I was in Nanking in December last.

Mr. Lee was not so eulogistic con- cerning the cell arrangements. The bedding and heating, he remarked, left a good deal to be desired. He re- ceived only two blankets--one to lie on and one as a covering. The cell was by no means adequately warmed. and if heating arrangements were no better on a bitterly cold night the treatment would be most cruel. Mr. Lee also thought that the bath- ing arrangements were open to im: provement. It was not right, he said, that three men (as was the ease with himself and two others) should have to bathe. in one lot of water.

The Colony Net Altogether a Paradise ~--Vast Stretches of Vacant Land, _As nothing in Europe astonishes the New Zealander as much as the crowds, so nothing in New Zealand is so sur prising to the Englishman as the vast stretches of uninhabited land. Even the tourists on coach-roads may easily travel twenty miles with- out passing a single house, says a writer in Macmillan's Magazine. On the road leading to one of the most popular resorts of the North Island, along fifty miles of highway there is but one small inn where the horses are changed, and one Maori village with 'a solitary white teacher for its school. The rest is scrub or swam where wild horses roam, or clea bush where blackened stumps still stand, or ferndand with patches of rough pasture. And to reach the far-famed lakes of the South Island, beautiful enough when they are reached, the coach toils for two whole days through inches -of dust or mud, according to the season, dragging its slow way past miles of seeming desert where even the yel- low tussock-grass is supplanted by thistles or by patches of green lichen resembling nothing so much as ver digris. In New Zealand they appraise land by the number of sheep it will carry, and this is five or six acres to a sheep, and a merino sheep into the bargain. The driver, as hoe passes, flings out letter-bags at the little wayside post. offices, or tucks them into wooden boxes perched by the highway. In this way the post is delivered twice, or® possibly thrice, a week in summer, and once in winter.

"Four foot deep and four foot wide," is the familiar description of roads in "the roadless north," which has a pre-eminently évil reputation in that way; but even in the old settlements southwards walking is often out of the question, not only because there is nowhere to go within walking dis- tance, but also because of the roads and the unbrideed rivers.

It would| be ar ject lesson for them jut the disadvantage that all the colonies are under is that when the fruit reaches there it must be sold. I was telling the people here that if all the colonies equld join in the erection of a commodious cold storage warehouse in London, and then put their fruit and perishables on thes market from time to time, just in suflicient quintities to meet the demand. It would mean millions to the colonies in the long run. As it is, the arrival of a fair shipment means a glut in the hand to mouth existence in the London market, and, of course, 4 matked decline in the prices. Under such circumstances as I suggest the colonial fruit trade be- tween the colonies and: Great Britain would always be a sure thing, and not at all subject to the uncertain conditions that now prevail. Apart from that aspect of the business it is worth considering that none of the col onies would enter into competition with any one of the others.
