WE BEG TO ANNOUNCE
that we can now manufacture on our premises the new Kryptok Invisible bifocal Lena,
The old style of cement bifocals with their disfiguring and annoying dividing line has been supplanted by a new lens with two fodi, the upper portion of the glass for distance and the lower for reading, ground from one single plece of glass.
You who wear two pairs of glasses may now use one pair instead. No one can tell that you wear bifocals. Nosement to blister; no thin segments to lose off.
Call and inspect this line. We grind Kryptoka in regular or torio form. ;

Canton Delta Piracy.. Since the "Tai On":
piracy occur red we understand's Committee, appointed by H.E. The Governor has been considering what meaE- ures may be taken on British river ateamers for the greater security of passengers and pro perty, and doubtless by this time they have made their rooom- mendations. But whatever m888-? ures of protection may be taken on these ships, the Canton Gov- ernment is not relieved of its own obligation and responsibility for rendering its waterways safe for commerce. Their obvious duty is not only to maintain in the highest state of efficiency the large fleet of gunboats and police pinnaces they now possess for patrolling the waterways, but also to do a great deal more than has been done up to the present to search the pirate lairs for firearms. The reports in every instance show the pirates to be well equipped with firearms, and if success is to be won in sup- pressing brigandage and piracy, the authorities must bend their energies to the task of depriving. the brigand population of the weapons they possess. Unti that is done there can be little hope of improvement, Therefore, the sooner the Canton Government strengthens its police control over the population in the riverine towns, and conducts rigorous searches for firearms and makes the possession of lethal weapons. without a licence an offence punishable with extreme severity, we do not see how it is pos aible to hope for the suppres sion of brigandage and piracy.

How, Hongkong Grows, Such indeed is the growth of Hongkong that in the next decade, if it continues, the 600,000 mark in population will be topped, it will be in direct rail communica- tion with Europe, its shipping, will total 30,000,000 tons and ita revenue $10,000,000. The foregoing brief review of Hong- kong's devolopment provides food for reflection. As to the cause of it Hongkong has been made the British headquar-
