The facts regarding the terrible tornado which awept over Shamsen and the "western suburbs of Canton in the early part of April must be still fresh in the minds of our readers. No reliable estimate of the loss of life on that occasion has ever yet been published, and probably it was utterly beyond the powers of the Chi nese authorities to prepare one,
