The encourage ment and facilities for keeping clean the bed-boards and other furniture and the provisions of a certain number of baths are not beyond the power of the Sanitary street The organisation of a kaifong, or committee, seems to have been the happiest feature of the late experiment. Whether this system could be extended with advantage, we do not know. It is one which peculiarly suits the Chinese, and it embles the authorities to use the more enlightened men to. instruct the more ignomnt. Ignorance on the side of the natives and too little sympathy on that of the authorities are the chief obstacles in the way of successful co-operation with a view to fighting plague. The authorities have lately made great efforts to mitigate the hardshipa involved by their crusades against disease and dirt. There are hopes that the densest clouds of ignorance around the poor natives may gradually be dissipated by seeking the aid of their better-instructed

ONE of the enclosures among the "papers relating to the investigation of malaria," ele, which we noticed recently in this colman, is a summary of the researches of Drs. STEPHENS and CHRISTOPHERS into native malaria and malarial prophylaxis. Wo quoted the other day what these experts said about the presence of malaria in native children. We wish here to draw attention to a paragraph in the summary following on that about native children. The two doctors state that the condition of extreme unhealthiness (for Europeans) found, par excellence, in West Africa is not determined by climate. The reason is largely to be found in the conditions under which Europians at present five in Africa. "Even on general grounds it would he "well to avoid native huts and hovels.

I was a very interesting ceremony on Monday afternoon when H.E. the Governor formally handed back to the care of the Sanitary Board the block of tenement houses which some three months ago were given over to him in order that be might make the experiment whether he could get the Chinese to help themselves and assist in sanitary measures. It was evident from the words uttered on Monday that no little measure of success was attained, and that the effect produced on the 7,700 tenement dwellers in Second and Third Streets was one which cannot fail to be beneficial, provided that it become duly published abroad. Sir HEGRY BLAKE spoke of the experiment as showing that the Chinese people are not apathetic and that they are ready to help when it is explained to them that their help is necessary in carrying out the ordinary work of sanitation for the people.

Our object in quoting the above was not to compare the malicia of Hongkong with that of the West coast of Africa, but. to show what are admitted to be scine grave dangers arising from the too close proximity of Europeans and natives. It is not only nintaria which can be conveyed from native dwellings to European houses; it is not only mosquitoes which convoy horrible diseases, but fleas, Engs, etc., as well. Are we then, as the Colony continues to expand, to see the future European residents forced to live with the native at their door, ready to infect then and their wives and children with deadly diseases to which they need never have been exposed but for the criminal apathy of past Gorveraments?
