Our British readers will not be too unbearably com- placent because of Mr. IRELAND's kind comparisons, for some of them have not yet forgotten his unsparing criticism of the administration of Hongkong. There seems to be some doubt as to how to take his remark that "the native of the tropics is not susceptible to the political and adminis WINE AND SPIRIT MERCHANTS,trative ideals of our so-called Western civilization." We take it that Mr. TESLAND does not mean that the tropical aborigine is susceptible to no politi- cal or administrative ideals; vet that Brems to be the contention against which -our correspondent's arguments are directed. It does not seem to us that Western ideals can over be effectively or usefully thrust, OF THE FINEST QUALITY

CANCER RESEARCH IN THE COLONIES.
The Blae Book containing the correspon- danos relating to cancer research in the colonies of Great Britain reached Hongkong gr by the last mail. As might be expected, seeing that the find and scheme, were started not longer age then 1902, there is Kitle more in this first report than an nocount of what was done to secure the co-operation of medical
experts aud colonial governments all over the world, with the premises or other answore that

One of the first informative answers went Home was from Surgeon Wilkam Turner of the Colonial Hospital, Gibraltar, who said :—

This resulte in undue irritation and injury of the genital trast at a stage when its component tissues are as yet immature, and a condition of cell pro- liferation is not up which, at some future time, predisposes to cancer formation.
In regard to the incidence of cancer in the lower animals, I can only state that I have but twice met with such instances, once in a bitch's breast, which I 'omputated for cancer, and again in a cat's lip, which I also amputated for the same lisense,"
Sir H. A. Blake replied that £30 would be placed annually on the estimates as a donation, The only other reply from Hongkong was an acknowledgment from the Hon. Mr. F. H.
