And the greatness of the Anglo-Saxons, with all their hypocrisies and latent paganisms, lies in their ability to handle the axe and plough. The Anglo-Saxon farmers are the mightiest con- querors on the face of the globe. French and Cermans can beat them on the battlefield, but not in African jungles and American prairies. Englishmen are possessing the earth more by the might of their axes and ploughs than by that of their cruisers and battleships. With the latter alone, they will soon degenerate into A nation of pirates, as Turka with their superb army alone are like to be a nation of bandits.

MEN OF THE HOUR.
A Sevastopol correspondent states that Admiral Skrydloff has been appointed to com- mand the Baltic Armada which is to be sent to the Far East later in the year to deal with the Japanese fleet. This appointment has long been expected, as Admiral Skrydloff is beyond
question the ablest sailor in the Russian service, and there was clearly no reason for his retention in the Black Sea. Born in 1844, Admiral Skrydloff distinguished himself for the first time in the Russo-Turkish war, when he gained the highest military distinction in the gift of the Tsar, the Cross of St. George. He represented the Russian Navy at the opening of the Kiel Canal, and also at the Diamond Jubilee of the late Queen Victoria in 1897.
General Mistchenko's name has already crop. ped up more than once in General Kuropatkin's despatches, and will probably be heard much more of in the future. The following details of his career are, therefore, to the point:He is 4 years old, and entered the army in 1869.
In the campaign of 1900 against the Chinese He took part in the Russo-Turkish war in 1878.

Whatever might be said of the philosophy of the Christian Religion,.there can be no doubt, whatever that its unique vitality is dan very largely to its strict peace-principle. If war were to decide the victory, Mahommedaniam would have supplanted Christianity long. long ago. War is an allen element in Chris- tianity. No "Defender of the Faith," be he an Oliver Cromwell or a Joseph Chamberlain, ever did any service to promote the true cause by taking up the sword in its defence. Chris- |tianity is strong when it is weak. It loathes to be "deleaded" by a king or a tsar.. Itwolf in a mighty power to overcome the world, and the sword can bring to it nothing but dishonour and discomfiture. Tertullian was right when he said, "When the Lord deprived Peter of the sword, be disarmed all." The fghting.

HONGKONG METEOROLOGICAL
SIGNALS
A NEW CODE.
We have received from the Hongkong Observatory a new code) of meteorological. signals which comes into force at Hongkong on New Year's Day. They are the same as those at present in ure at Shanghai, and will be hoisted on the mast beside the time-bail at
Kowloon Point for the information of mastara of vessels leaving the port. They do not neces sarity imply that bad weather is expected. The signals are as follows:
A coné point upwards indicates a typhodil to the North of the Colony.
A cone point upwards and drum below in- dicates a typhoon to the North-East of the Colony.
A drum indicates a typhoon to the East of the Colony,
A cone point downwards and drum below indicates a typhoon to the South-East of the Colony.
A cone point downwards indicates a typhoon to the South of the Colony.
A cone point downwards and ball below
indicates a typhoon to the South-West of the Colony.
A ball indicates a typhoon to the West of the Colony,
A cone point upwards and ball below indicates a typhoon to the North-West of the Colony,
Red Signals indicate that the centre is believed to be more than 300 miles away from the Colony,
Black Signals indicate that the centre-lej believed to be less than 300 miles away from the Colony.
The above signals will, as heretofore, be hoisted only when typhoons exist in such posis, tions or are moving in such directions that in formation regarding them is considered to be of: importance to the Colony or to shipping lear ing the harbour.
NIGHT SIGNALS.
Two lanters hoisted-vertically indicate bad weather in the Colony and that the wind is expected to veci,
Two lanterns hoisted horizontally indicate bad weather in the Colony and that the wind is expected to back.
The signals are repeated on the flagstaff of the Godown Company at Kowloon, and also, by day only, at the Harbour Office and on H M's Receiving Ship.
LOCAL STORM-WARNINGS.
The Colony itself is warned of approaching typhoons by means of the Typhoon Gun placed at the food of the mast, which is fired whenever a strong gale of wind is expected to blow hare.
