past, writes Consul George N. West. Kobe, Is the manufacture of watch crystals. owing to the fact that it has been the trade custom heretofore to purchase this class of goods in Germany and Switzerland. There is, however, one glasses in large quantities, and this company exports largely to Manila, Shanghai and Hongkong. 1t also sup plies the watch dealers in Japan, Osaka being the distributing centre for the southern and Tokio for the northern section of the empire. This firm does not have one large factory. but at perhaps fifteen places in Osaka it's workmen manufacture the glasses as a home industry. The company does not have catalogues or other lit- erature. as all transactions are done by samples. but 1t makes these glasses to At all sizes of American watches.

PIER sussFRucTuRE
 READY THIS SUMMER
Big Hydraulic predss Will Start Pumping There in About Week.


 At Hartford the full board of the New London Harber Commission held its first meeting for several months. on Wednesday, Gov. Marcus Helcomo was there and the other com missioners present were Chairman F. Valentine chappell of New London. Hon. Thomas F. Noone of Rockville. William IT. Caldwell of New Britain. Acting Mayor Alton T. Miner of New London and H. H. Hamilton of R1dseport were unable to be present.
 The development of the state steam ship terminal at East New London was discussed and satisfactory pro- sFess In every detail was reported, toeether with inquiries from steam ship companies which are eontemplat- ing making use of the big pier when it is completed.
 The matter of a superstructure or set of buildings which will be placed on the stfbstructure of the pier was considered but no definite action was taken favoring any particular type. It is understood to be the policy of the commission to erect buildings as nearly as possible in conformity with the desires of the prospective lessees ana until the latter are known with certainty selection of plans will prob ably be deferred.
 There is said to be strong prob ability that fruit company operating between Central and South America will occupy g portion of the pier, making New London a distributing point for the New England states and Canada. Negotiations looking toward this end are now being carried on. Should these materialize special type of warehouses would be essential for the acccmmodation of the fruit line.
 That the success of the state ter ninal project Is assured in the minds of the members of the commission was evident at Wednesdays meeting. There is understood not to be the slightest question but that plenty of business will be available when the pier is ready to receive it.
 An hydraulic dredge belonging to a Providence firm is expected the end of the week. The operation will be a feature of the terminal construc- ton. Its work vii be the pumping of excayated material. more than 5000 feet to be used in retaining 20 acres of land within the stonework of the pier now covered by water.
 1t is now anticipated that the sub- structure of the pier will be fully completed late this summer or early in the fall
