-RANDOM REFLECTIONS, The weather in Hongkong has provoked mor language than usual this past week. The rain, though necessary, is not always apprevisted in town because of the discomforts it brings and the nicely-pressed, clothes that it spolls, but the disagreeablo conditious down balow are nothing to those which hava prevailed at the Peak. "Enough to driva cun,to muicide” is tho pro- nouncement of more than one victim, but as no kuch contingencies have been reported it may be assumed that the unfortunate ques aro buoyed up with the hope of hotter days. The Water Authority at any rate is not worrying now. Thin fests of a month ago have been washed away.

The chief factor in the decline of the epidemic has probably been the preventive mussures which were ouforesd either in accordance with scintific methods or by the efforts of the people to protect themselves. The decline has not been due to any loss of virulence of the bacillus..
Infostion was introduced into towns and villages by persons actually suffering from plague, or by those in the incubation stage of the discano.
There has been no positive epidemiological evidence to show that the disease has been spread by clothing, merchandise, or other inanimate objects.
