Other French companies are also having steamers built iii England, tho greater cost of building in France not being compensated for by the building premium. It hi\s been officially announced that in future all German cruisers will'be fitted with turbine engines. It is worthy of noto that Germany is no longer compelled to import turbines from England, but is herself able to nifinulactiii'O as many as may be required. Both in nautical and general circles it will 1)0 received as a matter of ■ interest that the White Star Lino has given another proof of. its consideration for its officers by dccidiiiGr to incrawo tho pay of those engaged' upon it 3 steamers by £1 per month. Apart- from the profession, the travelling public always like to know of good relationship existing between owners and officers responsible for tho control of their ships.

There is some tall? also about'an intended call being made at still another island, which has not yet been exploited for this product'of marine birds, but nothing definite baa transpired in this connection. Within the past few years tho islands have been extensively operated on for supplies of phosphates, larpo quantities of whioh aro brought to tho colonics at fairly short intervals. •
