by Dr. Pearse, he had for the last three minis Leen personally conducting a very interesting experiment for the purpose of sexing how for they could possibly get the Chinese people of the city to throw themselves heartily into the necessary means of sanitation, and how they could bring those means within the power of every householder and every tenant to fairly carry out, and so assist in securing the safety of the people. He had nothing of which to com- plain. He had asked that the worst and poorest district in the town might be handed over to him and the Sanitary Board. They let him have second and Third S reets, where he had since found the people, once they understood what has required, came forward and worked fairly and well and cleaned their houses besides taking
advantage of the opportunities afforded of washing themselves and their clothing and boiling their bed boards. They were aware that within a short time it had been demon- strated that plague bacillus exists in fowls and H.E. took the opportunity of impressing upon the people, especially the poorer classes, the desirability of thoroughly cooking their food, pointing out that by not doing so it was evident they had another means of propagating plague independent of dirt and darkness. If houses were properly constructed and people
were enabled to live otherwise than in a
The new hospital is built in the Renaissance style of architecture, created in red brick and presents a very imposing appearance. The main entrance opening into the reception hall leads to the three ward pavilions constituting the main part of the hospital. The two ad ministrative blocks containing offices, doctors' rooms, dispensaries and stores are on the ground floor, and the nurses' dormitories are situated on an upper flat. In each of the six wards it is proposed to place twenty beds, thus crowded condition and with sunlight and air giving accommodation for sixty patients. In they might hope for a very great diminution addition there is a convalescent ward for an in the plague epidemic. They must remember other seven beds. At the back of the main that in seeking for the causes of the epidemic they were always too likely to seize upon one building is the mortuary which is con-

The servants' quarters, cook houses, wash and other doors by which the disease might enter, disinfecting houses are on the same side. and which it was equally necessary for them The interior of the buildings is executed in to close by proper precautions. On examination modern style, and plastered with Keene's of the insects from the houses in question, especially from Sheng Jung Lane, which had been cleared on account of the number of cases, he found that bugs and spiders, ex- amined by Dr. Hunter, were found to have the plague bacillus in them. He had written anotice and forwarded it to the Registrar General's office to be printed in Chinese, bringing these few simple facts before the people, and im- pressing upon them the 'absolute necessity of
cement. Ventilation, lighting and sanitary arrangements are of the most approved kind, and present-day requirements are met by the structural separation of the lavatories from the wards, as well as in many other minor respects. The memorial stone is placed at the north-west corner of the building in one of the administra- tion blocks and in a cavity in its centre is placed a sealed glass jar containing a copy of a Hongkong paper and coins of the year 1901 comprising a dollar, and so cent, 70 cent, 10 cent, 5 cent, a one cent pieces.
