IS NOISE A NUISANCE? A regant Paris cablegram to be English journal states that M. Wilrotte, a shoemaker living at Mantrong, claimed too damages in the local Couris because the banging down at three o'clock in the morning of milk churns prevented him from sleeping. The milk dualer contended that tra noites were a rmal, and the Court decided that Era damiges would meet the care. Now what I would like to know why should not the same idea pravall hers? My meaning cannot fad to be clear to those who have bad ie unervable distinction cf passing through Chinatown of an evening to the t soal acompaciinent of tom-tom, crackers and the hoodied other lo ms ef excruciating din which John Chinamen alone can produce? I have known chair bearers who had apparently lost all their powers of lecomotion suddenly become p'ssessed of remarkable energy o hearing the inspiilog notes of the Chinein bagpipa, However, to come to be, real polot at issus, it would take a lot to con. vince one that a Hongkong Judge would award damages merely because the delicate ear of the Westerner is not accustomed to Chinese musi. Perhaps this is due to the accepted theory that the Chinese do not consi- der acisa a qui ance. It is a case of the more
