NOTES O8 RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS, Forevidence of the great increase in the tare of wireless telegraphy, one need not look very far, for, almost daily, instances are to be seen of the important part it is now playing in every-day affairs, In our advertising calamus we find that practically all the principal oversea this is will not follow is God's plan of life Follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meckthat than keep thy command without spot, anrebakable, artil their fleets fitted! with a system of wireless telegraphy that has been proved to be capable of carrying on an efficient service under the most adverse conditions, To our news cnlamas too, we are farnished with farther abundant proof of the value of wireless telegraphy, programme.

Here we are interested primarily in the China coast. Japan has three stations, at Otchiishi, Chosbi and Osezaki. Chins has one—that at Shanghai. Compared with (hina, Japan is well served in this respect, s0 the case will be confined to China's supposed needs. The Shanghai station has a sending radios about 400 miles in the most farourircamstances, i.e, at aight, when the air is free from other messages, and the waves are not being frequently intercepted.
Of course, China and Hongkong have " splendid system of Goveroment telegraph, supplemented by others privately owned, and these in ordinary cireomstances prove efficient for the leeds of the people. Bat let us deal with what may be termed exceptional circumstances, although it is bardly correct to say, when telegraphic business is interrupted, that it is Jdoe to exceptional cireamstances because, unfortunately, it is not encommon in certain seasons for lustraments to be rendered useless owing to the ravages of typhoon. One of the Wireless Telegraph Companies has for its motto: " We work when the wires are down." In the past it wold have been of great benefit to many hero if such a method had been available to them. Take ap io-stance that mast be fresh in the minds of readers, that of H. M. 8, Clio when she was overdue at Hongkong. Had telegraph wires been in proper order, there would have been no anxiety as to the Clio whereabouts, or had she boon fitted with wireless telegraphy, she could have communicated with the Astrea that she was sheltering from the effects of the typhoon then raging along the coast. All that, of coarse, ix history, bat it goes to show the value of the new system, and some of the weaknesses of the old system that cannot be guarded const is altai to pavigat ships; and therefore the opinion mariners who know it well command respect. Many of them have pointed out at frequent intervals that at least three more wireless telegraphy stations should be established along the China gested are Steep Island or beea Toatiog. White Dog or Taroaboat (for Foochow) and Lamocks (for 8 This would give a station that could easily be covered by any of the systems now used. The advantages are manifold. Quite apart from the necessity for summoning aid, the meteorological conditions could always be transmitted to the various ports, for all would be interested, and the aloe of this information to the shipping There are many other ways in which wireless telegraphy could be used to good advantage, As stated before, the cost of maintenance is an important factor in favour of the wireless system, for there is no expense in connexion with it that is not present in the management of an ordinary telegraph business; but on the other
