A CHINESE LIBRARY FOR HONG KONG.
WHY NOT AN ENGLISH LIBRARY ALSO?

Mr. Fung Ping Shan made practical start to the scheme. He promised $1,000 and offered the pleasing opinion that the money could easily be raised." "Mr. Li was also optimistic," saya the re- part of the meeting.
In the end--after a little humour from the Chairman-it was decided to tax the members of the Cham- ber, by increasing the anzual sub- scription.
Anyone who knows anything about the Chinese merchants of this Colony will agree that, as a result of the monthly meeting held on October 2nd, 1928, there will be Chinese library in Hong Kong at no distant date. And a very good thing, too.
An English Library.
It is to be most fervently hoped that the Hong Kong General Chain ber of Commerce will follow this most excellent example. It doesn't matter very much who say the wards, but clearly the individual presiding would be" quite a suit- able person Assuming that be made only the slight alteration of word, then his sentiments would appear in prist as follows:

DOCTOR ESCAPES FROM
DEVIL'S ISLAND.
MOTOR BOAT PURSUIT BY GENDARMES.
A telegram to the French Minis ter of Colonies on September 5th announced that Dr. Pierre Bougrat escaped from the penal settlement on Devil's Island on August 30th with two other "lifers," and that gendarmes are pursuing them day and night.
It is understood that the hotar- joug doctor and his two companions slipped away from the island in a pirogue (a hollowed-out tree trunk) which they bought secretly from a Chinese merchant.
They are heading down the treacherous Guiana coast, where many runaway convicts have either been swallowed up by the quick- "sands along the shore or eaten by sharks The gendarmes are pursu ing them in a motor-boat.

Drug Flend.
Dr. Bougrat was the principal of one of the strangest criminal cases in the annals of the French police. As a medical man in good standing with one of the best prac tices in Marseilles, he, gradually became a drug Bend, and lost all sense of decency and self-respect.
The police finally began to hear strange stories of women being robbed while under the influence of angethetics in Dr. Bougrat's office, and when one of the doctor's closest friends, cashier named Jacques Rumebe, disappeared in March, 1925, with a pay roll of £150, the police raided Bougrat's office and found the mammified body in a cap- board that had been papered over.
Bougrat was arrested and charged with murdering Ramebe for the the money, but when he was tried in March, 1927. he fully declared that Rumebe had committed suicide in his office after dissipating the money.
He was convicted of murder and sentenced to life's imprisonment on account of his heroic war record. He was sent to Devil's Island about six months ago..
Special police, accompanied by trained dogs, have been put on the track of Dr. Bougras and his com- panions who escaped from Devil's Isinad perial colony, says an official of the Ministry for the Colonies.
It is supposed that the fugitives will take refuge in the virgin forest round about. but they will have a hard time, as the forest is full of dangers of many kinds,
