transmission of intelligence by letter or message. The out-stations, of which Aber deen, Sow-ke-wan and Stanley may be regarded as the respective centres, are in point of fact entirely isolated from the- city (or more correctly the central police station), and to this may be referred the fact that native pirates, robbers and even murderers elude either for some time or entirely the hands of justice. The erec- tion of an electric wire encircling the entire island has been proposed, but rejected on the score of expense and the necessity of establishing many statione with qualified manipulators, if it is to be of any practical service. There.remains however another plan, simple, compara tively inexpensivo; and apparently com bining several advantages, being capable not only of transmitting secret intelli. gence between the various stations but of notifying to the public, when desirable, the occurrence of any unusual event.

As to the details of this idea we need of course offer but few suggestions. A small weather-proof room with a semaphoris mast, fitted also for signal flags and night lanterns, is the only necessary outlay for the stations. A semaphore is preferable to flags, because it is available in all weather, except when fogs cover the hill- tops. But in case of accident "distance signals" or flags could be easily substi tuted. By night a few lanterns of the simplest description would answer the purpose of making known any very im portant nutter, white signal guns would ble.
