Thr completion of tfie Yashima give* Japan the fastest and one of the moat powerful battleship! JAPAN'S NATY. afloat. She U of greater displace* ment by about 2500 tons than the Oregoa, queen of the American Navj, and is more than her equal m ererj way as a fighting machine. A sitter ship of the Yashima, the Fuji, v alga ready for service. In addition to these formidable vessels Japan has authorised tour battleships of the Majestic type, three of which are building m Europe and one at home; four first-class cruisers; three second-class ctruiMm of the Yoshino model, one of which is now building at the Union Iron Work* m San Francisco; two tbird-obss cruisers; three tropedo cruisers, a torpedo depot ship, 11 destroyers, 23 first-clabs torpedo boats, 31 second class torpedo boats, 35 third class torpedo boats, and six portable tor pedo boats. Here we have an addi tion to the already large tleet m service of no less than 128 modern vessels of the most serviceable grades, The Japanese navy list as it stands, ox* elusive of these ships and inclusive of the fleet captured from China, has 35 armoured vessels, cruisers, and training shipe, and 29 torpedo boats. Of these fleets but one vessel is a battle ship — the captured Chen Yufen, known now as Chin-Yuen-Go. This fighting ma chine has 7,400 tons displacement, and is not a match, therefore, for the Oregon, but her ability to bring four Krupp twelve-inch guns to bear at the bow, thereby reducing her own target area, makes her an ugly customer m a fight if well handled. All m all, when the present naval programme has been carried out, Japan will have a navy of 187 vessels, exclusive of the auxiliary fleet. " The sensational purchase and resale of Bovril, by Hool y, the celebrated millionaire, will b« HOOIEY AND rra embered (says a "BOTKIL." London correspon dent of the Mel bourne Argus) Qui-e by accident f recently heard the true account of the purchase from the negotiator, Mr Rosa s who is manager of Black and White. He happened to call on the managing director of the old Bovril Company one morning, and began to chaff that gentleman on the.evident good terms he was on with himself. c You remind me of the picture of the cat that ate the canary,' he said. • I suppose this tinpot sort of business of yours must be doing very well indeed V 'Don't ye be sayin' verra much about the teenput beesmss, ma quid fren,' replied the director, * it'll tak two quid meelliuns of your money to buy it.' ' Are you m earnest V asked Mr Ross, changing his tone. Ho was. ' Have you power to sell? 1 He had. ' And what have your profits been V So and so. 'I'll tike i* under offer until to-morrow,' s<iid Mr Ro9S, and straightway ho drovo to Hooley, whom he knew intimately. f JTooley,' he said, f I have bought Bovril for you for two million?,' Hooley was as tounded for a moment, but when he locked into the figures he confirmed the transaction. Asking about the vendors, he said, ' Are they the sort of fellows who will come to dinner with out putting on dress clothes V Ross assured hint that they were. ' Then bring them here to-night, and we will fix it up.' They were brought, and it was fixed up. It is only m London that such things are possible."
