This machinery, ordered from a British firm, but really ‘made in Ger- |’ and} many,’ was landed hore and despatched to Hangchow, there to be fitted up by the | native authorities in the way they thought heat. Jt’ was pointed out at the pee re contract was accepted.that in the ab of experienged foreign engineers to euperintend ‘tha erection and runzing of the machinery tha best and cheapest resulta would not be obtained, that if such delicate machinery was ontrusted to whose knowledge of engineesing yaraly ‘went beyond a drilling-machine, it-Would cortainly break down, and, if not render- od utterly worthless, it would, at any rate,? cost a large sum gf money to put into working order again, and then only under Europoan supervision, This advico was ignored, as -tho authoritics ware strong- ly opposed, on tho ground of expense, to getting an engineer out with the machinery and engaging with him fo sot-it going and keep it in order for n term of years. After a good deal of bungling and perplexity forolgn aid had at test tu be called in, and a’ Shanghai engineer wag onguged on a three years’ contract, An inspection . of © certain parts Ied this gentleman to the opinion that if-the muachincry was to be run at thie prescribed speed certain: important ‘Alterations would havo to be effected to prdvont serious accident. On two of tho machines his suggestions wore carried out; onthe third Lhey were-not, When the “imuchines were all sct going two ron very smoothly; tho third—without the alterations—eolapsed as he had predic- ted. Tho Chineyo, however, were con- tent te*run the two machines, and when they were about to turn out bright clean dollora and othor silver ecoing they coolly told the engineer that his services would be no longer required. When -he-- mentioned—hia~ three. - years—engag: ment he,was laughed at. Consular ad- vico was obtained and ultimately he Iofe Hangchow city with the determination to take further action. _ He was about de leave for Shanghai. whon a messenger from tho Governor brought him a lettor begging him to retum as tho machinery Thed. broken down ; no more thun ho expetted, as thero was not one skilled‘ person, foreign -or ustive, employed to work or superintend it. Finally tho enginoer returfod, when he was told he could work out tho un- expired period of his engagement if be chosy, sv ‘long as he again put ‘the machinery into working order. This he undertook to do, but his employers were unconifortablé for him that no white man could endure their trentment. However, tho machinery was again set-runnirig, aud it worked very satisfacterily. There was trouble arose ‘solely from want of skilled attention and knowledge of the nice adjust: |- ment of delicate parts ; in shorty that etrict oversight and carefulness of which the average nativa appears to be wholly incap- able. In-tho end, » compromise was afféct- ed, and the engineer finally left Hangchow with a year's full pay, glad to havo done with such shuffling tactics., The machin- ory was again entrusted to coolig black- smiths, and others of that ilk, and asa consequence again stopped working. Tory some time tho wholo of this beautiful plant, costing between Ts. 50,000 and Tis. 70,000 has been lying idle and unattended, and now the Mint authorities have undertaken to ens gage ‘the services of threc oxpert engineers, to leave Germany for Shanghai, On-the other hand the Nanking Mint, avhich is conducted by Eurapeans, ia working splon- didly and turning out very excellent work. The bungle at Hangchow is but one other instance of the inability of tho natives. to- properly work, watoh, and take care.of in tricate foreign machinery, and tholr rooted dislike to engage forcigners for the techni+ cal supervision and direction of industrial undertakings. Hangchow is by no means singular in iuvnishing proof of the truth of thia assertion, and this latest instance is merely quoted in support.—Mercury, ORWICH UNIONS FIRE INSUR- ANCA SUCIETY, Ustasnisauy 17H7, duounr Leguned,.
