The Foreshore Nuisance. A subject which has agitated the public of Hongkong for years is the abominable condition of the water-front in the Wanghai aad Shaukiwan diatricle at low. tido. Several references, to the disgusting, evil-smelling prac tices of the, bost population in these haunts have appeared in our columns and, as predicted, an outbreak of disense has happened. with which, fortunately, the authorities are coping fairly suÇ- cessfully. The outbreak is attri

ted to the consumptio- i shell-
fish, and although there is "no cocasion for alarm, according to the Medical, Officer of Health
neprot us possible upon suola
an aspect such matters) there is we maintain occasion for energetic Government astion to bring teada condition of affairs which has offended the eyes and nostrils of passers by for many years. Colonel Yoannan, did not over-state the case in the when he slightest degree "thought the foreshore at Shau- kiwan was a positive disgrace to a place like Hongkong.

China's Silk Industry.
The silk industry of China is reputed to be 4,000 years old and for 2,000 rears the country bas baen noted for its silk. Today this product occupies the premier place among its exports, account- ing for 25 per cent of the value of goods sont abroad: At one time Ohind supplied the West with All its silk products; within the last 60 years it still supplied half the trade! It has now been overtaken by Japan and has to be content with less than a third of the world's trade. In 1910 Japan's contribution was 36 per cent., China's 31, Eastern Europe 19, and the Levant and Contral Asia. 11 per cent.The Chinese silk- worm in the most favoured dis- trists is by nature the best in the world, producing naturally from the best mulberry the largest quantity of the finest silk but Ohins has made no attempt to counteract by soientifie remedies.
