' Tho cruiser Challenger has proved her steaming qualities in a run down tho Australian coast from Morcton Bay. to Sydney. Tho actual distaneo covered wan 455 miles, and tho timo occupied was 18 minutes under 24 hours, giving an average of nearly 19 knots a.n hoar. Tho mail train from Brisbane to Sydney takes 28 hours to do the journey. > Tho EniiUra completed loading cargo yesterday forenoon, and sailed at noon for Invcrcargill and Rivcrton. Tho To Anau sailed at noon yesterday for West port and Groymouth, via intermediate ports.

After lying at the Bowen pier for a month or two olio has '>™ n .beached at Deborah Bay, where she will prbbibly remain until sold or otherwise disposed of. Meanwhile the service to tho Heads is maintained by tho Tarewai Bailing threo days a week. 'According to private information from Wellington,, t.lio department proposes to procure another steamer to replace tho Ellon Ballanco. 1 Exceptionally heavy weather,' varied by snow, marked tho voyairo of tho Aberdeen linor Moravian during her recent voyage from Capetown to Melbourne. i? r i'.° safot y aTK ' comfort of passengers Iho ship had to bo run away out of! her course in order to minimise tho severity of .the dangerous seas. Tho wind veered betweon . west-south-west and west-nor'-west, blowing on occasions with hurrieano strength. Hail, snow, thunder, and lightning materially contributed to the unpleasantness of the situation, whilst tho barometer readings wore appropriately low. Just prior to a terrifio "blow" on the 12th i t \& SS " began Ming with remarkable rapidity, only coming to a standstill when it readied tho almost incredibly low of 28.13. It speaks well for the seafaring, qualities of the Moravian, as it also does for the milliner in which eho was navigatod, that no serious ill-effects resulted tho fierce 6torms. In lior " well" deck a largo and valuable shipment of live stock wbb housed, awl the wholo consignment stood its stormy trials splendidly.

SUBMARINE signalling. The American system of submarine signalling -bids fair to fuperaedo most of tho oxisting typos of signals, most of which Jiavo moro or less Gerious dcfectfl, which greatly discount their value in times of stress alid critical danger consequent upon tog?' etc, Tho American and German authorities aro rapidly installing the new on their coastal signal stations, lightships, etc., and are discarding tho 'old bell buoys,_ detonating signals, and othor fur*l>orno signals which have dono duty as such for, years past. Tho big German iinc's wero amongst tho very first to adopt tho submarine signal, and the principal British lines aro rapidly following their example. Up, to tho present time 16 of tbo largest steamers in tho world have had tho apparatus .installed on board, and for several months past tho British Admiralty and'the iioara of Trado luivo been subjected to severe cross-fire from all the leading British snipping journals for their conservative attitude towards the new system, which wilt in all probability become as essential a vessel * equipment as a leadline or a masthead light. With a view to demonstrating its value and efficacy to tho ffavro Chambor of Commcrco, an American compapy "has just arranged to install gratuitously.!! luminous buoy fitted with the submarine bell apWatus in tho Havro roads' for a period of four months,
