In the Jutland Battle we lost throe battle-cruisers —the Queen Mary, Indefatigable, and Invincible —the aggregated value of which exceeded £5,250,000. In addition to this, we lost three cruisers—Defence, Warrior, and Black Prince — whose cost was £3,750,000; and eight smaller vessels, whose value ranged from £IOO,OOO to £200,000, Thus, our own bill of costs, in destroyed ships of war alone, amounted to more than £10,0000,000, It is stated that there are more ducks in China than in all the world outside it. They are kept on every farm, on the private roads, and on all the lakes, rivers, and smaller streams. There are many boats in which as many as 2,000 are kept. Their eggs constitute one of the most important articles of food. They are hatched in establishments fitted up for the purpose. Some of those establishments turn out as many as 50,000 young ducks every year. Salted and smoked ducks are sold in all the towns, and many of them are exported to countries where Chinamen reside.
