The London School Board have ad dressed a letter to the Home Secretary with reference to INDUSTRIAL the apprenticing m SCHOOLSHIPS the mercantile marine of boys who have been trained m certified indus trial schoolships. Major Skinner, thf chairman of the Shaftesbury, the School Hoard industrial training-ship, haa presented to the Board a report upon the subj ct. He states that d.r --— ing tbe years 1894 95 inclusive 425 boys passed out of the ship Shaftesbury. Of these 206 were sent to sea, leaving 219 who bave never utilised tbe parti cular training for which the ship was intended. Out of the 206 only 49 re mainrd m the mercantile marine, nine m the Royal Navy, and two m ihe Royal Marines ; iv other words, th* sea service of the country retained tbe services f only 14 11 per cent, of the boys during the three years m ques tion. One of the reasons for tbis un satisfacto'y result is that the boys who join the mercantile marine are not apprenticed. They simply ship for the voyage, which is frequently one of only a few week*, and at the end of the voyage a large majority revert to other pursuits, some returning to the ship, but m every ca'-e the trouble and expense of get: ing them to sea has been for practical pur poses wasted. Major Skinner points out that the French Government give the sum of 50f. to shipowners for every lad between the ages of 16 and 20 who makes the first voyage m any s of th Newfoundland ships or coast fishery vess-ls. Tbe .'ffnet of this small con tribution is that numbsrs of boys fl ;c'< from the ports to j >m seagoing ships, and m the coast v.ll_v«es (ho fi hing in dustry is entirely recruited by such means. Rear-Admiral Bos.nquef, lat< Inspecting Captain of Naval heserv. s, I)hs expressed the view that some sud sy 8 tout woul^ be fqunliy successful ir Great Bribain. JVLijor >kinner states that is a mitter of the highest im portance to the country tbat every effort should be made to strengthen the British element m tho mercantile niarinf, and at bis instance the School Board have brought the fac's under the notice of the Home Secretary m the hope that he will see his way to urge upon the President of the Roard of Tr^do that steps be taken to ap prentice m ihe mercantile marine boys who have bien trained m certified m i dustrial schoolships on tho payment by tbe Government of a premium for » period of two. years iv the c\se of each b >y so apprenticed.

SATS-D-ElLi &, feoiit-i £uca- lypti JBxtrncl. j Under the distinguished patronage of Hia [ Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, ab Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded , diploma ab bhe Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extracb the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order thut these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI, EXTRACT, which is recognised by the \ -nedical division of tho Prussian Government j be of perfeotly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to ub through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate :-— lb is proved by teats by the Medical Clinica of the Universities at Bonn and Greifßwald, I'ruesia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Prof eaaor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Moß*ier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are ! saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the •anative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, prsooallcd Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, which are abandoned long since as an nternal adicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their defioienoy m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extracb develops moat freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presenoe of acids. By their baste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If theße crude oils, 80-called euoalypt extracts, are applied by mistake- m cases of oroup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal nfiamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
