This little bug is a deadly fellow who shows no brief for those he pursues. He will sooner or later get us all. Past history of World Cruises has proven this fact without a doubtF The wares displayed in the various cities will tantalize us to the point where we will find it extremely hard to resist the impulse to buy ourselves poor during the early days of our journey, but may we take this opportunity of issuing a timely warning,...Go slowly, be canny, WAIT ! Each place we visit is probably noted for some particular type ot merchandise that may be procured to the best advantage there. Because this is so the iEM-Press will, from time to time, offer- suggestions regarding' the articles of special interest to be secured in ports about to be visited. Members of past cruises have extolled the markets of China and Japan. In these two countries an Endless array of wearing apparel and souvenirs fairly dazzle the visitor and can probably be purchased in these places at more advantageous prices than elsewhere,...so again we suggest...go slowly, be canny, WAIT! Each day at noon a blast of the Empress of Australia whistle will be heard. To the Chief Engineer it is a test ; to us it is the time of day. Before arrival at each port a map of that port and its environs will be displayed outside the Cruise Office, " C " Deck aft. A map of Madeira is now on exhibition.

Those who have keen eyesight will be able to detect the rugged outline of the shores of Madeira, which will be about thirty miles away when it first becomes visible. Cruise Members may find the fol- ! lowing suggestions for'Madeira helpful. The Wine of the Island is probably the best known product. We commonly refer to it as Madeira wine, but there are several brands of which Malmsey is the Ltvourite. Next to this come Boal and Serciai, both of which are very:popular. In shopping, embroideries hold the greatest interest and are the best known but lace, silk shawls, basket work, inlaid laurel wood and feather flowers make desirable souvenirs. Our Cruise Family totals 353. Of this number 128 are British subjects, 217 are citizens of the United States, 4 claim Mexico as the land of their birth, 3 claim Germany as their mother country and. 1 comes from Sweden.

A claim that means have been discovered for using heavy oil in ordiniary motor engines is made 'by J- Fi Queeny, Vice-President of the biggest transportation concern in Philadelphia. This is not based on the Disel principle on which most European engineers are j now working. Queeny estimates the use cf fuel oil, if adopted by the 85,000 motor Omnibuses now operating in the United States would effect an annual saving of ten millions stalling, the difference in cost betvveen such oil and petrol being 29% it is claimed. As the new fuel is dry there is no carbon formation in the cylinder valves, it is also stated it will increase by 15% the engines original, horsepower. The greatest importance to the general public is the elimination of carbon monoxide from the exhaust pipe, emanations of which constitute such deadly peril to careless motorists and airmen. The public is watching with amusement the efforts of John Di Rockefeller, Junior to oust Colonel Robert Stewart from the chairmanship of the Standard Oil Company in Indiana. No one questions Stewart's ability to run the company successfully but he was involved in an oil scandal of recent dale and although the jury acquifted him of perjury Rockefeller is convinced that the leadership of the Indiana Company should be in other hands.

The Prime Minister addressing a public meeting in Dundee on Friday night dealing with the industrial outlook stated there is to-day a better tone and more hope in the indus- ( trial world than for some time past. The trend of trade is upward. It is not rapid but it is more widespread than it was. The State can help but the less it tries to manage and control the better it will be for industry. The Premier attached great importance to " scientific discoveries " now in process of application which may be of fche greatest help and mentioned, in particular, the provision of fertilizers from fixation of Nitrogen which he described as the only good thing that came out of the war and liquefaction of coal " which may transform our coalfields." Referring to the industrial changes taking place Mr. Baldwin expressed confidence that the transitional period had now passed and that unless anything untoward occurred definitely better times would now soon be reached.

These pleasant pictures are painted by the Federal Reserve Board in a bulletin summarising 192S chief events.

But little by little the continued raising of the bottom of the Gulf, combined with the accumulation of silt brought down by the great river and its many tributaries, succeeded in building* up the fertile delta land which now stretches southwards from Ayudhya to the shores of the Gulf. This process of winning land from the sea is still going on and, if it continues on the same scale as hitherto, some fifteen huridred years hence Bangkok may become a distant inland town, as far away from the sea as Ayudhya now is. When Ayudhya was founded, in a.d. 1350 the place was a collection of mud banks inhabited by a few scattered fishermen and their families, but some 300 years later we see, on consulting the maps published by the travellers who visited Ayudhya in King Phra Narai's time, that there had sprung up a small town on the western bank of the Menam, at the place where at present the suburb of Dhonburi stands. A small brick fort had also been built there which, for a brief time during King Phra Narai's reign was garrisoned by French troops under the command of General des Purges. [This brick fort is still in existence, the space inside its walls now being occupied by the Royal Naval College.] After the destruction of Ayudhya in 1767, King Phra Chao Tak Sin made Dhonburi his capital and, on his abdication in 1782, King Rama L, definitely fixed upon the place now occupied by the present capital. Bangkok is thus a city of quite recent origin. A meeting of the Travel Club will be held in the Lounge Ballroom tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock.

To all of us it looms on the horizon as one of the most,—if not the most—rinteresting cou- I ntnes on our itinerary, but to two of our Cruise Members its approach stirs up I memories and emotions that go back to a time eight years ago when they paid a visit to this flowery isle and had an ex- I perience when there that, we believe is , unique and without parallel. We refer to John Wyeiiff Lowes Forster, noted Canadian artist, and his wife. In 1920 Mr. and Mrs. Forster went to Japan as Canadian delegates to the World's Sunday School Convention. As such they experienced the most generous hospitality extended to the delegates by all Japanese officials who came in con-, tact with convention members. They were overwhelmed with courtesies and attentions. It was the wish of the Directors, that when the convention was oyer those who had attended might extend some tangible appreciation of the many kindnesses they had en joyed,; to the officials of Japan. What form this should take was difficult to decide till it was brought to the attention of the members that there was among them an artist who had achieved prominence in his own land,..— Canada, also in Great Britain and the United States, and it would be fitting to ask permission to have him paint the portraits of their Majesties the Jimperor and Empress and present them to the palace. In due course tins wras arranged, the portraits were painted in six weeks time and presented to their Imperial Majesties. Mr. Forster's task was a difficult one for the portraits had to be painted without sittings, the artist only being" permitted to view his subjects once. This was arranged on their arrival at the station on their re'urn from a stay at their summer palace at. Nikko, Air. Forster was allowed to place himself where he could see their Majesties as they passed through the depot. He was careful to choose a place where there was a continuous vision of them as they walked towards him, and in that short time he had to make mental impressions strong enough to retain while he was executing" the portraits. These when finished were splendid likenesses. Since that time the subject of the portrait has died and his son is now the Emperor.
