LARGEST COLLIER IN THE WORLD. _ The American Admiralty is just completing the building of a steel collier, which is stated to be the largest collier in the world.

After careful investigation by the Navy Department of the working and the utility of the porhydrometer, an order has been plactid for fitting the vessel with this instrument. It may be cxp'aiued that the parhydrometer is an automatic device for weighing coal. JAPAN'S MERCHANT SERVICE. Th« Nippon Yusen Kaisha. which has offered very effective coniuctition to tonic of the leading English shipping companies trading to the Far East, ii to be a still more■ insistent rival'in the future, states an exchange.

A substantial proportion of the fleet has been built in Japanese yards, while the remaining vessels were laid down in this country, with the exception of one or two which were contracted for in Cermany. With the additional tonnage which is about to come under its control, the standing of the Ninpon Yusen Kaisha will lie increased, and while it is not to be supposed that the main service will bs altered, it is nuitc clear thit. the company's subsidiary itineraries will be extended.
