The sailing of the cruiser Guichen, which is to take the place of the Chateaurenault in the French Squadron on the China Station, gave rise to very extraordinary scenes.

luckless pedestrian spends his time tripping and stumbling over the cobbles and ditches which abound in that locality with the alter native of stepping into the road and being knocked over by every passing vehicle. It is true that electric arc lamps are planted in the middle of the thoroughfare, but they are so far apart, and so hidden by the foliage of the trees that they are little better than use less. Happy Valley is infinitely worse, how. ever, for in this residential district there is practically no attempt at providing adequate illumination. Yet Happy Valley and the district around Morrison Hill are largely occupied by European residents, who are not always inclined to go to bed at sundown, or remain indoors after dark. It shows that there is something radically wrong some where when any gentleman in a rickshaw is liable to be the victim of an outrage, and is obliged unaided to beat off his assailants and secure his own safety. It may be argued that there is such a thing as collusion among coolles, and that such episodes as 'night attacks are comparatively rare in Hongkong At the same time it must be recognised that such things are at least possible. And while the lack of proper lighting may have a great deal to do with such matters, there is the further question, to be considered-where was the policeman? It is a trite, though. paltry, remark to make that the policeman is always round the corner.
