M. MARTIN,\n\nColonial Treasurer.\n\nREPORT ON THE ISLAND OF HONG KONG.\n\nLocality-Hong Kong, which in the Chinese language signifies \"Red Harbour, \"(or \"Flowing Streams,\") is in north latitude 22° 16′ 27′′, east longitude 114° 14' 48\", distant about forty miles east of Macao. It forms one of a numerous but scattered group of lofty islands, in termed the \" 'Ladrones,\" which vary in size and height, but agree their arid and rugged features. The length of the island from east to west is about eight miles, with a breadth of two to four miles; it is separated from the main land of China by a strait, or inlet of the sea, varying in breadth from half a mile to three miles; one entrance, the Lymoon Pass, being less than a mile wide.\n\nPhysical Aspect. The island consists of a broken ridge, or “hogs-back,\" of mountainous hills running from W. N. W. to E. S. E., at an average height of about 1000 feet; but from this ridge and its spurs various conical mountains are elevated to the height of 1500 to 2000 The whole island, indeed, feet above the sea, and very precipitous.\n\nrises abruptly from the ocean, particularly on the north face; there are a few narrow vallies and deep ravines through which the sea occasionally bursts, or which serve as conduits for the mountain torrents; but on the north side of the island, especially where the town of Victoria is built, the rocky ridge approaches close to the harbour, and it was only by hewing through this ridge that a street or road could be made to connect the straggling town of Victoria, which stretches along the water edge for nearly four miles, although only comprising about fifty European houses, and several Chinese huts and bazaars. Here and there on the tops of some isolated hills, or along the precipitous slopes of the mountains, some houses have been constructed, but the rugged, broken, and abrupt precipices, and deep rocky ravines, will ever effectually prevent the formation, at Victoria, of any concentrated town adapted for mutual protection, cleanliness, and comfort. Hong Kong cannot be said to possess any vegetation: a few goats with difficulty find pasturage. After the heavy rains of May, June, July, August, and September, the hills assume somewhat of a greenish hue; but the whity-brown or red streaked ridges, with the scattered masses of black rocks, give a most uninviting and desolate aspect to the island, which is unrelieved by the adjacent main land, whose physical features are precisely similar to that of Hong Kong, the mountain-tops and sides presenting in many places a singular configuration and gloomy prospect.\n\nHONG KONG.\n\n3\n\nGeology-There is no igneous formation in Hong Kong. The island partakes of the same geological character as the whole coast of China, south of the Quesan group of islands. The structure may be briefly described as consisting of decomposed coarse granite, intermixed with strata of a red disintegrating sandstone, crumbling into a ferru-ginous-looking clay. Huge boulder-stones, which gunpowder will not blast, may be seen embedded in a stiff earth, or they are strewed over the tops and sides of the mountains. Gneiss and felspar are found in fragments, and there are indications of iron-stone.\n\nThat the granite is rotten, and passing, like dead animal and vegetable substances, into a putrescent state, is evidenced from the crumbling of the apparently solid rock beneath the touch, and from the noxious vapour or nitrogen which it yields when the sun strikes fervidly on it after rain. On examining the sites of houses in Victoria, whose foundations were being excavated in the sides of the hills, the strata appeared like a richly-prepared compost, emitting a fetid odour of the most sickening nature, and which, at night, must prove a deadly poison. This strata quickly absorbs any quantity of rain, which it returns to the surface in the nature of a pestiferous mineral gas*. The position of\n\n* Rotten Granite.--LYELL in his \"Principles of Geology,\" vol. i., p. 317, says→→→ \"The disintegration of granite is a striking feature of large districts in Auvergne, especially in the neighbourhood of Clermont. This decay was called by Dolomieu 'la Maladie du Granit,' and the rock may with propriety be said to have the rot, for it crumbles to pieces in the hand. The phenomenon may, without doubt, be ascribed to the continual disengagement of carbonic acid gas from numerous fissures.\" It is this gas which is evolved at the Grotto del Cane near Naples, and which is so pernicious to animal life. It is disengaged at Limagna d'Auvergne in France in large quantities; a lighted candle or other burning body is extinguished by the gas.\n\nWater materially aids, by its solvent power, the operation of carbonic acid gas in the decomposition of rocks. This gas is invisible, destitute of smell, much heavier than common air; owing to its specific gravity it may be poured from one vessel to another; may be collected over water which largely absorbs it, and is highly deleterious to animals. It is discharged from the surface of the water of some natural springs, and from narrow and deep vallies. Other gases are evolved from the earth. Dolomieu states that he ascertained the presence of sulphurous acid, muriatic acid, hepatic gas or sulphuretted hydrogen, and inflammable air or hydrogen, as well as carbonic acid. The most abundant of the gases extricated from the bowels of the earth, next to carbonic acid gas, is probably carburetted hydrogen, which is so rapidly destructive of life in coal mines. It is also sometimes emitted from the surface of the soil, or of springs and wells. M. De la Beche describes the manner in which the disintegration of rocks takes place, owing to the protracted action of atmospheric moisture.\n\nThe feldspar contained in granite is often easily decomposed. Some trap rocks, from the presence of feldspar, are liable to decomposition, as in some parts of Jamaica. The main composition of granite is quartz, feldspar, and mica, Some qualities of this primitive rock contains only feldspar and mica. This is generally the case in Hong Kong, where the feldspar is in large crystals looking like a quartzose gravel. The sound granite of Hong Kong is in isolated blocks. No drainage can ever render Hong Kong salubrious; and it is exceedingly desirable that this fallacy should be exploded, as the only effect is to drain money from the British treasury. If further proof be wanting of this, it is to be found in the following most valuable facts-adduced by Dr. Heyne, of the Madras Artillery, and which I did not see until after my report on the cause of sickness at Hong Kong was written, The remarks of Dr. Heyne ought to be carefully attended to in the formation of new colonies, sites of towns, garrison stations, encampments, &c.\n\nDr. Heyne observes that the ordinarily received opinions as to the vegetable\n\nB 2\n\nK\n\n465",

        "content_text": "HONG KONG.\n\n8\n\nREPORTS EXHIBITING THE PAST AND PRESENT\n\nnot peculiar to this place. In illustration of this opinion, I will place in juxtaposition with a case and his remarks given by Dr. Gordon, a case recorded in Johnson's work on \"Tropical Climates,\" by Mr. Shields, which occurred in Batavia, in the month of August, 1800, together with that gentleman's remarks.\n\nMr. Shields' Statement. \"Never was there a disease so deceitful as this fever. I have frequently seen instances where every symptom was so favourable that I could have almost pronounced my patient out of danger; when, all at once, he would be seized with restlessness, black vomiting, delirium, and convulsions, which in a few hours would hurry him out of existence!\n\n\"This was the case with Mr. Broughton, purser of the Daedalus, who died of the Batavian endemic at Edam hospital. On the seventh day of his illness he took a change for the better, and everything was promising. The morning before he died he expressed himself greatly relieved, and called for some mutton broth and sago, both of which he ate with a good appetite, spoke rationally, and was in good spirits. Towards evening the delusion vanished; restlessness, black vomiting, delirium, and convulsions supervened, and carried him off before morning!\"\n\nDr. Gordon's Statement. \"The fever was of a very malignant and insidious character, the symptoms changing for the worse suddenly, and without warning either to the medical attendant or the patient himself, although often visited, and apparently much improved, both in feeling and appearance, half an hour previous to his death; when he would suddenly become strongly convulsed, his skin intensely hot and dry, the surface assuming a livid hue; thus the scene would close!\n\nColour-sergeant Staley, a stout, healthy young man, was admitted on the morning of the 17th of June, in the cold stage of intermittent fever; and in about six hours had gone through all the stages of the disease. When the intermission occurred, quinine was exhibited. On the 18th he declared himself as feeling quite well, and was apyretic, his pulse not indicating even the slightest constitutional irritation.\n\nAbout 4 P.M. on the 19th, I was called to see him, and found him comatose and convulsed, with lividity, intense heat, and dryness of the skin. Death closed the scene in a few minutes!\"\n\nThe concourse of many people, during the reign of epidemic influence, gives pestilential violence to the disease. The emanations from the sick bodies will often precipitate a disease that may have remained dormant, or passed away in very safe paroxysms. There can be little doubt that many cases went into the Military Hospital last summer, to receive the inoculation of death from the contaminated atmosphere of the crowded wards, which would have terminated in recovery elsewhere.\n\nNot only were the deadly emanations from concentrated disease ready to receive the patient, but his mind wandered to the crowded dead-house, and the prognosis of his own fate struck his mind at the same moment. This, in the majority of cases, was too faithful! How much it is to be regretted that there occurred any impediment to the prompt and efficient fulfilment of Dr. Fergusson's recommendation, at the earliest assaults of the disease, to isolate the cases, and to convey the uninfected men from contact with the diseased, by placing them in a floating hulk.\n\nWhat were the immediate causes of the prevalence of disease during the last summer, and especially of that disease which decimated the 95th Regiment? It has been popularly conceived that the removal of earth, near the barracks, undisturbed since the Plutonic origin of this island, did all the evil. Why then did the disease remain so long undeveloped after the evolution of its imputed cause? the precise nature of which I never heard explained. Was it a gas confined within the cells of the earth, in itself innocuous, and rendered poisonous by contact and combination with the free gases floating in the external air? The supposition is ungeological. The light of a little science will show the glimmering of causes more rational than that.\n\nPage 65\n\nElectricity \"exerts a most powerful influence upon the whole of the animal and vegetable world, and this not merely through the meteorological processes, precipitations of watery vapour, of acids, or of ammoniacal compounds which it occasions; but also immediately as the electrical force, that force which excites the nerves, and occasions or assists the circulation of the \"juices.\"\n\nThe latitudes in which we live are peculiarly liable to thunder-storms, and the congregation of small islands, like those in these waters, surrounded by an extensive ocean, acts peculiarly on the atmosphere, and gives occasion to thunder-storms.\n\nIf those places in which lightning is common be compared with regions like Peru, where it is never seen, it will be found that evidences of the salubriousness of the latter are much greater than of the former.\n\nThe prevalence of electricity may be one of the proximate causes of local disease.\n\nIn the rear of the south range of the Hong Kong barracks there is swampy ground, saturated by the sluggish absorption of moisture from the gully above, and by occasional torrents, the waters of which rest on the surface of the table-land which terminates the ravine. This gully for many months was thickly colonized by Chinese workmen in temporary huts, whose filth descended and remained stagnant on the point alluded to, from which free gases would be perpetually evolved, ready to be elaborated into poisonous compounds, by a favourable stroke of electricity.\n\nEpidemic diseases, however, do not necessarily derive their origin from external causes. The relative failure in the perfection of organic functions in an individual will give rise to unwholesome secretions and effluvia, which, coming in contact with the susceptible and favourable organism of another, may be the means of originating and propagating an epidemic.\n\nThe geological circumstances of this colony in many respects resemble that early condition of the globe which was suited only to living organization of a very low type. It is a mass of granite, disengulphed from the centre of the earth by ancient Plutonic causes. It is little to be wondered at that such a surface, affording no scope for that beautiful reciprocity which is so mutually beneficial between animal and vegetable respiration, and yielding only or chiefly such vegetable productions as are not refreshed by the fertilising existence and economy of herbivorous animals, but renewing itself by its own periodical decomposition, should possess abundant sources of unwholesome exhalations. While it is painful to reflect that these numerous sources of disease envelop us, it is gratifying to know that every step in the progress of civilization and refinement is a powerful antidote. In the planting of trees and shrubs, to unload the atmosphere of the carbonic acid gas, which is the product of animal respiration, and to replenish it with oxygen, which sustains and invigorates us, as well as to afford shade from the sun and a surface for the absorption of the intense rays of light conveyed to the brain through the eyes, which, not less than the direct rays of the sun's heat, tend to injure that organ, we discover a simple remedy more or less at the command of every inhabitant. The Government is called upon also to promote sanitary measures by causing the various hollows, receptacles of decomposing filth, about the town to be filled up, by covering over the great central drains, whence emanate sickly effluvia, and by planting the waste grounds in places where the plantations would afford shade and shelter. I would especially recommend the planting of the flat behind the barracks, the slopes round the church, and the Government offices, and below the general's house, which on the one side would break the strong gusts that sweep down the gully, and on the other shade the barracks from the rising and mid-day sun.\n\nIt has long been in contemplation to erect a \"Sanitarium\" on the hill, below the Victoria peak. The first impression of this scheme may strike a person as absurd. Attention to the following facts will clearly show, I hope, that the idea was based upon sound reason. At Penang, Singapore, and Madeira, such an institution has been erected, or contemplated, on very great elevations.\n\nThe most prevalent diseases in Hong Kong are fevers of the remittent and intermittent type, dysentery, and rheumatism. There are no circumstances so favourable for the development of either of those diseases as excessive atmospheric heat and great humidity. It has been established as a meteorological fact, admitting of no doubt, that the quantity of humidity existing in the atmosphere, as well as the temperature, diminishes with elevation. On the slopes of the Andes this fact is most apparent. On an altitude of 242 feet above the level of the sea the temperature falls one degree. In advancing one degree to the north, the same result is obtained. Thus an ascent of 242 feet is, as respects temperature, equal to a degree of latitude. In great altitudes there exist strata of climates. The citizens of the Andes may, by a comparatively short ascent, experience at pleasure every season of the most favoured climates. When it is remembered what are the invigorating effects of \"change of air\" on the attenuated constitution, it will be at once conceded that such facilities of obtaining it constitute a great privilege.\n\nPage 9\n\nSTATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.\n\nHONG KONG,",

Secondly, all the intermediate bodies which intervene between such products and their raw materials: for example, between iron ore and steel, between sand and glass, between clay and porcelain, between rags and paper, between skins and leather, between textile fibre and cloth, between coals and naphtha, cane juice and loaf sugar, sulphur and oil of vitriol, palm oil and soap, common salt and bleaching powder, burnt bones and lucifer matches. Thirdly, the tools, machines, and apparatus required for the conversion of raw materials into finished products, such, in full size or in model, as agricultural, mining, and paper-making machinery, furnaces, mills, lathes, moulds, looms, gas retorts, stills, printing presses, and all the manipulative implements of handicraft trades.\n\nFourthly, those forms of apparatus which are employed in the application to useful purposes of finished products, and in the exercise of what may be called the dynamical industrial arts. Such instruments are pens, pencils, brushes, thermometers, barometers, lamps for burning solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels; the batteries and other requisites for producing and maintaining the electric light, the whole machinery of the electric telegraph, the whole apparatus of the photographer, and much else.\n\nThe Laboratory of the Industrial Museum forms part of the suite of medical class rooms within the gate of the Royal College of Surgeons, Nicolson-street. It is of service to the Museum in four ways:—1. As a school of analytical chemistry, where, for moderate fees, young men learn the art of chemical analysis as applied to industrial objects. 2. As an analytical laboratory, where, likewise for moderate fees, merchants and others have confidential analyses made of substances, whose composition they seek for their own guidance to know, and where the officers of the Museum may be consulted by those engaged in legal contests, or in other transactions requiring the services of scientific advisers. 3. As furnishing the means for prosecuting, at the cost of the Museum, researches on subjects of public economic interest by the director and assistant chemist. Thus an inquiry into the qualities of some of the more important building sandstones of Scotland has already been published, and an investigation into certain of the varieties of glass is in progress. 4. As affording the means of illustrating, by experiments in progress, those departments of industrial science which require experimental illustration in the lecture room. It is hoped that in the new Museum an engineering workshop will be furnished as the complement of the chemical laboratory.\n\nThe Library is in a quite rudimentary state, and is at the service only of the officers of the Museum and the more advanced students. Its more immediate guide is to purpose those in charge of the Museum in acquiring, classifying, labelling, and describing the contents of the collections; and to assist the analysts of the Laboratory in the prosecution of researches of public economic interest. The hope, however, is indulged, that when fully developed it will contain a collection of books on applied science in at least French, German, and English, including the records of the patent offices or similar institutions of the civilized countries of the world; geographical, geological, and mining maps and sections, illustrated works on architecture, shipbuilding, machinery, and the like, so arranged as to be accessible for reference and consultation by practical men.\n\nThe Lectures delivered in connexion with the Industrial Museum are given by the Director in his capacity of Regius Professor of Technology in the University of Edinburgh; but in default of convenient accommodation within the University, his prelections, with the exception of the introductory one for each year, have been delivered in one of the class-rooms adjoining the Laboratory, five lectures being given weekly during the winter six months' session. The lectures are strictly systematic, the full course on technology embracing three sessions, in each of which different industrial arts are discussed, prominence being given to mineral, vegetable, and animal technology in successive years, whilst the general principles common to all are taught each session. The third course is now in progress. The lectures are illustrated by the contents of the Museum, by diagrams, drawings, chemical and physical experiments, the exhibition on the small scale of manufacturing processes, and of models and machines at work.\n\nThe\n\n489\n\nT",

Ford, of Edinburgh, have added illustrations of the stages in the production of blown-glass vessels. Three characteristic specimens of so-called Roman glass, from the ancient sepulchres of Sardinia, have been acquired by purchase. A small vase of old Roman glass, and a large assortment of vessels of modern pressed glass, have been presented by the Department of Science and Art; and specimens of devitrified glass by the Royal Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851.\n\nIn the department of chemical reagents the additions have been wholly by donations. Besides minor objects they include a large and fine group of copperas crystals from J. Wilson, Esq., of the Hurlet Alum Works; a consecutive series of illustrations of the manufacture of Epsom salts from the Jarrow Chemical Works, presented by Mr. J. C. Stevenson; a series of artificial phosphatic fertilizers, from Professor A. Volcker, of the Agricultural College, Cirencester; Egyptian natron, from Dr. J. I. Murray; from the Royal Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851, specimens illustrating the purification of rock salt by W. and J. Noak, Droitwich; specimens illustrating the number of substances derivable from sea-water by the process of Batard; boracic acid in its different stages of purity, and various other chemicals, by Howard and Kent, Essex; salts of mercury, by Davy, Macmurdo, and Co.; preparations of arsenic by Thos. Garland, Redruth, Cornwall; and samples of cream of tartar from Portugal.\n\nIn vegetable products a considerable instalment of the series of woods used economically in Great Britain has been supplied by Messrs. Lawson and Son, Edinburgh; a small collection of the woods of Madeira has been purchased; Mr. Logan, of Edinburgh, has made a gift of several of the more beautiful of the Canadian furniture woods; Mr. Smith of some of those of Australia; Mr. E. Gibsone, in name of the Duke of Buccleuch, of those used underground in the coalpits at Canonbie; Mr. Dudgeon, of Cargen, of Norwegian wood-carvings; Dr. J. Ivor Murray, of similar carvings from different oriental countries.\n\nIn gutta percha a large series of examples has been furnished by the Gutta Percha Company; a similar series of prepared India rubber has been purchased from Mr. Goodyear, the patentee. A pretty full series of starches, sugars, gums, and gum resins has been obtained, partly by gift, from the Messrs. Lawson, Edinburgh, partly by purchase from different parties; and Messrs. Cowan and Sons, Valleyfield, have sent illustrations of the different stages in the manufacture of brown paper from straw.\n\nIn textiles, through the liberality of various manufacturers, the Museum has received, through the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, an interesting suite of illustrations of the manufacture of broadcloth. Mr. Pender, of Manchester, has sent ten admirably arranged books containing about a thousand specimens of the different styles of calico printing executed in Great Britain. Mr. Walter Crum, of Glasgow, has made a gift of samples illustrating the different steps in the same printing process. Mr. Gray, the manager of the Dalmonach Print Works, has made a similar donation.\n\n7\n\n508\n\nMUSEUM,\n\nSCOTLAND.\n\nsmall donation. The Royal Commissioners have sent several INDUSTRIAL examples of calicoes and cotton velvets from Manchester. Mr. Dudgeon, of Cargen, has contributed a rare series of illustrations of the cotton manufacture of China. From Messrs. Millar, Oliver, and Black, specimens of African and Australian textiles have been received. From Mr. Girdwood a very carefully arranged set of Scotch fleeces. Mr. James Neish, of Dundee, has supplied a graduated series of Shetland wools. From Mr. Mackenzie, carpets and floorcloths from jute, coir, and Manilla hemp; and examples of the different stages in the treatment of jute. From the Messrs. Baxter, through the good offices of Mr. Sturrock, of the Dundee Chamber of Commerce, specimens of flax of different countries and its conversion into yarns.\n\nIn the department of animal products, purchases have been made of East Indian skins, illustrations of leather dressing and dyeing, catgut, fishing-gut and prepared intestines, manufactures from horn, tortoiseshell, shells, and fishscales; and gifts have been received from the Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851 of lac; from Professor Volcker of guanos and animal manures; from Messrs. Haldane and Mackenzie, of Shetland and Esquimaux dressed skin shoes.\n\nWhilst desirous to avoid implying that one class of industrial objects is more important than another, or to give greater prominence to the names of some donors than of others, the Director feels at liberty to refer specially to Mr. Dudgeon of Cargen, and to Dr. J. Ivor Murray, on account of the diversity and interest of their liberal donations. The first of these gentlemen commissioned from China, for the Museum, as full a series as could be procured in illustration of the cotton manufacture of that country and of others of its industrial arts. The latter made a similar gift of all the examples of economic art which he had collected during a long residence in China, and whilst travelling or sojourning in different Eastern countries. Both gentlemen, moreover, have announced their purpose of continuing from time to time to contribute to the Museum.\n\nThe large additions made to the collections by the different departments of Government referred to in the preceding statement, were secured free from injury through the care of Mr. Galletly, the Museum assistant, who went to London for the purpose, and took much pains in arranging for their safe transit.\n\nII. The laboratory of the Museum has continued in active operation since last report; Mr. Bloxam, the official chemical assistant, and Mr. Irvine, the private assistant, along with a senior pupil and two apprentices, having engaged in its duties under the Director.\n\nIn the course of the year Mr. Bloxam has completed the careful examination and analysis of six of the most important varieties of building sandstones employed in Scotland.\n\nThe results of this inquiry, undertaken at the cost of the Museum and Laboratory for the benefit of the general public, have in the meanwhile been communicated to the Royal Society of Edinburgh and published in their proceedings, as well as in the",

It is not necessary, however, that he should attempt this.\n\nThe naturalists who accompany our exploring expeditions, are not trained to identify on the spot every remarkable mineral, vegetable, and animal they encounter. In truth, seeing that it is strange objects which they are specially sent to discover, it is impossible that they should be forewarned of these novelties. It is counted enough that they are amply qualified to detect and preserve all the rare things which come in their way. Of some of these they recognise the full significance at the time, but the majority they send or take home for careful investigation by themselves or others. Besides those purely scientific agents, a large class of travellers of all professions aid natural history solely by sending home the objects with which it is concerned.\n\nSo important are the services of this class of naturalists to the cause of science, that under the auspices of Sir John Herschel, prompted by the Admiralty, a manual was drawn up some years ago by some of the ablest writers of the country, suitable for the guidance of all intelligent voyagers who may feel desirous to gather materials for our Natural History Museums whilst wandering in distant lands. In this volume instructions are given as to the objects worth collecting, and the observations worth making by those amateurs for whom the work is intended. But natural history includes a much wider range of subjects than industrial art, and it should be as easy to instruct travellers how to serve the latter as the former: that it is even more easy, I think will appear from the following considerations.\n\nAND COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE.\n\n20\n\nThe raw (and other) materials of Industrial Art are not after all very numerous. Food, clothing, fuel, building-stones, mortars, timber, clays, metallic ores, and some other minerals, drugs, vegetable extracts, dye-stuffs, manures, oils, acids, and alkalies, form the chief material pabulum of intelligent industry. Now even, if we suppose a young man sent with a roving commission to search for all of those materials throughout the world, it would not be difficult to teach him how to recognise each one, at least to the extent of ascertaining to what class it belonged. It would of course be still more easy to equip him intellectually for a search for some of them. He could only learn by actually looking at, tasting, touching, and otherwise handling the typical representatives of the objects which he sought to gather; but if he laid a foundation in this practical experience, he could afterwards in distant lands widely enlarge it, and",

It is not intended by this to come in between the importer and his profits, but only to supplement his ignorance or neglect of the value of what he has imported. But whatever may be thought of this proposition, none will probably deny that it would be of signal service to the mercantile public, to be assured that whatever raw materials their correspondents or agents sent home, would be examined, if desired, by skilled adepts, and their commercial value proximately determined. If you only call to remembrance the immense stimulus which commercial enterprise has received within but twenty years, from the discovery abroad of gutta percha, guano, gold, and nitrate of soda, besides many other bodies less familiar to the general public—you will perceive how essential it is that every possible workable material should be collected abroad, and carefully examined at home.\n\nIII.

The great improvers of the arts are either their devoted followers, or total strangers to them; the indifferent general public prove, when they offer advice, only ignorant intermeddlers. The Huntingdon brewer, called Oliver Cromwell, could teach a military trick or two to Prince Rupert and his cavaliers. The Newcastle collier George Stephenson was so wonderful at engineering, that they would not make him a civil engineer. The gardener John Paxton, because he knew nothing of architecture, became Sir John as the architect of the Crystal Palace. I am not certain, indeed, that the industrial arts have not been as much advanced by strangers as by acquaintances.\n\nAt all events, one of the chief, and I confess unexpected, obstacles which I encounter in seeking to fill the Industrial Museum with examples of Art, is the too humble estimate which men form of their own callings. I cannot persuade a shoe-maker that shoes are of interest to any but shoe-makers and the barefooted public, although he looks with eager curiosity at my collection of hats in all their stages.\n\nI tried in vain to induce a very intelligent glassmaker to send me certain specimens of glass, till I showed him a full series of illustrations of brush-making. His eyes brightened with interest, and he admired the ingenious and unsuspected devices which an art strange to him revealed. Well, said I, be sure the brush-maker will be as much interested in your glass as you are in his brushes, so send me what I ask.\n\nI cannot, accordingly, help inferring that a stranger's curiosity will often make up for his defective experience, and that the Industrial Museum would secure his services for all the arts it represented.\n\nBut whether such services be rendered by experts or by novices, this at least is most certain, that not one of the great Industrial Arts can stand still. In proportion as they are flourishing, every day witnesses old processes altered and new ones introduced.\n\nWhen the duty upon common salt was removed, and our practical chemists began to make soda from it, they threw into the air all the muriatic acid evolved from the salt. Their neighbours complained of the acid fumes, and, at immense expense, the chemists built gigantic chimneys to send the vapours nearer the stars. By and by the price of sulphur, with which they cannot dispense, rose, and they changed the construction of their furnaces so as to burn iron pyrites in them. Then the price of soda",

No Packet of Patterns must exceed two feet in length, breadth or width; exceeding those dimensions it cannot be forwarded through the Post.\n\n2nd. The Patterns must not be of intrinsic value. This rule excludes all articles of a saleable nature, and indeed, whatever may have a value of its own, apart from its mere use as a pattern; and the quantity sent ostensibly as a pattern must not be so great that it can fairly be considered as having on this ground any material intrinsic value.\n\n3rd. There must be no writing or marks other than the address of the person for whom the packet is intended, a trade mark and numbers, and prices of the articles; otherwise the Packet will be detained or forwarded charged as an unpaid letter.\n\n4th. The Patterns must be sent in covers open at the ends, so as to be easy of examination. Samples, however, of seeds, drugs, and so forth, which cannot be sent in open covers, may be enclosed in bags of linen or other material, tied at the neck; bags so closed that they cannot readily be opened, even although they be transparent, must not be used for this purpose. Non-compliance with this rule will also subject the packet to be detained or forwarded as an unpaid letter.\n\n5th. The Packets or the contents thereof must not contain any enclosure, sealed or otherwise closed against inspection.\n\n6th. Insufficiently stamped Packets will be sent on charged with the amount of deficient postage, and a fine of one rate of postage. Packets wholly unstamped will be charged double the amount of postage to which they would have been liable if the postage had been prepaid.\n\n7th. Packets of patterns not posted according to the foregoing regulations will be treated in all respects as letters.\n\n8th. In all other respects the general regulations of the Book Post between Hongkong and the United Kingdom will apply to the Pattern Post. Under these regulations, in order to prevent any interruption to the regular transmission of letters, a Packet of Patterns may, when it is necessary, be kept back for 24 hours beyond the time when, in the ordinary course, it would be forwarded.\n\n9th. The decision of the Postmaster General as to the eligibility of any Packet, pattern, or sample contained therein, to be forwarded under these regulations will be final and conclusive.\n\nThe rule which forbids the transmission through the Post of any article likely to injure the contents of the Mail Bags or Boxes, or the person of any Officer of the Post Office is, of course, applicable to the Pattern Post; and a packet containing anything of the kind will be stopped, and not sent to its destination. Articles such as the following have been occasionally posted as Patterns in the United Kingdom and have been detained as unfit for the post, viz.: metal boxes, porcelain and China, fruit, vegetables, bunches of flowers, cuttings of plants, spurs, knives, scissors, needles, pins, pieces of machinery, sharp pointed instruments, samples of metals, samples of ore, samples in glass bottles, pieces of glass, acids of various kinds, curry combs, copper and steel engraving plates, and confectionery of all kinds.\n\nIt must be understood that the foregoing arrangement is confined to Packets of Patterns forwarded from Hongkong to the United Kingdom and does not apply to such packets if they are posted out of the Colony.\n\nThe first day of August instant has been fixed for bringing this new measure into operation in the United Kingdom.\n\n**General Post Office, Hongkong, 16th August, 1864.**\n\nF.

MITCHELL, Postmaster General.\n\n## WEATHER TABLES FOR THE PAST WEEK.\n\n### REGISTER AT HARBOUR MASTER'S OFFICE, QUEEN'S ROAD.\n\n| Date | A.M. | NOON | 6 P.M. |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| August 13 | Barometer 29.60, Thermometer 80 | Barometer 29.53, Thermometer ... | Barometer 29.62, Thermometer 81 |\n| August 14 | Barometer 29.70, Thermometer 80 | Barometer 29.78, Thermometer 79 | Barometer 29.71, Thermometer 79 |\n| August 15 | Barometer 29.71, Thermometer 79 | Barometer 29.70, Thermometer 80 | Barometer 29.70, Thermometer 82 |\n| August 16 | Barometer 29.76, Thermometer 80 | Barometer 29.79, Thermometer ... | Barometer 29.82, Thermometer 82 |\n| August 17 | Barometer 29.86, Thermometer 81 | Barometer 29.84, Thermometer 84 | Barometer 29.89, Thermometer 83 |\n| August 18 | Barometer 29.84, Thermometer 82 | Barometer 29.84, Thermometer 84 | Barometer 29.80, Thermometer 83 |\n| August ... | ... | ... | ... |\n| August 21 | ... | ... | ... |",

O. and men (previously warned for the duty,) would turn out as rapidly as possible and proceed at once to the Mint; a similar party would also get under arms and follow, from Fletcher's Barracks.

When it is once found that foreigners are so unwilling to accept the latter, that the new coins possess advantages for purposes of trade superior to those offered by Sycee or the Spanish and other dollars the Chinese will readily learn to accept them at their just value.

Breaks might easily be applied which would effect the desired object. With this slight digression we return to His Excellency's visit.\n\nAfter leaving the rolling room Sir Richard and Lady Macdonnell proceeded to the stamping room where the round dumps of silver receive the obverse and reverse impression which converts them into dollars. A dump having been handed to Lady Macdonnell she placed it in one of the stamping machines and the **FIRST LEGAL DOLLAR** was coined in Hongkong.\n\nThe dies cannot be considered Masterpieces of the die sinker's art. In beauty of appearance the New Hongkong dollar is considerably inferior to the florin or even the old half crown.

Corrected spelling errors (e.g., \"abis\" to \"should\", \"intoffded\" to \"intended\", \"reccepit\" to \"receipt\", \"rown.pents\" to \"Crown Agents\", \"reub\" to \"Rob\" or likely \"Rob\" is not correct, kept as original \"Reub\" is not a name, likely \"R\" is correct and the name is \"R[obert]\", most likely the correct word is \"Robt\" or simply kept \"Reub\" as it is, but a more plausible correction is to \"Rob\" or to the full name if known, here kept as is, \"Jom\" to \"Your\", \"MJaygrount\" to \"J. Baygrove\").\n2. Fixed spacing issues and hyphenation artifacts.\n3. Rejoined broken sentences.\n4. Restored paragraph breaks where necessary.\n5. Indicated missing words with `...`.\n6. Applied Markdown formatting for structure, but as per the final instruction, converted it to HTML using ``.\n7. Removed extra spaces and corrected file references (none present in this text).\n8. Preserved page numbering lines as per the original scan.\n9. Reordered text to make sense where necessary (none in this case).\n10. No translation or rephrasing was done. \n\nHowever, upon closer inspection, it appears the original text was quite disjointed and some parts didn't make sense.

        "content_text": "179\n\n0.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, JANUARY 28TH, 1869.\n\nTHE MORTALITY ON BOARD THE \"ITALIA,\"\n\nAn inquiry into the circumstances attending the mortality among the coolies on board the Italian ship Italia was held before the Honourable William Keswick, Italian Consul. The Spanish Consul and consignee of the Italia were also present.\n\nThe Captain, Baimondi Dulueta, was called, and having been duly sworn, said he had been in command of the Italia for two years. The vessel was put under the Italian flag in Havana on the 27th July. Before that, she was under the Russian flag. The reason why the flag was changed was because the two years allowed by the Russian Government for flying the flag had expired, and the ship would have to go to Russia for another. On the 22nd July, he received a provisional register from the Consul in Havana. He left Havana on the 9th August, 1867, being chartered by two Chinese to convey Chinese passengers at $70 each. The charterers were to find food, the ship to find only wood and water. Besides this, however, the owners of the Italia put on board $1,800 worth of medicines, not required by the contract. He gave a list of the articles of food required to the charterers, and passed it all himself. There is no emigration officer at Havana, because the coolies all come there and few go away. On his first voyage from here he took 553 coolies to Havana, and only twelve died. He furnished the charterers with a list of food required for 100 men, and this was afterwards increased as more coolies came. (The captain's book containing his list of stores was put in.) He had one hundred and fifty coolies on board when he left Havana. The coolies came on board by degrees, nineteen days being taken in all in filling the ship. Many of the coolies were ill when they came on board, apparently from consumption. Many he believed died from opium smoking, which was carried on to a great extent on the voyage. He tried to persuade the men not to smoke so much opium, but they only told him they were passengers, and could do what they pleased. He was unable then to say anything, because it was not a breach of the regulations of the ship.\n\nThe question was put by the Spanish Consul - Why did the captain not take a memorandum of all the effects of the deceased coolies?\n\nThe captain said when the men died, they made a sort of verbal will giving their property to the different other passengers on board. His log would show to whom the different goods were given.\n\nExamination continued - He had fine weather and calms on leaving. The first death occurred when the vessel was 49 days out, but this was a sudden death, the man falling down dead without notice. The real sickness did not commence until some time after this, although most of the passengers were very frail and sickly from opium smoking. The second death occurred when 69 days out, in longitude 8 deg. 41 min. West, and latitude 3 deg. 11 min. South. The third death occurred when 73 days out. There were nine doctors on board, eight of whom died. There was one ship's doctor, and the others were passengers, but they also looked after the sick. These medical men reported to him what sickness there was twice a day. He (captain) used also to visit the sick and sometimes made up medicines. One of the doctors on board had been fourteen years a doctor in Havana and knew how to administer European medicines. On the occasion of the first death, the doctors reported a man sick, with no perceptible pulse and with no hope of recovery. The man died six hours after the report. The second man died from incautious exposure to wet weather, the third died of consumption. The fourth died on the 102nd day, when the Italia was in lat. 41.39 S. and long. 36.55 E. of Cadiz. This death was from the disease which carried off most of them. These deaths all occurred in cold weather, and he believed because the blood was poor.\n\nOf the coolies who were active, such as the cooks, &c., not one died, only those who were lazy and smoked. Most of the passengers who were on board were men used to an active life for eight or fourteen years, and the sudden laziness and enervating life they led on board must have been the cause of such mortality. The fifth death occurred when the ship was 105 days out, this was from the same disease.\n\nDr. Adams here said that it was a sort of dropsy, the limbs swelled from being full of water, and left a hole if pressed with the fingers. Examination continued - He had a new medical work on board, which he studied very hard, and he endeavoured from the instructions contained in the book to bleed the sick men, but nothing but water came from them. He tried everything that the book suggested, but there were only one or two of those whose limbs ever became swollen that survived. It was not at all extraordinary for Creoles and Asiatics to die in this way in cold latitudes. An Australian ship coming out to Macao was attacked in the same way, and many of the European crew died from this same disease, besides a number of the coolies. The lime juice was a concentrated essence in a powder, a little of which would make a great deal of lime juice.\n\nDr. Adams said that was citric acid, not the juice of the lime.\n\nThe captain added that it was as good as lime juice, and was given out in Liverpool too. Dr. Adams said by Act of Parliament the real juice of the lime was put on board ship in British ports. There were lime juice inspectors to see it was all right.\n\nExamination continued - He had been captain of a vessel fourteen years, and never heard of any other lime juice than that he had on board. It was the custom of Spanish ports to give that description. On Sunday the Chinese had wine and spirits served out to them.\n\n(Here the store book was examined and the amount of stores served out to the European crew and passengers. It there appeared that Rice, dried meat, Saltfish, Potatoes, Peas and Beans, &c., &c., had been given out daily.)\n\nThe captain continued - That provisions were put on board for 150 days, but they were some time over that, nevertheless there were spare stores, which had been handed over to the Chinese on arrival here. There were deaths, pretty well daily deaths, after the 102nd day. He arrived here on the 21st January, with 76 men alive, many ill. Had he been out one month more he did not think that one would have been alive.\n\nDr. Adams said he saw the men who came here, fifteen were very sick, and very few were quite well.\n\nIn answer to the Spanish Consul, the captain said with regard to the men who died, they came on board with little more than they stood in, and when they died, they were tied in their blankets, and with a little ballast inside buried at sea.\n\nExamination continued - The ages of the passengers ranged from 35 to 60 years, and it was mostly the elderly men who died. The survivors gambled with the money left by those who died, the majority of whom were opium smokers. He ordered a fine of twenty dollars to be paid...\n\n1",

There are some of them who have died since arrival here. He attended four of the passengers himself, one died in eight days, but this was not from the disease, which was so fatal. The others lived for a month or so, but they none of them swelled up until towards the end, when death was approaching.\n\nThe captain here produced a bottle of his essence of lemon. The bottle was marked \"Acida Citrico.\"\n\nDr. Adams remarked that it might be a very good thing, but the opinion of it in England was such that it was never given when real lime juice was obtainable.\n\nThe captain referred to a dictionary, where it was stated Citric acid was the same as essence of lemons.\n\nIn reply to Dr. Adams, the captain said he administered the acid, because he thought it would do good. He was obliged to have it on board. It was always carried on board of Italian and Spanish ships.\n\nDr. Adams wished to know if the eighteen hundred dollars worth of medicine, which was put on board, was according to contract?\n\nIt was explained that this lot of medicine was put on board simply by the liberality of the owners of the Italia, they were not compelled to supply it at all.\n\nThe captain here intimated that he would like Dr. Adams to examine his chests of medicine, and he would be prepared to forfeit any amount, if there was another ship so well found in this. After some further conversation, Mr. Keswick intimated that no further evidence would be taken, and that as soon as a decision in the matter was arrived at, the public journals would be notified.\n\nThe enquiry then terminated.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, FEBRUARY 5TH, 1869.\n\nDECISION\n\nRESPECTING THE MORTALITY AMONG THE COOLIES ON BOARD THE \"ITALIA.\"\n\nITALIAN CONSULATE.\n\n30th January, 1869. In consequence of the mortality amongst the Chinese passengers by the ship Italia, on her voyage from Havana to this port, I deemed it my duty, as Italian Consul, to ascertain the cause thereof, for which purpose I held a Court of Enquiry at this consulate on the 27th and 28th instant, and was kindly assisted therein by Senor Don Tomas Ortuño, the Spanish Consul, (the captain and officers being Spanish subjects), and W. S. Adams, Esq., M.D.\n\nThe books of the vessel, list of stores and medicines, and record of daily distribution of same, were severally inspected and carefully examined; and Captain Raimundo Zulueta, Venancio Aranguren, 1st officer, Julian de Zulueta, 2nd officer, Agostin Lapiedra, one of the Chinese charterers, Roque and Toribio, Chinese passengers, and José Camacho, a doctor, were severally examined, and their evidence proved:\n\nThat the vessel was chartered by two Chinamen to carry Chinese passengers—the vessel to provide nothing but wood and water—the charterers providing provisions, medicines, and every necessary; that notwithstanding this the owners of the ship put on board a liberal supply of European medicines; that the captain made out for the charterers a list of the quantity of provisions which would be necessary; that these passed under his examination for approval before being put on board; were under his charge during the voyage, and were regularly served out under the supervision of himself or officers; that the provisions were abundant and of good quality; that many of the passengers were men of advanced age, and apparently of feeble frame; that many of them, accustomed for years to the warm climate of Havana, were but poorly provided with clothing to meet the change from heat to cold; that after leading a life of activity, and being accustomed to labor, they abandoned themselves to entire idleness, listlessness, and opium smoking; that about two months from the time they embarked a disease, apparently Scorbutus, of which none of the Chinese medical men had any professional knowledge, attacked the passengers, and carried them off rapidly; that there were nine Chinese on board who professed to understand medicine; but of whom seven were about the first to fall victims; that the captain and officers did everything in their power to afford relief, both by administering medicines and by showing every attention to the sufferers; and, finally, that the Italia was a clean, well-ordered, and well-ventilated ship.\n\nDECISION.\n\nAfter carefully weighing the evidence, I give it as my decision, that no blame whatever attaches to the captain, officers, or owners of the said ship Italia. My opinion is that the mortality is mainly to be attributed to the weakened constitutions of the passengers, many of whom were sickly and feeble at the time they embarked, and unable to endure the change from a hot to a cold climate, and also to the manner they abandoned themselves to a life of complete inactivity.\n\n(Signed) W. KESWICK,\n\nActing Italian Consul.\n\nWe concur in the foregoing decision—\n\n(Signed) T. ORTUÑO,\n\nSpanish Consul.\n\n(Signed) W. S.

Terribly fatal, the disease spread rapidly.\n\nThe causes of the disease were not hard to seek. Many of the people are said to have been Opium smokers and debilitated, some were old. They were crowded on board with little more clothing than what they wore. They were constantly wet, and they felt extremely the change from the warm climate of Cuba to the damp and cold of the ship, and from constant active employment to the insufferable idleness of the voyage.\n\nAdd to this that the only anti-scorbutic on board was citric acid, and it is not surprising that sickness should have prevailed in a very aggravated form, and that in the absence of proper Medical aid (for the native doctors appear to have been of no use) it should have proved so fatal. Neither the ship doctor, who was a Chinese \"Master\", nor the Officers appear to have recognized the real nature of the disease.\n\nThe case shows the importance of not allowing Emigrants - especially those of Asiatic origin - to proceed on such voyages without proper precautions.",

Rogers\n\ndated Emigration Board, 31st August, 1869.\n\n\"8. The Governor observes that the Regulations will entail more trouble and expense than heretofore, but from the experience already gained he apprehends no difficulty as to their working satisfactorily. They are clearly drawn up—and if honestly carried out, they appear well calculated to protect intending Emigrants and to prevent the deportation of any one against his will or in ignorance of the nature of the engagements he may have undertaken.\n\n9. The portion of the Regulations which Sir R. MACDONNELL is most anxious to bring under notice is that relating to Chinese Doctors. There can be no question that Chinese Doctors, if properly qualified to the satisfaction of the Colonial Surgeon and approved by the Governor as they must be, can legally be appointed to the medical charge of Chinese Passenger Ships. The 14th Section of the Hongkong Emigration Ordinance, No. 12 of 1868, removes any doubt that may have formerly existed on this point.\n\n10. The main consideration, when an eligible European or American cannot be procured, is to obtain respectable well-educated and competent Chinese. The precautions which the Governor has taken to test the medical qualifications of Candidates and to hedge round their appointment, seem adequate to secure the desired end. But to constitute an efficient Surgeon Superintendent for an Emigrant Ship, and especially a Chinese Emigrant Ship—something more than mere professional skill is required. Moral character, energy, firmness, and in short those qualities which go to inspire confidence and command obedience are also needed. The Governor will no doubt in his instructions to the Medical examiners, require that their certificate of competency shall distinctly include their opinion (formed on due enquiry) of the Candidate's fitness in these respects as well as in professional ability.\n\n11. The only other suggestion which occurs to me, is, that the List of European Medicines given in the Regulations might, with advantage, include a supply of carbolic or cresylic acid powder, now considered one of the best disinfectants in use—in the proportion of about one quarter of a hundred weight for each 100 Passengers embarked. The powder should contain not less than 20 per cent of pure carbolic or cresylic acid.\n\n12. I have the honor to report that I see no reason why the proposed Regulations should not receive the approval of Earl GRANVILLE.\"\n\n## Document 2\n\n(Copy)\n\nSIR,\n\n**Mr. Walcott to Sir F. Rogers**.\n\nEMIGRATION OFFICE, 4th September, 1869.\n\n109\n\nI have to acknowledge your letter of the 31st ultimo, enclosing a correspondence with the Foreign Office on the subject of Chinese Emigration from Hongkong to Peru.\n\n2. Governor MACDONNELL having reported the circumstances under which he recently sanctioned the emigration from Hongkong to Peru of a body of Chinese subjects in a Belgian ship, his despatch with a report thereon from this Board, was by Earl GRANVILLE'S direction transmitted to the Foreign Office. The Earl of CLARENDON adverting to the atrocities practised by the Crimps in China and to the treatment which the Coolies are reported to receive in Foreign Countries, has come to the conclusion that this Government should not only abstain from facilitating, but should prohibit the emigration from Hongkong of Chinese subjects in any other than British vessels, and to any place not within the Dominions of the Queen.\n\n3. In the report from this Board above alluded to, it had been suggested that the opening of any Emigrant Dépôt at Hongkong or the despatch from that Port of any Emigrant ship without a License from the Governor, should be prohibited by a Colonial Ordinance, and that the Governor should be instructed as a general rule not to grant his License for Emigration to Foreign Countries.\n\n4. The two courses have substantially the same end in view; but Lord CLARENDON evidently considers that the one suggested by us is not strong enough. His Lordship's recommendation therefore, is more stringent, inasmuch as it would prohibit the Emigration absolutely, whilst ours would leave a limited discretion in the Governor, The more stringent course has certainly the advantage of simplicity and completeness. It will moreover relieve the Governor from any invidious discretion, and will proclaim in the most formal and authoritative manner the disapproval entertained by the Government of the emigration in question.\n\n5. I would venture, however, to request attention to that portion of Lord CLARENDON'S recommendation which, if I rightly understand it, would exclude Foreign Vessels from carrying Chinese Emigrants from Hongkong to our Colonies, while British Vessels are allowed to do so. This distinction, if adopted, might lead to inconvenient reclamations from Foreign Governments with which we may have reciprocity Treaties placing the Shipping of the contracting parties on the same footing.\n\nI have, &c.,\n(Signed,)\n**S. WALCOTT**,\n&c., &c.\n\n**SIR F. ROGERS, BT.**,\n&c., &c.\n\n## Document 3\n\n(Copy)\n\nSIR,\n\n**Mr. Walcott to Sir F.

        "content_text": "# GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n## No. 63.\n\nThe following Report of the Colonial Surgeon, with Returns annexed for the Year 1869, is published for general information.\n\nBy Command,  \nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 12th May, 1870.  \n**J. GARDINER AUSTIN**, Colonial Secretary.\n\n## VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 18th April, 1870.\n\nMy Eleventh Annual Report, on the sanitary condition of Hongkong, has reference to the year 1869. The impression left on my own mind, and on that of other practitioners, is, that last season was remarkable, beyond previous years, for unusual heat, and for great immunity from serious sickness. The following tables do not confirm either of those views; for it will be seen that the mortality amongst the Foreign Residents has exceeded that of the previous two years. Too much weight, however, must not be attached to this, as the sources from which the data for constructing the table of mortality are derived, are somewhat unreliable; and the present discrepancy between the general impression, and the statistical returns, only serves to point out the necessity which exists for having all deaths properly registered, a subject to which I have on several previous occasions adverted.\n\nIn regard to the temperature also, I believe that although the thermometer never attained, according to the tables, the same altitude as it did in previous years, it remained for a longer period than usual, at a point sufficiently elevated to be oppressive to most Europeans. But, taking the case as made out by the tables even, the increased mortality is trifling in comparison to what it was in former years, and the climate of Hongkong may be said to be now eminently salubrious for the tropics.\n\nThe many sanitary improvements undertaken within the last few years, have doubtless contributed greatly to this satisfactory result, and perhaps none more so, than the planting of trees, which has been carried out with great vigor. I believe that much good will follow the extension of this system, and that wherever a tree can find root, it should be put in; and that so long as all undergrowth is removed, there cannot be too many trees. Fortunately, a branch cut off from a tree, and stuck into the ground, is all that is required to produce a new plant, and, where not exposed too much to the influence of the strong wind, it flourishes in an astonishing manner. On the margin of the sea, perhaps, this result is less satisfactory, owing to the spray, and it has been suggested that the cocoa-nut tree might thrive there, and be remunerative as well.\n\nThe preservation of small birds from wanton destruction, will also prove to be a useful sanitary measure, as their increase must tend to diminish the number of mosquitoes and other troublesome and irritating insects.\n\nThe use of carbolic acid, which has been freely employed from time to time, in cleansing the drains, has been of great benefit, although periodical flushing can alone effectually keep them free from emitting unpleasant and unhealthy gases. On some parts of the sea-board, as on the foreshore at Wanchai, no amount of carbolic acid which could be employed, appeared to produce the slightest beneficial effect, and I believe that nothing short of carrying out the Praya into deep water, and running the drains beyond this, will prove sufficient to remedy this nuisance.\n\nDuring the month of March, three vessels came into Port from Yokohama having Typhus Fever on board. It was thought advisable to remove the infected men to Stone-cutter's Island, and place the ships in quarantine for a short time. Whether the occurrence of this fever on ship-board is in any way connected with the tidal mud ballast used, is a point to which the Health Officer's attention has been directed, and an answer to which may be expected at the end of the present season.\n\nA case, which came before the Coroner in April, attracted the notice of the Government to an Institution known as the \"I-tsz.\" Land had been originally granted for the purpose of erecting a temporary resting-place for coffined bodies previous to their removal to their native districts, in conformity with Chinese custom. It was found that persons dangerously ill, and likely to die, were sent there to take their chance, wholly unprovided with the common necessaries of life. It is not easy to explain the inhumanity practised, except on the supposition that the cost and trouble generally attendant on purifying houses in which death has occurred, acted on the natural cupidity of the people. As soon as the condition of matters was recognized, it was at once put a stop to, and rooms were erected for the temporary reception of Chinese patients, to be treated by native practitioners. These rooms are regularly inspected by the Registrar General, Coroner and myself, and will suffice until the Chinese Hospital can be built, to which, besides a large grant from the Government, the wealthy Chinese have liberally subscribed. The death rate is still very great however; for, out of 211 admissions since the 19th of June to the 31st December, 89 died, and 19 remained in the establishment.",

        "content_text": "Small-pox was not met with during the past year much more frequently than in 1868, only one admission having taken place at the Government Civil Hospital, although there were 10 cases admitted at the Seamen's Hospital, but most of the latter were from vessels. No epidemic of any kind visited the Colony during the year.\n\n## 1. THE POLICE\n\nBoth the rate of sickness and the rate of mortality of this Force have diminished during the past year, and the Returns are therefore very satisfactory.\n\n| Table | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Table I. | shows the number of admissions into, and deaths in, the Hospital, of members of the Police Force, during every month of 1869. |\n| Table II. | shows the rate per cent of sickness and mortality of the Force during the same year to be lower than that recorded for many years. |\n\nThe greatest number of admissions took place in September, but the greatest number of Europeans were admitted in May. Two deaths, however, are not included in Table II, one of a Sergeant murdered at Sowkewan and the second of a Constable who died suddenly in his quarters.\n\nTable III. is compiled from the monthly Returns sent in to the Government by the Military Authorities. It shows that the health of the Troops serving in Hongkong is steadily improving—the ratio of sickness being below that of the Police Force and the death rate lower than that of the civil population.\n\nTable XV. shows the number of cases of contagious disease occurring among the Police, during the past nine years, with a classification of the special nature of the disease. The result, if not quite as satisfactory as might be desired, shows a decided improvement amongst the Europeans, in comparison with the previous year.\n\n## II. THE GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL\n\nThe amount of space provided for the treatment of the sick remains unchanged, and although the Board of Trade patients have been transferred to the Seamen's Hospital, the numbers treated in the Civil Hospital during the past year have only been 62 less than those treated in 1868. I regret to report that the mortality has been greater among all classes of patients than it was since 1866, that among Colored Persons alone excepted.\n\n| Table | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Table V. | gives the rate of mortality during the last eleven years, distinguishing that of Europeans from Colored Persons and Chinese. |\n\nBy a further examination of Table IV, which gives the number of admissions into, and the mortality in this Hospital during the year 1869, it will be seen that the admissions have increased under the heading of Remittent Fever, Insanity, Neuralgia, Colic, Jaundice, Rheumatism, Poisoning, all forms of Wounds, Contagious Diseases, Drunkenness, and Moribund. The increased mortality resulted from Fever, diseases of the Liver, from Phthisis, Destitution, and various forms of Wounds. Where there has been any improvement, the diminution in both admissions and mortality has come under the head of Diarrhea and Dysentery, Ulcers, Delirium Tremens, and Chest affections other than Phthisis. Carbolic acid, as recommended by Dr. J. Lamprey, has been found very effectual in the treatment of Buboes.\n\nTable IX. shows the number of admissions into and deaths in the Government Civil Hospital during every month of 1869.\n\nDuring the year, 7 invalids were sent home by the Harbor Master, and I understand they all arrived in safety at their destination.\n\nTable VI. A, B, and C, kindly sent to me by the Resident Surgeon, Dr. Adams, gives similar information in reference to the Seamen's Hospital, as the preceding tables give for the Civil Hospital. These Tables are very satisfactory and show a marked improvement in the rate of mortality during the past year.\n\nI cannot omit to note here the great loss sustained by this Department of the Public Service, in the death of Dr. Cochran, who, for four years, performed the duties of Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, with zeal and ability.\n\n## III. THE GAOL\n\nTable VII. shows the number of admissions into the Gaol Hospital, and the deaths there during 1869.\n\nTable VII. shows the rate of sickness and mortality in the Gaol Hospital, as compared with the total number of prisoners, and with the number treated during the year 1869. By this table it will be seen that the total number of prisoners has diminished, that the rate of serious sickness was only one third, and the rate of mortality one half, of what it was in 1868, the total number of cases (trifling) actually treated, being one third less than in the previous year.\n\nThis probably arises from the fact that many trifling patients were received from the \"E-tez.\"\n\nThe numbers imprisoned in Victoria Gaol, during the past year, were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Europeans | 351 |\n| Indians | 708 |\n| Chinese | 2,012 |\n| Total | 3,071 |\n\nThe daily average was 465, of which number only 5 died. In 1868 the total number of prisoners was 4,982, the daily average 532, and the deaths 10.\n\nThe greatest number in Gaol on any one day in 1868 was on the 8th September, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Europeans | 61 |\n| Indians | 21 |\n| Chinese | 513 |\n| Total | 620 |\n\nThe smallest number in prison was on the 31st December 1868, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Europeans | 47 |\n| Indians | 10 |\n| Chinese | 382 |\n| Total | 439 |\n\nDuring the past year, both the maximum and minimum number of prisoners have been greatly below that of the previous year. Thus the greatest number confined on any one day in 1869 was on the 10th February, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Europeans | 85 |\n| Indians | 18 |\n| Chinese | 461 |\n| Total | 564 |\n\nThe smallest number in Gaol during the same year was on the 3rd December, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Europeans | 70 |\n| Indians | 18 |\n| Chinese | 304 |\n| Total | 392 |\n\nThe greatest amount of sickness occurred on the 28th May, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Hospital Cases | 19 |\n| Trifling Cases | 27 |\n| Total | 46 |\n\nThe smallest amount of sickness was recorded on the 27th November, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Hospital Cases | 8 |\n| Trifling Cases | 14 |\n| Total | 22 |\n\nPerhaps the most remarkable change during the past year in the health of the prisoners which deserves notice, is the great diminution of Ulcers—only 1 having been so bad as to require Hospital treatment, against 86 cases in 1868.\n\nWith the exception of two deaths from Dysentery, it is impossible to trace the mortality of the past year to any climatic disease; the only other deaths which occurred in 1869, three in number, may be considered as accidental: Dropsy, Insanity, and Apoplexy, are the headings under which they are recorded.\n\nThe wonderfully deterrent effect of public flogging continues to be visible in the less and less recurrence of its employment, and the plan I proposed, some time since, of dismissing a prisoner from the flogging post, so as to be able to impress upon his fellow criminals its actual severity, instead of receiving him first back into Hospital to be cured before dismissal, has worked well.\n\nGreat improvement has been made in the building itself, by increasing the accommodation for Turnkeys and Gaol guard. To note that it is kept a model of cleanliness and good-discipline, under the able superintendence of Mr. Douglas, becomes almost unnecessary.\n\n## IV. THE LOCK HOSPITAL\n\nLately the Contagious Diseases Acts have been brought somewhat prominently before public notice, singularly enough by an association of \"earnest and pertinacious ladies who are banded together with the avowed object of procuring the repeal of these Acts.\" It therefore behoves those who are, like myself, greatly in favor of their extension, and who possess unusual opportunities of judging of their working, to come forward and express their convictions—and I need not therefore hesitate to record, in this Official Report, the result of about twelve years' daily supervision of the system of Inspection and Control, as carried on in this Colony.",

But, taking the case as made out by the tables even, the increased mortality is trifling in comparison to what it was in former years, and the climate of Hongkong may be said to be now eminently salubrious for the tropics.\n\nThe many sanitary improvements undertaken within the last few years, have doubtless contributed greatly to this satisfactory result, and perhaps none more so, than the planting of trees, which has been carried out with great vigor. I believe that much good will follow the extension of this system, and that wherever a tree can find root, it should be put in; and that so long as all undergrowth is removed, there cannot be too many trees. Fortunately, a branch cut off from a tree, and stuck into the ground, is all that is required to produce a new plant, and, where not exposed too much to the influence of the strong wind, it flourishes in an astonishing manner. On the margin of the sea, perhaps, this result is less satisfactory, owing to the spray, and it has been suggested that the cocoa-nut palm might thrive there, and be remunerative as well.\n\nThe preservation of small birds from wanton destruction, will also prove to be a useful sanitary measure, as their increase must tend to diminish the number of mosquitoes and other troublesome and irritating insects.\n\nThe use of carbolic acid, which has been freely employed from time to time, in cleansing the drains, has been of great benefit, although periodical flushing can alone effectually keep them free from emitting unpleasant and unhealthy gases. On some parts of the sea-board, as on the foreshore at Wanchai, no amount of carbolic acid which could be employed, appeared to produce the slightest beneficial effect, and I believe that nothing short of carrying out the Praya into deep water, and running the drains beyond this, will prove sufficient to remedy this nuisance.\n\nDuring the month of March, three vessels came into Port from Yokohama having Typhus Fever on board. It was thought advisable to remove the infected men to Stone-cutter's Island, and place the ships in quarantine for a short time. Whether the occurrence of this fever on ship-board is in any way connected with the tidal mud ballast used, is a point to which the Health Officer's attention has been directed, and an answer to which may be expected at the end of the present season.\n\nA case, which came before the Coroner in April, attracted the notice of the Government to an Institution known as the \"I-tsz.\" Land had been originally granted for the purpose of erecting a temporary resting-place for coffined bodies previous to their removal to their native districts, in conformity with Chinese custom. It was found that persons dangerously ill, and likely to die, were sent there to take their chance, wholly unprovided with the common necessaries of life. It is not easy to explain the inhumanity practised, except on the supposition that the cost and trouble generally attendant on purifying houses in which death has occurred, acted on the natural cupidity of the people. As soon as the condition of matters was recognized, it was at once put a stop to, and rooms were erected for the temporary reception of Chinese patients, to be treated by native practitioners. These rooms are regularly inspected by the Registrar General, Coroner and myself, and will suffice until the Chinese Hospital can be built, to which, besides a large grant from the Government, the wealthy Chinese have liberally subscribed. The death rate is still very great however; for, out of 211 admissions since the 9th of June to the 31st December, 89 died, and 19 remained in the establishment.",

        "content_text": "# I. THE POLICE\n\nSmall-pox was not met with during the past year much more frequently than in 1868, only one admission having taken place at the Government Civil Hospital, although there were 10 cases admitted at the Seamen's Hospital, but most of the latter were from vessels.\n\nNo epidemic of any kind visited the Colony during the year.\n\nBoth the rate of sickness and the rate of mortality of this Force have diminished during the past year, and the Returns are therefore very satisfactory.\n\n| Month | Admissions | Deaths |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| ... | ... | ... |\n\nTable I. shows the number of admissions into, and deaths in, the Hospital, of members of the Police Force, during every month of 1869. The greatest number of admissions took place in September, but the greatest number of Europeans were admitted in May.\n\nTable II. shows the rate per cent of sickness and mortality of the Force during the same year to be lower than that recorded for many years. Two deaths, however, are not included in the Table, one of a Sergeant murdered at Sowkewan and the second of a Constable who died suddenly in his quarters.\n\nTable III. is compiled from the monthly Returns sent in to the Government by the Military Authorities. It shows that the health of the Troops serving in Hongkong is steadily improving; the ratio of sickness being below that of the Police Force and the death rate lower than that of the civil population (according to the Table).\n\nTable XV. shows the number of cases of contagious disease occurring among the Police, during the past nine years, with a classification of the special nature of the disease. The result, if not quite as satisfactory as might be desired, shows a decided improvement amongst the Europeans, in comparison with the previous year.\n\n## II. THE GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL\n\nThe amount of space provided for the treatment of the sick remains unchanged, and although the Board of Trade patients have been transferred to the Seamen's Hospital, the numbers treated in the Civil Hospital during the past year have only been 62 less than those treated in 1868. I regret to report that the mortality has been greater among all classes of patients than it was since 1866, that among Colored Persons alone excepted.\n\n| Year | Mortality Rate |\n| --- | --- |\n| ... | ... |\n\nTable V, which gives the rate of mortality during the last eleven years, distinguishing that of Europeans from Colored Persons and Chinese, shows at a glance that the general mortality has not reached the average except in the case of Chinese; that the rate of mortality has been nearly doubled among Europeans in 1869, while among Colored Persons it was little more than half that of 1868, and that the Chinese mortality is slightly in excess of the average.*\n\nBy a further examination of Table IV, which gives the number of admissions into, and the mortality in this Hospital during the year 1869, it will be seen that the admissions have increased under the heading of Remittent Fever, Insanity, Neuralgia, Colic, Jaundice, Rheumatism, Poisoning, all forms of Wounds, Contagious Diseases, Drunkenness and Moribund. The increased mortality resulted from Fever, diseases of the Liver, from Phthisis, Destitution and various forms of Wounds. Where there has been any improvement, the diminution in both admissions and mortality has come under the head of Diarrhoea and Dysentery, Ulcers, Delirium Tremens, and Chest affections other than Phthisis. Carbolic acid, as recommended by Dr. J. Lamprey, has been found very effectual in the treatment of Buboes.\n\nTable IX. shows the number of admissions into and deaths in the Government Civil Hospital during every month of 1869.\n\nDuring the year, 7 invalids were sent home by the Harbor Master, and I understand they all arrived in safety at their destination.\n\nTable VI., A, B and C, kindly sent to me by the Resident Surgeon, Dr. Adams, gives similar information in reference to the Seamen's Hospital, as the preceding tables give for the Civil Hospital. These Tables are very satisfactory and show a marked improvement in the rate of mortality during the past year.\n\nI cannot omit to note here the great loss sustained by this Department of the Public Service, in the death of Dr. Cochran, who, for four years, performed the duties of Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, with zeal and ability.\n\n### III. THE GAOL\n\nTable VII. shows the number of admissions into the Gaol Hospital, and the deaths there during the year 1869.\n\nTable VIII. shows the rate of sickness and mortality in the Gaol Hospital, as compared with the total number of prisoners, and with the number treated during the year 1869. By this table it will be seen that the total number of prisoners has diminished, that the rate of serious sickness was only one third, and the rate of mortality one half, of what it was in 1868, the total number of cases (trifling) actually treated, being one third less than in the previous year.\n\n* This probably arises from the fact that many moribund patients were received from the \"I-tsz.\"\n\nThe numbers imprisoned in Victoria Gaol, during the past year, were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Europeans, Indians, Chinese | 408, 708, 253 |\n| Total | 3,071, 4,122 (daily average: 465) |\n\nThe daily average was 465, of which number only 5 died. In 1868 the total number of prisoners was 4,982, the daily average 532, and the deaths 10.\n\nIn 1868, the greatest number any one day in Gaol, was on the 8th September, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Europeans, Indians, Chinese | 91, 22, 513 |\n| Total | 626 |\n\nThe smallest number in prison was on the 31st December, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Europeans, Indians, Chinese | 47, 10, 382 |\n| Total | 439 |\n\nDuring the past year, both the maximum and minimum number of prisoners have been greatly below that of the previous year. Thus the greatest number confined on any one day in 1869 was on the 10th February, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Europeans, Indians, Chinese | 85, 18, 161, 564 (Total) |\n\nThe smallest number in Gaol during the same year, was on the 3rd December, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Europeans, Indians, Chinese | 70, 18, 304 |\n| Total | 392 |\n\nThe greatest amount of sickness occurred on the 28th May, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Hospital Cases | 8 |\n| Trifling Cases | 19 |\n| Total | 27 |\n\nThe smallest amount of sickness was recorded on the 27th November, when there were:\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Hospital Cases | 6 |\n| Trifling Cases | 8 |\n| Total | 14 |\n\nPerhaps the most remarkable change during the past year in the health of the prisoners which deserves notice, is the great diminution of Ulcers - only 1 having been so bad as to require Hospital treatment, against 86 cases in 1868.\n\nWith the exception of two deaths from Dysentery, it is impossible to trace the mortality of the past year to any climatic disease; the only other deaths which occurred in 1869, three in number, may be considered as accidental: Dropsy, Insanity, and Apoplexy, are the headings under which they are recorded.\n\nThe wonderfully deterrent effect of public flogging continues to be visible in the less and less recurrence of its employment, and the plan I proposed, some time since, of dismissing a prisoner from the flogging post, so as to be able to impress upon his fellow criminals its actual severity, instead of receiving him first back into Hospital to be cured before dismissal, has worked well.\n\nGreat improvement has been made in the building itself, by increasing the accommodation for Turnkeys and Gaol guard. To note that it is kept a model of cleanliness and good discipline, under the able superintendence of Mr. Douglas, becomes almost unnecessary.\n\n### IV. THE LOCK HOSPITAL\n\nLately the Contagious Diseases Acts have been brought somewhat prominently before public notice, singularly enough by an association of \"earnest and pertinacious ladies who are banded together with the avowed object of procuring the repeal of these Acts.\" It therefore behoves those who are, like myself, greatly in favor of their extension, and who possess unusual opportunities of judging of their working, to come forward and express their convictions - and I need not therefore hesitate to record, in this Official Report, the result of about twelve years daily supervision of the system of Inspection and Control, as carried out in this Colony,",

GARDINER AUSTIN, \n\nColonial Secretary. \n\n**VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 17th January, 1871.** \n\nIn my Sanitary Report for 1870, being the Twelfth I have had the honor of submitting to the Government, I rejoice to be able to continue to record the improvement which has taken place in the health of the Colony since 1858. When the sudden and startling death of several members of our community is recalled to our recollection, we are prepared to find that 1870 has been eminently unhealthy. But the vital statistics of the past year, as shown in the following Tables, point out that in the Gaol, the improvement has been so marked that the mortality has been lower than in any year previously recorded—and if among the general community it appears somewhat larger, it must not be forgotten that the Tables are calculated upon the Census of 1869, and that the additional five deaths recorded would probably not increase the percentage of mortality above the average, if the Tables were compiled from more correct data, which will never be obtained until a proper system of Registration of Deaths is enforced by law. \n\nThere can, however, be no doubt that in the early part of the summer, and up to the 3rd of August, there was a great and unusual increase of fever among the residents. For the most part it was not of a dangerous type, although by its tendency to relapse, it caused great prostration; but in one or two cases it assumed something of the character of typhus, and proved rapidly fatal. Opinions varied among practitioners as to the cause of this disease, and I am aware that it was generally attributed to some cuttings in the hill side, and the spreading of the cut soil over the roads undergoing repair. I have never, however, concurred in this view, and believe that the sole cause of the malady must be traced to the remarkably small fall of rain, which had taken place previous to the 3rd of August. I was led to form this opinion from the fact that although cases of fever really did occur in the immediate neighborhood of, and to leeward of these cuttings, and in certain localities in considerable number, this was not always the case; and not only was fever absent in certain other localities equally exposed to the supposed exhalations, but it occurred both to windward of them and in places where there had been no such cuttings. I think it much more reasonable to cast the onus on the absence of rain and the state of our drains; for this reason, that no sooner did rain fall on the 3rd of August, in sufficient quantity to wash out the sewers, than a marked amelioration took place in the health of the community. \n\n| Months | 1867 | 1868 | 1869 | 1870 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| January | 1.07 | 0.79 | 0.78 | 0.30 |\n| February | 0.40 | 0.49 | 8.21 | 0.40 |\n| March | 6.57 | 2.00 | 4.15 | 3.30 |\n| April | 2.23 | 6.55 | 4.17 | 0.31 |\n| May | 10.62 | 10.07 | 10.01 | 16.26 |\n| June | 8.29 | 30.79 | 9.12 | 5.04 |\n| July | 17.11 | 5.53 | 6.83 | 4.74 |\n| Total | 46.22 | 67.12 | 38.27 | 30.85 |\n\nRAIN FALL from 1st January to 31st July for the last four Years registered at the GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL. \n\nAnd this naturally leads me to refer to the drains. It is not creditable to this Colony that after their unhealthy condition has been pointed out, both by myself and by the Sanitary Commission, they should remain as they are, a source of disease and death. In the early part of the past year the tenants, and others interested in the Praya lots, applied to the Government, through me, in regard to the seaward openings of the drains, and the noxious emanations from the foreshore, but the lowness of the public exchequer is the excuse offered for the unavoidable continuation of this most dangerous nuisance. Pending some more radical improvement, the drains should be run out into deep water, so as to prevent sewerage being exposed on the foreshore at low tides, and the openings trapped, to prevent the wind blowing up them, and thus forcing the foul air out at the various gratings throughout the town. Carbolic acid has been freely used, but no amount of it will suffice until the system of drainage has been entirely remodelled as recommended by the Sanitary Commission. \n\nTyphus fever was imported in eight vessels from Yokohama between the 10th February and the 11th May—and all these vessels were placed in quarantine. In the eight vessels, there were thirteen cases of fever, of which number one terminated fatally. The Health Officer of the Port, Dr. ADAMS, has, as promised last year, sent in a Report on the subject of the connection between this disease and the ballasting of ships with tidal mud, a subject which has attracted considerable attention in other countries.

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA MAIL.\n\n## HONGKONG, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 12, 1873,\n\n### MARINE COURT OF ENQUIRY,\n\n#### \"GLENLYON.\"\n\nA Marine Court of Enquiry was held to-day, the 12th inst, at the Marine Magistracy to enquire into the circumstances attending the loss of life on board the British steamer Glenlyon during her voyage from Singapore to Hongkong. The Court was composed of the Hon. C. May (first Police Magistrate); H. G. Thomsett, Esq., B.N. (Harbour Master); Henry Lowcock, Esq., (unofficial Justice of the Peace); R. H. Cairns, Esq., (Government Marine Surveyor); and Seth Doane, Esq., (Master Mariner and Commander of the S. S. Mikado).\n\nJ. Templeton, Master of the Glenlyon, was first examined. He joined her at London on 1st September last. Her registered tonnage is 1373 tons. She left London on the evening of the 13th September, had a full general cargo for China and Japan. She had over 3000 tons general cargo on board. She arrived at Singapore on 23rd October, discharging about 300 tons there, and taking in about 300 tons to fill up space. The ship drew 21ft. 8in. aft, and 19 feet forward, when leaving Singapore. She took in some Chinese passengers, the agents (Martin, Dyos & Co.) issued passage tickets; there were 281 issued. The passengers were to be taken to Hongkong. Witness produced the license from the Harbour Master (Capt. Ellis) at Singapore for leaving port with the passengers. Witness could not account for its not being signed. It was handed to witness by the Harbour Master. Witness did not notice the absence of the signature. The certificate permitted witness to carry 300 Chinese passengers. Witness did not know that inquiries had been made if there was sufficient room for the men in case of bad weather. The ship lay at Tanjong Pagar Wharf at Singapore in the New Harbour. The names of the Chinese passengers were not given in the list, simply the numbers of the tickets. The Chinese passengers came on board just as they liked on the day of departure. They brought their luggage with them and their provisions, as they had to feed themselves. The ship did not even supply fuel. The whole ship was filled with cargo except the saloon, forecastle and similar places. There was no room to put the Chinese below in case of bad weather. The Harbour Master came on board in Singapore, but there was no passenger then. The certificate was given to witness on the day previous to departure. Witness did not remember the Harbour Master having made any official inspection of the ship. The certificate stated that the Chinese passengers were to go on deck. No official came on board on Sunday to count the number of passengers; in fact, witness did not know how many were actually on board; he believed there were about 281, as described in the document received from the agents. They stowed their luggage as well as they could on the upper deck. Witness did not know that the crew lashed together the luggage of the passengers on deck. No luggage was below, until the gale came on. The ship left Singapore about noon on the 26th; the weather was fine then, and the ship steamed about 10 or 10 knots an hour during that time. On the 30th at noon, the wind which had been increasing during the morning, began to blow hard, gradually increasing in violence. At 3 p.m. it was blowing a gale, and the engines were reduced to half speed. Before this, they were reduced to \"slow.\" It was raining very heavily, the wind was about N., and the ship was heading N., keeping ahead of the sea. The sea was becoming high, a sharp chopping sea at the time. There were no bulwarks to the ship. The crew were protected by an iron railing, and nettings abaft the bridge. The nettings were made of lead lines, 1-inch line. On Thursday afternoon, the 30th, when the weather was very bad, the barometer falling all the time, witness did not give any orders as to the safety of the Chinese, as they were safe then. On the 31st, witness then gave directions to send the Chinese into all the spare places below. They were in the saloon, cabins, forecastle, engine room, galley, closets, bath rooms, in fact everywhere that could afford a shelter. On the 31st about 8 a.m. witness was disabled, while attending to the steering gear, by a sea which came over the stand knocking him down. Witness was rendered insensible for a short time, and his arms were rendered powerless. Witness could only stand at the companion to look after the ship as well as he could. He gave up the control of the ship to the chief officer, telling him to look after the ship as well as he could. Up to the time of witness being disabled, witness did not hear of the loss of any men. On the morning of the 1st inst., witness saw the dead body of a Chinaman on deck. About 11 a.m. on the 31st, a seaman named George Key was at the relieving tackles, and was washed overboard. When they left Singapore, the ship drew 8 inches of water less than when leaving London. The cargo taken in at Singapore consisted principally of rattan. After giving accommodation below to the Chinese, there were still about 40 to 50 of them on deck, remaining on the house around the funnel, which was amidships. Others were lying on a broken horse box that was lashed flat on deck to some ringbolts. The ship was taking in water from all points. The port life boat was washed away; the starboard cutter and starboard life boat were smashed. There were 80 cases of acids on the upper deck amidships. The acid caught fire before witness was disabled, and witness sanctioned the cases being thrown overboard for the sake of safety. Very likely witness might have given the order to throw the luggage of the Chinese overboard in order to clear the deck. It had broken adrift and was washing about the deck, endangering people's lives. During the gale, all the crew were on deck. On the morning of the 1st, witness overheard some conversation amongst the crew about some of the deck passengers having been killed or having jumped overboard, one man jumping in after his box was thrown overboard, as it contained $5,000. Witness was not certain of what he heard, as he was suffering from his bruises. Witness saw the dead body lying in the scuttles on the port side abreast the mizen mast. It was thrown overboard. There were no marks of violence about the body, and witness thought that the man died of simple exhaustion and exposure to the weather. That was the only dead body witness saw. Witness did not know by report that any men had been washed overboard. Witness only knew of the two deaths he mentioned above, viz., the Chinaman and the seaman. The gale subsided about 8 a.m. on the 1st. The ship arrived on the 3rd. From the 1st to the 3rd, no complaints were made to him of men having been washed overboard. Several of the passengers could speak English, but they made no complaint whatever. The ship arrived during the night and was anchored off about a mile or a mile and a half eastward of Green Island. Boats from the shore came alongside, bringing fruit &c. to the passengers on board. Witness did not know that any passengers went on shore that night. If they wanted to go, witness would not have prevented them. They weighed anchor and steamed up to the Harbour about 8 a.m. on the 4th, a good many passengers had already landed. They could land when they liked. There was only one man of the crew drunk during the gale; this was on the 30th. He was in the saloon, baling water. When the gale subsided, witness did not make an attempt to count the number of the men in order to see how many were lost. He did not count them previous to the gale. He did not count them after the gale because he could not see the object gained by counting them, as he did not know how many came on board. Witness did not make any enquiries among the Chinese to find out how many lives had been lost among them. It did not occur to him that it was necessary. Witness had no knowledge that the crew and men in the engine room charged the Chinese passengers money for giving them shelter, in the forecastle &c.",

        "content_text": "## Inquiry into the Glenlyon Steamship Incident\n\nWitness could only come on deck on the night of arrival, when he came up merely to give the order to cast anchor. If there had been bulwarks, they would not have saved the men from the tackles. If the ship had strong bulwarks, she must have foundered during the gale.\n\nBy Mr. Brereton, who appeared to watch the case on behalf of the ship, (through the Court): Witness did not know that the ship had been surveyed before taking in the Chinese passengers. Witness' first command was a steamer in July 1864. Witness had been frequently employed to carry Asiatics between ports in India, sometimes as many as one thousand at a time. Witness had nearly always carried the passengers on deck between Calcutta and the Straits Settlements. There was no accommodation in the between-decks for them.\n\nWitness was accustomed to carry passengers in that way on the coast of India, and the Straits Settlements. He had never lost a single passenger before. Captain Thomsett said he might not have met with a typhoon before. Witness replied that he had, and a very severe one too.\n\nContinued: After he had been disabled to the time of arrival, he did not consider himself relieved from the responsibilities although he did not take an active part in the command of the ship.\n\nJohn Smith, Chief Mate of the steamship Glenlyon, stated that he joined her in London on 9th September last. Witness held a master's certificate; he had commanded a vessel in Liverpool. He left her in order to go in this steamer. He recollected the arrival of the steamer at Singapore on the 23rd October about 4 or 5 pm. They took in 2800 tons of cargo in London altogether, discharging about 300 tons at Singapore. The discharged cargo was heavy, consisting chiefly of copper. She took in about 300 tons of light cargo, chiefly of rattan, at Singapore. The ship drew 21.3 and 18.10 when leaving Singapore. About 280 Chinese passengers were taken on board at Singapore. He believed that was the number, because the agents had told him so. Witness did not count them. They came on board on the evening of Saturday, throughout the night and on the morning of the 26th. They brought their luggage and provisions with them. Their luggage was stowed on the upper deck, secured. They lashed the boxes themselves partly, and the crew lashed them partly for them. There was no place below the upper deck appropriated either to the Chinese passengers or their luggage. Water only was issued to them; they cooked their own meals in those small clay stoves with charcoal brought by them. Fine weather was experienced from the 26th to the 30th. On that day the wind began to increase, and at 3 p.m. it was blowing a gale of wind. The barometer began to fall. Measures were then taken to secure the ship, and for the safety of the passengers and their luggage, some of which were stowed below in the forecastle, chart room and store room. As many as possible of the passengers were then sent down, others remaining on the top of their luggage. They were sent down to the water closets, bath rooms, mess-room, companion way, the captain's cabin, saloon and engine rooms. After this disposition, there were left about 40 on deck; these were on the midship house, around the funnel casings. It was about 54 feet long by about 20 feet broad. Some of the luggage was placed on the after part of the bridge. There were about five Chinese lying on a horse box. There were 80 cases of acids on deck, and they caught fire on Friday morning (31st) and were thrown overboard. The Captain was injured about 8 am on the 31st. They were just finishing heaving the acids overboard. Witness saw some of the crew pick the captain up from the quadrant stand near the rudder. He was sensible when witness saw him. He was carried then into the cabin on deck. He came out once when the engine room skylight was broken. The captain told witness that he was unable to move, and that witness must take charge of the ship. At 10 a.m. 31st, a seaman named George Key was washed overboard from the relieving tackles. About an hour, or two, a Chinaman jumped overboard from about the starboard main-rigging. Witness saw him jump. The gale was very violent with a very heavy sea on about this time. Some very heavy seas were coming on board about the bridge. Considering the class of vessel, the ship was a very good sea-boat; a ship of the old construction might have made better weather. Witness saw three more Chinamen lying dead; they were either killed or died of exhaustion. The bodies were lying before the after house, about the companion way, near the mizen. Witness knew of no other deaths either from personal knowledge or by report. Witness did not see any Chinese washed overboard. Witness wrote the ship's log.\n\n(Mr. May called witness' attention to the inconsistency of his evidence with an entry in the ship's log, the latter stating that some Chinese were washed overboard, three killed by their luggage drifting about, and several disabled.) Witness said by washing overboard, he meant the man who jumped overboard.\n\nCaptain Thomsett said the word \"some\" would not be expressed by one. He wished an explanation. He also drew witness' attention to his evidence given before him in connection with another inquiry, wherein he had stated that two men jumped overboard, whereas he only said one now. Witness said he only saw one, and he did not see any washed overboard.\n\nCapt. Thomsett said he would have a copy of the log made and annexed to the minutes. Witness had given six deaths before, and he had only accounted for five deaths now. Witness had made three different statements, one on the log, one in his evidence before, and one in his evidence now. Where did he get the information for the entry in the log?\n\nWitness said that when he wrote the ship's log, his head was in a jumble, and that was the only way he could account for the discrepancy. He must have put the entry in the way he did from what the English-speaking Chinese passenger informed him that he thought some Chinese passengers had been washed overboard.\n\nWitness was then asked to account for his statement made six days ago that two men jumped overboard. He replied that it was a mistake when he said that on the 6th instant. He should have stated that he only saw one jump overboard.\n\nContinued: After the gale, in consequence of the Chinese having lost their provisions, bread was served out to them as much as they required. No meat was given them. They did not want any meat; they only wanted bread. Witness ordered the Chinese luggage to be thrown overboard because it was washing about the deck endangering the lives of those who steered. He saw no struggling between the Chinese and crew for their luggage when the crew threw it overboard. Witness could not say whether money was paid by the Chinese for admission into the forecastle. He heard some did pay, how much he could not say. He ordered the Chinese into the forecastle.\n\nCapt. Thomsett could not understand why the men should pay for going down the forecastle, when they were ordered therein. Witness said he did not hear of the payment until after the storm. He did hear of the Chinamen paying money for admission into the engine-room. He could not say how he heard it. Witness did not see any seamen with dollars in their hands. Witness saw some dollars lying on deck, but did not see any one picking them up, not even Chinese. This was during the gale.\n\nWitness knew an able seaman named Skeat was very drunk during the gale. He was baling water out of the saloon; there was another named John McKenis, also a seaman. He was employed likewise in baling water out. Both were unable to work, but Skeat was off duty. Witness knew of no other man being drunk. Witness knew of no death amongst the Chinese after the gale. He heard report of robbery amongst the Chinese; the day after the gale they were fighting with their umbrellas; witness went to see what was the matter...\n\nPage 467",

        "content_text": "(12)\n\nCOOK-HOUSES' REMOVAL.-The present Superintendent has suggested to the Committee the propriety of recommending that the cook-houses be removed and rebuilt in the washing yard, where it is supposed there will be room for the operations of both cooking and washing.\n\nThere are great objections to the present position of the cook-houses. It intercepts the view from one end of the Gaol buildings to the other, rendering an additional sentry necessary, and is out of place altogether.\n\nThe removal of the building has been often strongly urged, and the Committee recommend that the Surveyor General be consulted and the building be removed if possible.\n\nIt may here be remarked that if the suggestion made of removing the Officers' quarters to the buildings at present occupied by the Magistracy be adopted, the present Turnkeys' cook-house could be used for the Gaol cook-house.\n\nIt has been already remarked, that the Committee think it extremely objectionable that the long sentenced prisoners who are now employed in cooking for the Gaol Officers should be allowed to come beyond the prison gates, as it is a relaxation of all discipline, and easy means of communication with the world outside are afforded. Coolies bringing necessaries for the use of the Gaol come constantly in contact with them.\n\nRecommendation.-The Committee strongly recommend, that iron gates be erected at the end of each of the \"ramps\" as they are called, and that no prisoner be allowed on any pretence to go beyond them.\n\nTREAD-MILLS.\n\nThe erection of \"Tread-mills\" would come under the heading of Gaol alterations. The experience collected in the various books and Reports on the subject goes to prove that the objections once entertained and still entertained by Sir WALTER CROFTON to the \"tread-mill\" as a punishment are groundless (Vide Prison Discipline 1868, page 88), and in a despatch of Lord GRANVILLE, (See Further Correspondence Prison Discipline in Colonies, page 38), it is stated to be most useful and deterrent. It would be especially adapted for the punishment of soldiers and sailors, who are committed in large numbers for offences against discipline.\n\nSome years ago, it appears, a \"Tread-mill\" was in use in this Gaol, but it fell into disfavour, then into disuse, and was taken down.\n\nThe Surveyor General estimates the cost of a \"Tread-mill\" capable of holding 16 men at $2,000, and one suited to 8 men at $1,000.\n\nThe Committee think that \"Tread-mills\" might be introduced with great advantage into this Gaol, but they do not know anyone in the Colony who has had experience in their management.\n\nGAOL STAFF.\n\nThe state of the Gaol staff is a very important question which has engaged the attention of the Committee.\n\nThe present number of Turnkeys is not sufficient. The Superintendent and the Warden consider their work excessive. Their hours of attendance are from 5.30 A.M. to 6 P.M., with intervals of an hour for breakfast, 1 hour for luncheon, an hour for dinner. Once a fortnight in turns they get Friday night from 5.30 P.M., Saturday night and all Sunday to themselves.\n\nThe Superintendent is of opinion that the class of men employed as Turnkeys should be improved. Very few of the present staff can write, which is certainly objectionable, as they cannot make entries in the Log and other books with their own hands. Mr. TOMLIN is of opinion that the salaries should be raised, and has sent in a body of suggestions to the Committee. As the enquiry involved a comparison with the pay of Police Officers, which is entirely beyond the question submitted to the Committee, they have contented themselves with laying Mr. TOMLIN'S statement before His Excellency.\n\n(13)\n\nDRY EARTH SYSTEM.\n\nThe Superintendent and Warden have called the attention of the Committee to the vitiated state of the air in the wards in the early morning caused by the stench proceeding from the night buckets. It is not easy to suggest a complete remedy as there is great difficulty in procuring mould in Hongkong. The soil of the island, a sort of laterite or disintegrated granite, does not absorb the urine so well or deodorise it so thoroughly as mould. The great point, however, seems to be that the earth of whatever kind (except clay) should be dry and well sifted; When mixed with a small quantity of the common carbolic acid it would, it is believed, mitigate the nuisance.\n\nPENAL SERVITUDE AND IMPRISONMENT WITH HARD LABOUR SENTENCES.\n\nThe Supreme Court has at present power to sentence a prisoner to two years imprisonment with hard labour, or to penal servitude for any period not under 3 years. But under the present Gaol system the words \"Penal Servitude\" in the sense which they bear in England as implying progressive stages of imprisonment and punishment have no meaning.\n\nLong sentence prisoners after undergoing 6 months of penal diet and hard labour are for the residue of their term in many cases put to light labour such as cooking, service, washing, mat-making, and go through no real course of penal labour.\n\nThe Committee are strongly of opinion that prisoners condemned to penal servitude should, during the whole term of their sentences, pass periods on penal diet of at least a month and that 5 days every month and in the case of previous convictions 10 days such prisoners should be kept to real hard labour for at least 3 years of their sentence (Mr. TONNOCHY dissents.)\n\nIt is also recommended that the Ordinance No. 4 of 1863 be amended to meet the proposed alterations in the Regulations, and that the shortest term of Penal Servitude be increased to 5 years and of imprisonment with hard labour to 3 years if the distinction between the two is to be kept up, the advantages of which are doubtful.\n\nIt would certainly be desirable that the Judges should know more exactly to what amount and kind of punishment they are sentencing a prisoner and if the distinction between imprisonment with hard labour and penal servitude be preserved they should be more clearly defined.\n\nDuring the course of the enquiry the attention of the Committee was called particularly by the Colonial Secretary to the subject of cutting off \"queues\" of Chinese prisoners.\n\nBy the present regulations except on grounds of health and cleanliness the \"queues\" of those prisoners only on whom sentences of 2 years and upwards have been passed are cut.\n\nThe Committee recommend that the rule at present existing be retained and that the \"queues\" of prisoners sentenced to 2 years imprisonment with hard labour and upwards be removed, but be allowed to grow for 6 months previous to a prisoner's discharge from Gaol.\n\nIn the case of 2nd convictions for 6 months or more up to 1 year, it is recommended that the queue should be cut off or not at the discretion of the Judge or Magistrate before whom the case is tried, such direction to be embodied and to form part of the sentence.\n\n77\n\nqueues\n\n182",

The following additions were required: \n\n* A Foundry with large workshops for Engineers, capable of constructing the requisite machinery.\n* A series of Coke Ovens for the production of Coke.\n* Gas works and mains. \n* Refineries on a very large scale for Gold, Silver, and Copper.\n* Chemical laboratories and works for the production of sulphuric, nitric, and muriatic acids.\n\nA second complete Mint had to be erected, larger than the original one. \n\n* A costly residence was built fully appointed for the reception of the Mikado, and other officers of state, during occasional visits to Osaka.\n* Furnished residences were provided for all the employed officials.\n* Japanese houses were built for the native officials and clerks.\n* Barracks for 100 soldiers.\n* School houses.\n\nI mention these matters to show that the cost of that establishment far exceeded what would have been required for a Mint only, erected where the necessary supplies and materials could be readily procured.\n\nThe bullion for coinage did not reach the Mint in the usual state; much of the Gold & Silver required parting and refining, and the Copper purifying before it was suitable for coinage. Notwithstanding the excessive outlay for the purposes referred to, the entire cost, including salaries and all other expenses during the period of preparation, was substantial.\n\nPage 420\nPage 421",

It is not easy to suggest a complete remedy as there is great difficulty in procuring mould in Hong-kong. The soil of the Island, a sort of laterite or disintegrated granite, does not absorb the urine so well or deodorise it so thoroughly as mould. The great point, however, seems to be that the earth of whatever kind (except clay) should be dry and well sifted; when mixed with a small quantity of the common carbolic acid it would, it is believed, mitigate the nuisance.\n\n(Signed)\n\nF. SNOWDEN, Chairman.\n\nC. MAY.\n\nP. RYRIE.\n\nW. M. DEANE.\n\nM. S. TONNOCHY.\n\nVictoria, Hongkong, 21st April, 1876.\n\n## MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.\n\nOn visiting the Gaol I found that a system of latrines is in use that has long since been condemned in similar institutions elsewhere; such a system may lead at any time to a serious outbreak of disease.\n\nRefer the Acting Superintendent's memorandum, and any other documents on the subject, to the Colonial Surgeon for his observations.\n\nJ. POPE HENNESSY. 28th May, 1877.\n\n(Signed)\n\n## COPY OF MEMORANDUM MADE BY THE ACTING SUPERINTENDENT IN REPLY TO THE GOVERNOR'S ENQUIRIES ON HIS EXCELLENCY'S VISIT TO THE GAOL, 26TH MAY 1877.\n\nI find from the records that in July 1874, on the recommendation of Mr. TONNOCHY, a number of wooden Closets were put up in the Cells with a view to introducing the earth system, which I am informed was tried for a short time, but owing to a difficulty in procuring suitable earth and getting the prisoners to use it, the system was abandoned.\n\nMr. SCUDDER, the Head Turnkey, tells me that during the short time the dry earth system was being tried the smell in the Corridors was more offensive than it had been before.\n\nThe old system was reverted to, viz.: a wooden bucket with a close fitting cover is provided for each Cell which the prisoners use at night—the contents are removed in the morning by the Government scavenger. During the day time the prisoners go to the latrines provided in the five Upper Yards, but those employed in the Lower Yard use the buckets, which are emptied every morning.\n\nFemale prisoners use buckets day and night, which are emptied into the drain running through the Yard.\n\nPrisoners confined in the Remand or Debtors' Ward or in solitary or separate confinement use the buckets both day and night.\n\n(Signed) GEO. L. TOMLIN,\n\nActing Superintendent.\n\n## MINUTE BY THE COLONIAL SURGEON.\n\nNothing can be done here on the dry earth system, as the proper soil cannot be procured in the Island or none at hand, so that the expense would be very great. The same system pursued all through the town. In the Chinese quarter proper tubs are under every bed and only emptied once in 2 to 5 days; the average being 3 days. There is no choice but to procure earth from a great distance, to use charcoal or make water closets; all of those systems would be a great expense.\n\nThe stench in the Warden's Quarters at times in the hot weather is sickening, and the previous Warden's health suffered very much in consequence.\n\n29th May. 1877.\n\n(Signed)\n\nPH.

        "content_text": "# \nread of the tin deposits of the Malay Peninsula, he concluded that they were, without exception, the richest in the world. He was aware that there was a prevailing impression here that this was not the case, but still it was perfectly true. There was no more widely distributed deposit of tin than in the Malay Peninsula, at least not of that particular kind of tin deposit which was termed stream tin. They were very widely spread, and the deposits in themselves were practically inexhaustible.\n\nThe lecturer proceeded to show by a map the peculiar formation of the peninsula, remarking that its shape was singularly developed. There was an immense range of mountains, a few of which had been explored, and some of which he was the first to explore, while others, much higher, had been effectively explored by a French gentleman who had since gone home. Some of the mountains reached a height of 10,000 feet, and there were, he believed, some even higher than that. These mountains, in about the centre of the peninsula, began to decline until they came to a part at which there was so little elevation that boats might be dragged from one river to another on the opposite side. It was there the richest part of the tin deposit was to be found; there had been the greatest disturbance, and there was the greatest mineral richness. In a disputed country between the territory of Perak and Siam there were tin veins. He should speak briefly about those veins, and he might say that this was the only case he had met with where there were veins of tin in the peninsula; elsewhere, in the south, it was in alluvial deposits.\n\nThis was a very important thing to bear in mind, because he had met in Hongkong several persons who had asked him if there was not something peculiar about the tin deposits there. To these he would answer that there was nothing peculiar at all about them; they were exactly like stream deposits all over the world - no difference. He had been asked something about pockets; he knew pockets were a subject in connection with mines about which people were particularly tender (laughter), but there were no such things as pockets as they were generally understood which made them different from deposits in other parts of the world. The deposits of tin had been accumulating for ages from the wearing down of the granite rocks.\n\nHe was also asked if there were no main sources from which the tin was derived, and he answered \"No, nothing of the kind was found in what was known as stream tin as far as his experience went.\" It was most important to bear this in mind, that wherever stream tin was discovered, veins were not found, and where veins were found, there was no stream tin. Had time allowed, he could have explained the reason of this, but he had now to confine his attention to what stream tin was.\n\nLet them suppose that they had in the mountains of the Malay Peninsula the representation of those forces which had upheaved their rugged summits, which had, in course of time, through the slowly acting forces of the weather, worn into peaks and gullies as they were now seen. The rev. gentleman said his hearers must excuse him if he appeared to enter into explanations of things that seemed self-evident; as he proceeded, the reason would be apparent. This decomposing and wearing down of the granite by the action of the weather was owing to the iron contained in the felspar being easily rusted, and thus the granite was disintegrated till nothing was left to represent it but heaps of fine sand. With this sand, there was washed down by the force of water grains of tin that had been contained in the granite.\n\nWhatever was contained in the granite was washed down into the valleys, and a great deal of alluvial granite was carried out to sea in the form of a fine mud which discoloured the water, but was finally deposited on the coast, and was the cause of those immense mangrove flats and mud islands that were to be found about the Malay Peninsula on the west coast. The lighter portions were carried away the furthest, and the heavier portions remained at the foot of the hills, and it was with the latter that the tin was found. It was found at the bottom of the deposit, and it might be said that if it was thus deposited, it must have been only the surface of the granite which was rich in tin, and it was washed down first, and subsequently covered with alluvial sand.\n\nBut it would not be right to argue in this way. The granite and tin had been mingled together so generally that probably a very minute examination of the granite would have been required to perceive the tin it contained, except in exceptional instances, where it was formed in little streaks, and bosses, and lumps. As to the reason of the tin being gathered together in the lowest portion of the deposit, cassiterite was more than several times the weight of common quartz sand, and sank rapidly, but its weight alone would not account for the fact.\n\nThe tin was found in some ancient stream bed - not the mere breadth the stream now occupied, as in the course of ages the stream would have travelled over a wide valley. The sand it brought down obstructed its own course, and caused it to constantly change its channel, and it was carried backwards and forwards across the valley, and the deposit was washed much in the way it was done by artificial means. Every time the stream changed its course, it washed the sand from the alluvial deposits, and turned it over and over again, allowing the water to pass through the midst of it, so that the tin was gradually left, and the sand, or lighter portions, were carried away. It was in this way that the tin came to occupy the lowest portion of the deposit.\n\nIt was covered with a deposit of alluvium, sometimes as much as 30 feet in thickness, in others as much as 50 feet, but usually much less, sometimes as little as ten feet. The thickness or richness of the tin deposit bore no reference to the thickness of the deposit above it. It was merely a matter of chance, only he thought it might be inferred that where there was a thick deposit of alluvium over the tin, and the tin was not very thick, the deposit could not be of a very rich character.\n\nThe audience would now understand how stream tin occurred. What occurred in Perak occurred also in Australia, and in all mines he had visited where stream tin was worked. There seemed to be an impression that the stream deposits in Perak were poorer than those in other places, whereas the fact was that, if anything, they were richer. If people thought, too, there was a larger deposit of sand over the tin, that was a mistake. It would be found that in some cases there was more in Cornwall, and it was so also in Australia. Probably in Australia, the tin deposits had not been fairly worked, for on account of labour being so very dear, none but the richest mines were worked, and these were worked very differently from the mines in Perak.\n\nPeople asked him, again, how it was that the result of tin mining in the Malay Peninsula was so unsatisfactory if the mines were as rich or richer than those in other parts of the world. That depended upon economical considerations with which he could have nothing to do, but still he could form his ideas upon the subject, which might be right or might be wrong, for clergymen were not, as a rule, very good men of business, and when he told his hearers what he thought about the matter at the termination of his lecture, they might take his remarks for what they were worth.\n\nNow they might consider what granite was. Its principal ingredients were mica, felspar, and quartz, but granite was very rarely so simply composed as that, and in common use, the name applied to a dozen different kinds of rocks having diverse chemical compositions. In his opinion, and in that, he was following the ideas of most of the leading geologists at home, granite was formerly a stratified rock, having assumed its present form after having been subjected to great pressure. Pressure generated heat, and with steam that was confined - of course, having no means of escape - under the pressure to which the granite was subjected - produced a force which no rock was able to withstand. Superheated steam was more corrosive than any acid; they had no knowledge of any acid which melted away quartz but one, and that only to a small degree. Rocks, by this process, however, were reduced to a pasty condition.\n\nThere was one fact about tin deposits in Perak to be noted, and that was that they were never found except at the junction of paleozoic rocks and granite. The paleozoic rocks were the most ancient stratified rocks with which they were acquainted. Now these paleozoic rocks lay on the top of the granite, and if the junction between the two was followed, it would be found that there was a gradual passage from one form to the other. Stratified rocks bore marks of stratification like sand-stone or slate, and as they were followed down, it would be noticed that these marks became less and less distinct, while crystalline structure became more and more distinct, until gradually there was a passage between these paleozoic rocks into granite, so that they appeared as if the one were derived from the other. That, however, was a matter of theory. The fact they found was that where they found minerals, it was always at the junction of granite or intrusive rocks.\n\n173",

They shall cleanse and scrub the night-soil buckets, the seats and the surrounding wood-work of the closets every morning with a solution of carbolic acid or other disinfectant to be provided for the purpose by the Sanitary Board.\n\n9. The Sanitary Board shall order from Canton adequate quantities of quick-lime, to arrive in instalments, and shall provide the necessary storage for the same.\n\n10. The Sanitary Board shall, immediately on the Cholera taking an epidemic form, take the necessary steps to order by telegraph from England or nearest available market adequate quantities of disinfectants.\n\n11. A gang of one hundred coolies shall be set to dig trenches 6 feet deep by 4 feet wide near Sandy Bay and at Caroline Hill to expedite the speedy burial of the dead. Every choleraic body shall before burial be treated with quick-lime. Stores of quick-lime shall be accumulated on the sites of the burial-grounds.\n\n12. The Sanitary Board shall cause all wells and other sources of water supply to be examined, and shall close, by filling with earth, all such wells, public or private, as may be found tainted by sewage or other impurities. The Board shall also ensure the preservation from impurity of such public water supplies as they may consider in any way affected by the manurial cultivation of gardens in their vicinity or by other causes of pollution.\n\n13. The Sanitary Board shall enter into such arrangements with the undertakers of the town as may ensure the speedy removal and burial of the dead. A reserve of fifty coffins and an adequate supply of mats shall be kept on hand at the public expense. In the absence of coffins, bodies shall be wrapped in mats, so as to avoid delay in removal and burial. Permanent gangs of coolies shall be conceded at the public expense to Messrs. BROWN, JONES & Co. or such other undertakers as may contract with the Sanitary Board in order to ensure despatch in the removal of corpses from European houses.\n\n14. The Registrar General shall issue a notification to the Chinese people calling upon them, in addition to the scavenging, cleansing and purification of their tenements, to report at his Office or at the nearest Police Station any cases of Cholera or Choleraic Diarrhea, distinguishable by violent purging and vomiting, occurring in their houses or coming under their cognizance. Such reports shall be made by them without loss of time, and due care shall be taken to impress upon the people, the importance of promptitude in making such reports.\n\n15. All cases of Cholera coming to the knowledge of any Colonial Officer shall be immediately reported by him to the Colonial Surgeon, and to the Sanitary Inspector, whereupon an Inspector shall be detailed to visit and inspect the infected tenement, and if he shall find the same to be overcrowded or the patient without proper lodging accommodation, he shall cause the said patient, if Chinese, to be removed to the Tung-Wa Hospital, and the tenement to be properly disinfected. Should the Inspector find that the patient may be treated in his own house, he shall make the best arrangements possible to clear the sick room of other tenants and shall supply the tenement with the necessary disinfectants and instruct one of the coolies attached to the Sanitary Staff in the use and application of such disinfectants, and in the event of the patient dying, the said coolie shall lose no time in reporting the death to the District Inspector with a view to the immediate removal of the body.\n\n16. Bottles of Cholera Medicine shall be prepared by the Colonial Surgeon at the public expense, and shall be furnished to the Inspectors labelled with printed instructions in English and Chinese for the use of such medicine. The Inspectors shall endeavour to induce the natives to give the medicine a trial.\n\n17. The Sanitary Board shall procure ambulances for the conveyance of the sick and litters for the removal of the dead.\n\n18. All registered brothels shall be scavenged, cleansed and lime-whited by their owners under Government inspection as often as the Sanitary Board shall deem necessary.\n\n19. The Sanitary Board shall frame sanitary instructions for the guidance of Police Inspectors in charge of Villages.\n\n20. Organization similar to that proposed for the city of Victoria, shall be extended to the Villages. Each of the following Villages shall have a temporary Volunteer Inspector to assist the Village Police in Sanitary matters, viz.: \n| Village        | \n|--------------- |\n| YAUMATI        |\n| HUNGRÒM        |\n| SHAUKIWÁN      |\n| ABERDEEN       |\n| APLICHAU       |\n| STANLEY        |\n| PORFULAM       |\n\nIn the foregoing shall be included the rural districts and hamlets falling within the present Police jurisdiction of each Village respectively.\n\n21. The Volunteer Inspectors shall be authorized by the Sanitary Board to enter any house suspected by them of containing a Cholera case, and to take such steps therein as they may deem necessary for the removal of the patient or the disinfection of the tenement.\n\n22. There shall be a temporary European Inspector of markets attached to each public market for the continuous supervision of the food supplies of the city; and the Inspectors shall take due care to destroy any food which may be found to be in an unwholesome condition.\n\n23. Butchers in Villages shall be allowed to store meat only in such sheds and places as may be specially erected and set apart for the purpose in each Village by the Sanitary Board.\n\n24. With a view to avoid the delays, inseparable from the payment of bills in the usual way, the Sanitary Board shall receive from Government a credit of $10,000. This amount shall be advanced by the Colonial Treasury and lodged in the Bank to the credit of the Board.\n\n25. The operation of these sanitary provisions shall extend to all ships, other than men-of-war, and to all junks, boats, and other craft in the harbour of Victoria, or in the waters of the Colony. In respect of the harbour of Victoria, one or more Officers shall be appointed to act as Volunteer Inspectors afloat, and shall be provided with steam-launches for the purpose, and with all the necessary men, boats, materials, appliances and disinfectants which they may require for giving assistance to Cholera stricken persons afloat, or for the speedy removal and burial of corpses.\n\n26. Any ship other than a man-of-war, having a case of Cholera on board, shall hoist the yellow flag Q of the Commercial Code at the main, and shall report the case immediately to the Health Officer, or to the Inspector, or at the Harbour Master's Office, and the Inspector upon seeing the signal flying, or receiving intimation of such case go on board and take such steps as he may deem necessary for assisting the patient, or for the removal and burial of the corpse, and the destruction or disinfection of the bedding and clothing.\n\nPage 109",

It is very desirable that some definitive matter toming be arrived at as to how these analyses are to be made, more especially with regard to water as the work should be done before the hot and sickly season arrive, because it is highly probable the abomination of last summer will be repeated this year and forcibly with greater cause.\n\n2. Disinfectants. With reference to the doctor's second recommendation the Ground has already recommended in the pamphlet \"How to oppose cholera\" the use of sulphate of iron as a disinfectant for choleraic excreta. Should the necessity arise this vitriol salt can be used in the public Latrines in lieu of quick-lime. It is made in Hong Kong and can be purchased locally at a low rate.\n\nThe acid or more correctly speaking the per-salts of iron cannot be obtained in quantity locally, and I doubt if their superiority over the ventral or proto-salts of iron is such as to justify importing them when the latter can be obtained at a much cheaper rate on the spot. However, in view of Dr. Buchanan's recommendation it would be advisable to get quotations from the Crown Agents of the price of some commercial acid in per-salts form. The necessity of having a large supply of disinfectants always in store is obvious.

        "content_text": "302\n\n296\n\nTHE SANITARY RECORD.\n\n(F) Power of Entry\nUnder sect. 102, Public Health Act, 1875, the local authority or any of its officers have power of entry to any premises to examine for nuisances, enforcing the smoke prevention provisions, or examine as to recurring nuisances.\n\nTo enter upon land (sect. 105, Public Health Act, 1875) for the purposes of making plans, surveying, measuring, levelling, keeping in repair or examining works, ascertain the course of sewers or drains, or ascertaining or fixing boundaries and many other purposes.\n\nQuestion 3.\nWhat are the chief principles to be observed in the sewerage of a town or district, and how would you proceed to determine the size and capacity of the outfall sewer? What size of sewer would you propose for a town of 25,000 population where the gradient is 1 in 300? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Geographical configuration, annual average rainfall, number of present population and prospective increase, taking the last census as a basis. Whether a full water-closet town, or if to be sewered on the separate system: the nature of the outfall with a view to gravitation or mechanical lifting, and other minor causes.\n\nThe size of the outfall sewer, in my opinion, should be not less than 3 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, discharging 185 cubic feet per minute, thus allowing the sewage at 30 cubic feet per head per day to be discharged in eight hours. On the separate system this capacity for a full water closet town, and to allow for heavy rainfalls, say 3 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, if rain or surface waters is to be included, discharging 267 cubic feet per minute, with the inclination given of 1 in 300.\n\nQuestion 4\nWrite a specification for laying stoneware pipe sewers.\n\nAnswer: Being the specification for a pipe sewer, I assume that any local surveyor would be equal to this, and as it would take up a very considerable space in the SANITARY RECORD, without a corresponding benefit to surveyors generally, I omit to take up the space, the general features of such a specification being that the pipes shall be straight, sound, and true to bore, well and truly laid, and jointed in a perfectly water-tight manner; the earth excavated at the collars so that the body of the pipe may have a true bearing along its whole length. If in faulty ground concreted all around and on top to exclude uneven pressure; if on good ground, then the earth put in 6-inch layers, well rammed in around and above to avoid sinkage. All laid in straight lines from manhole to manhole, with provision for ventilation and lighting, so that a lamp inserted at a lamphole may be seen and show a light to an adjacent manhole, thus at once showing where any stoppage existed.\n\nQuestion 5.\nSupposing a sewer to have a gradient of 1 in 300, how much would the velocity and discharge be increased by altering the gradient to 1 in 60?\n\nAnswers: 1 in 300 = 4/57*32) = 7*92 increase of discharge per second. 1 in 60 = /1000 = 10*00) = 17*32 (1.732 increase of velocity per second.\n\n1005\n\n7320\n\n2000\n\n3200\n\n3000\n\n2000\n\n22000\n\nQuestion 6.\nGive a description of the process termed intermittent downward filtration. State what area of land you would require with a gravelly soil for applying this method of purifying sewage to a town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants; and state the arrangements you would adopt for dealing with the rain water falling on the roofs, yards, and streets.\n\nAnswer: Intermittent downward filtration may be termed a natural system of purification of sewage by means of the filtering and aërating action of the soil: it is carried on by discharging (with or without previous precipitation) upon a properly prepared area, the sewage of the town under drainage. This sewage is conducted upon the prepared area by a series of carriers, and then allowed to filter through the land into drains laid about 6 feet under ground, from whence it (as an effluent) is conducted to its outfall, mostly a river. The action upon the sewage is threefold—viz., evaporation, aëration, and filtration, and if properly conducted should give an effluent of a very high standard.\n\nAs to the amount of land requisite for the purification of the sewage of a town of 20,000 population, authorities differ, but taking the daily amount of sewage per head at 30 gallons, and the average of five persons to each house equal to 150 gallons per house per day, then the fact that this quantity must be got rid of in about eight hours, it would not be safe to reckon less than 1,000 gallons per house. Then taking 4,000 houses, there would be 4,000,000 gallons of sewage to deal with, which could be successfully treated on 5 acres of such land; but it would, of course, require that a very far larger amount should be provided, as no land could be expected to be constantly under treatment, and the least amount should be five times this quantity, so as to have only one-fifth under treatment.\n\nGreat diversity of opinion exists upon this subject, and no very hard and fast line can be drawn. Each case must rest upon individual merits and local circumstances.\n\nWith regard to dealing with rain-water from roofs, most of it should undoubtedly be stored for domestic use, as it is far too valuable to be uselessly wasted. Drainage from yards and roads should be conducted in separate channels (from the sewer proper) to a natural outfall: although often in storms the washings from roads may be nearly as bad as sewage; but, on the other hand, if the surface-water were admitted, the sewers would have to be greatly increased in size to provide for excessive rainfall.\n\nQuestion 7.\nDescribe and illustrate by sketches the essential points to be observed in carrying out a system of house drainage, and the best means of providing urinal and closet accommodation for schools, workhouses, and similar institutions.\n\nQuestion 8.\nIn arranging the water supply for a manufacturing town of 30,000 inhabitants, state what you consider of importance as regards (A) Sources of supply; (B) Quantity required; (C) Distribution.\n\nAnswer: (A) The geographical situation of the town, as to the possibility of gravitation from rivers or otherwise; the geological situation of its surroundings, with a view to its probability of affording a sufficiency of supply and its nature as to hardness, &c.; the annual average rainfall: what water rights, if any, existed; the present population and prospective rate of increase, and whether the town was a full water-closet one or otherwise.\n\n(B) Twenty-five to thirty gallons per head population.\n\n(C) Under pressure that all cisterns had ball-cocks and tell-tale overflows; that Deacon's waste-water preventers were in use; that a thorough system of inspection existed to detect waste; that the mains were well laid and efficiently jointed, and that a sufficiency existed for immediate use in case of fire. In the constant service system there is very little, if any, waste; the returns from many towns showing none; but in the intermittent there is often a large amount of waste through neglect of the inhabitants and defective fittings. The screw-down tap somewhat modifies this, but it is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of drawing water.\n\nQuestion 9.\nDescribe the general characters of the waters derived from—(1) The chalk; (2) the new red sandstone; (3) the carboniferous formations; and the methods by which water should be obtained from each.\n\nAnswer: (1) Water derived from the chalk formation, although generally pure and plentiful (except in long seasons of drought), is often very hard, leaving injurious effects on some constitutions.\n\n(2) Water derived from the new red sandstone formation is sometimes of a rather hard description, but not to the degree of that yielded by the chalk formation.\n\n(3) The carboniferous (or coal measure) formations always yields soft water of undoubted purity, and generally in ample volume for all purposes.\n\nQuestion 10.\nIn what ways is water able to be polluted after collection, during its distribution to houses, and in houses? What means would you adopt to prevent such pollution?\n\nAnswer: Water may become polluted after collection by fungoid growths and atmospheric influences (where exposed to such): during distribution, from imperfect pipes and joints allowing sewer or other gas to enter the mains; in houses, by improper fittings, such as a cistern in direct communication with the drain, or so placed as to be difficult of cleansing, and frequently not ventilated, and other insidious causes.\n\nQuestion 11.\nWhat fittings, and plumber's work generally are required for a high-pressure constant water service? How would you make the connection with the main? Describe the kinds of joints which should be used on the branches?\n\nAnswer: The class of fittings required for the high-pressure constant service are iron tubular services with iron angle or T-pieces, either tinned or galvanised. Where lead must be used the joints should be what is known as plumber's or wiped joints, the taps being those known as the high-pressure screw-down service taps, the connection with the main being by a ferrule; plumber's joints on branches, unless iron unions are used.\n\nQuestion 12.\nThere is great difficulty in obtaining a supply of good water for a country house, and it is therefore necessary to obtain as much water as possible from the roofs, and to use it for drinking and cooking purposes. The total area of area of the roof of the house and offices is 8,000 square feet, and the average annual rainfall is about 40 inches. Calculate what size the storage tank should be, and give a sketch of it and of its appendages?\n\nAnswer: Size of storage tank, 160,000 gallons.\n\nQuestion 13.\nTo what extent does the size of a room affect the quantity of fresh air required for effective ventilation, and what quantity of air would be required per hour for a room containing 8,000 cubic feet, occupied by fifteen people? How would you ventilate such a room? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Douglas Galton in 'Healthy Homes' quotes: \"According to theoretical calculations, it would appear that, with an initial air space of 1,000 cubic feet, occupied by one individual, it would be necessary to supply 3,000 cubic feet per hour, to maintain the room in a proper condition of humidity. As regards other impurities, if 0.6 per 1,000 of CO2 are accepted as the limit of respiratory impurity in a well-ventilated air space, in addition to the 0.4 per 1,000 in normal air, we can calculate out the amount of air necessary for the purpose; and from this calculation it appears that it requires 3,000 cubic feet per hour to preserve the air-space in the required state of freshness. Thus the theoretical calculations, based first upon humidity, and secondly on carbonic acid, bring us to similar conclusions in each case.\"\n\nDe Chaumont in Parkes' 'Practical Hygiene': \"A certain amount of fresh air has to pass through a given space in a fixed time in order to maintain a certain degree of purity; the amount has been fixed at 3,000 cubic feet for each healthy person in an hour. Thus a space of 100 cubic feet must have its air changed thirty times in an hour. If 3,000 feet of air are to be given, while a space of 1,000 cubic feet need only have it changed three times in an hour for an equal ventilation, then our problem being 15 persons in a room of 8,000 cubic feet, would work out thus: - 3,000 x 15 = 45,000 cubic feet of air as requisite. The room being of 8,000 cubic feet capacity would require the air to be changed nearly 5.6 times in an hour.\n\nCOMPETITIONS.\nSANITARY INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN.\nAt an Examination, held Nov. 11 and 12, 62 Candidates presented themselves as Local Surveyors and 59 as Inspectors of Nuisances.

        "content_text": "67. The Annual Reports of this Department are regularly sent in exchange to all our correspondents.\n\n68. The library contains, besides the various reports and papers, 270 volumes.\n\n69. In Appendix No. 1 I record a few notes made during a visit to San Ui in the delta of the Canton river on the Palm which is cultivated extensively by the Chinese for the production of leaves for making fans, rain coats for coolies, and for use as thatch, for which it is so extensively employed in South China.\n\nFORESTRY.\n\n70. The area of ground operated on in artificial reproduction was smaller than in some previous years. It was necessary to reduce the operations of 1886 for two reasons, one of which was in consequence of the weakening of the controlling staff, and the other was to meet the circumstances of the reduced vote for 1887 which was contemplated in 1885. By providing a small balance from the vote for 1886 I was enabled to devote it to the operations which could be carried out in that year as part of the following season's planting, thus enabling us to accomplish more work during the present year when the staff is again complete and competent to resume the full complement of work.\n\n71. The number of trees planted was nearly up to the average. It was in the rearing of trees in situ that the diminution of area operated on was effected. This operation was entirely suspended. With the exception of a few thousands of trees planted in the neighbourhood of Deep-water Bay the planting was successfully accomplished. The few which were not successful suffered for want of water in a spell of dry weather which succeeded the planting of them.\n\n72. The total number of trees planted was 299,911, of these 293,000 were China Pines, 4,500 Camphor trees, and 1,000 Pride of India trees. The remainder consisted of miscellaneous trees to the number of about 1,200.\n\n73. CAMPHOR TREE.-A large number of trees of this species were planted in 1885, and they are in fairly good condition. It is probable that this tree will be successful in Hongkong, but it is too early to yet pronounce positively one way or another on the subject. If the conditions do prove suitable for the tree, it will be a valuable acquisition, for besides affording pleasant variety to the sylvan effects of the landscapes, the timber may in time be of value.\n\n74. The early made plantations of China Pines at high altitudes, and in wind-swept patches do not, as I anticipated, succeed very well. However to put the theory to the test a sufficient number of trees were planted in exposed places and at high elevations for experiment. Now the selection of lands for planting is made at comparatively low altitudes.\n\n75. PINUS MASSONIANA. In 1882 I obtained from Japan seeds of this tree which is indigenous to that country, and of a sturdy habit, with which to experiment for cultivation above the height at which the China Pine did well. The seeds were sown in situ at an altitude of from 1,000 to 1,400 feet. The growth of the tree is slower than that of the China Pine, but the trees are very healthy and of robust habit, and they seem well adapted for bearing the adverse conditions for general tree growth which prevail towards the tops of the hills.\n\n76. QUERCUS FISSA.--At the same altitude as the Japanese Pine, young trees of this Hongkong Oak were planted. Some of them, where a little sheltered, have grown very well, and they now measure as much as 9 feet in height and the same in diameter.\n\n77. TRISTANEA CONFERTA.-A member of the myrtle family, and native of North Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales. It grows into a large tree and the timber is well spoken of in Australia. The rapid growth of a solitary tree of this which had been introduced from one of the Botanic Gardens of Australia, and planted in our Botanic Garden led me to send to Australia for a supply of seeds. From these 800 trees were raised in 1883 and planted out three years ago. The majority were planted on the north side of the island at about 300 feet altitude, and a number of them at a similar height on the south side of the dividing ridge. All have made remarkable progress, the height of the trees now being as much in many instances as 20 feet. The growth and vigour is greater than that of any tree yet tried, if we except the Gum trees, and of these only a few kinds equal the Tristanea.\n\n78. GUM TREES.—The Eucalyptus trees continue to do well. Of those planted near the Military Sanitarium two years ago a few species have become splendid vigorous trees. These are on the top of a ridge where the soil is naturally loose and deep. At the same time as these trees were planted, a quantity of the same species were planted at not more than 100 to 200 feet above sea-level, those near the Sanitarium are at about 800 feet. Of twelve kinds three succeeded better at the low level than corresponding plants of the same species at the higher level, five succeeded better at the higher level, while four succeeded equally at both places. The result of the experiment is therefore slightly in favour of the higher altitude for Eucalyptus cultivation.\n\n79. ALEURITES VERNICIA----(Chinese Varnish and Wood-oil-tree.) A plantation of this on Mt. Parker is flourishing and has entirely met my anticipations. The young trees are of an average height of about 2 feet. The situation of the plantation is well sheltered and the soil is good and deep. Seeds, however, which were sown at the same time near Pokfulam in an equally sheltered position, but where the soil was shallow, and in which there was a large mixture of stones, have produced trees very inferior to those on Mt. Parker.\n\n80. SOWING BROADCAST in Situ.-In 1883 and 1885 experiments were made of sowing seeds broadcast amongst grass in various places without any preparation of the soil. In two places the results have been very good, and the young trees are so promising that I intend to adopt the method on a larger scale on lands similar to those where the experiments succeeded. The cost has not yet been accurately ascertained, but it appears so small that I believe double the area of that accomplished by transplanting from nurseries can be operated on in an equally successful manner by the new method. The selection and demarcation of the lands suitable for the system will, however, require to be done carefully by European agency, and this, under the present organization of the staff, seems hardly possible with the great amount of other work which demands all available time.\n\n81. BAMBOOS.-In 1885 an operation, which has not yet been reported, was commenced in the Bowrington Plantation of dividing large clumps of bamboos and transplanting them in one of the divisions with a view to the replacement with the bamboos of the pine trees which now exist there, and of the production of a supply of bamboo canes for the use of the department, and probably for sale. The soil and situation is well adapted for the bamboo, and if the whole of the enclosure be planted with bamboo there should in the course of a few years be an annual revenue from that source.\n\n82. I hope to be able to introduce from the bamboo growing districts to the north-west of Canton, and from other places, many of the valuable kinds of bamboo which are of such inestimable use to the Chinese. These will be planted in the Bowrington Plantation, besides placing one specimen of each kind in the collection within the Botanic Gardens.\n\n83. PHYLLANTHUS EMBLICA.--This is a small shrub, a member of the large order of Euphorbiaceae, which bears an edible fruit, often an inch in diameter, of a very acid taste, somewhat resembling a hard smooth, round, green gooseberry, and which is apparently palatable to the natives. It is found growing wild scattered about various places in the Colony, not very high above sea-level.\n\n84. The bark is a valuable tanning material, and is in much request by fishermen, so much so that we have great trouble in conserving the shrubs which exist. I am informed that the fishermen place a higher value on it as a tanning material than even on Mangrove bark.\n\n85. I have procured a large quantity of seeds of this plant, and they will be sown in the nurseries with a view to rearing plants for making plantations with. It may be possible that plantations of it will in time be valuable.\n\n88. CLEARING OFF BRUSHWOOD.-The brushwood in some plantations having become ranker than desirable near roads where it impeded free passage of currents of wind, and where it afforded too much cover, I arranged to have the most advanced plantations cleared of the undergrowth. The plantations through which the Peak road passes have been done.\n\n87. Those near Kennedy Road are begun and the work there and in other plantations will be continued when more important works free men to enable them to do it.\n\n88. The clearance of undergrowth will not only be done free of expense to the Government, but revenue will be collected from it.\n\n89. SPECIMENS FOR INDIAN AND COLONIAL EXHIBITION. A collection of specimens of wood of different kinds of Hongkong trees was made and taken with me to England, where they were cut and polished, and afterwards named and set up in the Exhibition.\n\n90. Specimens of a large number of articles made from bamboo and used in domestic economy were afterwards collected by the Acting Superintendent and forwarded to the Exhibition.\n\n91. PLANTING OPERATIONS BY CONTRACTS.-These are done under five different contracts. They are-1. Supplying Seeds, 2. Rearing Trees in Nurseries, 3. Making Tree Pits, 4. Planting Trees, and 5 Rearing Trees in Situ.\n\n92. Prices paid vary somewhat one year with another. For instance the price paid for Seeds in 1885 was higher, with one exception, than at any other time. The contract just made is next to the lowest on record. The contract for 1885 for making Tree Pits was higher, than it was in the two previous years, while that just made is fixed at the same price as the previous one. The 1885 contract for Planting Trees while lower than in some previous ones was about fifty per cent, higher than the last contract for the same kind of work. The 1885 contract for Rearing Trees was lower than it was in the two previous years, but not so low as it was three years before, while it was a good deal higher than the one recently made.\n\n93. Last year's tenders threw out the experienced men who had for several years given satisfaction in Rearing Trees. A new man entirely without experience in this work received a contract for all the trees which were wanted. Although the contract price is low, we are paying dearly for the contractor's inexperience as the trees are the most inferior which I remember,\n\n355",

MAX VON PETTENKOFER.\n\n\"I consider the impression which plants and plantations make upon our minds and senses to be of hygienic value; further, their influence upon the conformation of the soil with which health is in many respects connected; and finally, their influence upon other qualities of the air, than carbonic acid, oxygen, and ozone: among these may be mentioned in passing, shade in summer, and decrease of wind and dust.\"\n\n\"It is an old observation, needing no demonstration, that the cheerful and happy man lives not only an easier, but on the average, a more healthy life than the depressed and morose man. Medical men, and especially mad doctors, could tell us much of the great value of a certain relative proportion of pleasurable and painful impressions upon health, and how frequently some unfortunate position, an absence of pleasure, or too much of painful impression is the cause of serious illness.....\"\n\n\"I consider flowers in a room for all to whom they give pleasure, to be one of the enjoyments of life, like condiments in food. It is certainly one of the most harmless and refined. We cannot live on pleasure alone: but, to those who have something to put up with in life, their beloved flowers perform good service.\"\n\nThe same may be said of private gardens and public grounds, and of the artistic perfecting of them. The more tastefully laid out, the better the effect. Though tastes differ, there is a general standard of taste which lasts for several generations, though it varies from time to time, and is subject to fashion. As their object is to give pleasure, public grounds should accord with the taste of the age, or aim at cultivating it. This is a justification for going to some expense for aesthetic ends.\"\n\n\"Modern hygiene has observed that certain variations in the moisture of the soil have a great influence on the origin and spread of certain epidemic diseases, as for instance cholera and typhoid fever—that these diseases do not become epidemic when the moisture in the soil is not above or below a certain level, and has remained so for a time. These variations can be measured with greater accuracy by the ground-water of the soil than by the rain-fall, because in the latter case we have to determine how much water penetrates the ground, how much runs off the surface, and how much evaporates at once.\n\nThe amount of moisture in the soil of a forest is subject to considerably less variation than that outside. Ebermayer has deduced the following result from his meteorological observations on forestry: If from the soil of an open space 100 parts of water evaporate, then from the soil of a forest free from underwood 38 parts would evaporate, and from a soil covered with underwood only 15 parts would evaporate. This simple fact explains clearly why the cutting down of wood over tracts of country is always followed by the drying up of wells and springs.\"\n\n\"In India, the home of cholera, much importance has been attached in recent times to plantations as preventives of it. It has been always observed that the villages in wooded districts suffer less than those in treeless plains. Many instances of this are given in the reports of Dr. Bryden, President of the Statistical Office in Calcutta, and Dr. Murray, Inspector of Hospitals. For instance, Bryden compares the district of the Mahanadda, one of the Northern tributaries of the Ganges, the almost tree-less district of Rajpoor, with the forest district of Sambalpoor. It is stated that in the villages in the plain of Rajpoor, sixty or seventy per cent of the inhabitants are sometimes swept away by cholera in three or four days, while the wooded district of Sambalpoor is often free from it, or it is much less severe.\n\nThe district commissioner, who had to make a tour in the district on account of the occurrence of cholera, reports among other things as follows:----\n\n\"The road to Sambalpoor runs for sixty or seventy miles through the forest, which round Petorah and Jenkfluss is very dense. Now it is a remarkable fact, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that on this route, traversed daily by hundreds of travellers, vehicles, and baggage-trains, the cholera rarely appears in this extent of sixty miles, and when it does appear it is in mild form; but when we come to the road from Arang, westward to Chicholee Bunglalon, which runs for about ninety miles through a barren, treeless plain, we find the cholera every year in its more severe form, the dead and dying lying by the wayside, and trains of vehicles half of whose conductors are dead.\"\n\nIn the same report Dr. Bryden continues :-\n\n\"I will mention one other fact as a result of observations, namely, that places surrounded by those vast and splendid groves which are occasionally seen lying in low and probably marshy situations surrounded by hills, and which, from the mass of decaying vegetation, are very subject to fever in September, October, and November, are seldom visited by Cholera, and if it occurs there are but few deaths, while places on high ground, or in what are called fine, airy situations, free from trees and without hills near, so that they are thoroughly ventilated suffer very much from cholera.'\n\nMurray gives a number of instances showing the influence of trees on the spread of cholera, one of these may find a place here.\n\n\"The fact is generally believed and not long ago the medical officer of Jatisgar in central India, offered a striking proof of it. During the wide-spread epidemic of cholera in Allahabad, in 1859, those parts of the garrison whose barracks had the advantage of having trees near them enjoyed indisputable exemption, and precisely in proportion to the thickness and nearness of the shelter. Thus the European Cavalry in the Wellington Barracks, which stand between four rows of mango trees, but are yet to a certain extent open, suffered much less than the Fourth European Regiment, whose quarters were on a hill exposed to the full force of the wind; while the Bengal Horse Artillery, who were in a thicket of mango trees, had not a single case of sickness; and the exemption cannot be regarded as accidental, as the next year the comparative immunity was precisely the same.'\n\n\"We need not however go to India to observe similar instances of the influence of a certain degree of moisture in the soil favoured by woods or other conditions; we can find them much nearer home. In the cholera epidemic of 1854, in Bavaria, it was generally observed that the places in the moors were saved, in spite of the otherwise bad condition of the inhabitants. The great plain of the Danube from Newburg to Ingolstadt was surrounded by places where it was epidemic, while in the plain itself there were but a few scattered cases. The same thing has been demonstrated by Reinhard, President of the Saxon Medical College. Cholera has visited Saxony eight times since 1836, and every time it spared the northerly district between Elbe and Spree, where ague is endemic.\n\n\"Even if these deductions must be accepted with caution from an etiological point of view, still, on the whole, they indisputably tell in favour of trees and of woods.”\n\n\"Surface vegetation has also other advantages, besides its use in regulating the moisture in the soil; it purifies it from the drainage of human habitations whereby it is contaminated and impregnated. If this refuse matter remains in soil destitute of growing vegetation, further decomposition sets in, and other processes are induced, not always of a salubrious nature, but often deleterious the products of which reach us by means of air and water and may penetrate into our houses. A great deal of heat is neutralized by evaporation from the leaves, another portion by the decomposition of carbonic acid, just so much as is set free when we burn the wood and other organic combinations into the composition of which it enters. The heat produced by burning wood in a stove is derived from the sun; it is but the captured rays of the sun again set free by combustion. We learn from Ebermayer's work that the temperature of the trees in a forest, and even in the tops of them, is always lower than the air in the forest.\"\n\n\"Besides this, shade in the open air always causes a certain draught which acts as a kind of fan. All must have noticed when walking in an oppressive heat, when the air seems still as death, that a refreshing breeze arises as soon as a cloud casts a shade.”\n\n\"The shade of a single tree, therefore, cools not only by intercepting the sun's rays, but also by the effect of gentle fanning. The shelter of a thick wood, however, is much more agreeable than that of a single tree. The air in a wood is cooler than that of an open space exposed to the sun. The air from outside is drawn into the wood, is cooled by it, and cools us again. And it is not only the air that cools us, but the trees themselves. Observation has shown that the trunks of trees in a wood breast-high, even at the hottest time of day, are 5° Centigrade cooler than the air. We therefore lose considerable heat by radiation to these cooler objects, and can cool ourselves more easily at a temperature of 25° Centigrade in a wood than at a much lower temperature in an open space.\"\n\nCHARLES FORD, Superintendent,\n\nBotanical and Afforestation Department,",

Flowers, small, on stalks 3 to 9 lines long, bright yellow, arranged in rather dense terminal and lateral cymes; bracts, few, linear. Calyx, small, persistent, very deeply cleft; sepals, about 1 line long, acute, imbricated. Corolla, rotate, 8 to 9 lines diam., tube 3 to 4 lines long, surmounted by 5 equal lobes 2 to 3 lines long, inner surface of tube marked with red spots. Stamens 5, inserted on base of corolla tube and alternate with the lobes of the corolla, exserted, but shorter than the lobes; filaments equal; anthers lanceolate. Ovary stalked, on a short gynophore, tapering into a style 3 lines long, two-celled, containing many ascending ovules in each cell; style bi-cleft, each division being again slightly divided into two spreading stigmas. Fruit, a brown, dry, oblong, inflated, membraneous capsule, about 1 inch long, having two opposite deep furrows running from base to apex; dehiscence, septicidal. Seeds, very small, furnished with reddish-brown, reniform and imbricated wings.\n\nThe above characters were observed on a specimen gathered on the hills overlooking Mirs Bay, at the back of the city of Kowloon in the Kwangtung province, and on another growing on Mount Gough, on the island of Hongkong; the description of the fruit is taken from specimens gathered on the Canton West River.\n\nGelsemium elegans may now be seen growing in the Hongkong Botanical Gardens.\n\nHABITAT. This shrub grows sparingly in Hongkong, but more abundantly on the hills of the neighbouring mainland of China (Champion, Wright, Wilford, Hance, &c.). In November, 1885, Mr. Westland found a large number of specimens in full flower, climbing round trees to a height of about 12 feet near the Eastern base of Tai Mo Shan.2 It has\n\n1. Flora Hong kongensis, p 229.\n\n2. This is the loftiest (about 3,000 feet) of the hills on the coast of China immediately opposite to the island of Hongkong.\n\nalso been observed growing luxuriantly on the banks of the West River, about 120 miles from Canton (Ford), near the district of Lo ting, and in ravines on the island of Lantau, opposite the mouths of the Canton river (Westland). In the Pên ts'ao (Chap. XVII) it is declared a native of the provinces of Chekiang, Kwangtung, Kwangsi, Sze-chuen, and Yunnan. According to Bentham, this poisonous plant also grows in Sumatra, being probably identical with Zygopteris sumatrana, Blume. It flowers in October, November and December and matures its seeds in April and May.\n\nIt differs from the N. American species1 of this genus in having smaller, scentless, flowers, larger leaves, and smaller fruits and seeds.\n\nPARTS USED, &c. - The root is the only part of the plant used in medicine. As met with in the native drug-shops in Hongkong under the name\n\nM.: Hu muan ch'iang;\n\nC.: U mun k'eung, it consists of thick pieces of the underground stem with or without portions of the true root and rootlets attached.\n\nA piece of the root in our possession exhibits the following characters. Cortical layer, thick, easily removed from central woody portion, externally of a brown colour, wrinkled, marked at intervals of from ¼ to ½ inch by transverse cracks, extending about half way round, and as far as the medullary layer. A section of the latter shows the medullary rays stretching through the yellow woody portion in a manner similar to that displayed by the root of G. nitidum.2\n\n1. In the South. E. States, G. nitidum, Michaux, the source of the eclectic remedy Gelsemin) is known as Wild Yellow Jessamine or False Jasmine. We prefer to avoid the use of the terms Jasmine or Jessamine in the case of the China species. These names ought to have distinct generic significance, and should be applied only to plants of the genus Jasminum, with which Gelsemium was formerly classed. The value of popular botanical names will be seriously impaired, if their indiscriminate use becomes general.\n\n2. Syn. Bignonia sempervirens, Linn; G. sempervirens, Aiton; G. lucidum, Poir. This species is figured in Bentley and Trimen's Medicinal Plants, (1880), Vol. III, No. 181,\n\nNOTES ON CHINESE MATERIA MEDICA.\n\nWhen cut with a sharp knife, the central woody part shows a waxy section.\n\nThere is every reason to believe, that, in the majority of instances, supplies of this drug are brought from the hill sides only as they are wanted. In but few shops can specimens be seen. This fact will possibly account for the scarcity of the plant on the island of Hongkong: the careless collector doubtless destroys a shrub each time he gathers the drug, the root being the only part sought for.\n\nCHEMICAL COMPOSITION. - The active principle of this drug is due to an alkaloid which was first isolated in the Government Laboratory in the course of an enquiry ordered by Her Majesty's Coroner in the early part of 1884. This alkaloid is new to chemical science, and its discovery adds one more to the list of the STRYCHNINE OR TETANUS-PRODUCING GROUP OF ALKALOIDS. Its most characteristic reaction is the production of a deep violet colouration when in contact with oxidizing agents. If the alkaloid is present in very small quantity an observer might confound the colour with that displayed by Strychnine and Gelsemine under similar circumstances. In such a case the observer should apply side by side the same reagents to the alkaloids of Strychnos nux vomica and Gelsemium nitidum - a practised eye will at once note the difference.\n\nThe following table shows at a glance the different colours produced when manganese oxide and sulphuric acid are applied to---\n\nThe alkaloid1 of Gelsemium elegans.\n\nGelsemine.\n\nStrychnine.\n\nA deep violet colouration, changing to a rich green, which latter tint is more marked at the edges.\n\nA damask-purple colour, changing rapidly to and one of a rich purple hue.\n\nA deep purplish-violet colour, finally assuming a cherry-red tint.\n\n1. Pharmaceutical Journal, (3), XVI., p. 95 and 496; also Hongkong Government Gazette, Vol. XXXI, p. 344.\n\n217\n\nThese colours are all evanescent, but that displayed by the first mentioned alkaloid is more lasting than the others. The alkaloid of G. elegans is not associated with gelseminic acid, and unlike Strychnine and Gelsemine (P), it will not bear the action of sulphuric acid at a temperature of 100° C.\n\nThe publication of other chemical features of this alkaloid is reserved for a future paper.\n\nTOXICOLOGICAL NOTE. - In cases of poisoning by any preparation of the root of G. elegans, no difficulty should be experienced, in detecting the active principle in the contents of the stomach, provided, first, that the victim had not vomited to any extent after receiving the dose, and second, that death had ensued within a few hours of the administration of the poison. The method adopted in the Laboratory of the Government Civil Hospital is a modification of Stas's alkaloidal process. The viscera is treated with about twice its weight of absolute alcohol, acidified with tartaric acid, and digested for a few hours in a flask at a temperature of about 70° C., cooled and filtered. The filtrate is evaporated to the consistence of a soft extract, and treated with successive quantities of absolute alcohol and water, so as to free the alkaloid, if present, from as much extraneous matter as possible. The necessary evaporations may be conducted at a temperature of 100°C. The extract after the last alcoholic treatment is now dissolved in a little water and filtered, and the solution (acid) after being well washed with ether until nothing farther is removed - is made slightly alkaline with ammonia, and immediately shaken with a suitable volume of ether. The ethereal layer, which now contains the alkaloid, is removed; and this treatment having been repeated, the ethereal solutions of alkaloid are mixed, and divided into two parts. The first half should be evaporated\n\n1. Pharmaceutical Journal, (3), XVI., p. 642.\n\n2. This washing of the acid solution with ether ought never to be omitted.\n\n133",

The second half should be carefully evaporated to dryness on the inverted covers of three or four porcelain crucible lids and tested, in the manner already described, with sulphuric acid and manganic oxide. In practice, it will be found that a small quantity of organic contamination does not interfere with the delicacy of the reaction. If the process has been conducted with that scrupulous care which should invariably accompany toxicological investigations, the life-test will most probably furnish confirmatory evidence, in support of that derived from the application of chemical reagents.\n\nUSES &c.—The author of the Pên ts'ao states1 that this drug is never used internally as a medicine, although preparations of the root are recommended to be applied in the treatment of boils and ulcers. According to the Rev. F. Faber, the root is sometimes secretly used internally in the Kwang-tung province in certain forms of disease. The evidence of Chinese doctors in Hong-kong corroborates this statement. By some, it is regarded as a specific in ring-worm and leprosy.\n\nIt is, however, to its use as an agent in criminal poisoning, that this plant owes its notoriety. It seems to have perplexed coroners in repeated cases that occurred in this Colony between 1867 and 1871.\n\nIn 1872, application was made to the Director of the Botanical Gardens, by Dr. Richard Young, the then Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, for the identification of a plant—said to have been used in a case of poisoning—which, on examination, turned out to be Gelsemium elegans.\n\nWe have details of four well-authenticated cases since that date; three of which\n\n1 Pên ts'ao Kang mu, Chap. XVII,\n\noccurred in Hongkong, the fourth in Canton. The three former are dealt with by Dr. Wharry in an appendix to this paper. The 1874 case is of special interest, from the fact, that, at the Coroner's inquest, evidence was given to the effect, that four mace (=half an ounce avoirdupois) of the root had been used in the preparation of the decoction, which caused the death of an adult male in two hours. The instance in 1884 possesses historical interest, from the fact, that the alkaloid to which the activity of the root is due, was first isolated in the Laboratory of the Government Civil Hospital, and found to possess characters, distinct enough, to allow of its detection, by chemical means, in toxicological investigations.\n\nThe following particulars of the Canton tragedy, and of the fate that met the female who was alleged to have poisoned four people, are taken from a translation of the Chinese narrative of the affair by the Rev. E. R. Eichler. The woman appears to have collected from the hills the root of the T'üa ch'ëung ts'ao (eat bowels grass) or Tai ta'a yip tang (great toa leaf creeper), and to have put it in a hamper in the kitchen, pending a favourable opportunity for boiling it with her husband's rice. While her back was turned, a relative seems to have taken the root, and boiled it together with some spinach, in the family congee. With the exception of the accused, all, (four in number) partook of the meal and died. The woman was tried by the authorities in Canton, found guilty, and condemned to death by the Ling ch'ih process, which, in this instance, consisted in cutting the body of the criminal into a number of pieces, four cuts being made—two on the forehead and two on the breasts—previous to piercing the heart.\n\nPHYSIOLOGICAL NOTE.\n\nAt Mr. Crow's request, I have jotted down my experience of the T'ün ch'eung ts'ao.\n\nWhen I arrived in Hongkong in February\n\n1 China Mail, Sept. 9th, 1886; see also letter of Govt. Analyst in issue of 12th following.\n\nNOTES ON CHINESE MATERIA MEDICA.\n\n1873 to take charge of the Civil Hospital, I was called on to perform almost the whole of the medico-legal work of the Colony, and thus speedily became acquainted with one of the uses, or abuses, of this plant.\n\nIn 1873, I had to examine the bodies of several women who had committed suicide with it, and I learned that the plant was well known to the Chinese, especially to the women who eat grass on the hill sides.\n\nHaving no previous knowledge of the plant, and finding no mention of it or its properties in works on materia medica or toxicology, I procured specimens and administered a fresh extract of the leaves, stem, and root, to several dogs,\n\nThey all died: the poison rapidly taking effect, and producing giddiness, loss of power in the hind legs, convulsions and death.\n\nEarly in 1874, a Chinese soi-disant doctor was convicted of manslaughter, for having with fatal effect administered a decoction of T'ün ch'eung ts'ao to a Chinese shopman aged about 30 years.\n\nIt appeared from the evidence at the inquest that deceased ate a hearty breakfast at 10 a.m. and took a decoction of T'ün ch'eung ts'ao at about 3.30 p.m., became giddy, with dimness of sight, loss of power in limbs, irregular breathing, and died in about two hours.\n\nThe body was examined 18 hours after death. 'Face somewhat livid: expression disturbed: pupils of fair size, conjunctivæ injected: lips and gums purple: bloody froth running from nose: under surface of body livid. Heart, both sides nearly empty: containing a little dark fluid blood, no clots, healthy lungs, slightly congested, trachea and bronchi containing bloody froth. Kidneys much congested. Stomach and intestines congested. Brain-vessels full of dark fluid blood, otherwise normal. Spinal cord not examined.'\n\nIn January 1884, a Chinese, (Engineer of a launch) aged about 35 years, and his daughter aged about 6 years were poisoned, presumably by the wife. At the inquest, the\n\n219\n\nwife stated that after partaking of tea &c., which she had prepared, her husband and daughter became giddy and fell down insensible.\n\nAbout 5 hours after death, the man's pupils were dilated, and there was considerable congestion of the dependent side of the head and neck: the lower side of the trunk was less congested, and the legs not at all: the conjunctivæ were injected, the lower one most. I was not present at the P.M. dissection in this case, and no record of it was kept.\n\nMr. Crow obtained an alkaloidal extract from the tea prepared by the wife, and I tried this on two guinea-pigs, weighing 5 oz. and 5¾ oz. respectively, with the following results:—\n\n12.35 p.m. About 8 drops injected under skin of abdomen: disinclination to move: loss of power in hind legs: inability to hold the head up: convulsions: laboured respiration: partial paralysis of all limbs, with occasional convulsions: convulsions and convulsive breathing.\n\n1.40. Apparently not so feeble: for some time past has kept on his belly: always returning to that position when turned over: almost continuous tremors: (removed to a warmer position), tremors still the same.\n\n1.50. Tremors violent.\n\n1.55. Appears stronger: less tremulous: from this time he improved and recovered completely.\n\nIn the second case, at 3.9 p.m. About 12 drops injected under skin of abdomen.\n\n3.20. Began to lose power in extremities.\n\n3.21. Strong convulsions: turned over nearly on to his back: stiffened out: lies on side convulsed.\n\n3.26. Strong convulsions, continuous: (tetanic spasms).\n\n3.35. A few feeble expiring spasms.\n\nFrom my experience of this plant so far, I judge, that in its physiological action it differs somewhat from Gelsemium sempervirens, and more nearly resembles Strychnos nux vomica. With further observation, the extent of these",

In all the internal organs of animals so destroyed I found the Bacilli.\n\nWith the dust of dwelling houses from which the plague-stricken had been removed I made several experiments upon animals. Some of the animals died from Tetanus. In one case only a guinea-pig died with plague symptoms, and in this animal the same Bacilli were found in the internal organs as in those of plague patients who had succumbed.\n\nThese experiments with the dust from infected houses I shall certainly continue.\n\nMany rats and mice, at present, die spontaneously in Hong-kong, I examined some of them. In the internal organs of a mouse I discovered the same Bacilli,\n\nPower of Resistance of the Bacilli to Physical and Chemical Agencies.\n\nExperiments with desiccation.-The contents of a Bubo in which the Bacilli were present in great numbers were wiped over cover glasses (perfectly cleansed by heat and alcohol), and some of the cover-glasses were dried in the air of a room at a temperature ranging from 28° C to 30° C. Others I exposed directly to the sun's rays, and from among them, after an exposure of from one, two and three hours (up to six days), I removed some parts, putting such portions in beef tea and placing them in the incubator.

        "content_text": "303\n\n10-\n\n2nd. This Bacillus is not to be found in any other infectious disease.\n\n3rd. With this Bacillus it is possible to produce in animals the identical symptoms which the disease presents in human beings.\n\nFrom this evidence we must come to the conclusion that this Bacillus is the cause of the disease known as the bubonic plague, therefore the bubonic plague is an infectious disease produced by a specific bacillus.\n\nWhat are the channels by which these bacilli enter the human body? We may suppose that they have three principal channels of entrance: by respiration, through an external wound, and by the intestinal tract. Examples of the first two ways, of which I shall speak later on, are abundant. Examples of the last-mentioned way are not positive so far, but considering that we discovered the bacilli in the intestinal canal and experiments on animals prove that feeding alone produces definite results, the concession must be made that the third is a possible method of infection.\n\nMost of the cases of Bubonic Plague occur amongst the Chinese, a few other nationalities excepted.\n\nWhoever has looked into a Chinese dwelling in Taipingshan is at once persuaded that here is a suitable hunting-ground for the Plague Bacillus. The houses are so filthy that they are unfit for human habitation.\n\nWhat means are to be employed against the Plague? Preventive measures, general hygiene, good drainage, perfect water supply, cleanliness in dwelling houses and cleanliness in the streets. As soon as an epidemic breaks out the sick must be perfectly isolated. The infected dwellings, before the household things are removed, have to be disinfected by 2 per cent. carbolic acid solution or by a solution of quicklime in a correct way. Afterwards, wearing apparel, linen, bedding, &c., should be specially disinfected by a steam disinfector for one hour at a temperature of 100° C.; should a steam disinfector not be available the things ought to be exposed directly to the sun's rays for several hours. Articles unfit for use ought to be burned. Dwelling houses thus emptied should be cleaned over again with quicklime or carbolic acid. The fæces should be disinfected carefully with quicklime. Dead bodies covered with quicklime are either to be burned or to be buried at least three metres from the surface. Mice and rats which have died spontaneously in dwelling houses should be carried away with proper precautions. After a patient has apparently recovered he must be kept apart from the healthy community for a period of a month, for during convalescence the bacilli may be discovered in the blood from three to four weeks after all symptoms have ceased.\n\n11-\n\nIndividuals ought to keep away from plague patients and infected houses and be careful about their solid and liquid nourishment.\n\nThese measures have been generally in force during the epidemic in Hongkong.\n\nThe question as to whether immunity against the bacillus of Plague is possible on the lines practised against many other bacillary infectious diseases remains at present an open one. I shall study it thoroughly later on and in an exhaustive manner.\n\nAll that I have described above must be regarded only as a short preliminary notice. The results of extensive study on the subject of the Plague Bacillus will be published by me at a later time.\n\nBefore I conclude this notice I beg to tender my heartiest thanks to the Colonial Government of Hongkong, to all the Medical men here, and especially to Dr Lowson for his kind assistance.\n\n607",

        "content_text": "735\n\n2. The burning of the houses would probably destroy the germs for a little depth, say a foot, and the soil deeper down, though possibly contaminated, would not be so dry as to become dust readily and cause the germs to blow about. The best way of treating the earth from Tai-ping-shan would be to cart it to some distance, say Kennedytown, and dump it there some way from dwellings. I don't know of any efficient mode of disinfecting soil in quantity but the process of burning would disinfect the walls and the superficial soil, and the subsequent exposure of the new surface before it is built upon would be the means of killing any germs should they have penetrated to the depth of four feet which is improbable.\n\nCertainly the present soil should be taken away and to a distance from dwellings. No doubt some risk would be run by the people moving it, but very slight in my opinion.\n\nI certainly cannot imagine that any course but the complete destruction of the infected area would be of any advantage, and to reconstruct it without destroying it would involve first its being pulled about so much as to double the labour and to allow a most dangerous spot to exist. The houses are structurally bad, the materials are old, the lanes are too narrow and the whole area is over-peopled, the drains are imperfect and, finally, most of the soil and the materials are full of plague germs. There are no doubt other places nearly as bad, but none quite so bad and none so much poisoned.\n\nI am sure that half measures are to be condemned and that the only way to make things safe is -1st burn the combustible parts, 2nd pull down the walls, 3rd dig up the soil. You then have a clean area that can be properly laid out and drained and, with well contrived houses, will hold a good number of people.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(Signed) H. E. R. JAMES.\n\nEVIDENCE GIVEN TO THE COMMITTEE ON HOUSING THE CHINESE\n\nat their meeting of 13th July, 1894.\n\nThe Colonial Surgeon (Dr. AYRES, C.M.G.) examined.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN.-With regard to the treatment of the walled-in portion of Tai-ping-shan, Dr. AYRES, now under consideration, what is your opinion?\n\nA.-Those places are now being disinfected with chloride of lime and acid.\n\nI quite approve of the course recommended by the Permanent Committee.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN. Then I understand we may take it that your opinion on this is the opinion expressed in the report of the Permanent Committee, that the houses be demolished?\n\nA. Yes, destroyed, as far as possible, by fire. I say that the sub-soil is strongly infected, and cannot be thoroughly dealt with as long as the buildings stand over it. If it were not so, you would not see rats coming up out of the sewers and holes in the ground, full of bacteria, not communicated to them from human patients but from the sewage which is soaking through the soil, and from the gases down below, a sure proof that the sub-soil is in a dangerous state. Rats do not catch the disease from any infection above, but from below.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN.-Would you advise the destruction of the wood-work, and leave the brick-work?\n\nA.-Destroy the wood-work, certainly; the bricks would after fire be just as valuable as when new, or would even be improved perhaps, and could be used over again; but they would have to be removed for the sake of getting at the ground properly. Drop all the beams and other wood-work from the upper floors to the ground floor and burn them, and take the tiles off the roof and throw down the beams and rafters too.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN.-Do you advise the entire demolition of the houses, or would you leave the walls standing?\n\nA.-Entire demolition. The whole of the surface soil will have to be dug up and disinfected. That may be troublesome; probably in course of digging we shall have to go on disinfecting the soil carefully before disturbing it, and very possibly even then some of the diggers may have trouble.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN.-That is the point the Governor was anxious to get at. In Mauritius an epidemic was once started from the digging-up of an infected area.\n\nA.-Yes, but it must be done, and we must do the best we can.\n\nDr. HARTIGAN.-What was the disease?\n\nA.-Bilious Remittent.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN.-And should the soil be dug up and taken away, or disinfected and left?\n\nA.-If it is mixed with lime enough or anything of that kind it could be turned over and disinfected and left there. Of course, all the filthy parts will have to be taken away but the cleaner parts of the soil should be disinfected on the spot.\n\nPrincipal Medical Officer (Surgeon-Colonel PRESTON) examined.\n\nI am in favour of the complete demolition of every house in that portion of the City. I have been through it several times and seen a great deal inside it, and I think the whole place should be destroyed by fire.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN.-Why?\n\nA.-Because every house is polluted.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN.-Are there not some that could be left?\n\nThe COLONIAL SURGEON.-There are very few buildings worthy of consideration, and they are on the very outside of the District. The lanes and alleys are too terrible for anything. (Described in detail buildings on a steep slope where the basement in many parts consisted of excavations in the hillside). In many of the darker back parts there were two inches' depth of fecal matter although the front might appear very fair. Some of the places are as dark as pitch, and you cannot see anything except with the aid of a lamp.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN.-Then it is faulty construction of houses as much as anything else that influences you?\n\nSurgeon-Colonel PRESTON.-Every house has become a focus of disease apart from faults of construction. Every house I have been into is unfit for human habitation. I think there is nothing for it but the entire destruction of the whole lot by fire.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN.-And as to the digging up of the soil?\n\nA.-Well, I hardly know; if there is a large conflagration that would disinfect the soil a great deal, but to cart it away bodily or to disinfect it completely would be a very big job, and I doubt if it could be done.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN.-Then, do you mean that the question lies between cementing it over on the surface of the soil?\n\nA.-I think it must be disinfected thoroughly, if possible.\n\nThe COLONIAL SURGEON.-The streets already are covered with lime-as far as that goes they are being disinfected.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN.-But you are not prepared to decide about taking up the soil and carting it away?\n\nA.-No. It is probably impregnated with germs throughout, or bacteria or bacilli, and I think it should be thoroughly disinfected with powerful disinfectants. Otherwise, it would be unsafe to disturb the soil at all.\n\nThe COLONIAL SURGEON.-Of course, it would be absolutely necessary to disturb the earth in re-building the streets.\n\nSurgeon Colonel PRESTON.-Yes, but that must be allowed as little as possible.",

        "content_text": "where water and filth has percolated through the floors. I would dry it; that would make it harmless, for there is no decomposing matter in dry soil. Dry it, and drain it so as to keep it dry in future; that is quite sufficient.\n\nMr. JACKSON. As I understand, Surgeon-Colonel PRESTON seems to think the walls of the houses could be left standing.\n\nSurgeon-Colonel PRESTON. No, not left standing, because I think the whole should be reconstructed in toto. What I said was that the bricks could be used again, after they had been purified by fire.\n\nMr. JACKSON. Then the question I was going on to ask is unnecessary; my idea was that if the walls were to be left standing, with soil below them saturated, you could not make a complete job of it.\n\nSurgeon-Colonel PRESTON. No, no!\n\nDr. HO KAI. What is meant is to leave the walls standing until after the fire, and then remove them.\n\nMr. JACKSON. It seems to me that the balance of the medical evidence before us is in favour of burning. Do you think the whole of the infected district should be burnt?\n\nSurgeon-Colonel PRESTON. Every part of it that I have seen.\n\nDr. HARTIGAN thought it not necessary to burn all.\n\nSurgeon-Colonel PRESTON. To burn some and leave some would be like putting a new patch on an old garment. It would never do. I do not think the place capable of reconstruction piecemeal, or by partial measures.\n\nThe COLONIAL SURGEON. There would be so very few that could be allowed to remain, even at the most favourable estimate possible, that they are not worth consideration, and even they would have to be entirely altered. Very few of the floors are washable; they are boarded, and in some cases covered with tiles, but mostly not so; if liquid falls on them, it comes through into the floor below, or the ground. I have often seen that. They take no notice.\n\nDr. HARTIGAN. Is there much difference between those places and Stanley Street, Poel Street, Pottinger Street, and Wanchai?\n\nThe COLONIAL SURGEON. The same condition is to be found distributed all over the Colony. When all the houses were burnt down in the fire of 1878, where there used to be good European houses, all that property in the Central district was reconstructed on this bad Chinese principle. The law should compel every house rebuilt to be in proper form, with floors that can be washed.\n\nMr. TURNER. Do you mean that all the floors should be made impervious? A. Yes.\n\nMr. TURNER. You would not allow wooden floors in the houses?\n\nA. Not unless you can wash the floors without drowning the people below, or soaking the soil.\n\nMr. TURNER. But even in European houses not many floors are impervious. A. Oh, they are. I know my bedroom floors are washed regularly, and most others the same.\n\nMr. TURNER. It must be done very carefully then, or else the water is not poured out freely but used only with mops. If you throw a lot of water on any wooden floor it will get through.\n\nA. I do not mean to flood it; the floors are painted or varnished, and you can put water on to wash them thoroughly; the boards are thick enough, and fit close. But in Chinese houses they are not half thick enough, nor close enough.\n\nSurgeon-Colonel PRESTON. Of course every floor should be able to be washed. There is another point, that when this infected district is cleared and reconstructed with wide streets, &c., it will form a 'lung' or breathing space for the City which is greatly to be desired.\n\nPage 363\n\nNo. 1,295.\n\nSIR,\n\n750.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,\n\nHONGKONG, 16th July, 1894.\n\nI am directed by the Governor to state that His Excellency would be much obliged if you would be so good as to furnish me with your views on the subject of a proposal in regard to the sanitary improvement of Tai-ping-shan, viz., that, after the destruction of the houses, the surface earth should be removed to a depth of at least one foot all over the condemned district.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\nJ.

I am convinced, if this were done, there would be no fear of a recrudescence of disease from any germs that may be lurking in the soil.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nTHOS.

        "content_text": "## 12. With regard to the segregating of persons found in infected premises \nit has been the practice in all cases to allow them the option of proceeding to Canton or of being housed in one of the marriage boats. In the majority of instances the former alternative has been readily accepted, only 21 persons being provided with accommodation afloat. On the 26th June the last batch was released.\n\n## DISINFECTION OF HOUSES\n\n13. In respect of the disinfection of houses in which cases of bubonic plague have occurred the provisions of Bye-law No. 25, made under section 13 of Ordinance 15 of 1894, have been rigidly enforced, and every article destroyed that could not be satisfactorily disinfected. In the case of houses in Heung Lane, after fumigation with sulphur and clearing out all the moveable contents, the floors, walls and ceilings were thoroughly saturated with the acid solution of perchloride of mercury as recommended in a Memoranda of the 26th August, 1892, by Dr. R. THORNE THORNE of the Medical Department of the Local Government Board.\n\n14. It will be observed that most of the cases of bubonic plague occurred in No. 6 Health District. Mr. HORE, the District Inspector, is deserving of praise for the painstaking way in which he has discharged a trying and, to say the least, disagreeable duty.\n\n## LATRINE DISINFECTION\n\n15. The addition of Chlorinated Lime to the night-soil in public latrines, which had been discontinued at the end of May, was resumed in the case of the Heung Lane Latrine on the outbreak of bubonic plague in that locality and maintained until all danger of a further development of the disease in the vicinity had disappeared. For failing to comply with the Board's order in this matter and for a breach of one of the latrine bye-laws the keeper was fined $50 by the presiding Magistrate.\n\n## MEZZANINE FLOORS AND CUBICLES\n\n16. The work involved in enforcing compliance with the provisions of sections 7 and 8 of Ordinance 15 of 1894, the controlling of which had been delegated to us as a Select Committee of the Board, made satisfactory progress in the case of the worst class of houses in the City especially in districts Nos. 7 and 8, at the West, and Nos. 1 and 2 at the East end of the city. As, however, the Inspectors in charge of the Central Districts of the city proceeded it became evident that in granting permission for the retention of cocklofts in rooms partitioned into separate compartments the practice hitherto followed of dealing with each case on its merits could not be successfully pursued, and that clearly defined conditions applicable to all cases should be drawn up for the guidance of the Executive.\n\n17. The question as to whether the owner or occupier should be held responsible for complying with the law was also fully considered. In many cases the cocklofts are the property of the tenants; in others they belong to the owner. The Committee therefore decided to adopt the plan that had been found to work so well in the case of the illegal occupation of basements, viz., of serving the notice on both the owner and occupier. The notice on the occupier specified in schedule to our last report was therefore discontinued and a new form, after meeting with the approval of the Attorney General, adopted, (appendix C).\n\n18. The conditions drawn up by the Committee on the subject of cocklofts in buildings erected before and after the passing of `The Closed Houses and Insanitary Dwellings Ordinance (15 of 1894)` which, after submission to and approval by the full Board, were published in the Government Gazette and in the English and Chinese newspapers, will be found embodied in the notifications included in appendix D.\n\n19. Up to date, notices with copies of the Board's conditions attached, to comply with the provisions of sub-section 1 of section 7 and sub-section b of section 8, have been served on the owners and occupiers in the case of 433 cocklofts and cubicles. So far this change of tactics has met with the best results, and it is confidently hoped that within six months all illegal cocklofts will have been removed.\n\n## BASEMENTS\n\n20. A complete list of the basements illegally occupied on the 1st of April, and on the owners and occupiers of which notices have been served, will be found in appendix E. The return does not include the very large number of basements in No. 7 District which were closed during the epidemic of plague last year and which are among the worst in the whole City. Great credit is due to Acting Inspector MACEWEN for the energy he has displayed in preventing their re-occupation as dwellings.\n\n21. Under our joint personal supervision the whole of the basements in districts Nos. 4, 5 and 6, have been inspected at night. In all 244 inspections have been made before, and 140 after, midnight. The District Inspectors, Messrs. BURNETT, REIDIE and HORE, are doing their utmost to prevent their now illegal occupation.\n\n## PERMITS FOR COCKLOFTS AND BASEMENTS\n\n22. In a memo. dated the 9th of July (appendix F) the Committee referred for the consideration of the full Board the question as to whether permits for the retention of cocklofts, under section 7 and for the occupation of basements under section 6, should be granted to the owner or occupier. We are of opinion that the fullest publicity should be given to the fact that the Board has unanimously decided to grant such permits to the landlord only.\n\n## GENERAL REMARKS\n\n23. Although it may appear somewhat hazardous in the case of a disease like the bubonic plague, as to the origin and spread of which so little is known, we think it probable that the Colony has now seen the last of the disease in 1895. The widespread fear that the outbreak in Heung Lane was but the beginning of a formidable epidemic has happily not been realised. Twenty-six cases are known to have occurred; all died. If the particulars specified in appendix B are closely examined it will be found that the later cases the disease showed no signs of abatement in point of virulence. The experience of this year would seem to demonstrate that the disease was nipped in the bud, and an epidemic averted by prompt removal and segregation of the inmates and the disinfection and cleansing of the infected premises. The drastic measures it was deemed necessary to adopt were fully justified by the nature of, and the circumstances attending the outbreak.\n\n24. The question here very naturally arises what are the prospects of a recurrence of the disease in the early spring of next year? A vast improvement in the sanitary condition of the Colony has unquestionably been effected during the last 12 months, but much still remains to be done. In our opinion no measure of sanitary reform calls for more prompt and vigorous action than that of clearing away the obstructions in back-yards and in the back parts of premises so as to provide a suitable and adequate area for the admission of light and air. This has been done already in many houses in the City. In Heung Lane the sanitary character of the houses, in which cases of plague originated, has been completely changed by this simple and by no means costly structural alteration. We submit that no consideration of Departmental economy should be allowed to interfere with the early carrying out of this most desirable reform.\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servants,\n\n**Appendix A**\n\nWM.

        "content_text": "( 26 )\n\nIn the year 1894, of those engaged in attendance on the sick, only three Japanese physicians, one Italian Sister, one male Chinese attendant, and one female Chinese attendant, were attacked; and of 300 English soldiers engaged in the disinfection of the infected houses, 10 only. In 1896, of 30 persons employed as nurses and attendants at the Kennedy Town Hospital, one English Sister was attacked, and three Chinese died, one of these latter being employed in the disinfection of the hospital clothing. Of those persons, about 120 in number, employed in inspecting and disinfecting the houses and in transporting patients and dead bodies to the hospital, three only died, one English police inspector, and two Chinese engaged in cleaning out the houses. Of the English soldiers employed in 1896 in disinfecting the houses, not one was attacked. It is clear from these facts that contact with patients suffering from plague and with the dead bodies of those that had died of the disease, was not dangerous, provided that care was taken to avoid becoming soiled by the evacuations of the patient, and always to disinfect the hands thoroughly. The conclusion is further to be drawn that the contagium of plague is not contained in the air, and therefore is not taken into the system by the lungs, for had this mode of infection been possible, a greater number of those in charge of the patients, and of those engaged in inspecting and disinfecting the houses, would necessarily have been attacked by the disease. Against the possibility of infection through the air must further be counted the fact that the bacillus does not survive desiccation, and cannot therefore, in a living condition, enter the air in the form of dust. I have myself, notwithstanding repeated attempts, never been able to detect the plague bacillus in the air. Further, the clinical and pathological facts of the disease are altogether opposed to the idea that the bacillus enters the body by way of the respiratory tract.\n\nIt is, however, certain, that either by carelessness on the part of those in direct contact with the sick, or by fomites, the contagium of the plague may be transferred from person to person, and taken up by the skin and by the alimentary tract.\n\nAs regards infection through the skin, two incontestable cases were observed in the epidemic of 1894. Two Japanese physicians were infected while making post-mortem examinations, and were attacked a few days later by plague. They had axillary buboes and lymphangitis of the arm, which spread upwards from the small inflamed wounds of the fingers.\n\nIn 1896, wounds were seldom met with on the limbs on which buboes had formed. Inflamed wounds were seen in two cases only, they were small; in one case on the hand and in one case on the upper arm, with ascending lymphangitis and buboes in the axillary fossa.\n\n( 27 )\n\n193\n\nthe unbroken skin, and that when there are no visible wounds it very rarely gives rise to local infections of the skin; this view is in accordance with the results of experiments on animals, and with the cases that have been actually observed of infection following small wounds.\n\nThe plague bacillus appears to enter the body, most frequently by way of the alimentary tract. This view is substantiated by the results of experiments on animals, and by those cases in which, both during the occurrence of the disease and on the post-mortem table, the principal changes were found to be in the stomach, the mesenteric glands, and the other abdominal organs.\n\nAdditional facts in support of this view are that plague bacilli were commonly found in the faeces, that in nearly all cases the intestinal follicles and the mesenteric glands were found to be swollen, and that the buboes did not usually develop until the most severe symptoms of the disease had already set in. The development of buboes may perhaps in some cases be precipitated by a secondary infection with staphylococci and streptococci. It was shown experimentally that plague bacilli lived for two days in a 1/2 per cent. solution of hydrochloric acid. We may assume, therefore, that the bacilli are not readily killed by the gastric juice. The plague bacilli must therefore make their way into the stomach by means of the food.\n\nResearches instituted to throw light on this point showed that on boiled pork, so long as it did not undergo decomposition, plague bacilli remained alive for three days; on salt fish (one of the principal articles of diet of the Chinese), for four days; on the damp peel and pulp of apples three or four days, on bananas and tomatoes for two to three days; and on the dried rind of turnips for one to two days. In distilled water, plague bacilli could be detected alive for twenty days; in tap-water and in well-water (200 cc. with half an agar culture), for sixteen days; in sea-water (200 cc, with half an agar culture), for six days. In the village of Yau-ma-ti, near Kowloon, in which in June the plague was widely prevalent, I succeeded in detecting the presence of the plague bacillus in one of the three wells from which the people drew their water. The infected well was situated at a very low level, so that the water filled it to the brim, and it was contaminated by the inflow of surface water from all sides. Further, many of the people washed their hands, feet and clothing in this well. The other two wells were situated on elevations, and were less exposed to contamination, because in the first place the surface water could not flow into them, and in the second place the water in the wells stood four yards below the brim. Though Chinese as a rule drink boiled water only, yet infection may readily take place by means of drinking and eating utensils and other articles washed in contaminated water.\n\nThe infection of the water of rivers and harbours by means of drains conveying the plague bacilli, and by means of people living on junks, seems highly probable. In Hongkong, from January to September, 1896, those dwelling on boats in the harbour suffered from plague in proportion to their numbers to the same extent as those living on shore. I was unable to detect the plague bacillus in the water of Hongkong harbour, which is subject to rapid renewal by strong tides. It is, however, conceivable, that close to the shore, where the boats are often left dry by the ebb, and where the water stagnates in corners, centres of infection may here and there be set up by contamination with slop-water from the land or by cases of plague in the boats themselves, and that from these centres those living on the boats may in turn suffer. Further, a large number of the Chinese junks take their water from a small stream about four yards wide, which flows through the Chinese village of Lai-Chi-Kok, in the neighbourhood of Yau-ma-ti; this stream can very readily have been contaminated with the plague bacillus, for many cases of plague occurred in the village, and the inhabitants wash their clothing and all kinds of implements and utensils in the stream.\n\nOf the 300 English soldiers that in 1894 were engaged in the disinfection of the houses, all of whom wore shoes and stockings, 10 were affected with plague, and nearly all of these had inguinal buboes, notwithstanding the fact that in clearing out the infected houses their hands came into contact with all kinds of filth. In 1896, there was attacked at the Kennedy Town Hospital a Chinese washerman, whose business it was to disinfect the bed-clothing and body-clothing of the patients, so that he daily handled infected articles, and this man had double inguinal buboes, but no axillary bubo. Two Chinese sick-room attendants at the hospital and one Chinese that assisted in the disinfection of the houses, died of plague without the formation of any buboes at all. Among the persons (Chinese) employed in 1896 in the daily collection and transport of large numbers of the filthily clothed bodies of those that had died of plague, positively not one became affected with the disease. From all these facts the conclusion may be drawn that the contagium of plague does not readily penetrate into the body through the unbroken skin.\n\nIt may be positively affirmed that the plague bacillus was not disseminated by the public water-supply of Hongkong, for Chinese and Europeans alike make use of this water, and among the latter there were only sixteen cases of plague.\n\nIn favour of the view that the plague bacillus is taken into the system by means of the food, is the fact that frequently in a house the members of one family only were attacked, while the other inhabitants of the house remained free from the disease. Further, in China, food and fruits of all kinds are everywhere hawked and bought in the streets, especially among the poorer classes, and this practice, on account of the excessively filthy state of the markets and other places of sale, entails great danger of the diffusion of infectious disorders.",

        "content_text": "(28)\n\nVII.—PROPHYLAXIS.\nWe shall first describe the prophylactic measures that were enforced during the epidemic of plague at Hongkong in 1896. The Colony of Hongkong has a department of sanitary affairs (Sanitary Board), and is divided into thirteen sanitary districts. Of these, including the harbour, nine belong to the town of Victoria, while the four others are constituted by the districts of Kowloon, Shao-ki-wan, Aberdeen, and Stanley. In each district, a police-inspector was appointed, with English and Chinese policemen to act under him, to search the houses of the Chinese for patients and dead bodies. Those suffering from plague among the Chinese inhabitants of the island of Hongkong, and the bodies of those that had died of the disease in the same area, were sent to the Chinese Hospital (Tung Wa Hospital) in the town of Victoria, which was under Government supervision, and at which the patients and bodies were inspected every morning and evening by Dr. ATKINSON and myself. From this hospital, all the patients and suspicious cases, and all the dead bodies, were transported to the Kennedy Town Hospital. The patients of other nationalities were, as a rule, after preliminary medical inspection, sent direct to the Kennedy Town Hospital. On the mainland, that is to say in the district of Kowloon, all the bodies that were found were taken to a shed. Thence, day by day, after I had inspected them, they were taken in coffins on a steamboat direct to the Kennedy Town Hospital on the island of Hongkong. Patients and suspicious cases from the mainland were always taken by steamboat to the Kennedy Town Hospital.\n\nA daily report was made to the Sanitary Board of the number of patients and bodies brought to the hospital, and of the dwellings or other places in which they had been found.\n\nThe Sanitary Board, under the guidance of the physicians attached to that body, then undertook the disinfection of the houses in which cases of plague had occurred. While the houses were undergoing disinfection, the inhabitants were housed in temporary barracks that had been erected in various parts of the town. The disinfection consisted in clearing out the houses, burning all worthless articles, cleansing the walls and floor with milk of lime, washing the furniture with 5% carbolic acid solution, and disinfection of clothing, et cetera, in a steam disinfecting apparatus. Ten days after the complete disinfection and airing of their houses, the inhabitants were allowed to return to them.\n\nThe bodies of those that had died of plague were buried in coffins containing quicklime in a church-yard situated on the slope of a hill near the Kennedy Town Hospital.\n\nWhile by stringent inspection and disinfection of the houses, suitable measures were taken for the suppression of plague on the island, too little attention was paid to the water-borne traffic. In the first place, intercourse with Canton, where in May and June plague was as prevalent as in Hongkong, should have been subject to better inspection. Further, owing to the fact that patients suffering from plague were allowed to leave the Colony, the carrying of the disease to other places was greatly favoured. How widely plague can be distributed by sea-borne traffic was shown many times in June and July, by the fact that ships coming from other ports, especially from Singapore and also from Saigon, had bad cases of plague on board.\n\nSince October 1896, when the above lines were written, plague has broken out at the Indian ports of Bombay and Calcutta, and the widely expressed opinion that these towns received the contagium of plague from Hongkong appears to be not unwarranted.\n\nAs a result of the above-described experience of plague at Hongkong during the year 1896, the following measures should in general be taken for preventing and contending with the disease.\n\nA.—Measures of Public Hygiene.\nThe most successful prophylactic measure against plague is to prevent the importation of the contagium. This is to be effected by a stringent supervision of intercourse, as in the case of cholera. Persons arriving from infected districts suffering from plague or from illness of a suspicious nature, must be isolated or kept under observation until fully recovered, and their dejecta must be rendered harmless. By these measures, as has already been shown in the case of cholera, we shall be able with certainty to prevent the diffusion of the plague-poison. As a rule, according to the experience of 1894 and 1896, the observation of suspected persons may be limited to a period of from seven to nine days. Sometimes, however, as will be shown later, plague may have an incubation-period of fifteen days. Especially in need of official supervision are those quarters which, in consequence of overcrowding with persons in unfavourable social circumstances, are extremely dangerous from a hygienic point of view.\n\nShips coming from infected ports, with their passengers and cargo, must, as the experience of the epidemic of 1896 so frequently showed, be subjected to the same inspection as persons suffering from plague or from illness of a suspicious nature. In the first place, a rule must be made that while a ship from an infected port which has remained free from plague during the voyage should be allowed to land passengers and discharge cargo, any ship on which cases of plague have occurred during the voyage must be subject to inspection and disinfection at the discretion of the sanitary authorities of the port of arrival.\n\nA ship's cargo could tend to introduce plague only in so far as it contained damp infected articles, such as dirty clothing, etc., of those that had suffered from plague. Dry articles would hardly serve to introduce infection.\n\nAs with cholera, so with plague, water from an infected port must be regarded as dangerous, whether drinking-water or ballast-water. That water may be contaminated with the plague bacilli by dejecta or by dirty clothing, was clearly proved by the numerous cases of plague on the junks in Hongkong harbour and by the detection of the bacillus in well-water, even though the bacillus was not detected in running water.\n\nThe sanitary regulations have further to take into account that the contagium of plague may be distributed by developed cases of the disease. Patients suffering from plague must be isolated in a hospital specially appointed for this purpose; and the pus from the buboes, the faeces, the urine, and the expectoration, of the patients, must be destroyed. Also, articles that have come into contact with the patients, such as utensils, beds, and clothing, must be disinfected before further use.\n\nUtensils are best disinfected by boiling. Experiments with pure cultures of plague bacilli have shown that water at a temperature of 58° C. (136° F.) kills the bacilli in an hour; at a temperature of 80° C. (176° F.) in twenty minutes; and at a temperature of 100° C. (212° F.), within ten minutes.\n\nDisinfection of the pus from buboes, of the faeces, the urine, and the expectoration, is best accomplished by an hour's immersion in a 5% solution of creolin (Beackhead), carbolic acid, or milk of lime. It was shown experimentally that pure cultures of plague bacilli, suspended by means of silk threads in a 5% solution of creolin (Beackhead) were killed in five minutes, and in a 5% solution of milk of lime in 10 minutes.\n\nLinen clothing should be soaked for two or three hours in a 5% solution of carbolic acid or creolin.\n\nOther articles of clothing, and bedding, should be exposed for half an hour to a current of steam at a temperature of 100° C. (212° F.).\n\nRooms or houses used by patients are best disinfected as follows:\n\nAll the movables are taken out of the houses, and, according to their nature, are disinfected with 1% carbolic or creolin solution or with hot soap-solution, or are placed in a steam-disinfector. The walls and floor of the empty room or house are, wherever accessible, scrubbed with milk of lime (one part of powdered slaked lime mixed with four parts of water). This scrubbing must be repeated in three hours.\n\nWhen dry, the walls and floor may be scoured again. The walls may also be rubbed down with dry bread, and the floor washed with a 5% carbolic or creolin solution. After the disinfection, the room should be left unused for three days, being well heated during this time.\n\nWorthless articles that have come into contact with the patient should be burned. In this connexion, care should be taken not to carry the articles to be burned to any considerable distance, for to do so may lead to a dissemination of the contagium of plague.\n\n(29)\n\n194",

        "content_text": "(30)\n\nThose attending on the patients must not themselves eat any food in the sick-room; and before resuming outside intercourse, and before eating, they must remove infected clothing and must radically disinfect the face and hands.\n\nIf plague breaks out in a house in which articles of food and drink are offered for sale, the shop must be closed.\n\nThe bodies of those that have died of plague must not remain in the houses until their burial, but must be wrapped in sheets soaked in a 1‰ sublimate or a 5% carbolic acid or creolin solution, and carried to a mortuary. In the bottom of the coffin, lime, peat, or saw-dust should be sprinkled.\n\nIn every case of plague, the source of the infection must if possible be discovered and rendered harmless. It is therefore absolutely necessary that all houses should be visited in which the presence of plague is known or suspected. These houses should be thoroughly disinfected, and their hygienic condition in the matter of privies, drains, wells, and water-supply should be enquired into. Public latrines also, being liable to contamination, should be subject to regular inspection and disinfection.\n\nPrivies are best disinfected in the following manner. The contents of the closet pan should be mixed with milk of lime, and can then be removed after an hour or two. The exit pipe should be flushed with milk of lime, or thoroughly washed with a 5‰ solution of creolin or carbolic acid, and after four or five hours flushed with water.\n\nOpen wells that are exposed to contamination from above or from the sides should be closed.\n\nA prophylactic inspection of the trade in articles of food and drink is also to be undertaken by the sanitary authority. Spoiled or suspicious articles of food must be destroyed. The milk-trade and the diluting of milk with water must be subjected to a strict control.\n\nThe water-supply demands especial attention. A warning should be issued against the drinking of unfiltered river or harbour water. It would be better if boiled water only were used for drinking, since in times of epidemic, water that has been filtered merely cannot be regarded as quite free from objection.\n\n( $1 )\n\n195\n\nIX-INCUBATION.\n\nThe experience of the epidemic of 1894 showed that the period of incubation of plague might extend to nine days, but was usually three to six days only. Similar observations were, generally speaking, made in 1896. It was for the most part impossible to obtain precise information as to when and in what manner Chinese patients were infected. In one case, an incubation period of fifteen days must be assumed. This was the case of a Chinese who on May 25th, 1896, was imprisoned in the English jail, being then in good health. On June 10th he was suddenly taken ill with typical symptoms of bubonic plague, and he died of the disease on June 15th. During the course of the illness, plague bacilli were found in the blood; and the autopsy showed inflammatory swelling of the inguinal glands of both sides up to the size of a hazel-nut. Culture experiments demonstrated the presence of plague bacilli in the spleen and the glands. The jail was at the time, and remained, free from other cases of plague.\n\nThe infection of river and harbour water must be prevented as far as possible by supervision of ships and their inhabitants. It must also be pointed out that closets and drains discharging into rivers may infect the water.\n\nSince it is especially when men gather together in large numbers in a small space that the contagium of the plague is rapidly conveyed from person to person, the aggregation of men at fairs and markets is to be prevented. Excessive overcrowding of small rooms is to be forbidden. Regulations should be made to provide for sufficient light and air in the streets and the houses.\n\nThe disinfection of ships must especially regard the berths and cabins of the sick, the closets, and the bilges.\n\nThe public must be enlightened as far as possible concerning the nature of plague; and concerning the method of its dissemination by the pus from buboes, by the fæces, urine, and expectoration, and by uncleanliness.\n\nB.-Measures of Private Hygiene.\n\nThe measures to be taken by individuals with a view to avoiding the infection of plague consist, first, in care that no plague bacilli gain entrance to the body by contaminated wounds of the skin or by contaminated articles of food and drink; and, secondly, in a regular mode of life without excesses in eating and drinking.\n\nWith regard to the first point, the body should be frequently cleansed by baths, the hands further should be washed often, and the most insignificant wounds should be kept scrupulously clean; food should be cooked, or, if raw, entirely above suspicion, and the plates and dishes on which food is served should be cleansed with water that has been boiled or is of undoubted purity.\n\nThe use of strange privies is to be avoided, more especially if they are open to suspicion of infection.\n\nHouses that are known or suspected to contain cases of plague should not be visited.",

        "content_text": "# The preparation of mercury which I recommended for injection follows:-Hydrarg: ʒi; Lanoline Pura, ʒii; Ol: Carbolic (2%); ʒi. Dose, 10 mins, for an injection.\n\nThe above was used. Disadvantages of mercurial cream. I stated that when first I began the Intramuscular treatment, I used a solution of perchloride grs. 1 to 20 mins., as also Sal: Alemb. But for various reasons was obliged to give them up, principally on account of the pain which followed at the site of injection, and also because an abscess took place after an injection of the perchloride solution. Here it is worth noting that this is the only abscess I have had following an injection.\n\nTo within six months ago I continued to use nothing but the cream above described, and with it I have given over 6,000 injections, not one of which have been followed by abscess; in some slight induration remained at the site of injection for a few days, the operation was practically painless, and only in a small number did any pain remain afterwards. I can truly say that not one soldier who has been treated by me has been incapacitated (through the injection or its results) from his duty.\n\nBut with all this success I have always been sensible of the disadvantages of the mercurial cream, which possesses very great drawbacks, for it requires a considerable amount of care in compounding and dexterity in injecting. In cold weather it becomes semi-solid, whilst in hot weather the reverse, so that in the latter the metal is no longer suspended. These defects can, of course, be overcome (I have used the preparation in mid-winter in England and in Jamaica with the greatest success); at the same time a certain amount of trouble is required to do this, which is sure to militate against the preparation being generally used.\n\n## Search for a suitable substitute\n\nI have ever been on the lookout for a suitable substitute. Whilst serving in Jamaica I tried a solution of mercury, it was supplied to me in tabloids, but I must say that I did not meet with the same success as I had hitherto when using the mercurial cream. Since coming home, and during the last six months, I have given sozoidol of mercury a further trial and have used the following solution.\n\n### Composition of the solution\n\nSoda Jodi, grs. x. Hydrarg: Sozoidol, grs. v. Aqua Distil, mius. 200. This solution is made up 10 mins. to 15 mins. as an injection. It is prepared in the hospital dispensary, and I must say that I have met with much more success than when I used the tabloids.\n\n## Comparison of the two preparations\n\nThe result of my experience from the use of the sozoidol solution, in comparison with the mercurial cream, is----\n\n1. At the time, and for some time after the injection, a certain amount of pain is caused, but this soon passes away, leaving no unpleasant after-effects.\n2. It does not seem to me to have quite the rapid effect on the disease as the cream.\n\n### Advantages of the hypodermic method\n\nIt ought to be remembered that one of the great advantages of giving mercury hypodermically is that we can gauge the amount given in that way better than when administered by any of the other methods, so that the injections and amount given ought to be varied to suit circumstances.\n\n## Mode of carrying out the treatment\n\nThe site of injection is almost invariably the gluteal region. The needle is first dipped in a 1-20 solution of carbolic acid, and is then pushed with a rotary motion into the muscle as far as it will go.\n\n### The syringe and needles used\n\nThe syringe which I use is made of vulcanite throughout. It is a very serviceable little instrument. The one originally supplied to me by Messrs. Krohne and Sesemann, of London, in 1890, I still use, and it is as good as ever.\n\nThe needles are about one inch in length; I have used longer but found no advantage in so doing. Latterly I have been using Platino-iridium needles. And I find that they penetrate better and do not bend or rust; one accident is liable to happen to these latter needles-they very often split at the side, and care must be taken to examine them before using them.\n\n## Cases treated\n\nThe cases of syphilis, numbering some hundreds, which have been treated by me by the Intramuscular injections of mercury have represented every form of the disease, both primary and secondary-the former from the hard papule without any abrasion, to the phagedaenic sore rapidly destroying tissue, the latter from the secondary effects of syphilis, as represented by general glandular enlargements with cachexia accompanied by one of the milder rashes, to cases covered with rupial sores (these also destroying tissue), and others presenting symptoms of grave internal lesions.\n\nAlthough I have before me the notes of all the above cases, with the exception of two I do not intend alluding to them in this paper further than to remark that the Intramuscular treatment was a marked success all round, being just as successful among the negro soldiers as with the white.\n\nThe majority of these cases I was able to thoroughly observe, most of them were kept under treatment for from five to six months, and others for much longer. They all, without exception, derived the greatest benefit from the treatment. Average number of days in hospital, 20; average time under treatment, out of hospital doing duty, five months.\n\nSome of these cases I saw two years later, after all treatment had been suspended; they had had no return of the disease, but were in the best of health, and all glandular enlargements had disappeared. It is, of course, impossible to be certain, but I truly believe that these men were cured of syphilis.\n\n## Illustrative cases\n\nI will mention two of the above cases :——\n\nPte. P., 1st Leicestershire Regiment, was a patient in hospital in Newcastle, Jamaica, suffering from secondary syphilis. He was in a fearful state. There was a phagedanic sore on the penis, two-thirds of the glands which it had eaten away; he was covered with rupial ulcers from head to foot, totally confined to bed, cachectic, and a mere skeleton-he was going from bad to worse, until his condition was considered to be most precarious.\n\nBut whatever solution of mercury is used, the following has been my mode of carrying out the treatment :----\n\nWhen in hospital, patients undergoing the treatment are kept on a liberal diet, and generally allowed a bottle of stout or beer a day. They are allowed up and advised to be as much as possible in the open air and also to regularly wash their teeth after each meal. Should there be signs of the gums becoming spongy, they are given a strong mouth wash of alum and acetate of lead to use frequently.\n\nAs a rule, patients in hospital receive one injection per week of 10 mins of either of the above solutions. I say as a rule, but there can be no definite rule laid down as to the number of injections to be given weekly or the amount, under the maximum dose, given; one must use one's own judgment in the matter.\n\n## Outcome of the treatment\n\nAlthough it does not compare in these two points quite so favourably with the mercurial cream, still, bearing in mind that it possesses none of the undoubted disadvantages of the latter, I have no hesitation in recommending it for general use in the army.\n\nOn October 4th, 1893, by order of the senior medical officer, the patient was handed over to me for treatment, and on that day I gave him a first injection of mercurial cream. As this case has already been fully reported, it will suffice here to state that from the above date the patient began to improve in a marvellous manner, and that he, who was in a moribund condition when handed over to me, five weeks later, having had six injections, was out and about. Subsequently he was kept under treatment for months, and eventually went to the reserve, apparently quite restored to health.\n\nThe wonderful success of the treatment in this case was the cause of a great deal of interest among medical men locally at the time.\n\nI would here mention that from this and other cases which I have had, I have learnt an important fact, namely, that mercury can be given safely and with the greatest success in cases of syphilis accompanied by phagedæna, contrary to the teachings of the late Carmichael, of Dublin, who practically condemns it in such cases. Personally I have seen cases like this go from bad to worse when given mercury internally.",

        "content_text": "719\n\nEnclosure E.\n\n# METHOD OF DEALING WITH OUTBREAKS OF BUBONIC FEVER (PLAGUE)\n\n1. Notification.-All cases of infectious disease should be reported at once to the nearest Police Station or to the Sanitary Board (Telephone No. 257), or to the Medical Officer of Health (Telephone No. 120). This is compulsory on \"all persons knowing or having reason to believe that any person has been attacked by or is suffering from\" Bubonic Plague, Cholera or Small-pox (Bye-law 17, Ordinance 15 of 1894); but it is universally evaded by the Chinese and even by the Chinese \"Doctors.\" The penalty for its evasion is $25.\n\n2. Detection of the Sick.-In the absence of notification, this can only be effected by means of house-to-house visits. The Sanitary Board has power to institute such house-to-house visits in any district in which the disease may prevail and must define the limits of such district (Bye-law 25, Ordinance 15 of 1894).\n\n3. Removal of the Sick.-Ambulances for the removal of the sick are kept at the various Police Stations, at the Canton Wharf, and at the Board's matsheds at Praya East, Taipingshan, Yaumati, and Hunghom, and sick persons are removed in these ambulances to the Tung Wah Hospital on application to the Sanitary Board, the Medical Officer of Health, or the Police, and are there examined by a Chinese Doctor trained in Western medicine and are either drafted at once by him to the Plague Hospital or detained under observation in case of doubt. In making any such application, care should be taken to state distinctly whether the patient is alive or dead, for in the case of dead bodies, a dead-box is forwarded for the removal. The ambulance is attended by a Chinese constable who conveys the details concerning the case to the Hospital Authorities.\n\nHeavy wooden boxes, with rubber washers fitted to the lids, are used for the removal of dead bodies to the Government Mortuary; these are kept at the various Police Stations and at the Board's matsheds, and information concerning the death is forwarded on a card attached to the body.\n\n4. Treatment of the Sick.-This is entirely in the hands of the Medical Department. The Government Hospital at Kennedy Town is supplemented by a series of Matshed Hospitals, also at Kennedy Town, which are managed by the authorities of the Tung Wah Hospital but are under the supervision of the Medical Department.\n\n5. Disinfection of infected Premises.-This is carried out by a European officer assisted by eight coloured foremen, a Chinese foreman, and a varying number of coolies. As soon as it is known that a case of the disease has occurred at any house, a Chinese constable is sent from the nearest Police Station to detain all persons found therein (Bye-law 22, Ordinance 15 of 1894), and the officer in charge of the disinfection proceeds to the house to ascertain how many persons are detained there. He then procures, either from the matshed at Praya East or from the Disinfecting Station, as many suits of Government clothing as are needed for the persons so detained, and having thus provided these persons with clothing, he removes their own clothing, bedding, curtains, and carpets, to the Steam Disinfecting Station, the clothing being tied up in sheets dipped in a solution of Jeyes' fluid and conveyed through the streets in baskets; persons who are able to obtain new or clean clothing from some uninfected premises are, however, not detained after they have discarded their infected clothing and handed it to the Inspector for disinfection. New goods, silk clothing which has not been recently worn, furs, and leather goods are not removed to the Steam Disinfector, but must, as a general rule, remain on the premises until they have been fumigated. When the clothing, etc., is returned (in the course of some two hours) from the Disinfecting Station, the persons who have been detained are required to put on their own clothing and must then leave the premises for some 5 or 6 hours while it is disinfected and cleansed. The Government clothing is returned to the Disinfecting Station to be steamed before it is again used. The people so displaced from their homes are at liberty to make use of the Board's matshed shelters until the processes of disinfection of the premises are complete.\n\nThe disinfection of the premises consists in the spraying of the walls with a solution of perchloride of mercury (1 in 1,000) or fumigation with free chlorine obtained by the addition of diluted sulphuric acid to chlorinated lime (1 quart of a 1 in 8 solution of the acid to each lb. of the chlorinated lime). Floors and furniture are then scrubbed with a solution of Jeyes' fluid, and the walls are then lime-washed, chlorinated lime being added to the lime-wash in the proportion of 1 lb. to the gallon.\n\n6. Burial of the Dead.-This is carried out under the superintendence of one of the Board's Officers; all bodies being buried at the Kennedy Town Plague Cemetery, unless a special permit has been granted for burial elsewhere.\n\n7. General Sanitary Precautions.-Chlorinated lime is supplied to all the public latrines for use in the buckets, and the officers of the Board are instructed to see that it is freely used.\n\nA reward of 2 cents per head has been offered since January 16th for every rat brought to an officer of the Board, and some 25,000 rats have, by this means, been collected and destroyed.\n\nFRANCIS W. CLARK,\n\nMedical Officer of Health,\n\nHONGKONG, June, 1900.\n\nPage 21\n\nEnclosure F.\n\nSANITARY BOARD OFFICES,\n\nHONGKONG, 21st July, 1899.\n\nI have the honour to submit the following report for the information of the Select Committee of the Sanitary Board, appointed to consider the question of the adequacy of the present Staff.\n\nThe City of Victoria is divided into ten Health Districts, the smallest of which has a built-over area of 23 acres and the largest of 581 acres; Kowloon Peninsula is similarly divided into two Health Districts.\n\nThe average population of each of the City Health Districts is 16,425, and the average number of domestic buildings is 768, or about 2,000 floors to each district, each floor being a separate dwelling for one or more families.\n\nEach Health District is in charge of an Inspector of Nuisances, whose duties comprise the supervision of the scavenging and conservancy of that district; the scavenging work is performed by coolies, who are supplied with Dust Carts and baskets, and who work under the supervision of a Portuguese or Indian Foreman in each of the City Health Districts. Each District Inspector is required to be about his District between the hours 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. in the summer and 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. in the winter, to see that the scavenging work is properly carried out.\n\nDuring the forenoon, the District Inspectors are required to visit the Bakeries, Lodging Houses, Opium Divans, Offensive business premises, Laundries, Cattlesheds, Latrines, and Urinals in their District, and during the afternoon, a systematic inspection has to be made of the District, in such a manner that every floor of every house in the District is visited at least once in every two months. It is as much as the District Inspectors can manage to get this house-to-house visitation work into the two months' limit, and they are required to send in a daily report showing the houses so visited by them and a record of all the nuisances and illegal structures observed in those buildings.\n\nThere are five first-class Inspectors of Nuisances in the City of Victoria, each of whom has the supervision of two Health Districts, and the daily reports of the District Inspectors, which contain mention of nuisances or of illegal structures, are referred to them to deal with the nuisances and see that they are at once abated. The First Class Inspectors also have to supervise the six-monthly cleansing and lime-washing of all tenement houses, the investigation of all uncertified deaths, the supervision of the Chinese and non-Chinese cemeteries, the supervision of the Rubbish Depôt at Tsun Wan Bay, the supervision of the Peak Sanitary District, and the institution of all prosecutions.\n\nThe duties of the Chief Inspector of Nuisances will be mainly supervisory, and I have already arranged that he should accompany the various District Inspectors on their rounds of house-to-house visitation.\n\nI beg now to direct the attention of the Committee to the following matters which, in my opinion, cannot be adequately dealt with by the present Staff, and which, it may well be argued, are entitled to receive more attention in the future than it has been possible to give them in the past.",

        "content_text": "The improvement was so gradual and so marked that one is justified in looking upon it as a cure and not a remission.\n\nMALIGNANT MALARIA WITH OBSTRUCTIVE JAUNDICE.\n\nA European sailor from a coasting steamer was admitted on 28th June.\n\nHis temperature was 100, conjunctivæ jaundiced, left lobe of liver very tender and constant vomiting; a blood slide showed numerous malignant quotidian parasites. The jaundice became rapidly general and the vomiting very persistent; under hypodermics of morphia the latter symptom subsided, but the patient became delirious and rapidly sank, dying on the 2nd July. The temperature was normal in the morning and 104 in the evening of 29th, normal all day 30th, 105 in the morning and 102 in the evening of 1st.\n\nPost mortem,--Jaundice deeply marked all over. Gall bladder slightly distended but no obstruction could be made out. Brain congested and excess of fluid. Spleen enlarged and soft. Smear from this organ teemed with malarial parasites.\n\nCHRONIC PANCREATITIS JAUNDICE-DEATH.\n\nAn engineer was admitted from a steamer on the 30th May, 1901, deeply jaundiced and dying. The only history obtainable was that he had had jaundice for over a year but had been doing his duty up to a few days before his admission. He was deeply jaundiced all over, temperature 101, quick almost uncountable pulse and great dyspnœa. He was put to bed and given stimulants but died a few hours after, passing a large tarry stool just before death.\n\nPost mortem--Gall bladder was much distended and full of bile; intestines full of blood. Pancreas very much enlarged and hard, being about double the average size and weighing eight ounces; head was firmly adherent to the common bile duct and intestines. Section of pancreas was stained and showed a large increase in the connective tissue but no recent hemorrhages.\n\nMALARIA COMA-PREMATURE BIRTH-DEATH.\n\nA Chinese prisoner in about the 8th month of pregnancy was suddenly seized with a fit at the 3 Gaol on 1st June, 1901. When seen she was quite unconscious, with contracted pupils, deep stertorous breathing, insensitive conjunctivæ and small feeble pulse. Under the idea she was suffering from uræmia she was transferred to the Maternity Hospital. On arrival she was in much the same condition, temperature 100, and passing her urine unconsciously. By means of a catheter a specimen was obtained--1015, acid, trace of albumen--3.3% urea. The following day she was slightly better and could be roused by loud shouting and tried to do what she was told (put out tongue, &c.). The urine contained albumen with blood corpuscles and blood casts. Labour came on naturally, the child, however, being dead. On the 3rd the temperature was 103, urine normal, patient again more unconscious--a blood slide showed large numbers of malignant quotidian parasites. Ten grains of quinine hypodermically were given night and morning but without any drop in the temperature which on the 4th went up to 106.8. As the patient was quite unconscious and evidently sinking, lumbar puncture was performed and the tube left in for 48 hours. Under ice packing the temperature fell to normal at midnight. The blood next morning was still full of malaria, though the patient was much better and more easily roused. The quinine was increased to 15 grains twice daily hypodermically and a mixture of Tinct. Ferri XV and Quinine gr. II given every two hours. The patient, however, slowly became more unconscious, the temperature ranging between 101 and 105 till the 7th when she died, temperature 106. Throughout urine and fæces were passed unconsciously.\n\nPost mortem.--Heart and lungs normal save for some old adhesions at right base. Liver cirrhotic, 2¼ lbs.; kidneys normal but much congested; spleen 5 oz.; brain soft and congested but no increase in the fluid either at base or in ventricles; blood smear from spleen teemed with parasites.\n\nINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION DUE TO STRICTURE OF RECTUM.\n\nA married European female, aged 31, was admitted to hospital on August 21st. She was quite well up to the 20th, when she was seen by a medical man who prescribed a pill (Pil. Hydrarg. grs. III, Pil. Coloc. Co. grs. IV) for vague abdominal pain and vomiting. On admission her temperature was 102.4, with furred tongue, tympanitis and tenderness all over the abdomen, but more especially in the right iliac region; malignant malarial parasites were found in the blood. Her previous medical history was good, though there was a history of an attack of dysentery in 1895 but no abdominal trouble since. The vomiting continued throughout; the rejected matter consisting of green \"spinach-like\" material and never fæculent. Bowels did not respond to enemata, salines or small repeated doses of calomel. On 24th she was examined under chloroform but nothing definite could be found to account for the symptoms. There was no dulness in the right iliac fossa and nothing was felt per rectum. On 25th her condition was the same and as the tympanitis was distressing and the vomiting continued a small trocar was inserted into the intestines and a quantity of fetid gas escaped with a certain amount of relief. On 26th, as her condition was decidedly worse, laparotomy was performed. The intestines were much congested and distended; there was no appendicitis and no cause was found to account for the distension. She slowly sank and died the same day.\n\nPost mortem.--No peritonitis or appendicitis. Intense enteritis.\n\nThe whole of the small intestine and the large intestine as far as the sigmoid flexure were distended and at the lower end of the sigmoid flexure a stricture was found, the intestine being contracted to the size of a goose-quill. On cutting through this constriction it was found to be due to the cicatrisation of a dysenteric ulcer with thickened and indurated edges. There was no tubercular disease anywhere.\n\nPage 224\n\nRemarks.—The case is interesting on account of the obscurity of the cause of all the abdominal symptoms. The temperature was accounted for to a certain extent by the presence of malarial parasites (malignant tertian) in the blood. Although the patient was a delicate woman her condition could hardly be attributed to the aperient she had taken. The puncture of the intestine with the smallest trocar in Potain's aspirating case afforded relief and did not induce the slightest local inflammatory trouble.\n\nHEPATIC ABSCESS-OPERATION FOLLOWED BY GUMMA OF THE LIVER-RECOVERY.\n\nA French sailor, 42 years of age, was admitted on June 7th, having been ill 15 days with fever. His temperature on admission was 101; liver much enlarged with distinct fluctuation in front. The abscess was opened, the walls stitched to the skin and a tube inserted. It healed rapidly but the temperature still ran an intermittent course, being normal in the morning and 102 or 103° in the evening. On the 13th, malignant parasites were found in the blood and 5 grains of quinine given every four hours. This brought the fever down to normal in a few days and he soon put on weight and was waiting for a passage home when on July 29th the temperature again rose with parasites in his blood (after he had been out on leave for the first time). There was also a distinct tumour of the liver below the ribs which was hard and not tender on pressure. Notwithstanding quinine every 3 or 4 hours the temperature still continued an irregular course, rising to 100 and occasionally to 103 in the evening. On August 11th, he was aspirated but no pus found. A distinct specific history having been obtained he was put on Potass. Iodid. grs. xv ter die. The temperature almost immediately fell to normal and continued to, and the swelling slowly but markedly disappeared.\n\nHe left for Europe on 9th September looking and feeling well, his weight having risen from 8st. to 8st. 7¼ lbs. and without any trace of hepatic enlargement.\n\nINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION DUE TO PLAGUE-DEATH.\n\nAn English boy aged 11 was admitted to hospital on the 9th September. He had been taken ill two days previously with a sharp pain in the abdomen for which a dose of castor oil was prescribed which however only set up vomiting immediately after being taken. On admission his temperature was 102.7, foul tongue and pain in abdomen, chiefly in right iliac fossa where there was a distinct sense of resistance on pressure. His temperature continued between 102 and 104 till the 11th, with great abdominal distension and pain. On this day a papular eruption was seen chiefly on forehead and back of ears. In the evening slight delirium was noticed for the first time. On the 12th the condition was much the same with frequent vomiting (bile and blood), very fœtid breath, epistaxis and abdominal distension, and from this onwards no further action of the bowels occurred. There was dulness in both flanks. The stools were liquid and bile-stained. There was distinct tenderness and dulness in the right iliac fossa where a distinct tumour could now be felt. In the evening the enema contained only a trace of fæces. The morning temperature was 100 and a few malignant malarial parasites were found in the blood. The evening temperature was 101.8 and the pulse varied between 88 and 92. The case became slowly worse, pulse 120 to 180, vomiting, constipation and great distension, and a trace of albumen in the urine till the 14th--8th day of illness--when the temperature rose to 105, and the patient succumbed.\n\nPost mortem.--Small intestine normal. Spleen hard and firm. No appendicitis. Large intestine (cæcum) swollen with hæmorrhagic extravasation into the walls for about 3 inches causing almost complete obstruction. Mesenteric glands swollen and hæmorrhagic. Retroperitoneal extravasation well marked. Slight amount of bloody fluid in abdominal cavity. Spleen and glands full of typical plague bacilli; a culture of which was injected into a guinea pig and produced death with plague bacilli in internal organs.\n\nRemarks.--No idea of plague was ever thought of in diagnosing this case which was looked upon at first as being one of malarial colitis or appendicitis, and the patient was treated accordingly with purges and hypodermics of quinine. Fortunately for various reasons no operation was attempted. Authorities on plague mention the possibility of mistaking the disease for appendicitis but such a case as this is worth recording owing to the very definite tumour and complete obstruction produced.\n\nCOMPOUND FRACTURE OF FEMUR-AMPUTATION--DEATH FROM TETANUS.\n\nA European sailor was knocked down by a heavy sea on the 10th December and sustained a compound comminuted fracture of the lower end of the right femur. On arrival here, six days after the accident, the man was brought to hospital. The wound was thoroughly cleaned, some jagged ends of bone removed and an endeavour made to save the limb. As the temperature chart pointed to septic infection, amputation was decided upon, and assisted by Staff Surgeon NOLAN, R.N., and Surgeon WALLIS, R.N., at 11 a.m. on the 20th, the limb was removed. Just previous to the operation the patient complained of stiffness in the jaw muscles and inability to open his mouth. To our regret smears taken from three places in the wound showed tetanus bacilli. The patient stood the shock fairly well and at 1 p.m. was conscious, the spasms short and frequent, and the pulse fairly strong. At 4 p.m. he had a severe spasm which almost raised him off the bed, and died suddenly.\n\nRemarks.--The extreme rarity of tetanus following operations here makes this case worth recording. It is extremely difficult to account for his having been infected on board a ship as the bacillus is generally looked upon as an earth germ and the steamer had not been carrying manure, horses or other animals as cargo. Immediately after the injury everything seems to have been done to keep the wound clean and the limb at rest by means of Carbolic lotion and an improvised splint.",

        "content_text": "# MEMORANDUM\n\nThe following is the result of an experiment undertaken by me to ascertain how far it might be possible to enlist the co-operation of the Chinese inhabitants in the endeavour to deal with annually recurring epidemics of plague.\n\n2. To understand the reasons that impelled me to undertake this work, it is necessary to remember that for ten years Hongkong has been scourged by this disease; that no efforts of sanitation have so far decreased its incidence or diminished its virulence; and that the proportion of cases found \"damped\" in the streets or on the hillsides increased from 25.1% in 1898 to 32.7% in the present year.\n\n3. The increase in the practice of thus depositing dead bodies I attribute to the dread of the disinfecting process as carried out by the Sanitary Authorities. The process is explained as follows in the memorandum drawn up June, 1900, by the Medical Officer of Health:\n\n## Disinfection of Infected Premises\n\nDisinfection of infected premises.-This is carried out by a European officer, assisted by eight coloured foremen, a Chinese foreman, and a varying number of coolies. As soon as it is known that a case of the disease has occurred at any house, a Chinese constable is sent from the nearest Police Station to detain all persons found therein (Bye-law 22, Ordinance 15 of 1891), and the officer in charge of the disinfection proceeds to the house to ascertain how many persons are detained there. He then procures, either from the matshed at Praya East or from the Disinfecting Station, as many suits of Government clothing as are needed for the persons so detained, and, having thus provided these persons with clothing, he removes their own clothing, bedding, curtalus, and carpets, to the Steam Disinfecting Station, the clothing being tied up in sheets dipped in a solution of Jeyes' fluid, and conveyed through the streets in baskets; persons who are able to obtain new or clean clothing from some uninfected premises are, however, not detained after they have discarded their infected clothing and handed it to the Inspector for disinfection. New goods, silk clothing which has not been recently worn, furs, and leather goods are not removed to the Steam Disinfector, but must as a general rule remain on the premises until they have been fumigated. When the clothing, etc., is returned (in the course of some two hours) from the Disinfecting Station, the persons who have been detained are required to put on their own clothing, and must then leave the premises for some 5 or 6 hours while it is disinfected and cleansed. The Government clothing is returned to the Disinfecting Station to be steamed before it is again used. The people so displaced from their homes are at liberty to make use of the Board's matshed shelters until the processes of disinfection of the premises are complete. The disinfection of the premises consists in the spraying of the walls with a solution of perchloride of mercury (1 in 1,000) or fumigation with free chlorine obtained by the addition of diluted sulphuric acid to chlorinated lime (1 quart of a 3 in 8 solution of the acid to each lb of the chlorinated lime). Floors and furniture are then scrubbed with solution of Jeyes' fluid, and the walls are then lime-washed, chlorinated lime being added to the lime-wash in the proportion of 1 lb to the gallon.\n\nIt will be observed that on receipt of information of the death of a person, a Policeman is at once placed in charge of the house, and all the inmates found therein are detained until their clothes are disinfected. This detention may be for 24 hours; but in many cases, it may be for 48 hours, as if the body is removed to the mortuary after the Government officer engaged in examination of bodies received has left for the day, no report can be received until after the examination of the bodies next day. The house is then disinfected by scrubbing the furniture and spraying the walls, while the clothing is sent to the Disinfecting Station.\n\nPage 227",

        "content_text": "## \nThe dimensions of the houses in the district are as follows: the width of Street is about 35 feet wide, the houses, generally two-storied, averaging 20 feet in height with a depth of 40 to 45 feet and open spaces in rear of from 40 to 68 feet. Third Street is about 35 feet wide; the houses are generally two-storied, averaging 20 feet in height, with a depth of 40 to 45 feet, and the open area in the rear being from 76 to 122 square feet.\n\n9. The return of the dimensions of the floors in which plague occurred shows that the cubic air space per head of the inhabitants fell far short of the requirement of 550 feet under the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance.\n\n10. On the 13th April, I proceeded to the district accompanied by the Principal Civil Medical Officer, the Medical Officer of Health, the Director of Public Works, the Hon. Ho KAI, M.B., C.M.G., and Mr. FUNG WA CHUN, a Member of the Sanitary Board, and, collecting the people, I told them, through the Chinese gentlemen present, that the Sanitary Board had offered no objection to my trying how far they would be prepared to help themselves and assist the Government in carrying out the necessary measures. I emphasised the necessity of personal cleanliness and the destruction of vermin in their houses, and undertook that, if they would give timely notice of sickness, they could be attended by either European or Chinese doctors, whichever they elected, at their own houses. To enable them to clean their houses and themselves, I proposed to erect tanks for boiling water and Jeye's fluid into which their bed boards and most of their simple furniture could be dipped, and to supply wash houses in which both sexes could have a supply of hot water for washing purposes. To carry out these proposals, I asked the people to form a Kai-fong, or committee, who would assist by their supervision. The Kai-fong is a Chinese institution in every Chinese town, each street or ward having its Kai-fong formed of men of consideration among the inhabitants. Fifteen people at once came forward, to whom five were added on taking over the further block of houses comprising the North side of Second Street and South side of Third Street, a month later, at the earnest request of the inhabitants. The list of the Kai-fong given in the report of Inspector GIDLEY shows the class of the leading inhabitants; I am entirely satisfied with the work done by them. They disseminated my views as to cleansing operations and assisted by their personal efforts in seeing that they were carried out. They reported cases of sickness, and at every visit to the district, all who were not away at their work were ready to accompany me and show me what had been done.\n\n11. By the 20th April, the six houses selected were prepared as wash houses - four for men and two for women - and three large tanks were erected of the dimensions given by Inspector GIDLEY to enable the bed boards and furniture to be immersed in boiling water. To exercise a supervision over all the operations, I obtained the services of this Inspector, who had in the epidemic of 1894 done excellent service, who speaks Cantonese like a native, and who enjoys the confidence of the Chinese. I cannot speak too highly of the manner in which he has done the work for which he so readily volunteered, and without him, there would have been great difficulty in carrying out the experiment. Mr. FUNG WA CHUN took a very active interest in the work. He accompanied me several times to the district and inspected the hospital, and he gave directions to a Chinese doctor of the Tung Wa Hospital to visit the district three times daily in case his services should be required. Doctors ATKINSON and PEARSE also visited the district and examined the cases then under treatment by Chinese doctors, while on the 9th May, a Chinese gentleman, Mr. HO KOM TENG, wrote to Inspector GIDLEY enclosing two hundred dollars with the request that the money should be used to succour the families reduced to straitened circumstances by the death from plague of those on whom they were dependent. The houses required for bath-houses were evacuated without a murmur. The immediate landlords were among the inhabitants of the district, and the letter, of which I attach a copy, shows the spirit in which they met the inquiry of Mr. FUNG WA CHUN for particulars of rent payable. The landlords of the six houses first taken for bath-houses, on being asked by me what would be the rent for two months, answered \"for such a purpose, nothing.\"\n\n12. The people were left free to choose their own doctors but were offered the services of either European or Chinese medical men; the services of the Tung Wa Hospital doctor being given gratuitously, while outside practitioners were engaged by the people on the Chinese principle of \"no cure, no fee,\" the honorarium in case of recovery being about twenty-five dollars. I obtained the prescriptions of the Chinese practitioner who successfully treated one case, of which, on examination, he expressed approval.\n\n13. My object was (1) to endeavour to secure the cleanliness of house and person, that must in any case be beneficial; (2) to induce the people to undertake this work themselves; (3) to put a stop to the dumping of dead bodies by removing the dread of disinfection by the coolies of the Sanitary Department; (4) to induce the people to give notice of sickness. Inspector GIDLEY's report (Appendix A) will show how far these efforts have been successful. It will be observed that in cases where death had occurred, the people destroyed or disinfected the bed and clothing of the deceased, cleaned the house, and remained. In cases of illness, we at first removed the inmates, who, in case of the death of the patient, returned to the house as soon as it had been cleansed. In no case was there any plague developed among these \"contacts\" after the ordinary period of incubation; for instance, in five cases occurring among the inmates of 4 Sheung Fung Lane, they were all developed within five days of the date of the first seizure reported. The return of cases attached to Inspector GIDLEY's report shows that in 41 cases, apart from those reported dead, \n| Days of Illness | Number of Cases |\n| --- | --- |\n| at once | 8 |\n| after one day | 9 |\n| after two days | 7 |\n| after three days | 1 |\n| after five days | 2 |\n| after six days | 3 |\n| after seven days | 1 |\n\nConsidering the reluctance of the Chinese to speak of illness, the return speaks well for the efficiency of supervision by the Kai-fong and the readiness of the people to co-operate with the efforts to assist them.\n\n14. Having got the tanks in order, the whole district was systematically taken house by house; the occupants bringing their bed boards and mats, their settles, and any furniture that could be immersed to be dipped in the boiling water for a few minutes and thoroughly scrubbed. Clothing was either taken to a wash house and washed or sent to the Disinfecting Station at the option of the people. With 253 houses to clean, this process took some time, but apart from the thorough cleansing as above, all the householders in the experimental block turned out their furniture into the streets, scrubbed it, and swept the houses within a week of the taking over of the small district. With two exceptions, there was no case of plague; the first invasion of which was after the date of thorough cleansing.\n\n15. So many cases occurred in the second week in May that difficulty was found in obtaining accommodation for the occupants of the houses. I therefore took a house in Third Street as a local hospital, where the patients might be attended by their friends. Two hospital attendants were engaged, but unfortunately, trained attendants could not be procured. The people showed no disinclination to go to this hospital.\n\n16. On the 14th May, I directed that the inhabitants of Sheung Fung Lane should be moved as so many cases of plague had occurred, and I wished to have the houses thoroughly explored for rat runs to see if any connection could be traced between the houses in which plague had occurred. The report (Appendix B) shows that while rat runs were connecting respectively Numbers 1, 3, and 5, 7 and 9, 15 and 13, 6 and 8, 2 and 4, the houses in connection with 8 and 4, the only infected houses in the series, namely 6 and 2, were not apparently infected.\n\n18. Having stated the objects of my experiment, the question remains whether, assuming that local hospitals and a minimum of disturbance will ensure a more timely discovery of cases of plague, we may hope for a material diminution in the case mortality. As affording a rough comparison, I have obtained from Dr. THOMSON a return of the cases of plague in Kennedy Town Hospital during this year's epidemic. It will be found in Appendix E. Dr. THOMSON divides the cases into two divisions, the reasons for which are two-fold. About the middle of May, an improved method of examination of blood for bacilli, first, I believe, discovered by Dr. Ross, was adopted by Dr. BELL of the Government Civil Hospital, and by this method, a large number of mild cases of plague were diagnosed, especially among Europeans, which under former methods would have escaped observation, and again at this time, the treatment of patients by large doses of carbolic acid was adopted in Kennedy Town Hospital.\n\nPage 229",

        "content_text": "## 25. The problem before us is, then, not simply the prevention of introduction of plague from without, a precaution taken singly that, considering the wide infection of the city must be futile, but the elimination of the media of infection in our midst, and the building up of the power of resistance to plague invasion by improvement in the general health of the population that may result from improved sanitary conditions. The first can only be accomplished by constant, unremitting attention to cleanliness of person, furniture and premises, and to be effectual it is of cardinal importance that the co-operation of the people be secured. With proper facilities afforded, I am of opinion that, while in Hongkong, as elsewhere, the residuum might be difficult to deal with at first, the difficulties are not insurmountable, and practical co-operation might be secured by enlisting the sympathies and services of the large class of respectable Chinese in a determined effort to combat the recurring epidemic, the evils of which they fully realize.\n\nBeyond the cleansing of premises there is no way by which a large number of Chinese tenement houses can be made sanitary. Each floor of these houses is a tunnel thirteen feet wide, nine feet high and of varying length, from thirty to sixty feet, with a window in front and rear. Into a large number of these floors direct sunlight never enters, and in the centre even diffused light is practically absent. When to these conditions is added a surface population so dense as it is in our congested districts---being in one district over 990 persons to the acre---it will be recognized that a population so circumstanced must necessarily be deficient in vitality.\n\nThe only remedy for this is the reconstruction of Chinese tenement houses on improved plans, and the rigid observance of the provisions of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance in relation to overcrowding. The removal and reconstruction of Chinese tenement houses will be very costly and will necessarily be a slow process, but it must be faced if we desire to prevent the devitalising of the working population to such a point that they fall ready victims to the invasion of every passing disease.\n\n## 26. I attach, in Appendix I, an interesting report just received from the Government Bacteriologist relating to the question of exterminating plague bacilli in vermin.\n\nThis experiment shows that the mere washing of furniture with a solution of Jeyes' fluid will not destroy the vermin that infest it.\n\n**HENRY A. BLAKE,**\n**Governor.**\n\nGovernment House, Hongkong, 3rd August, 1903.\n\n## Appendix A.\n\n## REPORT OF THE EXPERIMENTAL BLOCK IN SECOND AND THIRD STREETS.\n\n## FROM 20TH APRIL, 1903, TO THE 20TH JULY, 1903.\n\n**YOUR EXCELLENCY,**\n\nCENTRAL POLICE STATION,\nHONGKONG, 18th July, 1903.\n\nI have the honour to report the following for your information :-- On or about the 20th of April, at the direction of your Excellency, I took over charge of the South side of Second Street, the North side of Third Street from Eastern to Western Street, and all streets and lanes within this boundary.\n\nOn the 22nd of April, we started a systematic cleansing out of all the houses within this radius. We usually washed out from 9 to 12 floors daily at each tank, of which there were 4 in the experimental block. The tanks measured 9 feet in length, 2 feet in width and 3 feet deep and held about 400 gallons of water. To this quantity we put about 2 pints of carbolic acid and when this was boiling we commenced operations. We induced the people to first dip their mats and cloth material into the tanks for about 2 minutes, after which we dipped the bed boards, stools and furniture, etc., and more especially the kind of furniture most likely to harbour vermin.\n\nAfter the furniture, etc., had been washed, the floors were first washed out with cold water and then sluiced down with hot water from the tanks, and when the things were dry the occupants removed them back to their houses again.\n\nIf a case of Plague or other infectious disease came from any of the floors, the same process was gone through with the addition that the clothing, etc., was disinfected, either by dipping them into the hot water tanks or at the disinfecting station as the people preferred.\n\nDuring the early part of our experiment, when a case broke out on a floor, we allowed the patient to remain in the house and removed the other occupants to an empty floor. When the patient died or recovered, the occupants moved back again after the house had been cleaned out.\n\nLatterly, instead of this, we rented a house in the block and turned it into a Hospital. When a case came to our notice, the patient was removed to the Hospital. The other occupants then washed out their furniture and had their clothing disinfected. They did not shift but remained where they were.\n\nOn the 25th of April, owing to the Plague being upon us, we set all the tanks going and washed out the whole block.\n\nOn the 14th of May, owing to the large number of Plague cases in Sheung Fung Lane, all the people living there, numbering 339 persons, were removed to the observation block in Kui Yan Lane. After removal no further cases occurred amongst them.\n\nOn the 25th of May, we took over both sides of Second and Third Streets, making a total of 253 houses consisting of 631 floors and occupied by 7,701 persons inclusive.\n\n78 of these floors were vacant at the time this census was taken.\n\nOn the 27th of May, we started to wash out the new block in conjunction with the old block.\n\nOn the 29th of May we caught a number of bugs in Sheung Fung Lane and sent them to Dr. HUNTER for examination.\n\nA number of them contained Plague bacillus.",

The occupants were removed to No. 76 Second Street after disinfecting their clothing and furniture.\n\nThe following day, 12th May, a woman named LEUNG SIN was reported sick from the ground floor.\n\nThe occupants of this floor were also removed to No. 76 Second Street, except the husband and uncle of the patient.\n\nOn the 19th May, the uncle, CHUN KUM, who remained to look after the woman in No. 4 Sheung Fung Lane reported sick. He was removed to the Hospital in Third Street where he eventually recovered.\n\nOn the 14th May, a man named CHU KUM reported sick from No. 76 Second Street. This man originally came from No. 4 Sheung Fung Lane, ground floor. He was attended to by a woman named WONG SAM, who also came from No. 4 Sheung Fung Lane. The other occupants were then removed to No. 74 Second Street. He died on the 15th of May.\n\nThe following morning, the 16th May, the woman WONG SAM also reported sick. She was removed to the Hospital in Third Street where she died on the 20th of May.\n\nIn a second case there were two cases reported from the same house on different dates as follows:\n\nOn the 11th of May, a man named CHAN PO was reported sick from the first floor of No. 80 Second Street. He died on the 14th of May. During his illness, he was nursed by his wife and daughter.

They were both removed to the temporary Hospital. The younger boy LAI CHU during the afternoon was removed to the Kennedy Town Hospital at the request of the parents.

As to the rents from May last to the present time, we not only dare not accept them but we appreciate highly the care with which His Excellency and you did the cleansing work with care and timely forethought, tending the wounds of the people and allowing no detail to escape attention. Since the work has been done, the plague in that district diminished gradually and has died out entirely at the present time.\n\nWe find that the people of that place are now living happily in their homes and pursuing heartily their business. They will never forget the kindness done to them. All this is due to His Excellency's and your merit in looking after the people with care and no avoidance of trouble. No virtue is of greater value than this. You are requested to translate this into English and submit it to His Excellency. This is our earnest request. We now intend to let out the houses to other people and we feel it our duty to report it. This is to inform you and enquire after your health.\n\nYours faithfully,\n(Sd) YU SHAN TIN.\nWANG TSUN SHANG.\n\nHONGKONG, 28th July, 1903.\n\nPage 239 \nPage 26 \nPage 27",

Tyack.-I am sorry to be late with it, but I should like to ask one question: What protection do I get by registering my trade-mark under these new Regulations from the Chinese that I have not got already? That's all. (Laughter.)\n\nThe Chairman.-It is proposed by myself and seconded by Mr. Kinnear:--- That the following form the Sub-Committee: Messrs. C. Brodersen, J. N. Jameson, J. L. Scott, Sir Charles Dudgeon, M. Slevogt, and J. Stern.\n\nThe proposition was carried.\n\nMr. Tyack.-Will the Chairman kindly give me an answer to my question?\n\nThe Chairman.-I am not in a position to give one, as I don't quite understand the question.\n\nMr. Tyack.-I don't see why these names should have been passed so quickly; mine is quite an ordinary question.\n\nThe Chairman (after consulting with members of the Committee and Mr. Jamieson).---- The answer to your question is the interpretation that will eventually be put on Regulation 8 clause (c).\n\nMr. Tyack.-Is that your answer?\n\nThe Chairman.-Yes,\n\nMr. Tyack.-If you can explain that, you are pretty smart. (Laughter and \"Order.\")\n\nThe Chairman.—I don't intend to try. (Laughter.)\n\nMr. Tyack.-I want to know something about our position; I want to know, if I have already registered my mark in Manchester, or London, or Germany, or anywhere else, what extra protection I get by registering in China which I have not got now. That is a very clear question, easily to be answered by the people up there (at the Committee's table). I have a perfect right to an answer.\n\nThe Chairman.--I can't quite hear you.\n\nMr. Tyack.-I am registered in England, in Germany, anywhere; I am protected by that registration; what superior protection do I get by registering in China? Do you understand that? (Order, order.)\n\nThe Chairman.--I will ask Mr. Jamieson to reply.\n\nMr. Jamieson.-If Mr. Tyack will read the letters which are printed in large print, he will find that under Regulation 8 certain marks therein enumerated cannot be registered, and those marks are those which derive protection from priority of use in China prior, that is to say, to the date of the signing of the British Treaty. If an article in use before that date, with a trade-mark, you are absolutely protected; if you imported an article subsequent to that date, you must register it in China to get protection. In addition, you will now have rights against any Chinese who infringe your mark that you did not have before.\n\nMr. Tyack.-I have, let me presume, marks registered in Manchester or London. If I found my mark being infringed, I should proceed against the exporter. What will these Regulations do further in regard to that right?\n\nMr. Jamieson.--That is not the question. The Chinese Government can only legislate for Chinese subjects.\n\nThe Chairman.-I have nothing more to put before the meeting, and thank you for your attendance.\n\nThe meeting then closed.\n\n4.

When a specimen from one of these areas is stirred up in water, and the water containing suspended matter is allowed to run off, the residue is found to have about half the bulk of the original specimen. The residue in turn becomes halved when it is treated with acid, and the liquid is strained off. The part eliminated was shells, and the part finally remaining is quartz.\n\n## 5.\n\nFrom the foregoing it is apparent that there are forces at work causing some shoaling. In my former report I proceeded to treat the evidence adduced for immoderate shoaling as if it might be considered reliable. This was not done, however, without giving the whole of the information on which the report was based, and pointing out defects in the surveys (15), expressing doubts about zeros (21, 22, etc.), and urging the necessity for better information (42).\n\n## 6.\n\nSo little satisfied was I with the results of my investigations that in forwarding my report I wrote in a covering minute that \"the result will scarcely be considered satisfactory, after all; and you will doubtless think the report longer than the information given by it warrants. But as it has taken a great deal of trouble to get the information together, I think it best to put every step of the investigation on record, so that those who come after me may know what they might profitably look for, and what they need not look for, elsewhere\". And later, when it was proposed to publish the report as a Sessional Paper, I demurred in the following terms: \"I submit that this report is better suited for departmental reference than for anything else. To give it a fair chance it would have to be accompanied by copies of the charts; and the expense of reproducing them would not be warranted, seeing that...",

        "content_text": "## Detailed Rules in connection with Registration\n\n1. Every application relating to a trade-mark and every document describing a trade-mark must be complete in itself, and must give clearly the surname and personal name of the applicant, his residence, and the date (year, month, and day) of his application. The application and description must be written in the Chinese character. Should they be written in a foreign language they must be accompanied by Chinese translations.\n\nEvery application for registration or for the deposit of a mark must be accompanied by the block of a trade-mark for its publication in the \"Trade-Marks Gazette.\"\n\n2. All applications must be written out in accordance with the prescribed forms which are annexed to these rules.\n\n3. Should application be made through an agent or representative, he must present for examination his evidence of authority to act.\n\n4. When the Registration Office receives an application it shall enter thereon a number which it shall report to the applicant, and thereafter, should it be necessary to send any further petition relating to the trade-mark, the original number given shall be used in said petition to facilitate examination by the Office.\n\n5. When any petition is presented relating to a trade-mark already registered, said petition must use the registration number.\n\n6. When application is made for the registration of a trade-mark already registered in a foreign country, a copy of the stamped certificate issued by the foreign Government must be submitted.\n\n7. When application is made for the extension of the period of exclusive use, the certificate of registration must be sent for examination.\n\n8. If any application relating to a trade-mark or any document describing a trade-mark be indistinct or incomplete, the Registration Office may fix a time in which the applicant shall be required to correct or complete such document and return it.\n\n9. Whenever any applicant for registration, or a petitioner or complainant in any other matter, shall not take action within the time specified in the Registration Regulations, or otherwise determined in special instances by the Registration Office (such as the extension of the time limits in special cases on account of distance from the Office or difficulty in communication), it will not be necessary to consider such petitions.\n\n10. The Registration Office having examined, and found nothing objectionable in the trade-mark for which registration is asked (Article 5 of the Regulations), shall thereupon grant registration and notify the applicant.\n\nThe applicant, upon receipt of the above-mentioned notice, shall, within the time specified by the Registration Office, send to this Office the registration fee, the trade-mark block, and the above-mentioned notice.\n\n11. The applicant having complied with the requirements of the second paragraph of rule 10, the Registration Office shall thereupon grant him registration, and give to him a certificate.\n\n12. All trade-mark blocks, whether made of wood or metal, shall measure 4 inches in length by 3 inches in breadth, and 1 inch in thickness.\n\n13. Any one who may petition for the cancellation of the registration of a trade-mark, in accordance with Article 13 of the Regulations for the Registration of Trade-marks, must prepare his petition in duplicate. The petition must set forth in detail the reasons for cancellation, and if there be any article that may be submitted in evidence, it must be sent for examination with the petition.\n\n14. Should the circumstances provided for in the foregoing Article occur, on the presentation of the petition, the Registration Office shall file the original copy and send the duplicate to the defendant in the case, requiring him within a fixed time to make reply, and after comparing the statements of the two parties, shall take action in the matter.\n\n15. Should the registration of a trade-mark be cancelled, or the owner of a trade-mark cease to use it, or should he close his business, the Registration Office shall at once require the return of certificate.\n\n16. When the exclusive right to the use of a trade-mark is transmitted to heirs, they must present evidence of the fact to the Registration Office with a petition, requesting a change in the certificate of registration.\n\n17. Whenever the transfer of the right in a mark requires to be registered (Article 11 of the Regulations), a joint application by the parties concerned must be sent in, accompanied by the certificate of registration.\n\n18. Should any change be made in the residence of the owner of a registered trade-mark, or in his representative or agent, the fact must be at once reported.\n\n19. Every applicant must report the particular kind of goods upon which he proposes to use the trade-mark, according to the classification list appended to these rules. If he should be unable to determine to which class the goods belong, the Registration Office shall decide the matter for him.\n\n## Registration of Trade-marks, Classifications\n\n| Class | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | Chemicals, medical compounds, medical ingredients, stimulants, and tonics: Acids, salts, alkalis, glue, phosphorus, soap, spirits of wine, table salt, lime, sulphur, mineral waters, all sorts of medical ingredients, medicines ready for sale, pills, powders, ointments, pellets, bandages, lint, cotton-wool, sponges, &c., used for medical or surgical purposes |\n| 2 | Dyeing, colouring and polishing materials: Blue, indigo, purple, green, prussian blue, vermilion, minium, lacquer, varnish, oil-paints, blacking, &c. |\n| 3 | Perfumes, cosmetics, dentifrices: Preparations for the hair and complexion, scents, brilliantines, pomatums, incense, rouge, tooth-powders, face-powders |\n| 4 | Metals, and manufactured metals: Pig-iron, wrought-iron, steel, iron bars, iron plates, iron wire, copper, copper plates, copper wire, lead, zinc, tin, alloys, &c. |\n| 5 | Manufactured metal articles: Cast and wrought-metal articles |\n| 6 | Implements, tools, cutlery: Sickles, saws, chisels, drills, cold chisels, axes, razors, pins and needles, nails, screws, &c. |\n| 7 | Precious metals, precious stones and articles made therefrom, together with imitations thereof, viz.: Gold, silver, platinum, shakudo, diamonds, coral, agate, crystal, &c. |\n| 8 | Mineral substances used for building and decorative purposes: Cement, plaster, stone, asphalt, &c. |\n| 9 | Porcelain and pottery: Porcelain, pottery, earthenware tiles, bricks, &c. |\n| 10 | Enamels, cloisonne |",

The use of Cyllin was therefore introduced by Dr. J. T. Clark and continued up to the time that the Principal Civil Medical Officer returned to the Colony in September last when Jeyes Fluid was again used, Dr. Atkinson preferring it to either Cyllin or Snowdol owing to its mixing more readily with water, a fact of importance seeing that the disinfectant is handled by Chinese coolies.\n\nThe above facts explain why this Government did not entertain Messrs. Snowdon Sons and Company's application for orders of their disinfectants.\n\n3.\n\nWith reference to the second paragraph of Your Lordship's Despatch, I enclose a copy of a letter addressed to this Government by the Crown Agents on the 15th August, 1902, in which the relative prices of disinfectants purchased in this Colony and in England are compared.\n\nThe only disinfectant used by this",

Brunner Mond and Company of Northwich, for a strength of 35%, but we could buy at the same rate f.o.b. Hamburg through Messrs. Howards and Sons and therefore probably somewhat less by dealing direct with a German Firm. We do not however possess the information necessary to compare the quality of supplies from either of these sources with that of the chemical at present obtained from Japan.\n\nThe price we give for Sulphuric Acid is based on a quotation from Messrs. Howards and Sons for \"Acid Sulph: Commercial (C.U.V.)\" packed in cases containing four two-gallon jars. We are informed that ten-gallon jars would be more expensive and also difficult, if not impossible, to ship from this country.\n\nThe details are as follows:-\n\n9372 cases each containing 2 gallons @ 19/6.\n\nFreight and Charges 13/3 per case.\n\nInsurance on £1,950 @ 13/12/0 %.\n\nCrown Agents' Commission 1% on £1,925\n\n£761.14. 4\n\n£249. 8. 0\n\n£19. 5. 0\n\n£1. 7\n\nTotal for 7,500 gallons..\n\n£1,944. 8. 9\n\nIt will be seen that the cost of freight and insurance considerably exceeds the prime cost of the acid.\n\nAll the prices given are however necessarily rather uncertain as market prices and freight rates fluctuate and a trial order would seem to afford the only opportunity for instituting a comparison of actual quality and price.\n\nI have etc.,\n\n(Sd.)

In the case of a few of the largest and most important, the inverts are lined with ashlar masonry, 10 inches in depth, set and grouted in cement mortar.\n\nThe object of the training work originally carried out was to protect property from the serious damage caused by heavy rainstorms, which frequently produced landalips and washed down large boulders in the case of the untrained channels. It was also found useful for enabling building lots to be laid out with a greater degree of regularity than was otherwise possible. During the past 6 or 7 years however the chief object of the work has been to remove the breeding-places of the anopheles mosquito and many channels which had hitherto been allowed to remain in their natural condition have now been trained for that purpose only.\n\n2nd.

Cart at once that for burning to the Station set apart for that purpose and there burn. Cart the remainder to the dust boats.\n\n(c) Examine carefully all sanitary appliances, all drains, inspection chambers, ventilators, etc., and note any defect and the work necessary to make it good, in order that the work may be put in hand at once.\n\n1. Open all windows and doors and let light and air into the building.\n\n2. Make a correct inventory of all articles which are to be sent to the Steam Disinfector, or otherwise disinfected as the Medical Officer may direct, such as bedding, including mattresses, curtains, hangings, clothes, carpets, rugs, etc., not including leather goods.\n\n3. Move all furniture room by room, into the verandah, yard or street and wash with Jeyes' Fluid, the strength of which to be half a pint of Jeyes' Fluid to every gallon of water.\n\n4. Spray the walls and ceilings, including the interior and exterior of cubicles with a solution of Corrosive Sublimate (1 in 1000). In spraying a wall begin at the lower part and gradually spray higher.\n\n5. All boarding on the ground floor showing signs of decay or of having rat-runs underneath, to be taken up. A search to be made for rat runs. Pour crude carbolic acid down any that may be found. Rats escaping from their runs should be immediately killed and a man should be specially detailed for the purpose while the floor is being taken up and the runs exposed. All dead rats should have solution of Jeyes' Fluid immediately thrown on to them, and be removed by a pair of tongs.\n\n6. Lime-wash all internal walls, including those of the passages. Scrub the floors and all woodwork with a solution of Jeyes' Fluid (half a pint to the gallon) and after they have dried scrub with soft soap and water.\n\n7. All furniture having been returned to the house, the yards and appurtenances should be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected again.\n\nOn the completion of the disinfection and cleansing of the house all the windows on the ground floor should be securely fastened and all those on the upper floors left open at the top. All external doors should be fastened and the key of the front door handed to the owner.\n\n**Francis W. Clark, Medical Officer of Health**\n\nThe average amount of Disinfectants required per floor should be about as follows:-\n\n| Disinfectant | Quantity |\n| --- | --- |\n| Solution of Perchloride of Mercury 1 in 1000 | 10 gallons |\n| Jeyes' Fluid | 3 gallons |\n| Crude Carbolic acid for rat runs | 4 pints |\n| Strong liquid preparation of soft soap | 1 gallon |\n\n## Letter from Downing Street\n\n23rd August, 1894\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No.133 of the 5th of June last enclosing a petition addressed to the House of Commons by various residents at Hongkong, praying for an amendment of the constitution of the Colony.\n\n2. This petition was forwarded to you by Mr Whitehead, Member of the Legislative Council, and though, among his colleagues in the Council, Mr Keswick and Mr Belilios have refused to sign it, it bears the signatures of Mr Chater and Dr Ho Kai, both members of the Council, of Mr Jackson, Manager of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, and of other leading residents. I am therefore bound to assume that it is the matured conviction of at least a considerable proportion of the most influential members of the community, that constitutional changes are desirable at Hongkong and that for the present Crown Colony system should be substituted, some measure of self-government. It is my duty to examine the arguments which have been brought forward, with care and attention; and I should be wanting in courtesy if I did not give full answer to a petition which is far-reaching in its scope and which has been strongly supported.\n\n3. The petitioners have addressed themselves to the Governor, Sir W. Robinson, K.C.M.G.",

The cultures - both bouillon and agar-agar - were in every case 48 hours old and incubated at 36-37°C. They were poured over the rice and thoroughly mixed, with clean glass rods, through the rice, before placing the dishes before the animals.

I do not recollect what proportion this bore to the contract price, (I should be glad to know) but it seemed inadequate. This system appears somewhat irregular and unsatisfactory. \"Financial Instructions\" do not perhaps entirely apply to the Departmental System of Railway Construction, but Rule 101 is opposed to such procedure. Hon. Colonial Secretary stated that Sir H. Nathan had laid it down that the Chief Resident Engineer should not enter into any contract over $500 without the Governor's consent. I observed that this limit seemed to me very low, and that what I desired was not so much a fixed money limit at all as that Government should have more knowledge of what contracts were offering in order that the services of the Hon. Director of Public Works might be available to assist the Chief Resident Engineer. It goes without saying that owing to the fact of his long residence here, the innumerable contracts which he has made, and his personal knowledge of all local contractors European and Chinese - his assistance in such a matter must be of great value and his opinion on the tenders would carry great weight with the Government on whose behalf and at whose cost the Railway is being constructed. It is not a question of interfering in any way with the supervision of the Chief Resident Engineer in Railway matters or of lessening his responsibility, but merely of assisting him in the placing of contracts (which he desires to place) to the best advantage by enlisting the co-operation of those who have greater local experience. If the Chief Resident Engineer desires to let a contract therefore he should prepare the necessary specifications &c., and submit them to the Government together with any offers for the work which he has obtained. The Government will then satisfy itself that the contract is the best obtainable (probably by putting it up to tender) and that the security is sufficient. I think this principle might be carried even further, and that the Chief Resident Engineer should discuss with the Director of Public Works or at a meeting such as this the various works in hand\n\nPage 203\n\n...\n\n...\n\nPage 205",

        "content_text": "## TEM\nNo results of much value have so far been obtained. \nIt had been the custom previously to examine all rats, caught or found by the rat catchers, for plague by stained smears of the heart blood and spleen made by a coolie trained to open the rats and prepare the smears. However, the present Indian Plague Commission recently published a full account of a better method consisting chiefly of opening up the sites of all the lymphatic glands to naked eye inspection. In October, this more advanced method was substituted here and it gave me abundant opportunity of studying the lesions of various rat diseases.\n\n### Leprosy\nIt is not infrequent to find on older rats patches of skin which appear dry and scaly and a little thickened and from which the hair has fallen off. These are not unlike the skin lesions of anaesthetic leprosy of man in appearance. I have not found the leprosy bacillus in rats suffering from them, though further search will be made in the nerves. The condition described is not the same as the well-known disease of rats associated with acid-fast bacilli.\n\n### Tuberculosis\nI have not found this disease in rats in Hongkong. Rats have frequently been found with the whole of one lung or a single lobe completely replaced by a caseous mass. Caseous lumps and small abscesses with thickened walls have been found in the mesentery and cold (chronic) abscesses with thickened walls have been found elsewhere. These lesions...",

        "content_text": "47\n\n314\n\nDuring the examination of the Polyxene ores, recently discovered by me in Hongkong, (the Platinum Group) I noticed the behaviour of osmium with nitric acid, which I believe furnishes the key to much of the early, and later, sickness in the Colony, such as I have good reason to believe caused:-\n\n1. The abandonment by the Naval Authorities of the site called Navy Bay, at West Point, their first depot,\n\n2. The abandonment of the European Settlements at Wong-nei-chong and Morrison Hill,\n\n3. The great sickness consequent on cutting Wanchai Gap road, leading to Happy Valley.\n\n4. The abandonment of Sai-wan, and afterwards Stanley, as Military cantonments.\n\n5. The sickness of troops sent to the Military Sanatorium at Magazine Gap, where the top was peeled off a hill, and the building placed in the middle, leaving a large area of disintegrated rock round it.\n\n6. The abandonment of Pok-fu-lam as a suburban place of residence in 1862-3.\n\nI consider the disintegration of rocks largely due to the presence of osmium. Hills, formerly covered with forest growth, produced, with their quota of decaying vegetable matter, during a long period of history, ammonia and nitrates. The chemical affinity of nitre for osmium gradually produced effects of disintegration in rocks impregnated with platinum metals, to a depth sometimes, in Hongkong and vicinity, of thirty feet. This disintegrated rock, on being cut into, was ready, when acted upon by hot rays of the sun, at once to produce the poisonous vapour of osmic tetroxide. Once started, the discharge went on day and night for some time,\n\nIt has been said that opium was first introduced into China (Tonquin) by Arab Merchants, and used by Chinese as a prophylactic against malarious fever. When burnt it throws off what is known as an \"animal\" smell, and the process of distillation called smoking, no doubt yields ammonia, amongst other things. Ammonia was formerly obtained by distilling such animal matters as bones, skins, horn &c., and I was struck with the fact told me when travelling in Kwong Tung, in answer to my enquiry why there was no export of hides from the North river districts, as is done in the Yangtze valley, - that these hides &c., had better value for making into factitious opium, which was smoked after mixture with a proportion of genuine.\n\nIn metallurgy, during the process of refining platinum metals, the osmium is captured by leading tetroxide vapours, which come off, into a vessel containing ammonia. It would thus appear that the antidote for poisonous vapours of osmium tetroxide is ammonia.\n\nHongkong 10th February, 1909.\n\nJ. GRANT SMITH.",

After I took charge of the cheque book Mr. Tatam continued to draw money from the butchery. On 11th December, 1895, Mr. Tatam drew $150 from the Butchery for personal expenses. While living with me he paid nothing for board and lodging, This went on for 6 weeks to 2 months from 15th September, 1895, to the end of October, 1895, after that date he drew money from the Butchery for current expenses. At that time I rented the top of a house and the Butchery was on the 1st floor. Mr. Tatam drew out money as he liked. The matter was treated as in the case of an ordinary partnership. Mr. Tatam drew money for current expenses and at the end of the year a settlement would have been made had the business shown a profit. I advanced money without interest and Mr. Tatam was to give his services, and we were to divide the profits. I borrowed on 22nd October, 1895, the sum of $1,000 which I put into the Butchery.\n\n(sd.) F. A. Hazeland,\n\nAttorney-General.\n\nPage 598",

        "content_text": "## Medical Note on the Deaths of the Emperor Kuang Hsü and the Empress Dowager\n\n### The Emperor\n\nSince birth, he had never been of robust constitution. There seems little doubt that he suffered from hypospadias, a congenital condition in which it is a surgical fact that there is absence of some part of the floor of the urethra. In almost all these cases, there is some degree of arrested development of the testicles and scrotum, with loss of ability to procreate. The local irritation caused by this hypospadias is capable of setting up spermatorrhoea, or rather a false spermatorrhoea, in which there is a discharge of a seminal-like fluid, destitute of spermatozoa. The presence of this complaint would serve to keep him in a more or less debilitated condition—a lack of virility—all his life.\n\nThe heavy duties of Court life, from which there was never any respite, with Grand Council meetings beginning at 4 A.M., and all the worries of his peculiar position, would appear to have brought him into a condition of neurasthenia. From time to time, he suffered from attacks of insomnia. The never-ending press of work in an individual in whom the capacity for work was limited and the general history of the case were causes such as give rise to neurasthenia. The doctors who attended him know well enough the symptoms of phthisis, as it is so common a disease among Chinese, but they have never said he suffered from this. Nor had his face the puffy appearance of one suffering from kidney disease, and he did not show any of the other manifestations of tuberculosis, such as intestinal or bone disease, as far as can be gathered from the clinical symptoms he was said to have shown.\n\nThe progressive weakness of neurasthenia was accompanied, as is the case in its latter stages, by cardiac weakness and general loss of tone of the circulatory, intestinal, and sexual systems from which he respectively suffered in the last stages of his illness: (1) swelling of the lower limbs, (2) pronounced constipation, (3) pronounced spermatorrhoea. The \"vicious circle\" thus established, by which the weaker his constitution became, the more these symptoms were aggravated and vice versa, gives a quite reasonable explanation of how he came by his death.\n\n### The Empress Dowager\n\nAt the recent audience when Sir John Jordan introduced Admiral Lambton, it was remarked by those of us who were present that, while Her Majesty was looking well, she had aged in appearance, and for some time previous to that, there were reports that she had not been in good health. At the beginning of October, she suffered from an attack of weakness, and the Chinese said she had caught cold (\"chao liang\"). There was a good deal of influenza in Peking about that time, from which a great many Chinese suffered, and it is quite possible she had that, as there were no definite symptoms that they could put a name to beyond general body weakness.\n\nOn her birthday, by all accounts, she ate more than usual and took some fruit which was over-ripe. By the next day, she was suffering from dysenteric symptoms, and the acute diarrhoea with loss of blood very soon brought her into a debilitated state. Dysentery in elderly people is always much more dangerous than in earlier life. A Chinese doctor (Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel in the Lu Chün and in touch with other official doctors) told me that for four days she passed motions of \"strips of black blood\"—evidently pieces of her intestinal mucous coat mixed with blood. This blackness points to the irritation being high up in the bowels—probably an acute gastritis.\n\nIn any case, it seems certain she never really rallied from this attack and felt herself getting steadily weaker. While in this state, she sent Prince Ching to see about her tomb, and during his absence, on hearing of the Emperor's grave condition, her anxiety became acute and no doubt made her worse. A few hours after Prince Ching's return, the Emperor died—about 8 p.m. To the unsettled state of the succession, coupled with the absence of any proper treatment, sedative or otherwise, must have strained her to the utmost. She held a Grand Council meeting at 2 A.M., after a long and anxious day, and later on in the early morning when they returned to again consult with her, she could only wave them aside, saying she was too weak to speak. She died the next afternoon, her dysenteric symptoms persisting to the end.\n\n### Review of the Circumstances of these Deaths\n\nOn reviewing the circumstances of these deaths with a view to rumours which have been bruited abroad as to foul play (poisoning), while, in the Emperor's case, there is no evidence of it, the sudden appearance of acute intestinal disease in the Empress Dowager might be said to be suspicious. But I do not think so for the following reasons:\n\nPoisons all fall into the three main classes of:\n1. Corrosives;\n2. Neurotics; and\n3. Irritants.\n\nUnless there was a widespread collusion to hide the truth, she had none of the symptoms of the two former classes. Those of corrosives are marked and unmistakable, and neurotics are equally excluded—there was no sudden death as by prussic acid, nor coma as by a narcotic, nor sudden rapid suffocating sensations as by strychnine, &c. She might have been given an irritant poison; in the absence of all opportunity for analysis, it would be difficult to say definitely, but from her symptoms, it is improbable that such was the case. There is no mention of her having had nausea, violent vomiting, or great pain, and her illness did not steadily increase in severity till collapse and death occurred.\n\nAs far as can be gathered, though the treatment may have left much to wish for, and if properly carried out might have tided her over this attack, her death was a natural one, my diagnosis being dysentery accentuated by over-fatigue in a senile constitution.\n\n**G. Douglas Gray, M.D.**\n\nPeking, November 19, 1908.\n\n(Signed)",

On 7th instant I made a post-mortem examination on the body of William Edward Cooke. The body was fresh, and showed pink patches over the skin. The lungs were congested and also showed pink patches. The blood was cherry red coloured. The kidneys showed passive congestion. I removed the stomach and sent it for analysis to Mr. Browne, Government Analyst. In my opinion the cause of death was C.O. poisoning.\n\nFrank Browne:\n\nI am Government Analyst. On December 7th, I received from Dr. Macfarlane a stomach. I found it to contain meconic acid and a quarter of a grain of morphine. On the same day I received from the Police the tumbler, 2 medicine bottles, and 2 towels produced. In all of these and in the bottles I found opium. A quantity of meat and tea and lemonade and soup was sent me by the Police at the same time; but no opium was present in these.\n\nPercy James Kelly sworn and examined:\n\nI am Medical Officer at Kennedy Town Hospital. About 4:30 p.m. on December 4th, deceased, who was Wardmaster at the Hospital, telephoned to me at my residence. He said, \"I feel my life is insecure, as I have the impression that the hospital boys are going to take my life.\" He said nothing definite. I 'phoned to the P.S.\n\nNext day, about 12:45 p.m., I visited the Hospital and saw deceased, who seemed in normal spirits. I asked him why he phoned to me. He said, \"I overheard a chance remark made by one of the servants.\" I thought at the time it was a delusion.\n\nOn 6th instant, shortly after 10 a.m., I received a call and went to the Hospital. I entered one of the bathrooms and saw deceased lying on his back. Life was extinct. Beside him were the 2 bottles produced containing tincture of opium, dregs; they were empty.

The law further provided that no person might be licensed who was either not of full age or a woman, though the latter could obtain a licence by special sanction of the commissioner.\n\nAn additional safeguard against the consumption of opium by persons hitherto unused to it was provided in the clause of the ordinance which prohibits the existence of opium divans.\n\nNo opium, whether raw or prepared, may be exported from Wei-hai-Wei except under licence from the commissioner. It will be seen that a complete system of control, leading to the abolition of the consumption of opium in the territory, has been established, and that measures have been taken to prevent the drug being exported from Wei-hai-Wei.\n\nThe situation in Ceylon was slightly different. Besides those persons who were habitual consumers of opium, the vedaralas (or native doctors who were trained in the traditional Ceylonese system of medicine) habitually used opium in their prescriptions. Some difficulty was encountered in the settlement of the question of what persons, professing to be vedaralas, had any claim to knowledge of the ancient tradition. The matter was, however, decided by careful enquiry, and those persons who were found to be qualified vedaralas were registered, and are entitled to use opium in treating their patients.\n\nAn ordinance, which came into force on the 1st October, 1910, regulates the traffic.\n\nThe right of importing opium, whether raw or prepared, is vested solely in the Government, and is delegated to the principal civil medical officer, who has charge of the distribution of the drug. Opium for purely medicinal purposes may be supplied by the principal civil medical officer to qualified medical men and veterinary surgeons, and to registered vedaralas. It can only be supplied to other persons on registration as habitual consumers. No person could be registered except on production of satisfactory evidence that at the time when the law was passed he was a habitual consumer, together with evidence of the amount which he was accustomed to consume and the manner and form of consumption. Thus the opium consumers in Ceylon are a definite number, to which additions cannot be made. The use of the drug, except for medicinal purposes, must therefore disappear in course of time. Further precautions against undue use of opium are taken by limiting the annual amount allowed to a registered consumer or vedarala to eight ounces.\n\nThe importation, possession, or sale of opium, except by the authorised officer (the principal civil medical officer), and for the purposes described above, is illegal. It has therefore not been found necessary to impose any restriction on the exportation of opium, since the amount imported depends on the purely local consumption, the maximum amount of which can be ascertained.\n\nThe conditions in the Malay peninsula and in Hong Kong appear to preclude for the present any system of registration of opium consumers, the object of which is to compile a list to which no addition can be made; the constant changes in the population of Hong Kong and the regular immigration of Chinese into the Malay peninsula prevent the introduction of such a system, since, under present conditions, a large proportion of new-comers are consumers of opium.\n\nBoth in Hong Kong and in the Malay peninsula the policy of the Government has been, and continues to be, the restriction of the traffic, so far as is possible, consistently with the prevention of the substitution of morphia injection and other forms of drug taking. The habit is already deplorably prevalent, and smuggling is hard to check, since the packages containing the drugs are capable of easy concealment.\n\nUntil the beginning of 1910, the importation, preparation, and sale of opium was farmed by the Government of the Straits Settlements to a syndicate, whose interest lay in encouraging the use of the drug as far as possible. By Ordinance No. 21 of 1909 the Government took to itself the monopoly of the right to import, export, prepare, sell, and retail opium. Chandu, i.e., opium prepared for consumption, can only be retailed by duly licensed persons and at a fixed price, and licences are required for the maintenance of smoking divans. Only adult males can buy chandu. Further restrictions on the sale were imposed by a heavy increase in the price, which in 1910 was raised by 50 per cent., and by the rigid suppression of opium-smoking in brothels, which had been a lucrative though illegal addition to the farmers' profits.\n\nIn the settlement of Labuan, which is at present still subject to the \"farm system\", the Government will introduce the monopoly system at the end of 1912, when the farm expires. Arrangements have also been made to supply the State of North Borneo with chandu in bulk from the 1st January, 1913, when the present farm will be terminated.\n\nPage 47\n\n350\n\nBorneo with chandu in bulk from the 1st January, 1913, when the present farm will be terminated.\n\nareas.\n\nThe Federated Malay States in 1909 were divided into coastal and non-coastal areas. In the former, the same system which existed in the Straits Settlements was established. In the latter, which were largely in the hands of farmers, only raw opium might be imported, and the manufacture and sale of chandu were in the hands of the farmer or of licensed persons. Since the 1st January, 1911, however, the system in force in the Straits Settlements has been extended not only over the whole of the Federated Malay States, but over all the other protected States in the peninsula with the exception of Kelantan and Trengganu, where it has not yet been found possible to cancel the existing farms. The Government of the Straits Settlements imports, prepares, and supplies all the chandu needed by the States.\n\nIn the Straits Settlements the Governor in Council has power to prohibit the exportation of raw opium or of chandu, or to impose limitations and conditions on exportation. At present opium may not be exported to Trengganu and Siam except when the requisition for the export is countersigned by the British agent at Trengganu or the Siamese consul-general at Singapore, as the case may be.\n\nNo restrictions on exportation from the Federated Malay States are provided by law, since they receive their supplies from the Straits Settlements, and the colony only imports sufficient raw opium for its own needs and those of the States which it supplies.\n\nThe Government of Hong Kong has not found it practicable to take the monopoly of the importation, preparation, and sale of opium into its own hands, but since the meeting of the Shanghai Commission, restrictions on the traffic have been made by the limitation of the farmer to a certain number of chests per annum (800 in 1911) by the suppression of opium divans and by forbidding the sale of prepared opium to any person other than an adult male.\n\nThe preparation and sale of opium is vested in the farmer, and raw opium can only be imported by him or by a person possessing a permit signed by a Government officer and countersigned by the farmer. By a resolution of the Legislative Council which came into force on the 1st September, 1911, the importation of any kind of raw Indian opium is forbidden unless covered by export permits from the Government of India to the effect that it has been declared for shipment to or consumption in China. This resolution does not apply to opium imported by or for the use of the farmer. The exportation of prepared opium or of dross opium (i.e., preparation of opium in which the residue of opium, which has been smoked, forms the main ingredient) to China, French Indo-China, the United States of America, the Philippine Islands, the Netherlands Indies, Siam, and Japan is forbidden under the provisions of \"The Opium Ordinance, 1909,\" and Government Notification No. 94 of the 1st April, 1910. The exportation of opium to those places to which it is lawful can only be carried out with the written permission of the superintendent of imports and exports.\n\n(b.) Morphia, Cocaine, and other Drugs.\n\nThere were previously restrictions on the importation and sale of morphia and other deleterious drugs in the Eastern colonies and protected States, but since the meeting of the Shanghai Commission, the legislation on the subject has been amended so as to impose greater restrictions.\n\nThe Wei-hai-Wei Ordinance No. 1 of 1909 forbids any person except qualified medical men and chemists to import, export, possess, sell, or buy any morphine or other hypnotic, including cocaine. Such qualified persons may only deal in or dispense such drugs for bona fide medicinal purposes. The only change which has been made in the law of Ceylon is that dealing in morphine, which up to 1910 was regulated by the Poisons Ordinance, is now regulated by \"The Opium Ordinance, 1910,\" and is subjected to the same restrictions with regard to importation, sale, and possession as opium. Under \"The Poisons Ordinance, 1901,\" the sale of cocaine and other poisonous drugs is subjected to regulations similar to those in force in the United Kingdom.\n\nWhen the Shanghai Commission met, the law in force in the Straits Settlements regulating the importation, sale, and use of morphia, cocaine, &c., was \"The Deleterious Drugs Ordinance, 1907.\" Under its provisions no deleterious drug could be imported or exported to the Federated Malay States without written permission from the principal civil medical officer, and no person except a medical practitioner or chemist licensed by the principal civil medical officer could prescribe or deal in the drugs.

For example, it is possible that Dutch and Belgian cocaine comes largely through German and British ports, and German cocaine through British and Belgian ports. A good deal of traffic also follows a round-about route through China and Japan, and through Far-Eastern ports like `Hongkong`, `Macao`, `Amoy`, `Swatow`, `Singapur` and `Penang`. `Kiaochau` may soon be added to the list. The chief German firms exporting cocaine to this country, according to our information, are Messrs. E. Merck and Co., of `Darmstadt`; Messrs. John Dieder Bicher and Co., of `Berlin`; and Messrs. Egmont Heydorn and Co. and Edward Brückner and Co., of `Hamburg`. To these may be added the following firms from whom cocaine and allied drugs have been received in India: `Hamburg`, Messrs. Blembel Brothers, and Karl Festin; and `Darmstadt`, Messrs. Schinilt and Wildenhaya (`Schmidt und Wildenheim` ?). It is said that cocaine can be most economically manufactured in Germany, because, its production being classed as an industry, the spirit used is issued duty free, and the acid used to precipitate it is a bye-product of another German industry; but on both these points our information is incomplete. As far as India is concerned, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, and Holland are the principal countries of origin of imported cocaine. The exports of cocaine from India are so infinitesimal that they need not be considered.\n\n## 40. The **licit** supplies of cocaine and its congeners, however, sink into relative insignificance beside the **contraband** trade. In spite of all our regulations and the yearly increasing activity of the Police and the Excise preventive establishments, the chief consumption of cocaine in India is unquestionably from supplies obtained illicitly. The drug fetches high prices, occupies very little space and can be easily hidden in postal packets or on the person as it has not the tell-tale odour of opium. The amount of licit imports of cocaine in recent years into India may be roughly taken at about 1,400 ounces per annum; the amount of illicit cocaine seized in British India in 1910 was over 3,000 ounces. The seizures of illicit drugs represent an amount far below what is actually consumed illicitly by the people. It is for these reasons that we urge the paramount necessity of striking at the root of the evil by the strictest regulation and control at the centres of production, and by enactments in the countries of production prohibiting or effectively regulating the export of these drugs to countries which forbid their import.\n\n## 41. A statement showing the seizures of illicit cocaine and its congeners made by Excise and Customs officers in British India during the six years 1905-1910 is appended. The provinces not shown in the statement have no illicit seizures to report. The progressive increase in the activity of the preventive services is reflected in the figures of illicit seizures, but the provincial Governments are convinced that the cocaine vice itself is very much on the increase, and nothing but the whole-hearted co-operation of the countries of production will serve effectively to check the evil.\n\n## 42. This illicit traffic in cocaine has been minutely studied in Burma, is generally found in association with the traffic in morphia. A man engages a three-storey building. The principal dealer lives on the top floor. The first floor is used as a den where the drug is injected hypodermically. The ground floor is used for the sale of the drug by packets. This floor is strongly barricaded, and the vendor sits behind a small opening (as in a pawn-broker's shop) and sells the packets. If a customer comes into the shop desirous of using the hypodermic syringe, he is admitted to the first floor, where he is supplied with a syringe and a packet or more of cocaine. He gets operated on and leaves the premises. When the sale of the packets downstairs is exhausted the proprietor of the house sends down a bottle or more of the drug. These are at once made up into packets ready for sale, and this goes on night and day. When the dens are raided, only small quantities of the drug are found; the bulk of it is either thrown into the latrine or into a bucket of water where it immediately dissolves.\n\nAnother and a less suspicious form of the cocaine den is where the proprietor does not ordinarily occupy a whole building. He confines himself to renting one or more adjoining rooms on the ground floor or the first floor. An agent is engaged to act as seller for one rupee a day, with food found. Part of one of the rooms is strongly boarded off. Inside the stronghold so formed the agent ensconces himself and sells the drug through a small aperture. The rest of the den is for the use of the customers. Some buy what they want and go away, while others wait their turn or remain to sleep off the effects. An expert injector is ordinarily found on the premises; he is paid one anna per injection. Scouts are generally placed outside the den. If it is raided before the alarm can be raised, the seller empties all the cocaine into the latrine and flushes it. The seller keeps only a small quantity of the drug for retail sale, as the den may at any time be visited by an official, and the seller would in that case be compelled to destroy all he has, to save arrest and prosecution. Sometimes the pieces of paper in which the drug has been sold (and which usually littered the floor) have been collected, and the seller prosecuted on the Chemical Examiner reporting that traces of the drug could be found. Sellers and customers are, however, getting careful, and paper stained with the drug is no longer now found in the dens as a rule.\n\n## 43. The prices paid for cocaine by wholesale importers into `Rangoon` are about Rs. 8 to Rs. 9 per ounce. The recent tendency of European prices appears to have been in the direction of cheapening the drug. The den-keepers and retail dealers buy from wholesale vendors at from Rs. 40 to Rs. 100 per ounce, but even these prices go up enormously when the supply is short. The den-keepers supply their customers at double or treble the prices they have paid. The drug is put up in one anna and two anna packets. The profits are so great that a large fortune may be secured by a single successful operation. In a seizure of cocaine in 1909, it was reported that a profit of half a lakh of rupees (Rs. 50,000) would have been cleared if the consignment had been smuggled through.",

In Weihaiwei and Ceylon, where the number of opium consumers is small and the population more or less stable, it has been found possible to institute a system of registration which will gradually abolish opium consumption, whereas in Hongkong and the Malay Peninsula, where the Chinese population fluctuates and fresh immigrants are constantly arriving, registration is considered to be impracticable.\n\nThe steps taken in Weihaiwei and Ceylon to abolish the use of opium may be stated as follows:- In 1909, the Commissioner of Weihaiwei, under the instructions of His Majesty's Government, promulgated an Ordinance regulating the traffic. By its provisions, no person may import, possess, sell, or buy any opium, whether prepared or raw, unless he is either a qualified medical man or chemist (in which case he is permitted to deal in opium for bona fide medicinal purposes), or a person who is licensed by a Government medical officer to smoke or otherwise use opium on the ground that deprivation of the drug would injure his health. Licensed consumers are registered, and, as they die out, the use of opium will gradually be abolished. The law further provided that no person might be licensed who was either not of full age or a woman, though the latter could obtain a licence by special sanction of the Commissioner.\n\nSuch an additional safeguard against the consumption of opium by persons hitherto unused to it was provided...",

The appliance was primarily fitted as a fire extinguisher but none of the Board's Officers were present at the demonstration and the Board have no information as to the efficiency of the system. They agree however with the statements in the letter from Dr. Stimpson and Mr. G.P. Jordan that careful operation of an appliance of the description is necessary.\n\nThe Board observe that Dr. Stimpson refers to the gas used as being carbon monoxide which is an explosive and poisonous gas whereas the gas referred to in the printed circulars is flue gas, chiefly carbonic acid gas together with a very small percentage of carbon monoxide.\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nColonial Office.",

In congestive fever I believe, the proximate cause is, \nin a great measure the want of balance in the circulation: \nthe blood being thrown in on the large vessels, overloading \nthe portal circulation, and oppressing the vital organs such \nas the heart, lungs and brain and preventing them from carrying \non the functions of life. Also I believe the blood becomes \ndeoxidized and overcharged with carbonic acid from the impure \nair in which the disease is contracted, hence acting as a \npoison on the nervous system.\n\nPage 41",

This disintegrated rock, on being cut into, was ready, when acted upon by the hot rays of the sun, at once to produce the poisonous vapor of osmic tetroxide. This is the cause of Hongkong fever, which poisons by entering the body with the air in breathing.\n\nHongkong 10th February 1908\n\nJ. GRANT SMITH.",

I have never seen you receive money although I knew you did receive it and sold stamps. You received money in cash to my knowledge. I did not know you did not apply it immediately.\n\nI should as a rule, see that stamps were affixed before I signed; but not always; I don't remember ever being told you had the cash or stamps would affix them afterwards.\n\nProbate file No. 75/13. I signed the papers on 15th February, 1913, without the stamp being on: I did this for convenience of the people: but I did not know you had the money but I do not know that I remember this case.\n\nI remember that there was a complaint about too much work in the office. I have a hazy recollection that you complained about having too much work and much delay in the way of the pauper estates. It was common knowledge that in many pauper cases there was much delay due to sureties not being satisfactory.\n\nI don't remember in the H. K. & S. B. case where there were $12 to pay you told me that you had the $12 and were going to return it pending the completion.\n\nMr. Charles Alexander Dick Melbourne: Deputy Registrar and Appraiser: since September, 1909: Mr. Alim Khan was there when I went. I was away on other duty all this year till August and practically all last year. I have dealt with Probate and Letters of Administration cases and they all passed through my hand. All pauper cases went to Mr. A. K. first and he, after getting permission, prepared the papers. There would be certain fees payable: I thought the shroff received the fees; I was unaware that Mr. A. Khan received cash. I didn't know how the stamps got on the documents. The shroff kept the stamps. Exhibit G: I cannot say if it is in the ordinary form.\n\nI believe I have signed documents without the stamps, but I should have asked Mr. Alim Khan (if he brought the papers) if the shroff had received the money for the stamps. Mr. Alim Khan was a good clerk.\n\nJ\n\nCross-\n\ni",

Mr. Jenkin required my services as an interpreter: and Mr. Nisbet told me to do it as my private business: I got $20: it was partially in office hours: it was a Court Martial case and the man came to see me about it and I introduced Mr. Mason to the case. I didn't keep the Native Officer waiting all day. I did not bring the Native Officer and another Sepoy over in the ferry with me: I don't know if they came over at the same time.\n\nI know you are paying certain instalments on judgments: but I did not know you had failed to pay them; nor did I hunt for the writs: nor did Mr. Leonard (the Bailiff) stop you from hunting amongst the Shroff's papers: nor did I get $5 for the work: I did not spread bad reports about him; not to Mr. Leonard or anyone else.\n\nI had not got permission to teach officers but I think Mr. Lesser",

I have nothing to suggest which might lead to greater rapidity except a further increase in staff to admit of the commencement of a proper triangulation of the Island. At present there is a mass of information in the office which will be useful for filling in details. This information consisting of traverse surveys, property plane &c., may be likened to a number of pieces of a puzzle which require to be fitted together on a frame. There is at present no reliable framework and many pisoms are missing. Until this triangulation or framework is undertaken and completed, the details or pieces cannot be fitted together. Existing maps of the Island cannot be regarded as sur- -Teys and even the large scale map of the City of Victoria is I am informed inaccurate and unreliable.\n\nI am aware that there is a general feeling that the work in this branch is very slow. In connection with thøis I would point out that survey work on this Island and in the New Territories presents many difficulties owing to the hilly and ragged nature of the country. There are also constant delays in outdoor work due to fogs, rains and heavy winds. For these reasons alone it is obvious that rapid work is out of the question.\n\nThe present Staff is, I understand, gradually over- -taking the arrears in work, but it will be some time before they",

So far as Sir Kai is concerned the question of salary is now gone and the benefit remaining for his family, if the scheme should materialise, will be the free share and the piece of land. But even if the scheme should become successful it would take at least two years before any result could be obtained, and, in the meantime, the question of how the family will be supported and the children educated becomes very serious. For the next few months, however, Sir Kai's family will be supported by the fund which was subscribed immediately after his death by Messrs. Au Tack, Cheung Sun Too, Chan Kang Yue and S.W.Tso who each contributed a sum of $750 for funeral and other immediate expenses. After this fund is exhausted I am afraid there will be very hard time in store for the family.\n\nAs to the house No.45B Robinson Road in which Sir Kai resided it was bought for $22,500, of which sum $10,000 belong to Madam Wu Ting Fang and $12,500 to Mr. Au Tack. No rent had been demanded from Sir Kai during his life time, and steps are being taken to ascertain whether Madam Wu will take up the whole house and allow Sir Kai's family to continue to reside there.\n\nThe above are the facts I have gathered, but before concluding this letter I feel I ought to make clear a certain remark addressed to me at Sir Kai's funeral, that is, that \"Sir Kai had money but lost it all through the Revolution in China\". First, Sir Kai never had at any time money to lose on anything as the facts above stated point to its impossibility. Secondly Sir Kai had, in all his life, been in favour of Reformation and not Revolution in China. His writings and publications testify to his principles. He gave his advice for the better government of China to anyone, whether a Manchurian Official or a Reformer or a Revolutionist, who approached him on the subject, but never received a cent from any one of them as fees, retainers, or otherwise, or derived any benefit directly or indirectly to himself or his family whatsoever.

Full text of Act follows by post. You will see that main object of the Act and Proclamation is to prevent transmission of money or the equivalent of money to hostile territory. It is not intended to restrict trading by enemy subjects resident or carrying on business in His Majesty's Dominions except in so far as necessary to attain this object and Government supervision will as a general rule only be exercised on the grounds and for the purposes indicated in Section 3 \"A\" and \"B\" of the Act. It has been found necessary however to treat enemy Banks in this country on a different footing and provision has been made in pursuance of Article i of Order-in-Council of August 10th see second supplement to London Gazette of August 7th and Article 24 of Order-in-Council September 9th see second supplement of London Gazette of September 8th issued under Aliens Restriction Act 1914 Circular Despatch August 29th to confine operations of such banks to those necessary for completion of transactions entered into before outbreak of war. Should you consider it expedient in the public interest to subject any class of business or any indivi-dual trader to special restrictions or supervision of this kind you should take special measures for the purpose and report by telegram measures taken and names of firms or traders affected. In other respects the policy of the trading with enemy act and proclamation should be observed and restrictions should not be imposed solely to prevent fair competition with British traders. Harcourt. Please repeat to Commissioner, Weihaiwei.\n\nYoung.\n\nPage 342",

I accidentally became aware that one of these\n\ntwo had been given some say five, some say six, days leave\n\nimmediately prior to the date her time expired. The other sister,\n\nalso who was in another hospital, he asked for leave, which I did\n\nnot grant, but at her request she was allowed to remain on to\n\nsuit herself until within a day or two of her marriage. These applications for leave immediately prior to the date on which\n\nthe terms of service expired were made at a time when an agitation-\n\nion was taking place to get the number of nurses increased.\n\n3d.

In the attached opinion of Mr. H. P. Wilkinson, a copy of which was enclosed in the letter of K.B.M's Consul at Kiungehow to the Colonial Secretary dated the 24th November, the view seems to be expressed that German and Austrian subjects trading in China bear an enemy character in respect of such trade. With the greatest respect to Mr. Wilkinson's opinion, in view both of his personal reputation and of his familiarity with exterritorial problems, this opinion, if correctly stated, seems difficult to reconcile with the definition of \"enemy\" in the Trading with Enemy Proclamation No. 2, and it does not seem to be in agreement with the enclosed Foreign Office notification. It is recognised of course that the position of the German and Austrian firms in China differs in practical ways from the position of German and Austrian firms in neutral states where exterritorial jurisdiction does not exist. The apparent divergence between Mr. Wilkinson's opinion and this notification is indeed my main reason for addressing you, as I am anxious to ascertain what is your present policy on this matter.\n\nI therefore have the honour to ask you if you will be good enough to inform me as to what view you take on the status of the German and Austrian firms in China, whether purely local or branches of firms in enemy territory.\n\nAt the same time I shall be very glad of any observations which you may care to make on the other matters referred to above.\n\nI have, etc.,\n\n(64.)

This will destroy not only the plague germ but also rats, fleas, bugs, and other agents capable of conveying the infection, and, moreover, does away with the irritating procedure of removing all the different effects and chattels of the natives elsewhere for disinfection, as everything is thus dealt with 'in situ'.",

It is a process of disinfection which will take the place of the older methods. In addition to sulphurous acid, every litre of the gas contains 6 2/10 milligrammes or over of Sulphuric anhydride against 1/10 of a milligramme contained in a litre of gas by burning sulphur in the open air under ordinary conditions; it contains other unstable compounds of sulphur and oxygen, the exact nature of which has not been determined. The fumigation attains the object in view, viz.: the disinfection of the house and the household effects, without having to supplement it with other modes of disinfection, and without having to remove anything from the house. It destroys the infection of plague on clothes, bedding, floor, or any part of the house that has been contaminated; it destroys the rats, fleas, bugs, or other insects that may be in the house, and if the fumigation is extended to the rat runs and the covered drains, it will destroy any infection that may be in these. Fumigation by a Clayton apparatus brought to the house simplifies the work of disinfection, while at the same time the operation is rendered more certain, more efficient, and safer to the disinfecting establishment. One pound of sulphur is used for every 400 cubic feet of space to be disinfected.\n\n\"The",

Wade to determine the efficiency of Clayton gas in disinfecting cargo in the holds of ships.\n\n\"The gas evolved appears to consist mainly of the residual nitrogen of the air and a small amount of unconsumed oxygen with sulphurous acid in varying amounts up to 15 per cent and a considerable amount of sulphuric acid in suspension, the presence of which makes the mixture white and opaque.\n\n102 Rats\n\n\"In various experiments in ships, it has been found that when the hold was empty, Plague and Cholera germs were destroyed after a few hours' exposure to an atmosphere containing about 5 per cent of SO2; they were readily killed in two hours, so also fleas and cockroaches with a uniform diffusion of not more than 0.5 per cent of SO2 through the hold of the ship.

Goucher was admitted into the Government Civil Hospital on March 8th., 1915, at 2.10 p.m. from Sheungshui Police Station, suffering from injuries inflicted by a tiger.\n\n**History.** While out with another European Constable tracking a tiger in the New Territory, they came upon it concealed in a bush. The tiger was frightened by a stone thrown into the bush and sprang on him, but he was able to fire off both barrels of a shot-gun and wound the beast. However, the tiger knocked him down, jumped on him and mauled him, and was frightened away by the other Constable firing off a revolver at him. Patient was then taken to the Police Station and soon after was attended by the Medical Officer, New Territory, who cleaned and bandaged the wounds and sent him on to Hospital.\n\n**On Admission.** He was suffering much from shock, and there had been a fair amount of oozing from the wounds. He was unable to keep down any nourishment, and was suffering from much pain, for which he was given injections of morphine.\n\n1. He had the following injuries:-\n   - Both bones of left forearm were broken in three places - above wrist, a little above that and below the elbow. There were lacerated wounds in connection with the sites of the break.\n   - Lacerations on upper arm (left).\n   - In the back about level of lat. lumbar spine there was a large lacerated wound ploughing up the mass of vertebral muscles.\n   - There were lacerations on left side of abdomen and chest, extensive but not deep.\n   - A small circular wound on left of 10th. dorsal spine which tracked up to left of neck. This was superficial and no foreign body could be felt.\n\nUnder an anaesthetic all these wounds were again cleansed, thoroughly swabbed with pure carbolic acid, and the forearm put into a weak Cyllin bath and continuously irrigated.",

If this is the view of His Majesty's Government, we consider it the more necessary to give expression to our views on this very important matter.\n\nTurning to the draft Agreement, I will now deal with the various articles seriatim, showing in what manner the Committee of the Chamber consider they conflict with our trading interests as ensured by the \"most favoured nation\" clause in our treaty with China.\n\n## Section 1\n\n### Article I\nThe special rights and privileges wrung from China by Germany, so far as the province of Shantung was concerned, were in many directions opposed to the treaty rights of other Powers and should not in equity be extended to Japan, but we realise that this may be a difficult question to raise in view of existing conditions and the manner in which the Government of Great Britain and Japan are at present associated. It must not be overlooked that Great Britain had a considerable share in the reduction of Tsingtau by the assistance of both her Navy and Army.\n\n### Article II\nThe insertion of the word \"Third\" in the last line of this article raises the unpleasant doubt as to whether, while China may not cede, or lease, territory to another Treaty Power, she may do so to Japan. This word, therefore, should be deleted, as we are of opinion it opens a very wide door to Japanese preferential treatment in China.\n\n### Article III\nThe right for the Japanese Government, of Government Nominees to construct this railway is a direct infringement of the doctrine of the \"open door\" and if granted will, in conjunction with Article I, mean the handing over of the foreign trade of one of the richest provinces of China to the Japanese.\n\n### Article IV\nShould China decide upon opening new Treaty Ports, this should be done of her own initiative, or in general consultation with the representatives of all the Treaty Powers. Should Japan be alone consulted, it is reasonable to suppose she will take advantage of the situation and arrange that she acquires the greater benefit of the new port to the detriment of other nationalities.",

It has been the practice to insert among the cargo a small cylinder of lead containing acid and powder; the acid and the powder are separated from one another by a diaphragm of zinc. The acid acts on the zinc and causes an explosion on coming into contact with the powder. In view of the possibility of the employment of similar methods elsewhere a warning should be issued to port authorities to pay particular attention to the bunkering and loading of all vessels the cargoes of which might invite incendiarism by the agents of the enemy.\n\n**BONAR LAW**",

According to estimation about 60 or 70, of which 15, arbitrarily selected by us as well as from the upper row as from the lower row, have been opened and minutely examined which appeared to contain nothing else but oil.\n* That also the store rooms have been examined, which appeared to contain the usual ship's necessities, such as cordage, paint and ship's provisions.\n* That the motor installed on board has two vertical cylinders, belongs to the so-called \"Hotbulb\" type, mark \"Skandia\", factory number 4760, and develops according to particulars 50 effective horsepowers by 375 revolutions; the reversing of the propeller is effected by means of a loose revolving gear; the aft cylinder is started with compressed air or gas, for which here on board carbonic acid is used; as a reserve a hand force pump for air is in stock.\n* The carbonic acid bottles (14 pieces) in stock were empty, reason why it was tried to obtain the necessary starting pressure by means of the hand pump. During 1 hour three men continually pumped but the pressure did not exceed 115 lbs. This pressure appeared, when making a new trial, too low and the pressure, on starting the motor, diminished to 80 lbs. in the starting tank.\n\nOn examining the aft cylinder the piston appearing to have a crack near the connecting rod pin or about 20 c.m. in circumference, which in cold condition showed in some places openings of about 0.7 m.M. A few centimeters lower down there is a crack of about 5 c.m. in length.",

It is a very easy matter for Germans to sow discontent among the watchmen class by bribing their employees as a preliminary and then getting them to disseminate sedition after. Captain Barrett, A.S.P. Shanghai, has been good enough to have the German Consulate watchmen watched and on four days other watchmen have gone there, four at a time on two occasions and they stayed just over a quarter of an hour and on odd numbers for five minutes, He has also had 12 Ferry Road, Consul Ney's old house, watched and people called in there but on isolated occasions. I have come to the conclusion that Pootoo is to be used as a distributing base for arms and ammunition for the use of Sikhs, or rather natives of India, to kick up trouble in Hong Kong, Singapore and India. I will give you a few points which lead me to suppose this. Arsenal here has been turning out about 25 rifles a day and I cannot for love or money find out where they have been going.\n\nThe Central and North China Press Packing Company, Carlowitz and Co., had a fire last week, and in the godown was over $100,000 worth of Salt Petre and some acid, which when it got water on it or flowed out of the godown cut a deep channel in the granite step of the godown. Salt Petre ought not to be stored in a godown within the Settlement without a licence, and Carlowitz and Co. had not procured one. The insurance on the building becomes invalidated over the storage of hazardous goods and I got Sir Everard Fraser to write to the Insurance Company about it. Carlowitz are also importing alcohol from Java on a large scale.",

Dane made similar arrangement: \n\nwith regard to the Salt receipts. In the latter case, the bargain \n\nwas that the prevines would receive its usual monthly subsidy from \n\nthis source so long as it respected the recognized claims of the \n\nCentral Government, \n\nTo prevent any misconception on the part of the \n\nrevolutionaries and correct the impression which they had apparent-\n\nly formed on the subject of foreign interference, I considered it \n\ndesirable to instruct Mr. Goffe, who was in close touch with the \n\nleaders of the movement, to warn then they were embarking on a \n\nfoolish enterprise and that they need expect no support or sympa-\n\nthy from w us or my other foreign Power. I also gave Mr. Goffe to understand that I would welcome any opportunity of arranging \n\na settlement and I thought that this message might perhaps have some weight with Tsai Ao with whom I have had social relations in Peking. To give it more force, Mr. Goffe was authorised to com-\n\nmanicate to the revolutionary leaders the substance of telegrame \n\nreceived from the consular officers in the adjoining provinces \n\nwhich went to show that their appeal to them had fallen on deaf eare and that the co-operation on which they had relied was not likely to be forthcoming. Tesi Ao and Li Lieh-chun, however, are past masters in the arts of revolution and were not amenable to advice from any quarter. On the last day of the year the two Governors of the province, acting under the pressure of their influence, notified His Majesty's Consul-General that Yunnan had declared its independence of the Central Government. They were good enough to add that they would respect existing Treaties and formally asked that His Majesty's Government and the Government of Burma should be notified of the step they had taken. \n\nThis notification was ignored and His Majesty'a Consul-General was instructed to maintain informal relations with any de facto Government with a view to the protection of British subjects and to keeping in touch with the situation generally, but he was warned carefully to avoid any action which might be constru-\n\ned as implying recognition of the change of regime.",

Indents have been minutely, I may almost say meticulously, examined, by the Assistant Colonial Secretary principally, amounts have been added and subtracted, totals have been checked; and in the result, not even a \"ridiculous mistake\" has emerged.\n\nThe following figures, however, regarding the principal reductions made by Dr. Johnson in the indent of the autumn of 1913, may be of interest to hon. members:\n\n| Article | Used in Amount | Average | Stock at Date of Indent | Amount asked for | Amount allowed by Dr. Johnson |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Boracic Acid | 1011, 1012, 1013 |  |  | 831 lbs. | 30 lbs. |\n| Ether |  |  |  | 2,060 | 2,500 | 1,500 |\n| Bismuth Salicylate |  |  |  | 4 | 96 | 0 |\n| Subnitrate |  |  |  | 0 | 0%. |\n| Potassium Iodide |  |  |  | 485 | 501 | 36 |\n| Quinine |  |  |  | 112 oz. |  |\n| Acid Acetosal (Aspirin) |  |  |  | 13 | 30 | 0 |\n| Creosote Carbonate |  |  |  | 7 | 14 | 0 |\n| Glycerine |  |  |  | 49 | 86 | 50 lbs. |\n| Migrainine |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Eucalyptus Oil |  |  |  | 27 | 54 | 0 |\n| Oleum Ric.

The hospital indents are all open to his scrutiny, if this will assist him. The reply then, of the Government, is that its minutest investigation has failed to reveal any sin or omission in the manner of the administration of the Civil Hospital drugs and disinfectants by Dr. Johnson; that, on the contrary, it is satisfied that Dr. Johnson has gradually succeeded in compelling systematic and efficient store administration in place of a lack of system little short of scandalous; that it is satisfied that, in any sense of ill-considered reduction, the stock of drugs and disinfectants kept in store at the Government Civil Hospital was not reduced by the present Principal Civil Medical Officer before the war.\n\n## Mr. Pollock's Questions\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY--I regret to inform the Hon. member (Mr. Pollock) that the time occupied in preparing the statement just read by His Excellency was so great that it has been impossible to complete the replies to the questions standing in the hon. member's name in the \"Orders of the Day.\" Some of them have been compiled, but it has been impossible to complete them.\n\nThe questions referred to were:\n\n1. Of the sums of $9,905, $10,147, and $9,714 stated at the last meeting of Council to have been expended in the years 1913, 1914, and 1915, respectively, will the Government state:\n(i) How much of that expenditure represents drugs and disinfectants:\n(a) supplied from home;\n(b) purchased locally?\n(ii) Whether it is not the fact that the price of drugs and disinfectants has gone up considerably since the beginning of the war, with the result that the same sum of money purchased considerably less drugs and disinfectants since the war than it did before the war? Whether any savings were effected on the amounts voted for drugs and disinfectants in the years 1914 and 1915 or either of them, and, if so, what were the amounts of such savings?\n(iii) ...\n\n2. With reference to the morning allocation of Sisters at the Civil Hospital which was announced by His Excellency the Governor at the Council Meeting of the 3rd August last, namely:-\nA Block. Morning, 1 Sister on each floor; Operating Theatre, 1 Sister; will the Government state:\n(i) On what dates between the 22nd August and the date of these Questions (12th October) it has been found possible to carry out the said intended morning scheme of allocation, namely, 1 Sister on each floor of A Block, and a separate Sister for the Operating Theatre; and\n(ii) On what dates, between the said dates, one Sister alone has had to attend in the morning not only to the two floors in A Block but also to the Operating Theatre as well, that is to say, to do work which, under the above scheme of allocation, is supposed to be done by three Sisters.\n\n## The Recent Petition\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK --Sir, I beg to give notice that I shall put the following questions at the next meeting of the Legislative Council, namely:-\n\n1. With reference to the following statements in paragraph 5 of the Despatch of H.E. The Governor, of the 26th May, 1916, to the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject of the recent Petition for greater representation of the public on the Executive and Legislative Councils, namely:-\"It is quite impracticable to apply the principle of election to appointments to a body like the Executive Council and it does not seem necessary to set out the very obvious reasons for which such a proposal could not be entertained\": Will the Government state what are the reasons why such a proposal could not be entertained?\n\n2. Will the Government also state for what reasons two out of the four non-Chinese Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council are Government nominees instead of being elected as Members?\n\n## The Budget\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY moved the first reading of a Bill intituled \"An Ordinance to apply a sum not exceeding eight millions six hundred and five thousand, one hundred and five dollars to the Public Service of the year 1917, for the following purposes:-\n\n| Expenditure |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Governor | $85,011 |\n| Colonial Secretary's Department and Legislature | 79,169 |\n| Colonial Secretary's Special Expenditure | 1,150 |\n| Secretariat for Chinese Affairs | 57,345 |\n| Audit Department | 35,294 |\n| Treasury | 67,460 |\n| Harbour Master's Department | 189,454 |\n| Harbour Master, Special Expenditure | 740 |\n| Imports and Exports Department | 977,999 |\n|  | 22,750 |\n|  | 6,100 |\n| Royal Observatory | 714,213 |\n| Royal Observatory, Special Expenditure | 272,478 |\n| Miscellaneous Services | 1,000,361 |\n| Judicial and Legal Depts. |  |\n| Police and Prison Departments | 381,899 |\n| Police and Prison Departments, Special Expenditure | 39,000 |\n| Medical Department | 51,338 |\n| Sanitary Department | 650 |\n| Sanitary Department, Special Expenditure | 338,011 |\n| Botanical and Forestry Dept. | 1,900 |\n| Botanical and Forestry Department, Special Expenditure | 70,152 |\n| Education | 464,981 |\n| Education, Special Expenditure | 589,200 |\n| Military Expenditure: Volunteers | 1,545,400 |\n| Public Works:- | 438,350 |\n| Public Works Dept. | 400 |\n| Public Works, Recurrent | 366,381 |\n| Public Works, Extraordinary | 158,896 |\n| Post Office | 340,700 |\n| Post Office, Special Expenditure | 44,159 |\n| Kowloon-Canton Railway: Working Expenses |  |\n| Special Expenditure |  |\n| Pensions |  |\n| Charitable Services |  |\n| Total | $8,605,105 |\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said:-Honourable Members of the Legislative Council.-I think that you will agree that the financial position disclosed by the Estimates before you must be regarded as eminently satisfactory. The assets and liabilities of the Colony at the end of the year 1915 were presented in a new form, and, as has been already pointed out, they are now on a cash basis. The result of abandoning the proposed loan of £250,000, which had appeared as an asset, and debiting...",

The reply then, of the Government, is that its minutest investigation has failed to reveal any sin of omission in the manner of the administration of the Civil Hospital drugs and disinfectants by Dr. Johnson; that on the contrary it is satisfied that Dr. Johnson has gradually succeeded in compelling systematic and efficient store administration in place of a lack of system little short of scandalous; that it is satisfied that, in any sense of ill-considered reduction, the stock of drugs and disinfectants kept in store at the Government Civil Hospital was not reduced by the present Principal Civil Medical Officer before the war.\n\n## Mr. Pollock's Questions\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY - I regret to inform the Hon. member (Mr. Pollock) that the time occupied in preparing the statement just read by His Excellency was so great that it has been impossible to complete the replies to the questions standing in the Hon. member's name in the Orders of the Day. Some of them have been compiled, but it has been impossible to complete them.\n\nThe questions referred to were:\n\n1. Of the sums of $9,905, $10,147, and $9,714 stated at the last meeting of Council to have been expended in the years 1913, 1914 and 1915, respectively, will the Government state \n    (i) How much of that expenditure represents drugs and disinfectants. (a) supplied from home; (b) purchased locally? \n    (ii) Whether it is not the fact that the price of drugs and disinfectants has gone up considerably since the beginning of the war, with the result that the same sum of money purchased considerably less drugs and disinfectants since the war than it did before the war?\n    (iii) Whether any savings were effected on the amounts voted for drugs and disinfectants in the years 1914 and 1915 or either of them, and, if so, what were the amounts of such savings?\n\n2. With reference to the morning allocation of Sisters at the Civil Hospital which was announced by His Excellency the Governor at the Council Meeting of the 3rd August last, namely:-\n    A Block. Morning, 1 Sister on each floor; Operating Theatre, 1 Sister; will the Government state \n    (I) On what dates between the 22nd August and the date of these Questions (12th October) it has been found possible to carry out the said intended morning scheme of allocation, namely, 1 Sister on each floor of A Block, and a separate Sister for the Operating Theatre; and \n    (II) On what dates, between the said dates, one Sister alone has had to attend in the morning not only to the two floors in A Block but also to the Operating Theatre as well, that is to say, to do work which, under the above scheme of allocation, is supposed to be done by three Sisters.\n\n## The Recent Petition\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK - Sir, I beg to give notice that I shall put the following questions at the next meeting of the Legislative Council, namely:-\n\n1. With reference to the following statements in paragraph 5 of the Despatch of H. E. The Governor, of the 28th May, 1918, to the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject of the recent Petition for greater representation of the public on the Executive and Legislative Councils, namely: \"It is quite impracticable to apply the principle of election to appointments to a body like the Executive Council and it does not seem necessary to set out the very obvious reasons for which such a proposal could not be entertained\"; Will the Government state what are the reasons why such a proposal could not be entertained?\n\n2. Will the Government also state for what reasons two out of the four non-Chinese Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council are Government nominees instead of being elected as Members?\n\n## The Budget\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY moved the first reading of a Bill intituled \"An Ordinance to apply a sum not exceeding eight millions six hundred and five thousand, one hundred and five dollars to the Public Service of the year 1917, for the following purposes:-\n\n| Expenditure | $ |\n| --- | --- |\n| Governor | 85,011 |\n| Colonial Secretary's Department and Legislature | 79,169 |\n| Colonial Secretary's Special | 1,130 |\n| Secretariat for Chinese Affairs | 57,345 |\n| Audit Department | 35,294 |\n| Treasury | 87,460 |\n| Harbour Master's Department | 189,454 |\n| Harbour Master, Special Expenditure | 740 |\n| Imports and Exports Department | 977,999 |\n| Royal Observatory | 2,750 |\n| Royal Observatory, Special Expenditure | 6,100 |\n| Miscellaneous Services | 714,213 |\n| Judicial and Legal Depts. | 272,478 |\n| Police and Prison Departments | 1,000,361 |\n| Police and Prison Departments, Special Expenditure |  |\n| Medical Department | 134 |\n| Sanitary Department | 264,000 |\n| Sanitary Department, Special Expenditure | 381,899 |\n| Botanical and Forestry Dept. | 39,000 |\n| Botanical and Forestry Department, Special Expenditure | 51,338 |\n| Education | 650 |\n| Education, Special Expenditure | 339,011 |\n| Military Expenditure:- Volunteers | 1,900 |\n| Public Works:- | 70,152 |\n| Public Works Dept. | 464,981 |\n| Public Works, Recurrent | 589,200 |\n| Public Works, Extraordinary | 1,545,400 |\n| Post Office | 438,350 |\n| Post Office, Special Expenditure | 400 |\n| Kowloon-Canton Railway: Working Expenses | 366,381 |\n| Special Expenditure | 158,896 |\n| Pensions | 340,700 |\n| Charitable Services | 44,259 |\n| Total | $8,605,105 |\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said:- Honourable Members of the Legislative Council,- I think that you will agree that the financial position disclosed by the Estimates before you must be regarded as eminently satisfactory.

Exper. Med., 1913 Vol. XVII, page 553) in these words: \"It is our belief that the analysis of histories of cases of epidemic meningitis which have been presented, furnish convincing proof that the antimeningococcic serum, when used by the subdural method of injection, in suitable doses and at proper intervals, is capable of reducing the period of illness; of preventing, in large measure, chronic lesions and types of the infection; of bringing about complete restoration to health, in all but a very small number of the recovered, thus lessening the serious, deforming and permanent consequences of meningitis, and of greatly diminishing the fatalities due to the disease.\"\n\n### A\n\nNotwithstanding these facts, it appears that only very few of the great numbers of Chinese received serum treatment.

During the investigations extended from March 11th to May 13th and included cultural examinations of contacts with patients for the presence of the meningococcus in the nasopharynx. It appears that the work was very carefully done; only a few cultures were examined at a time and all plate cultures contaminated with saliva were discarded. The criteria for recognition of the meningococcus were (1) typical colony morphology; (2) absence of pigment; (3) acid production in dextrose and maltose and not in saccharose medium; (4) typical morphology by Gram's stain; (5) ready emulsification of the growth on subcultures. No agglutination tests were made, however. Sheep-serum water (1 part to 2 parts water) with 20 percent agar was used for the plate cultures.\n\nIn examining contacts of several patients, they found that:\n| Ethnicity | Number Examined | Number of Carriers | Percentage |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Europeans | 71 | 7 | 9.8% |\n| Chinese | 133 | 9 | 6.7% |\n| Total | 204 | 16 | 7.8% |\n\nThis is on the basis of a single examination.\n\nThe ratio of incidents of meningitis amongst the Europeans to the white population is as 1:1250; in the case of the Chinese to the coloured population as 1:509. These cultures were taken at the height of the epidemic, but the number of contact carriers in both series are lower than is usually the case. One deduction, however, can be made, namely, that carriers are more prevalent among the Europeans, notwithstanding the fact that fewer were afflicted.\n\n## Noncontact Carriers\n\nAs no opportunity presented itself to continue the study of noncontact carriers, my attention...\n\nThe Hongkong Blue Book for 1917: white population 50,000; Chinese 530,100.

The Director of the War Trade Department notifies exporters and others concerned of the following arrangements made to facilitate the export of samples of prohibited goods without Privy Council Licence.\n\nIt must be clearly understood that only genuine samples which are being sent abroad for the purpose of introducing goods to, and obtaining orders from, Colonial and Foreign buyers, may be exported without licence under these arrangements, and that samples so sent must not be sold even after they have served their purpose as samples without the prior consent in writing of the War Trade Department.\n\nAdvance deliveries of goods already ordered are not regarded as samples within the meaning of this notice, and may only be exported to prohibited destinations under the authority of a Privy Council licence.\n\nParticular attention is drawn to the following exceptions to the general rules: \n(1) Samples of the goods specified in the list in paragraph 4 (a) of this notice are entirely excluded from these arrangements; and \n(2) Samples of the goods specified in the list in paragraph 4 (b) may not be exported to prohibited destinations by parcel post or by shipment unless and until a Privy Council licence has been obtained.\n\n### 2-SAMPLES BY POST\n\n**(a) Samples of no commercial value may be exported in the ordinary course of trade:**\n\n(i) By sample post without Privy Council Licence and without Chamber of Commerce Certificate, provided the postal regulations are duly observed.\n\nNOTE: This regulation does not apply to samples of the goods mentioned in paragraph 4 (a), even though such samples have no commercial value. Particular attention is drawn to the necessity of enclosing with samples of Steel articles tendered for export, by sample post, a Steel exemption certificate from the Cutlers' Hall, or one of the Chambers of Commerce mentioned in paragraph 4 (2).\n\n(ii) By parcel post without Privy Council licence (provided the parcel is marked \"Samples without value\") on production with the parcel at the office of posting of a certificate from a British Chamber of Commerce in the following terms:  \n\"I hereby certify that the goods contained in the parcel to which these particulars relate consist solely of samples which, to the best of my knowledge and belief, are of no commercial value.\"\n\nNOTE: This certificate will be endorsed by the Chamber on the appropriate Customs declaration form after the exporter has duly made the special declaration (D) referred to in (iii) below.\n\n(iii) A declaration (D) in the following terms must be made by the sender on the Customs declaration form (Post Office Form P.P. 21) in lieu of the ordinary declaration printed on that form:  \n\"I hereby declare that the above particulars are correct and that the parcel to which this declaration relates does not contain any goods by law prohibited to be exported from the United Kingdom to the destination named, other than the goods stated above, which are samples of no commercial value, and I further declare that the ultimate destination of the goods is......\"\n\n**(b) Samples possessing a commercial value:**  \n(i) Those may be exported by parcel post without Privy Council Licence provided the sender obtains from a British Chamber of Commerce a certificate on the appropriate form (see paragraph 8 below), having first given to the responsible officer of the Chamber the undertaking on that form.\n\n(ii) A further declaration (E) in the following terms must also be made by the sender on the Customs declaration form (Post Office Form P.P. 21) in lieu of the ordinary declaration printed on that form:  \n\"I hereby declare that the above particulars are correct and that the parcel to which this declaration relates contains only commercial samples, and that such samples are covered by a certificate issued by the... Chamber of Commerce, dated........, and I further declare that the ultimate destination of the goods is....\"\n\n(iii) The certificate issued by the Chamber of Commerce in accordance with (i) above, must, in the case of mails for America and the West Coast of Africa, be posted direct by the sender of the parcel to:  \nThe Surveyor,  \nH.M. Customs and Excise,  \nParcel Post Depot, Renshaw Street,  \nLiverpool.\n\nand in the case of all other Foreign and Colonial mails, to:  \nThe Surveyor,  \nH.M. Customs and Excise,  \nParcel Post Depot, Mount Pleasant,  \nLondon, E.C. 1.\n\n### 3. SAMPLES BY SHIPMENT\n\n**(a) Samples of no commercial value:**  \n(i) May be taken abroad in the luggage of commercial travellers without Privy Council licence or Chamber of Commerce certificate, provided that the goods are duly produced to the Officers of Customs at the port of shipment, and are declared in the relative Customs export documents to be of no commercial value, and that all required proof that the declaration is true is duly given to the satisfaction of the Officers of Customs.\n\n(ii) May be shipped to travellers, agents or prospective buyers abroad without Privy Council licence provided that they are duly entered in accordance with regulations, and are produced to the Officers of Customs at the port of shipment, and that the relative export documents bear a certificate from a British Chamber of Commerce in the following terms:  \n\"I hereby certify that the goods contained in the parcel to which these particulars relate consist solely of samples which, to the best of my commercial knowledge and belief, are of no value.\"\n\nNOTE: If so desired, a certificate on the appropriate form mentioned at 2 (b) (i) may be produced in lieu of that indicated above.\n\n**(b) Samples of commercial value** may be taken abroad in the baggage of commercial travellers, or may be shipped to travellers' agents or prospective buyers abroad, without Privy Council licence, provided:  \n(i) They are accompanied by a certificate in the approved form given by a British Chamber of Commerce.  \n(ii) They are duly produced to the Customs Officers at the time of exportation; and  \n(iii) All necessary Customs entries are passed prior to exportation.\n\n### 4. PROHIBITED GOODS EXCLUDED FROM PRIVILEGE OF EXPORTATION WITHOUT LICENCE\n\n**(a) The following goods are excluded entirely from this arrangement, and samples of such goods, whether possessing a commercial value or not, may not be exported to prohibited destinations even by sample post, unless a Privy Council licence has been obtained for them:**\n\n- (B) Cobalt, cobalt ore, and alloys of cobalt.\n- (A) Gramophone and other sound records, including perforated music rolls.\n- (B) Iridium and its alloys and manufactures containing iridium.\n- (B) Maps and plans of any place within the territory of any belligerent or within the area of military operations on a scale of four miles to one inch, or any larger scale, and reproductions on any scale by photography or otherwise of such maps or plans.\n- (B) Molybdenum and molybdenite.\n- (B) Osmium and its alloys, and manufactures containing osmium.\n- (B) Palladium and its alloys and manufactures containing palladium.\n- (A) Photographic materials, sensitised, of all kinds, whether exposed or not.\n- (A) Platinum, alloys of platinum and manufactures containing platinum.\n- (B) Rhodium and its alloys and manufactures containing Rhodium.\n- (B) Ruthenium and its alloys and manufactures containing Ruthenium.\n- (B) Selenium.\n- (A) Steel containing tungsten or molybdenum, and any tools or other articles made from such steel.\n- (A) Steel and steel articles containing chrome, cobalt, nickel or vanadium.\n- Sodium cyanide, and mixtures containing sodium cyanide.\n- *Nuts.*\n- Sodium prussiates and mixtures containing sodium prussiates.\n- Oilcloth.\n- Sodium Salicylate and its preparations.\n- Sodium sulphide.\n- Spent oxide.\n- Spirits, methylated, and mixtures containing methylated spirits.\n- Salt.\n- Sewing machines.\n- Spirits of a strength of not less than 43 degrees above proof.\n- Strontium compounds and mixtures containing strontium compounds.\n- Sulphur and preparations containing sulphur.\n- Sulphur, chlorides of.\n- Sulphur dioxide liquefied.\n- Sulphuric acid, and mixtures containing sulphuric acid.\n- Sulphuric acid, fuming (oleum).\n- Surgical bandages and dressings.\n- Tar, wood.\n- Terebene, and articles containing terebene.\n- Theobromine sodium salicylate.\n- Tin, chlorides of.\n- Titanium compounds.\n- Toluol and its compounds and preparations.\n- Tungsten compounds.\n- Urea and its compounds.\n- Xylol and its compounds and preparations.\n- Zinc chloride and sulphate and mixtures containing zinc chloride or sulphate.",

Only one of these has been surveyed for quantity and that one contains some five million tons of high grade magnetite. The smelting of iron in Hongkong will of course be dependent upon cheap coke, which is not an impossibility of the near future. I can inform you that investigation is being made of the advisability of starting such an undertaking by persons amply independent of outside financial assistance.\n\nWe have located four deposits of wolfram for which mining licences have been granted or are under consideration. From those we have worked we have extracted approximately sixty tons of ore average sixty five percent tungstic acid since the beginning of our operations last January. While this tonnage may sound inconsiderable it must be remembered that this return is only the result of development work. We are now producing at the rate of eight tons per month which is equivalent to more than one quarter of the production in England.\n\nAs an associated mineral we are getting some bismuth and some molybdenite but the amounts are not yet worth recording.\n\nWe are working on a placer tin proposition near Un Long from which we have extracted approximately one ton of concentrates containing seventy percent metallic tin; but",

C.\n\nSuch substances as Moissan has shown (Comptes Rendus, 6 Dec. 1892) that the smoke of good opium extract of chandoo contained only a very small quantity of morphine and pleasant odorous substances, and that the smoke of chandoo of indifferent quality contained pyrrole, acetone, and hydropyridic bases. In the 1908 report of the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States Opium Commission, Appendices XXIII and XXIV, are two papers on the chemistry of opium smoke. F. Dent found that the smoke from 100 grams of chandoo yielded 0.100 gram of morphine, and H. Fraser and B. J. Caton obtained an almost identical result.\n\nAs gross opium extract is very largely smoked in the East, it seemed to be desirable to ascertain in more detail the nature of its smoke, and attention was directed to the estimation of the carbon monoxide, hydrocyanic acid, ammonia, pyridine bases, and morphine contained therein. Gross opium extract is prepared by boiling together opium dross or residues from the smoking of chandoo, hálán or residues from the smoking of ching ko or demorphinated opium, and a small quantity of dross opium extract, filtering, and evaporating the filtrate to a proper consistence.\n\nOf the dross opium extract, 29.5 grams, prepared for smoking by a Chinese conversant with the \"melts,\" was placed in a retort. The retort was filled with a cork connected to a tubulus.",

This together with the force pump enabled a smoke to be produced of the nature and appearance of that obtained by smoking opium in the usual way with the pipe. \n\nThe retort was heated in a bath of fused potassium nitrate. The smoke at first evolved had the fragrant odour of burning chandoo. As greater heat was applied the odour gradually changed to one much resembling a foul tobacco pipe. When the temperature of the bath indicated 400°C the opium seemed to be exhausted, and but little smoke thereafter came over. The weight of halán obtained was 18.0 grams. This halán was found to be free from alkaloid. The purified gas in the aspirator had a benzene-like odour, resembling coal-gas.

The acid solution was made alkaline and the pyridine and ammonia distilled off with steam from the morphine remaining in the receiver containing acetic acid. The distillate was again subjected to steam distillation to remove the pyridine bases from the acetate, the distillation being continued until a drop or two of the distillate, warmed with potash solution, ceased to evolve the odour of pyridine. This last distillate was then rendered alkaline, and the pyridine bases distilled off, and estimated by N sulphuric acid solution, and methyl orange. In order to observe the general nature of these pyridine bases, a portion of the solution not required for the titration was treated with platinum perchloride.

The mixture of platinum salts treated with potassium hydrate evolved a powerful odour of pyridine, which united with vapour of hydrochloric acid to form white fumes. The ammonium acetate in the retort was estimated in the usual way after alkalisation by distilling into 50cc of N sulphuric acid solution. \n\nExperiment had shown that 10cc of morphine solution (the hydrochloride dissolved in water so as to have 0.001 gram of morphine in 1cc), 80cc of water, and 10cc of 25 per cent sodium hydrate aqueous solution, could be subjected to steam distillation without the loss of any morphine, alkaloid being indicated by iodic acid and ammonia in the distillate, and that in the retort by the same test being found to be undiminished in amount. Therefore in the opium smoke experiment the morphine was separated from the original retort contents (from which it has been shown the pyridine bases and ammonia had been removed) by shaking with amyl alcohol, passing into acid water, and estimating with iodic acid and ammonia. This method (George - Analyst 1906 p265) of determining small quantities of morphine in a complex mixture has been found to be trustworthy. \n\nWhen the solution under examination contains other substances such as sodium chloride, sulphate, hydrochloric or sulphuric acid, it is essential in quantitative experiments for the control solution to have the same quantity of these substances.",

The method has the advantage of being also a good test for the identification of morphine. It was supplemented in these experiments by the ferric chloride and potassium ferricyanide test.\n\nThe other half of the mixture containing morphine, pyridine bases, and ammonia, was then examined directly for morphine by shaking out with amyl alcohol and estimating as before. Thus the alkaloid was determined in duplicate as a knowledge of the amount of this substance in opium smoke is of considerable importance. Although the third bottle of acid absorbent contained no alkaloid, it was resolved to ascertain the amounts of pyridine bases and ammonia in order to see how effectual the absorption had been. From the results, it will be seen that the amounts so obtained were very small.\n\nThe hydrocyanic acid in the two bottles of alkaline absorbent was distilled after acidification into sodium hydrate solution and determined volumetrically by silver nitrate solution.\n\nThe following were the results calculated in percentages of the original extract:\n1. Carbon monoxide - none.\n2. The pyridine bases calculated as pyridine amounted to 0.139 gram, to which must be added 0.008 gram resulting from estimation of the contents of the third bottle.",

Smith with taking a girl to Bangkok against her will, for immoral purposes in June, 1919. Mr. S.B. McElderry of the Secretariat appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. A.E. Hall for the defence.\n\nCross-examined by Mr. Hall, Mr. McElderry said the defendant told him that two women were the traffickers, but the girl emphasised that it was the man who kidnapped her who took her to Bangkok.\n\nThe girl said that in June, she worked for a family at Canton as a servant. A week after she had assumed work, her mistress told her that she intended to visit her husband, who was a goldsmith in Hong Kong, and suggested that she should accompany her. They put up at a boarding-house in Hong Kong, and one day she saw her mistress receiving $300 from the defendant.\n\nIn the afternoon, her mistress disappeared, and the defendant told her that he had purchased her and would take her to Bangkok.\n\nShe remonstrated with him, and he gave her a flogging. She was eventually taken on board the S.S. Chusang and imprisoned with other girls in a cabin. The defendant was also on board, giving her no food till the ship arrived at Swatow.\n\nThe case was adjourned.",

Mr. McElderry of the S.C.A's office prosecuted.\n\nThe complainant stated that on August 7th she bought a girl as daughter from the second defendant. She paid $120. A deed was executed, and it was signed by both the defendants, the first being the go-between. Witness was told that the girl was the daughter of second defendant's older sister, and that she had lost both of her parents. Finally, she was persuaded by the defendants to have her as a bought daughter. The second defendant then said that the girl was sensible, and if she turned bad, she would hand her back the money.

        "content_text": "# Japan's Interests in China\n\n## Japan: Coal and Iron Production\n\nUnder Japanese management, coal production in China was significant. Mines under Japanese management were responsible for nearly 3,500,000 tons, and Japanese mines in Shantung produced 1,000,000 tons, while those in Kiangsi produced 500,000 tons. Important coal and iron concessions in nine places in Manchuria were secured under the 1915 treaty with China.\n\n## Japan: Trade with China\n\nOf Chinese exports, next to silk, the most valuable are beancake (44,000,000 taels in 1919) and raw cotton (30,000,000 taels in 1919); both of these are almost entirely taken up by Japan. Japan also took in 1919 about one-third of the export of flour and one-half of the export of wheat. Japan, therefore, in 1919 was the principal purchaser of Chinese produce.\n\nThe principal imports into China are cotton goods and cotton yarns. Japan provided over a third (value 30,000,000 taels). The exact import of Japanese cotton goods into China is difficult to estimate, but out of a total cotton import (including yarns) of 210,000,000 taels, the Japanese share cannot be less than one-third. Japan in 1919 was the principal provider of foreign imports.\n\nThe boycott of 1919, according to the figures given by the Imperial Maritime Customs, did not have nearly so serious an effect on Japanese trade as had been expected. China is too dependent on Japan to boycott her goods effectively; and too many Chinese ports are in Japanese hands. Appendix XV shows the steady increase of the trade of those ports which chiefly handle Japanese goods, viz.: Dairen, Antung, and Kiaochow (Tsingtao).\n\n## Japan: Railways\n\nThe railways in Japanese control are principally to be found in the \"special spheres\" of South Manchuria and Shantung. In South Manchuria, Japan has some 850 miles in operation, some 580 miles under construction, and some 900 miles projected under concession. In Shantung, Japan has the Tsingtao-Tsinan railway (510 miles), with concessions for 430 miles more. The Japanese also have a financial hold over the Kiukiang-Nanchang railway (86 miles) in the Yang-tsze valley, with a promise of the support of Great Britain in obtaining a continuation of the line to Foochow, and a Japanese loan has been advanced to the Peking-Suiyuan railway (266 miles), which for many years had been China's pride as her one purely national railway.\n\n## Japan: Propaganda\n\nIn the Twenty-One Demands, an attempt was made to secure for Japanese Buddhist missionaries a footing in China like that allowed to Christian missions; this demand, however, was shelved. Mr. Carl Crow's Memorandum (see `Confidential Print 151232` of the 12th November, 1919) shows how persistent and widespread is Japanese newspaper propaganda in China. These Japanese-controlled newspapers have been consistently and vituperously anti-British. A Japanese propaganda society runs a school at Shanghai for teaching Chinese language and customs to Japanese, and for teaching Japanese to Chinese students. Another propaganda society runs three or four Japanese hospitals in China.\n\n## Japan: Industries - Manchuria\n\nSimilarly, with Japan's industrial interests in China, they are centred chiefly at Dairen, Mukden, and Tsingtao. At Dairen, there is the Kawasaki dockyard and four ironworks, six bean-oil and cake mills, factories for sulphuric acid and dye stuffs, seven brick works, one cement works, one rice mill, one bone-dust mill, three soap (bean-oil) works, two salt works, one tile factory, one ice factory, one cold storage works, &c., all in Japanese hands. At Mukden, there are two woollen-yarn and weaving mills, oil mills, saw mills, and rice mills, a sugar refinery, chemical works, glass factories, match factories, and candle factories, under Japanese or under joint Sino-Japanese control. There are two tobacco factories of the To-A Tobacco Company at Mukden and at Ewchwang. At Harbin, in the Russian sphere of North Manchuria, there is at least one Japanese flour mill, and the Japanese Government have installed a commercial museum as general headquarters for their commercial offensive. There are electric light works, Japanese and Sino-Japanese, throughout South Manchuria, which is certainly the province of China best equipped with modern conveniences. There is the important Penhsifu coalfield and ironworks managed by Okura and Co., and there are the numerous undertakings of the South Manchurian railway, which include the Fushun and Yentai coal mines, the Anshantien iron mines and foundry, harbour, gas, electricity works, glass works, tile factory, hotels, schools, hospitals, &c. Important companies have been recently floated in Japan (1) to develop cattle-raising in Manchuria and Mongolia, (2) for rice cultivation in Manchuria. A Japanese authority values Japanese interests in South Manchuria at £30,000,000.\n\n## Japan: Industries - Shantung\n\nAt Tsingtao, the Japanese have taken over from the Germans their brewery, railway repair shop, shipyard, cotton-spinning mill, silk filature, flour mill, and salt works (this salt industry is expanding rapidly, and the Japanese set great store by it). They also have two match factories, tanneries, four oil refineries, two albumen factories, two canneries, an ice factory, a glass factory, a lumber mill, brick and tile factories, a cement and coke works, a glycerine factory, two soap factories, a rice mill, and smelting works. According to a United States of America commercial handbook, 1919, Japanese capitalists seem to be inaugurating a vigorous development of the manufacturing possibilities in Tsingtao, chiefly along the lines indicated above, raw materials for such enterprises being obtainable both cheaply and abundantly in the hinterland of the leased territory. No less than five new cotton-spinning mills, with 155,000 spindles, have been projected by Japanese companies in order to make Tsingtao one of the centres of this great new industry of China. Ironworks are projected at Chin-Ling-Chen, 180 miles from Tsingtao; and coal mines have been acquired at various points in Shantung. Japanese undertakings (two glass factories and an albumen factory) have been started at Tsinan, the capital of Shantung.\n\nIt is not difficult to foresee in these activities the formation in Shantung of a second Japanese enclave like South Manchuria.\n\nElsewhere than in these protected spheres, Japanese industrial enterprise is less to the fore. However, in Shanghai, the Japanese have obtained control of at least three cotton mills, one flour mill, and one paper mill. At Hankow, they have, through loans and through the 1915 treaty with China, acquired a preponderant interest in the great undertakings of the Han-Yeh-Ping Company, which is the overshadowing industrial concern of Hankow (see `Appendix I`). At Tien-tsin, they have a cigarette factory, an oil mill, a flour mill, and an ironworks.\n\n## Japan: Population, Special Rights, &c.\n\nIt may be added that the Japanese population in China is given by the Maritime Customs as 171,485; of these, about 75,000 are in South Manchuria and about 65,000 in the Kwantung Peninsula. The Japanese population of Shantung is over 25,000, of whom about 20,000 are in Tsingtao itself. There are probably some 10,000 Japanese in Shanghai. The Japanese have thirty-two consulates in China and fifty-three post offices. They own residential concessions at Hankow, Tien-tsin, and Amoy, and settlements at Chungking, Hangchow, and Soochow. They maintain a large force of railway guards along the South Manchurian railway and in Shantung, and a garrison of about 1,000 men in Hankow. By the treaty of 1915, they acquired exclusive rights for residence in South Manchuria, and for industrial and agricultural undertakings in Eastern Inner Mongolia, with extra-territorial privileges.\n\n## Japan: Formosa and Fukien\n\nFinally, the great and rich island of Formosa should not be lost sight of, which Japan took from China as a result of the war of 1894. It has an area of 13,839 square miles, a population of 3,600,000, and an import and export trade (1918) of £25,000,000. It is peculiarly rich in sugar, tea, rice, camphor, coal, and other minerals, including petroleum. After the acquisition of Formosa, the attention of Japan was first attracted towards expansion in China, and her first attempt to carve out a sphere of influence was in the direction of Fukien. In 1898, China gave Japan an assurance of non-alienation of this province. But after the Russo-Japanese war, Japanese development in Korea and Manchuria began. The Fukien sphere has been left in abeyance, but it has by no means been forgotten.\n\n## Japanese and British in the Yang-tsze Valley\n\nJapanese competition has established itself practically to the exclusion of all other in the spheres of South Manchuria and Shantung, where Japanese interests are paramount. In the Yang-tsze valley, it meets the competition of other nations on equal terms. For a full and interesting investigation of the question, Sir J. Jordan's ...",

In the same report, the average consumption per male adult Chinese over 15 years of age is estimated at 47.9 chees per head. It is difficult to understand why, in taking the average, the age taken is that of \"over 15 years of age,\" when the sale of chandu is forbidden to any but Chinese males over 21 years of age. No person below the age of 16 may enter the public smoking rooms, but the entry of Chinese males between the ages of 16 and 21 does not carry permission to purchase chandu. If the average were taken on the basis of Chinese over 21 years of age, the amount estimated of consumption would necessarily be above that of 47.9 chees per head. Does the Governor of Singapore mean that all the Chinese over 21 years of age smoke opium? If so, the evil is greater than had been imagined. Whether or not this be so, apparently the Government is prepared to supply opium to all adult male Chinese in the Malay States, and the amount anyone may possess of chandu, except under licence, is 74 tahils, or 10 ounces. It would therefore be possible for any adult male Chinese to possess at any time far more opium than even the most infatuated smoker would consume in one day, and thus, provided he has the money to make the purchase, any adult male Chinese can gratify his craving to whatever extent he pleases. The high price of chandu is supposed to be a means of decreasing the extension of the habit, making it rather a luxury for the rich than a possibility for all, but this seems inconsistent with the recommendation of the committee for abolishing the use of opium, since they assert (p. 13) that prohibition would have a very detrimental effect on the labour force, from which it is evident that opium is supplied at a price which makes possible its purchase by the labourer. With regard to British Malaya, then, the Government has a monopoly of the sale of opium, and apparently furnishes sufficient for the free indulgence of opium smoking of the whole Chinese adult male population, rich and poor.\n\nConcerning Hong Kong, the report of the Superintendent of Imports and Exports at Hong Kong for the year 1919 gives the following figures:\n\n| Category | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| Stock on the 1st January, 1919 | 253 chests |\n| Imported during the year | 1,290 |\n\nOf these chests, 377 were boiled by Government monopoly, 376 chests were sent to Keelung, Formosa, and 374 chests were sent to Macao. Of the chests sent to Formosa, it may be surmised that the greater portion of the opium was manufactured into morphia, and that either as morphia or opium, the ultimate destination of most of it would be China. With regard to the opium sent to Macao, the letter from Mr. Claud Severn to Viscount Milner mentions a case in which 153,600 taels of opium, professedly shipped for Chile on the steamship \"Amherst,\" were disposed of in some surreptitious way, that is, it must have been ultimately smuggled into China, or some other place in the Far East. Thus, out of 1,543 chests, 750 were not used in Hong Kong, and a large proportion of them were disposed of by illicit trade.\n\nThese facts do not seem consistent with the statement that the Governments of Hong Kong and British Malaya are carrying out the aims of The Hague Convention. Viscount Milner expresses the opinion that the letters of Mr. James and Mr. Severn \"will convince any impartial tribunal that the terms of The Hague Convention are being fully and conscientiously complied with by the Governments of British Malaya and Hong Kong,\" but with due respect to the opinion of Lord Milner, the board of directors cannot but feel that the publication of these facts would lead to a different opinion in the minds of all impartial observers.\n\n## 2. \nIn addition to the legitimate trade, the letters and reports recognise a very extensive trade in smuggling. Concerning this, Mr. James writes: \"I consider it is not unlikely that, if the licit trade in opium were abolished, all efforts to cope with the menace of opium smuggling and the use of deleterious drugs must prove abortive until such time as the production of opium and the manufacture of such derivatives as morphia and cocaine are so controlled in all producing countries as strictly to correspond with what the world actually requires for medical and legitimate purposes.\" Also, in the report attached to Mr. James's letter and signed A. R. Chancellor, D. Beatty, and G. Gordon Wilson, we find: \"So long as the poppy is cultivated in countries from which there is easy sea communication with the Straits, such as India, Persia, and China, there will always be the temptation to smuggle the product of the plant if the profit to be obtained is sufficiently lucrative.\"\n\nFurther, Mr. Claud Severn quotes the opinion of Messrs. Alfred Holt and Co., who say that: \"So long as it is possible for the principals in England to acquire large quantities of opium for export, so long will it be possible for small parcels to be smuggled. So long as opium can thus be sold wholesale in this country, so long will the joint operation of laxity in the United Kingdom and severity abroad make illicit traffic easy and profitable. Messrs. Alfred Holt and Co. would therefore urge upon His Majesty's Government the necessity of altering the law, so that the contraband trade may be stopped in its early stages.\" Mr. Severn also remarks: \"I have endeavoured to show that the initiative should lie elsewhere, and that with sufficient assistance from outside, the problem of opium suppression in Hong Kong is at once and finally solved.\"\n\nThe board of directors would express their entire agreement with these opinions, but they submit that the correct deduction from them is not to support a licit trade, since that does not prevent smuggling, but to limit the production of all narcotics to the amounts sufficient for medical uses, and this can be done only through international agreements.\n\n## 3. \nIn reply to the argument that if the traffic in opium is abolished, there will be great dangers arising from the use of alcoholic drinks and other deleterious drugs such as morphia and cocaine.\n\nThe board fails to see the relevancy of this argument. It is as if one were to watch complacently an infatuated person poison himself slowly with arsenic because if prevented, he might poison himself a little more expeditiously with hydrocyanic acid. The Indian Government permits a considerable traffic in arrack and toddy and gives as a reason that if prevented, the people will indulge in narcotics. Now we are told that people should be permitted to indulge in narcotics for fear that if prevented, they will take to alcoholic drinks. When it is recalled that the sale of alcoholic drinks and of opium both swell the revenues in British possessions in Asia, it is difficult to believe that the question is not in some degree affected by the amounts raised for revenue.\n\nThat a traffic in opium should be legalised because if it is not, there will be a dangerous use of morphia seems all the more astonishing, for the Government of India produces the largest amounts of opium, and out of this are manufactured the enormous supplies of morphia, which are being introduced and sold illicitly in China, the amount of opium produced being far in excess of what is required for legitimate medical uses. The reasons that have led to severe legal enactments controlling the manufacture and sale of morphia and preparations should lead to similar enactments controlling the sale of all deleterious drugs; and the same arguments can be applied to the necessity for legally controlling the manufacture and sale of inferior and detrimental alcoholic drinks, such as would be used by the general public to replace the indulgence in narcotics.\n\nThe argument used in the recommendations of the committee for abolishing the use of opium, that \"it deprived of opium, it is only human nature that some substitute will be adopted\" and that \"the Chinese will have opium if it can be procured,\" set forth in Mr. Severn's letter, can hardly be taken seriously. It is not true concerning the Chinese, for although many Chinese are prone to indulge in the use of opium, it is not more than a century and a half since this habit took hold of the Chinese. Nor is it probable that at any time more than 1 per cent. of the Chinese people indulged in the opium habit, although in some districts the percentage was enormously high. If the narcotics cannot be procured, the Chinese not only can do very well without them, but they are in every way better, socially, morally, and physically.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**General Secretary** \n\n## 1 \n316",

        "content_text": "## Mining Operations\n\nThe coal is at present being worked in three ways: (a) From pits, (b) inclines, and (c) open working. Of these the last will be dealt with separately.\n\nThere are at present four pits and four inclines in operation, the names of the pits being Chienchinchai (or “C” pit), Oyama, Toge, and Laobutai (or \"L\" pit). Of these the deepest is the Oyama pit, which strikes the seam at a depth of 1,160 feet and has a depth of 1,234 feet. The Toge pit is 930 feet in depth, while the other two are each about 320 feet deep.\n\nThe names of the four slopes now in use are Yangpai (worked in conjunction with the Toge pit), Wantawu (worked in conjunction with the \"L\" pit), Lungpukan, and Heintun. A new shaft, to be known as the Lungpu pit, is now being sunk at the extreme eastern end of the concession, and has already reached a depth of 400 feet. The total depth of this shaft, which it is expected will be completed in about two years, will be approximately 2,500 feet.\n\n## Method of Working\n\nAt the outset the coal was worked by the pillar and stall system, but about 1912 the sand-flushing system, by which a very much larger percentage of the coal can be extracted, was introduced. The results obtained were highly satisfactory, and the system is now in use throughout the mine, the plant connected therewith being of the most up-to-date type. Sand is procurable in plenty from the bed of the River Hun, whence it is transported by electric railway to the pits, into which it is flushed by high water pressure. By these means about 80 per cent. of the coal can be extracted, and considerable saving of expense is effected in labour and the cost of mine timbers.\n\nThe coal is blasted at the working face, the powder used being dynamite with 50 per cent. of non-explosive matter mixed with it. The mines are comparatively free from fire-damp, and explosions are of rare occurrence, though there have been disastrous fires at the mines, e.g., in 1918, when there was a big explosion in the Oyama pit involving the loss of a large number of lives.\n\nThe underground haulage is mainly mechanical and where mechanical means are not available coolies are used. There are no pit ponies.\n\n## Open Workings\n\nThere are two open-cut mines in operation at Fushun and these form one of the principal features of the colliery. As stated above, the seam now being worked comes to the surface at the foot of the hills forming the valley of the Hun River, and in April 1914 operations were commenced with a view to mining the coal at the western end of the concession from the surface on a scale hitherto attempted. The work has progressed satisfactorily and some four years ago another open-cut mine was commenced nearer the hills and on the other side of the existing railway line. These two open workings are eventually to be joined, and the work of mining the coal from the surface will be continued in an easterly and northerly direction right under the existing town. It will therefore be necessary to move the present station and to build a new town, which will be situated at a spot much nearer to the river. The scheme has in fact already been taken in hand, as no new buildings of any kind are being erected in the present town. It is anticipated that the two open cuts will be linked up in from two to three years' time.\n\nCoal from the open workings can naturally be obtained with a much smaller outlay than in the case of pits, and this is especially the case at present, when the workings are comparatively shallow. All that requires to be done at present is to clear away the upper layer of soil and stone until the coal is reached, though as the seam dips from south to north a layer of shale which overlies the coal and increases in thickness with the depth of the seam has also to be removed. And it is here that the principal obstacle to the further development of the open workings will be met with, as the problem of the disposal of the shale presents considerable difficulty. Hitherto the shale has been piled up round the lip of the workings, but this has not proved altogether satisfactory as, owing to the existence of a comparatively high percentage of oil in the shale, spontaneous combustion occurs when it is exposed to the heat of the sun, while the fumes from the burning shale make the town anything but a pleasant place in which to live when the wind is in a certain quarter. To avoid this difficulty water has been thrown on the shale; but there is a limit to the extent to which this can be done, and the problem of the removal of the shale is now engaging the serious attention of the authorities. How serious the problem is will be realised when it is stated that the management of the colliery are planning to work the coal by means of this system to a depth of 1,000 feet. The shale, however, is said to contain about 8 gallons of heavy oil to the ton, and there is a possibility that plant may be installed with a view to the extraction of the oil as a by-product.\n\nBut, however this may be, it is certain that in the course of a few years, provided the open-cut system is further developed, large hauling plants will be required. At present the depth reached is only from 100 to 120 feet and comparatively little plant is required as coolie labour is abundant and cheap.\n\nThe present daily output of the open workings is about 1,000 tons.\n\n## Plant\n\nThe winding, pumping, ventilating, and hauling plant in use at the various pits and inclines is of various makes—British, German, and American predominating.\n\nThere are two power plants from which current is supplied to all the pits and workings. The first was installed when the colliery was first taken over by the railway company, and is equipped with two Parsons turbo-generators of 1,000 kilowatts each, while one Curtis turbo-generator of 5,000 kilowatts was added later. There are ten Babcock and Wilcox water-tube boilers. This plant is situated near the Oyama pit, to which it supplies power as well as to the other workings in that part of the concession.\n\nThe second power plant, the Mond gas plant, was first installed in 1914, and originally had a gasifying capacity of 240 tons of coal per day. Since then the plant has been doubled in size, and there are now thirty-six producers, the generating plant consisting of two sets of 1,500- and three sets of 3,000-kilowatt turbo-generators. Refuse coal is used for the plant, and the proportion of nitrogen in the coal being comparatively high, fair results have been obtained. The quantity of coal required, however, to produce 1 kilowatt of power is somewhat excessive, being as much as 7 lb.\n\n| By-products | Use |\n| --- | --- |\n| Sulphate of ammonia | Principally exported to foreign countries |\n| Tar | Used by the railway company for preparing railway sleepers and other purposes |\n\nOf the by-products, the sulphate of ammonia is principally exported to foreign countries, while the tar is used by the railway company for preparing railway sleepers and other purposes. During the war large quantities of sulphate of ammonia were sent to the Dutch East Indies for use in the sugar plantations, and owing to the high prices prevailing considerable profits were made out of this branch of the mining business. There are two sets of sulphuric acid producers with a daily capacity of 50 tons.\n\nA third power plant is now in course of erection near the river.\n\n## Coke\n\nThere are thirty coking ovens at the mines, but they are not at present in use. The railway company's principal need for coke is in connection with the blast furnaces at the Anshan Iron Works, but it is found more profitable to manufacture the coke on the spot, and the coal for this purpose is therefore first conveyed to Anshan. The coal from the eastern end of the concession is the most suitable for the manufacture of coke, and it is for this reason that the South Manchuria Railway Company have acquired the rights over the Talien Mine, which adjoins the Fushun concession, and which produces coal suitable for the production of coke. It is proposed to mine the coal on the Talien concession from the new pit mentioned above, as being in course of construction at the extreme end of the Fushun area.\n\n## Nature of Coal\n\nFushun coal is of fairly uniform quality, though, as stated above, that found at the eastern end is better suited for coking. In colour it is a lustrous black; it burns readily, is rich in volatile matter, and has a heating power of about 7,000 calories, is very suitable for consumption in locomotive and marine engines and also for gas making. The quantity of sulphur found in the coal is small, as is also the proportion of ash.\n\nPage 380",

        "content_text": "# Japan: Financial Influence\n\nUntil the outbreak of the European War, the principal source of foreign loans to China has been the Yokohama Specie Bank. But during the great loan period 1917-18, it was the Bank of Chosen (Korea), in conjunction with the Industrial Bank and the Bank of Taiwan (Formosa), which found the funds (see Appendices VIII and IX). Since 1918 Japan has stopped her independent loan policy towards China.\n\n## Japan: Trade\n\nHelped by many advantages, natural and artificial, the percentage of Japan's share in the China trade shows—until 1919—a remarkable upward curve:\n\n| Percentage | 1896 | 1903 | 1913 | 1914 | 1915 | 1916 | 1917 | 1918 | 1919 | 1920 |\n|------------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|\n|            |  |  |  |  | 19.7 | 21.1 | 28.4 | 28.3 | 40.9 | 33.4 |\n|            |  |  |  |  |  |  | 37.1 | 31.0 |  |  |\n\n* Japanese trade with China in 1920 amounted to 239,440,000 taels imports into China, and 160,260,000 taels exports: total, 404,700,000 taels. Of this total, 160,880,000 taels, or 39.7 per cent., was trade with South Manchuria. The total foreign trade figures for South Manchuria and the Japanese-Manchuria trade figures for 1920 were as follows:\n\n|            | Total Foreign Trade | Including Trade with Japan |\n|------------|----------------------|-----------------------------|\n| Imports    | 122,254,000 taels    | 43,800,000 taels            |\n| Exports    | 131,371,000 taels    | 77,490,000 taels            |\n| Total      | 253,625,000 taels    | 160,880,000 taels           |\n|            | (or 63.4 per cent.)  | (or 63.4 per cent.)         |\n\nThe principal import into South Manchuria is cotton piece goods, and the principal exports are beans and bean products. Practically all transport and banking facilities in South Manchuria are in Japanese hands.\n\nAs compared with the rest of China, it should be observed that in 1920 each inhabitant of South Manchuria spent on the average 8 taels on the purchase of foreign goods and sold produce to foreign countries to the value of 8.75 taels, whereas in the rest of China only 1.70 taels per head was spent on foreign goods purchased, and only 1.10 taels per head was sold to foreign countries.\n\nThe comparative value of Japan's special sphere of influence becomes apparent.\n\nJapanese shipping in the Chinese carrying-trade shows the following increase in percentage of the total tonnage:\n\n| Percentage | 1903 | 1913 | 1914 | 1915 | 1916 | 1917 | 1918 | 1919 | 1920 |\n|------------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|\n|            | 12.2 | 25.1 | 24.5 | 26.3 | 27.5 | 28.2 | 31.2 | 28.4 | 27.0 |\n\nIn 1919 the whole of the iron ore exported from China went to Japan, and most of the output of pig-iron. The only important iron and steel works in China, the Hanyang works at Hankow and those near Dairen in South Manchuria, are under Japanese control. Coal exported from China during 1920 almost all went to Japan; and of a total production of 12,700,000 tons in 1920, the Manchurian mines under Japanese management were responsible for 3,460,000 tons, and Japanese mines in Shantung for 600,000 tons. Important coal and iron concessions in nine places in Manchuria were secured under the `1915` treaty with China.\n\nOf Chinese exports, next to silk, the most valuable are beancake and raw cotton: both of these are almost entirely taken up by Japan. Japan also took in `1919` about one-third of the export of flour and one-half of the export of wheat. Japan has, therefore, become the principal purchaser of Chinese produce.\n\nThe principal imports into China are cotton goods and cotton yarns. Of yarns, Japan provided over a third in `1919`. The exact import of Japanese cotton goods into China is difficult to estimate, but out of a total cotton import (including yarns) of 210,000,000 taels during `1919`, the Japanese share cannot be less than one-third. Japan in `1919` was the principal provider of foreign imports.\n\nThe boycott of `1919`, according to the figures given by the Imperial Maritime Customs, did not have nearly so serious an effect on Japanese trade as had been expected. China is too dependent on Japan to boycott her goods effectively: and too many Chinese ports are in Japanese hands. Appendix XV shows the steady increase of the trade of those ports which chiefly handle Japanese goods, viz. Dairen, Antung and Kiaochow (Tsingtao).\n\n† During `1920`, owing to the slump, Japanese trade received a set-back, greater perhaps in proportion to that suffered by British trade; but Japanese preponderance must still be considerable.\n\n## Japan: Railways\n\nThe railways in Japanese control are principally to be found in the \"special spheres\" of South Manchuria and Shantung. In South Manchuria Japan has some 850 miles in operation, some 580 miles under construction, and some 900 miles projected under concession. In Shantung Japan has the Tsingtao-Tsinan railway (310 miles), with concessions for 430 miles more. The Japanese also have a financial hold over the Kinkiang-Nanchang railway (86 miles) in the Yangtsze valley, with a promise of the support of Great Britain in obtaining a continuation of the line to Foochow; and a Japanese loan has been advanced to the Peking Suiyuan railway (266 miles), which for many years had been China's pride as her one purely national railway.\n\n## Japan: Propaganda\n\nIn the Twenty-one Demands, an attempt was made to secure for Japanese Buddhist missionaries a footing in China like that allowed to Christian missions; this demand, however, was shelved. Mr. Carl Crow's Memorandum (see Confidential Print `151232` of the 12th November, `1919`) shows how persistent and widespread is Japanese newspaper propaganda in China. These Japanese-controlled newspapers have at times been vituperously anti-British. A Japanese propaganda society runs a school at Shanghai with branches at Hankow and Tientsin for teaching Chinese language and customs to Japanese, and for teaching Japanese to Chinese students. Another propaganda society runs a number of Japanese hospitals in China. There are at present about 3,000 Chinese students in Japan.\n\n## Japan: Industries—Manchuria\n\nJapan's industrial interests in China are centred chiefly at Dairen, Mukden, Tsingtao and Shanghai. At Dairen there is the Kawasaki dockyard and four iron-works, six bean-oil and cake mills, factories for sulphuric acid and dye stuffs, seven brick works, one cement works, one rice mill, one bone-dust mill, three soap (bean-oil) works, two salt works, one tile factory, one ice factory, one cold storage works, &c., all in Japanese hands. At Mukden there are two woollen-yarn and weaving mills, oil mills, saw mills and rice mills, a sugar refinery, chemical works, glass factories, match factories and candle factories, under Japanese or under joint Sino-Japanese control. There are two tobacco factories of the To-A Tobacco Company at Mukden and at Newchwang. At Harbin, in the Russian sphere of North Manchuria, there is at least one Japanese flour mill, and the Japanese Government have installed a commercial museum as general headquarters for their commercial offensive. There are electric light works, Japanese and Sino-Japanese, throughout South Manchuria, which is certainly the province of China best equipped with modern conveniences. There is the important Penhsifu coalfield and ironworks, a Sino-Japanese concern but managed by Okura and Co., and there are the numerous undertakings of the South Manchurian Railway, which include the Fushun and Yentai coal mines, the Anshantien iron mines and foundry, harbour, gas, electricity works, glass works, tile factory, hotels, schools, hospitals, &c. Important companies have been recently floated in Japan (1) to develop cattle-raising in Manchuria and Mongolia, (2) for rice cultivation in Manchuria. A Japanese authority values Japanese interests in South Manchuria at £30,000,000.\n\n## Japan: Industries—Shantung\n\nAt Tsingtao the Japanese have taken over from the Germans their brewery, railway repair shop, shipyard, cotton-spinning mill, silk filature, flour mill, and salt works (this salt industry is expanding rapidly, and the Japanese set great store by it). They also have two match factories, tanneries, four oil refineries, two albumen factories, two canneries, an ice factory, a glass factory, a lumber mill, brick and tile factories, a cement and coke works, a glycerine factory, two soap factories, a rice mill and smelting works. According to the United States of America Commercial Handbook, `1919`, Japanese capitalists seem to be inaugurating a vigorous development of the manufacturing possibilities in Tsingtao, chiefly along the lines indicated above, raw materials for such enterprises being obtainable both cheaply and abundantly in the hinterland of the leased territory. No less than five new cotton-spinning mills, with 155,000 spindles, have been projected by Japanese companies. In the whole of China, Japanese are credited with having in operation at the present time sixteen cotton mills with 469,000 spindles.",

Lard is produced in large quantities under Government inspection. The dairy farm has one of the best-equipped dairies in the world, with cold storage and other accessories. The chief meat, dairy and produce company in Hong Kong is undertaking the packing of meat in tins and otherwise for export, and promises to become an important, if not a controlling, factor in the tinned meat trade of southern Asia.\n\n15 \n\nSo Hong Kong is a very perfect small industrial centre, and its large concerns are entirely in British hands. Two soap factories on American lines have been projected, one by the Standard Oil Company. Our only local competitors are Chinese, who have not yet developed any big industrial concerns in South China, though examples such as the Kwantung Government cement works at Canton and the Nanyang Tobacco Company at Hong Kong show that the Chinese are no longer oblivious to their opportunities.\n\n#### Shanghai\n\n| Company | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| *Ewo Cotton Spinning and Weaving Company | Cotton mills |\n| Oriental Cotton Manufacturing Company | Cotton mills |\n| *Kung Yik Cotton Spinning and Weaving Company | Cotton mills |\n| Lao Kung Mow Spinning and Weaving Company | Cotton mills |\n| *Yangtszepoo Cotton Mill Company | Cotton mills |\n| Ewo Silk Filature | Silk filature |\n| Ewo Yuen Press-Packing Company | Wool-cleaning and press-packing factory |\n| Liddell Brothers and Co. | Wool-cleaning and press-packing factory |\n| Mackenzie and Co. | Wool cleaning and press-packing factory |\n| Shanghai Dock and Engineering Company | Shipbuilding and engineering |\n| Jardine's New Shipbuilding and Engineering Works | Shipbuilding and engineering |\n| Jardine's Marine Motor Works | Shipbuilding and engineering |\n| China Soap and Candle Company | Soap and candle works |\n| British Cigarette Company | Cigarette factory |\n| Kiangsu Chemical Works | Sulphuric acid works |\n| Shanghai Mutual Telephone Company | Telephone service |\n| Shanghai Electric Construction Company | Tramway |\n| Shanghai Waterworks Company | Waterworks |\n| Shanghai Gas Company | Gas works |\n| Shanghai Ice and Cold Storage Company | Ice and cold storage |\n| China Import and Export Lumber Company | Saw mills |\n| Lih Teh Oil Mill Company | Oil mill |\n| S.

Its staple product is cotton goods, which is the most promising of the new industries of China. A 1920 report gave the total number of cotton mills in China as sixty-three with 1,422,832 spindles. Of these, twenty-six are in Shanghai and thirteen in the surrounding district. Of the Shanghai cotton mills, five are British and five are Japanese. (In the whole of China, Japanese are credited with having in operation at the present time 16 mills with 469,000 spindles.) But the principal competition comes from the Chinese themselves, who are becoming more and more interested in the development of their cotton industry. In June 1920 there were thirty-five Chinese-owned cotton mills in operation in China, having 728,112 spindles set up and 277,316 spindles on order: and there were seventeen new mills being erected, for which 318,016 spindles and 1,510 looms were on order in England and America.\n\nMessrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co. are general managers for these three mills; at the beginning of 1921 an amalgamation was proposed, and the formation of a new company with capital of 5,000,000 taels.",

Usually %Sn. Occasionally complete analysis.\n\nOres:-\n\nAntimony.\n\nCopper. Usually complete analysis, (about 10 determinations).\n\nIron and Steel. Complete analysis.\n\nOther metals. Usually % of principal metal occasionally complete analysis.\n\nWolfram, Usually Tungstic acid and tin. Occasionally complete.\n\nManganese. Complete analysis, (7 estimations)\n\nBismuth. % Bi.\n\nOther ores:- Usually for principal constituent occasionally complete analysis.\n\nMetals and ores average something over two estimations apiece on the total number examined.\n\n7. The examinations made under the heading \"Tanks of ships\" are tests made on board tank steamers of the air in the empty oil tanks to ascertain whether or not such air contains inflammable vapour. The tests are made with the Clowes-Redwood apparatus which is taken on board for the purpose. The number of tanks on each steamer varies but averages about twenty. The heading Petroleum oil and Fuel oil in the Annual Reports refers to Kerosene and fuel oil tested in most cases for Flash point only. There are about 6 samples of fuel oil per annum tested for the Navy for Viscosity at three temps, Sp.Gr. Flash point, sulphur, acidity, setting point, Water and Residue.\n\n8.\n\nOnly such tests are carried out on alcoholic beverages as are sufficient to enable a certificate to be issued under the Food and Drugs Ordinance.\n\n12th March 1922\n\n(sd.)

Prolonged intramuscular injections of the Oil have been shown by Dr. Heiser to give better results than oral use, but they are very painful, and slow in their effects. Gynocardic Acid is comprised of the lower melting point fatty acids of Chaulmoogra Oil, which have been found by Sir Leonard Rogers, I.M.S., to be much better tolerated orally and more effective than the Oil itself. Moreover, he has shown that the Sodium Salt of this Acid is very soluble and can be injected both subcutaneously and intravenously in Leprosy with great advantage, the intravenous use being almost painless and more rapidly effective than any other method. (See \"Lancet,\" February 16th, 1916, and the \"British Medical Journal,\" October 21st, 1916). The Sodium Salts of the lower melting point Acids (about 37°C) of true Chaulmoogra Oil, derived from the seeds of the Taraktogenos kurzii, have been manufactured and issued by Messrs. Smith, Stanistreet & Co., Ltd., of Calcutta, under the name of \"Sodium Gynocardate\" for some months. Further investigation has shown that preparations of some of the higher melting point Acids are sufficiently soluble for subcutaneous and intravenous use, and produce more rapid improvement than those used earlier; while they contain a considerable proportion of Chaulmoogic and Hydnocarpic Acids as well as some of the lower melting point acids described by Moss as Gynocardic Acid. For the present (pending the results of further research), a mixture of the higher and lower melting point preparations is being made under the more correct name of Sodium Hydnocarpate. The results so far obtained, mainly by the intravenous use of these substances, have been recorded in the \"Indian Journal of Medical Research\" of October 1917, but it may be stated that out of twelve cases of Leprosy, mostly of an advanced nature, who have continued the treatment for between one and two years, eight have lost all definite signs of the disease; although it is far too early to say if the results will be permanent or not, and no claim is made that the disease can be absolutely cured.\n\nAll batches made by Messrs. Smith, Stanistreet & Co., Ltd., are tested at the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine. The Medical Staff of the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine would be glad to receive reports of cases treated with these preparations from medical men.",

        "content_text": "186\n\nBy the mouth.\n\nDIRECTIONS FOR THE USE OF SODIUM HYDROCARPATE.\n\nThe drug is supplied in grain Tablets for oral administration,\n\nOne tablet may be given three times a day after food, and the number increased by one daily until a total of ten or twelve tablets (20 to 24 grains) are taken each day, as long as the digestion is not disturbed while some patients can take as many as twenty tablets (40 grains) daily for long periods with advantage.\n\nPreparation of Solutions for Hypodermic and Intravenous use.\n\nA 3% solution is made by dissolving 3 grams of the drug together with half a grain of Sodium Citrate (which is added to lessen the tendency of the drug to produce clotting in the injected veins thus interfering with further use of the same vessels) The solution is then sterilized in the autoclave, and % Carbolic Acid added to preserve it. If an autoclave is not available the Carbolic Acid should be first added and the carbolized solution heated on a waterbath to 100°C for 20 minutes. When a number of patients are being injected at a time from 50 to 100 c.c. can conveniently be made in a small flask and after sterilizing the mouth may be covered with a sterile rubber cap, the upper surface of which may be washed with Absolute Alcohol or other antiseptic and punctured with the needle of a sterile syringe to take up the required dose, as used by Sir Almroth Wright for vaccines. If any precipitate or gelatination of the solution occurs on standing after Sterilization it should be filtered and re-sterilized. If slight precipitation recurs but dissolves on warming, the solution may be injected after so re-dissolving the precipitate. A very fine precipitate passing though a filter paper may be safely injected even intravenously. If sterile it never causes suppuration on hypodermic injection, while the slight local swelling at the site of the injection should be absorbed in 3 or 4 days at the most. The solution is put up in ampoules for hypodermic and intravenous use.\n\nDosage.\n\nFor hypodermic use one grain in 2 c.c. (a 3% solution) may be commenced with and if only slight local irritation is produced it may rapidly be increased to 2 grains in c.c or 1% in 5 c.c, and given 2 or 3 times a week, in addition to full doses by the mouth daily.\n\nThe injections may be made in the upper arm, suprascapular fossa, or between the shoulder blades; a second injection should not be made in exactly the same spot as an earlier one if any hardening of the tissue remains.\n\nInjections Into tubercles.\n\nIn the case of large tubercles not yielding to the general treatment a few minims of a weak solution, such as 1 in 500 or 1 in 1000, may be injected directly into the nodules with advantage.\n\nIntravenously.\n\nThis is much the least painful and far the most effective way of giving the drug. As fever and swelling of the diseased parts may be produced by intravenous injections It was at first recommended to begin with one-tenth of a grain of Sodium Hydrocarpate in 0.2 c.c. (minims) of the 3% solution and increase by one-tenth of a grain at each dose. Prolonged experience has shown that such reactions do no harm and are always followed by more improvement than is otherwise obtained. The first dose of Sodium Hydnocarpate may therefore be ¼ grain in 1 c.c.; one grain in 2 c.c. may be given for the second dose, subsequently increased by c.c. at a time up to 2 grains in 4 c.c. unless a severe action is obtained, in which case the same dose should be repeated until no reaction occurs. Some patients can stand 5 c.c. doses without getting giddy. The intravenous injections may be given once or twice a week, and the tablets given by the mouth on the other days of the week, but not on the days the intravenous doses are given.\n\nRabbits will stand the equivalent of about 50 grains for a man of 60 kilos weight. When a dose of about 2 grains intravenously is reached in patients transient giddiness is sometimes produced, and if it is severe this is an indication for not increasing the dose further. The intravenous injections should always be given slowly and especially the last few c.c. dose, so that if any giddiness occurs the injections may be immediately stopped. No effects beyond transient giddiness and headache have been seen to follow the injections. When a patient returns for another injection it is sometimes found that the last injected vein shows a hard condition due to clotting for half an inch or so at the site of injection. Except for the inconvenience of losing the use of the vein for injections no harm has followed this occurrence, which has been much less frequent since ½% Sodium Citrate was added to the solution.\n\nMethod of injection.\n\nThe drug is unirritating, so the same vein may be used repeatedly for the injections, which give rise to no pain apart from the mere prick of the needle. The veins of the forearm may be conveniently distended by tying a bandage, or stretching a stout piece of rubber tubing around the upper arm and passing one end in a loop under the other end and clamping the ends of the tubing together, so that the pressure can be quickly released by pulling out the loop or releasing the clamp before the injection of the fluid, which prevents any escape of the fluid or blood into the tissues around the vein which might lead to thrombosis. A pad may then be applied in Cotton Wool over the puncture. It is essential to use a fairly sharp and fairly fine needle as a vein is readily pushed in front of a blunt one without being punctured. The veins at the bend of the elbow are generally the most convenient for the purpose but those in the forearm or on the back of the wrist or hand and the internal saphenous to the ankle are often useful. If the veins are very small the air pressure band or blood pressure instrument may be used to distend them to the required degree, the pressure being released after the vein has been punctured before the fluid is injected.\n\nReactions.\n\nThese consist in fever for a day or two, and rarely for a longer period accompanied by swelling of tubercular deposits, and sometimes actual breaking down with discharge of broken down bacilli, and followed by reduction in the induration of the reacting parts and gradual absorption of the nodules. Steady improvement may, however, result in the absence of such reactions, although usually it is slower.\n\n3\n\n382",

I was on the upper deck. When about mid-way across the harbour a commotion on the lower deck and somebody shouted in Chinese that a person had fallen or jumped overboard. I saw Mr. Silva go and look over the side and after a few moments he took off his coat and shoes and jumped overboard. I could see something floating on the water a good way astern; Mr. Silva swam towards\n\nthe object. I saw him get the object and swim some distance with it to a life-buoy which had been thrown overboard.\n\nHe put the object, which I could then make out to be a human body, on the life-buoy. By this time the ferry launch had slowed down and returned to where Mr. Silva and his burden were, and I, with others got him and what I found to be a Chinese female on board. The woman was conscious but I applied artificial respiration which made her vomit a large quantity of sea water which she had swallowed during her immersion. I consider that it was a very brave act for Mr. Silva to jump overboard at night time and with a very strong current running.\n\nI am,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\n(Sd).

        "content_text": "\"The 'Canton Times' is owned, and managed by Chinese. It is the official organ of the Sun Yat Sen Government.\n\nThe Canton Times\n\nPublished Daily in Chung Mei Building, Second Bund West, Canton, China.\n\nTen Cents per Copy. $24.00 per Annum. Telephone No. 1855. Telegraphic Address: 'Canton Times'\n\nSaturday, October 15, 1921.\n\nA Pernicious System.\n\nThe Manifesto issued by the Anti-Mui Tsai Society in Hongkong hits the nail squarely on the head. The Mui Tsai system should be abolished not only in Hongkong but throughout China. The evils of the system are admirably summarized in this Manifesto that nothing need to be added by us in the way of comment. We want to let the Hongkong Society know the Canton Times shares the views of the Society and will urge the public-spirited men and women of Canton to form a similar organization in Canton.\n\nThose who advocate the continuance of the Mui Tsai system make out that its main purpose is philanthropic. Are they really sincere? Is it not because they can get service without paying regular wages for it that they buy a Mui Tsai? Is it not an immoral and unrighteous exploitation of children of the poor? Ask any of these persons who speak in defense of the Mui Tsai system whether he would be willing to have his daughter sold into another family as a Mui Tsai. This is the acid test that proves the hypocrisy of their profession.\n\nParents have purchased a Mui Tsai. Whenever we have remonstrated against it, the argument has been put forward that it is hard to secure and keep good servants. In every instance, the prevailing thought was entirely selfish. The rights of the Mui Tsai, her physical and intellectual welfare were never considered. They buy and sell Mui Tsai like they would chattel, with an eye single to the benefit they may derive from the transaction. Not dictates of humanity but only questions of utility enter into the bargain.\n\nGranted that there are some kind masters and (what is more rare) humane mistresses, does that in any way alter the status of the Mui Tsai? Is she any less a slave because her master and mistress treat her decently? When a human being can be bought and sold, deprived of her liberty for terms of years, made to submit entirely to the will of others, and arbitrarily abused and punished without any redress, no matter what fancy name you may give to such a condition it is, nevertheless, slavery.\n\nWe shall not dwell upon the sordid elements that enter into many a Mui Tsai transaction. The wretchedness and misery of those poor girls who are so unfortunately sold into houses of prostitution beggars description. Any real man who knows half the facts would be ashamed to raise his voice in defense of a system which violates the laws of morality and humanity.\n\nPeople tell us Rome was not built in a day, and a custom which has been in vogue from time immemorial cannot be eradicated or abolished summarily without disturbing the whole fabric of society. Gradual reforms, governmental control over the system, and public insistence that abuses should not go unpunished may satisfy some; but to us the whole system is damnable. A system of exploitation of precious human lives it should not be tolerated in any country that claims to be civilized.\n\nPage 316",

        "content_text": "30\n\nside, it is obvious that our own prosperity and the remunerative employment of British capital and labour must be benefited by the development of our trade with China; and this, in turn, is bound to be considerably affected by the number of Chinese who have received a commercial or industrial training in the United Kingdom.\n\nBritish prestige and influence, and the extent of the development of mutual knowledge of each other's country among British and Chinese are to a large extent dependent upon the existence of a vigorous British community in China. Such a community is in its turn affected, in numbers and in quality, by the volume and nature of Sino-British trade. Trade depends on the development of the country, and the development of the country upon the spread of education. Moreover, one of the most thorny difficulties which besets the Far Eastern question, is the social discrepancy between white and yellow. This gulf can only be bridged, if at all, through an educational rapprochement.\n\nThis question of the education of Chinese on British lines, therefore, is more than mere commercial propaganda. It is an urgent and fundamental problem of imperial policy. The political predominance of Great Britain in Asia may have to give way to some extent before the new self-assertion of the Asiatic peoples. The territorial empire of Great Britain may have to revert in form to an economic empire, less concrete perhaps, but not necessarily less strong. The reliance of the new China (as of the new India) upon our commercial and industrial co-operation is surely one of the foundations upon which our economic empire in Asia must rest; and how can such reliance be better promoted than by spreading British education among the makers of the new China? Have we not antagonised the Japanese by treating them as natives, at a time when we might have offered them more than we did in the way of co-operation in commerce, industry and education? As a result foreign goods and foreign influence have been steadily eliminated from Japan. Are we, in the same way, to lose our influence in China, a far greater and more promising field?\n\nIt is clear that other countries, especially France and the United States of America, are fully alive to the importance of the question. The French Government are preparing to grant lavish subsidies for an educational policy in China, at a time, too, when they can afford, even less than we can, any expenditure on luxuries. The policy of the American Government was still more generous, and has gained a lead of thirteen years.\n\nThere is strong argument, therefore, in favour of the State directly interesting itself in the endowment of a substantial fund for Chinese education. The Treasury have refused, not unreasonably, to add such a scheme to the burden of the British taxpayer. But, as Sir Charles Eliot says, it is a question of primary importance for our influence in China; and as such, he urges that the remission of the Boxer indemnity for educational purposes might be brought before the Cabinet (see paper 158944 of the 5th December, 1919). In the suggestions for immediate action, embodied in a separate memorandum, no such suggestion at present is brought forward, because it is strongly felt that those should finance the scheme who will most immediately profit thereby. On the one hand, our aim is commercial propaganda and advertisement. For the present, first consideration should be given to this point of view. But, on the other hand, we should be taking an important step in imperial policy. This is the point of view, which may eventually justify a State subsidy.\n\nFrench and American competition in the Chinese educational field should stimulate us to prompt and effective action, but need not inspire unnecessary alarm. With America we can never compete; her financial and geographical advantages are altogether superior. But, by spreading the English language, American establishments are assisting our own work and our greatest rival is thus our greatest help. France *Sir John Jordan (see despatch No.348 of the 13th July, 1918), lays stress on the fortunate result to us of the American educational achievement in China. The Americans, he says, are our friendly rivals, and, in some cases, our coadjutors. But Sir Charles Eliot (see paper 158944 of the 5th December, 1919), is unable to agree on the subject of collaboration between British and American schools and colleges in China. \"Friendliness may exist between such institutions,\" he says, \"but not collaboration or co-operation, because their very nature makes their aims different. We wish to attract Chinese students to British institutions in China and then send them on to other British institutions elsewhere, whereas the Americans wish to attract them to American institutions in China, and afterwards send them to the United States. We cannot even count on friendliness. The American college at Canton was strongly anti-British at the beginning of the war, and would not give a hearing to a travelling American lecturer who tried to give a discourse in favour of the Allies.\n\nYet the French Government subsidise educational establishments abroad, and His Majesty's Government, too, in the case of the Franco-British Institute.\n\n31\n\nwill never do more than cultivate her own little plot in the Chinese garden. She is handicapped fatally by the mean figure cut by her representatives abroad, both official and private. To the Oriental, France is already a second-rate Power. Still more is she handicapped by her language, which for the Oriental leads to nothing or to very little, whereas English is the lingua franca of international commerce, in which Chinese converse and correspond, not only with British and Americans, but with Japanese, Indians, Egyptians, &c., as well. M. Painlevé has recognised this point and promises instruction in English also under the French scheme. Surely the Chinese will prefer to get his English instruction from British or American sources.\n\nThe principal result of the French educational effort in China, remarkable as it is, ought to be the stimulus which it should give to our own people to grasp the infinitely greater opportunity lying so much closer to their reach.\n\nFebruary 3, 1921.\n\nSUB-APPENDIX.\n\nJAPANESE Government Students Abroad, 1918.\n\nCountries designated for Study.\n\n  \n    United States\n    682\n  \n  \n    France\n    3\n  \n  \n    Russia\n    2\n  \n  \n    Switzerland\n    1\n  \n  \n    England\n    3\n  \n  \n    Germany\n    1\n  \n  \n    Total\n    343\n  \n\nSubjects of Study.\n\n  \n    Political economy and science of finance\n    1\n  \n  \n    Science of commerce\n    1\n  \n  \n    Accountancy and science of commerce\n    2\n  \n  \n    Science of commerce and commercial English\n    1\n  \n  \n    Medical chemistry\n    *1\n  \n  \n    Medicine\n    1\n  \n  \n    Orthopedic surgery\n    1\n  \n  \n    Gynecology and obstetrics\n    1\n  \n  \n    Psychiatry\n    1\n  \n  \n    Pharmaceutical chemistry\n    2\n  \n  \n    Electrical engineering\n    F 2\n  \n  \n    Electro-mechanical engineering in general\n    J\n  \n  \n    Mechanical engineering\n    in\n  \n  \n    Naval architecture\n    1\n  \n  \n    Water and steam turbines\n    1\n  \n  \n    Mining machinery\n    1\n  \n  \n    Applied chemistry\n    1\n  \n  \n    Railroad engineering and reinforced concrete,\n    1\n  \n  \n    Industry of oils and fats in general, specially manufacture of fatty acids\n    1\n  \n  \n    Applied chemistry and science of commodities\n    1\n  \n  \n    Inorganic industrial chemistry\n    1\n  \n  \n    Metallurgy\n    2\n  \n  \n    Philosophy and ethics\n    1\n  \n  \n    Ethics..\n    1\n  \n  \n    English language\n    1\n  \n  \n    History\n    1\n  \n  \n    Physics\n    1\n  \n  \n    Organic chemistry\n    1\n  \n  \n    Botany, and biology in general education\n    1\n  \n  \n    Analytical chemistry\n    1\n  \n  \n    Physiology of fermentation\n    1\n  \n  \n    Forest mensuration and forest protection\n    1\n  \n  \n    Management of sericulture and filature\n    1\n  \n  \n    Industry of fibres\n    1\n  \n  \n    Physical education\n    1\n  \n  \n    Matters relating to female education and elementary education\n    1\n  \n  \n    Total\n    32\n  \n  \n    Mathematics\n    \n  \n  \n    History of Russia\n    1\n  \n  \n    Pharmacy\n    --\n  \n\nThose who were sent abroad during the year.\n\n32",

Hallifax can handle them settle things satisfactorily if we don't try to hustle a people who can't be hustled. \n\nTherefore, I advise that the law should be on the same lines and should be passed at once.",

There is much to be said in favour of the Siamese point of view, though their case would be stronger if they used their system as they might do, for the recovery and destruction of dross. On the contrary, the Government makes no attempt to recover dross, but derives considerable revenue indirectly from its sale. For the keeper of the smoking shop is only permitted to sell chandu at the price at which he buys it from Government, and has to rely for his profit on the sale of the dross which he retails for consumption on or off the premises at Tcs 10 per beel (as compared with Tcs 15 per oban or 1 ticel = 171⁄2). The residue after dross is made fetches Tcs 2.50 a tola and is used apparently for eating or mixing with drinks.\n\nThis right to sell dross is of course a valuable asset to the keeper of the shop, and the licences which are put up to auction from time to time accordingly bring in a considerable revenue to Government.\n\nIncidentally, the higher price which the home smoker pays for his chandu may be taken, in part at least, as corresponding to the licence fee paid by the smoking shop.\n\nIt will be seen from the enclosed print that it is the declared intention of the Siamese Government to introduce a complete system of registration of smokers at some future date. In the meantime, they exploit the situation for political purposes by calling attention to the difficulties which extraterritoriality places in the way of the enforcement of their opium law, and by explaining that they cannot dispense with any large part of their opium revenue until certain foreign powers release them from treaty obligations under which general import duties cannot be increased.\n\n9.\n\nThe policy of the Dutch East Indies is set out in",

Our reputation in this matter in China also stands high: the Hongkong \"customs are good\", a phrase constantly heard, not from the prostitutes only (when it means that their freedom is assured and that they are accorded consideration in any trouble) but also from responsible Chinese who speak with a knowledge of the conditions elsewhere, and a realisation of the necessity for keeping up the standard of Chinese family life.\n\n7. A note on the Chinese attitude towards prostitution may be added. The profession is not quite the profession as known in Europe: family parties are still rare (even in private houses) and it is the usual custom for men dining at a Restaurant to be attended by prostitutes sitting behind their chairs: one each; they provide the social and the cheery element perhaps as jesters, perhaps as buffoons. There is a regular scale of charges for this service, which by no means necessarily leads further after dinner: the contract is complete with the dinner. In the practice of their profession, the higher class prostitutes as a rule limit themselves to the attentions of one man: and there is always the possibility of being taken out of the brothel and converted into a perfectly respectable concubine. This is in fact not uncommon and the brothel origin forms no particular obstacle to the concubine being accepted in her new status. The old English attitude towards actresses (when the stage was of less repute) which was based on its suspicions was much more severe than is the Chinese attitude towards the high class prostitute, about whom there is no secret. And these women will state her profession of \"prostitute\" as readily as any other profession; with less reluctance perhaps than an actress would have claimed the stage a century ago. Matters are of course made easy by the recognised system of concubinage in China: and prostitutes\n\n(88",

The amount of sampling done during the year is shown in the following table :-\n\n  \n    Anise Oil\n    1,505 cases.\n    Soy\n    9,519 cases,\n  \n  \n    Bismuth Ore.\n    24 bags.\n    Chinese Wine\n    557 bottles.\n  \n  \n    Camphor\n    125 cases.\n    Wood Oil\n    2,960 cases.\n  \n  \n    Cassia Oil\n    1,605\n    Nitric acid\n    149 cases.\n  \n  \n    Lard\n    4,525\n    Wolfram\n    389 bags.\n  \n  \n    Chinese\n    2,000 tons.\n    Manganese\n    500 cases.\n  \n  \n    Spelter\n    3,382 slabs.\n    Tin Oil\n    87,620 slabs.\n  \n  \n    Tiu...\n    \n    \n    \n  \n\nREVENUE.\n\n8. The fees paid into the Treasury during the year amounted to $21,548.00 as against $22,143.50 in 1921.\n\nThe value of the year's work as determined from the Tariff of Fees (Government Notification No.439 of 1918) is $28,198.00 as against $31,083.50 in 1921.\n\nLIBRARY.\n\n9. Several standard works of reference have been added.\n\nSPECIAL REPORTS.\n\n10. Special Reports have been issued or supplied on the following subjects:-Mineral water manufacture, Chinese Wood Oil, Storage of Compressed Chlorine, Terne Plate containers, Sediment in Fuel Oil, Dangerous Trades Areas, Preservation of Timber, and Calcium carbide risks.\n\nRESEARCH,\n\n11. Tin in Wolfram.-The method worked out last year and mentioned in the last Report has been further tested on the samples sent for analysis and in every case very good agreement has been obtained, confirming the reliability of the method.\n\nNew Territory Waters.-The work on the village wells and spring waters of the New Territory mentioned in the last Report was completed, some seventy samples in all being exhaustively examined. It is hoped that the results will be ready for publication shortly.\n\nCamphor. Further work on Chinese camphor has been carried out and the results obtained have been compared with those of a firm of London analysts who will shortly publish a paper incorporating some of the figures obtained here. These cover chiefly the Iodine value of Camphor and the various Camphor Oils.\n\n53\n\nDetection of Petroleum Traces.—In the investigation of cases of suspected arson the question frequently arises as to the presence or otherwise of traces of kerosene in the charred material taken from burnt houses. No very delicate chemical test for petroleum has been published. A piece of apparatus has been devised in this laboratory which depends on the use of oil-soluble dyes which will detect petroleum when present in the proportion of only 2 parts per million, and which is likely to be of considerable use in fire enquiries.\n\nKwong Tung Shales. A chemical investigation into the composition of shales in the Sun Ning district has commenced and is still in progress.\n\nSTAFF.\n\n12. No change has occurred in the staff during the year.\n\n10th January, 1923.\n\nE. R. DOVEY, Government Analyst,\n\n49",

Ltd. addressed a letter to the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies on the matter.\n\nSince that date I understand the Secretary of State has been in communication with the Governor of Hongkong and the Foreign Office, but up to the present time no definite reply has been received.\n\nThe tax which at the present time is claimed by the Colony of Hongkong is payable in January next and my client, British-American Tobacco Co. (China) Limited, are rather leaning to the view that unless some very substantial reduction is made in the amount payable under the Ordinance, they would be well advised to test the validity of Section 7, sub-section (4), of the Hongkong Ordinance, No.31 of 1915.\n\nAs at once...",

During the proceedings of the survey the stock of morphine in the store was found to be deficient of 2 lbs. The acting apothecary informed me that this was kept in a drawer of the writing table in the Dispensary, where it had remained since Mr. Cable's departure. This is a very valuable drug, and I believe 2 lbs of Morphine represents many years stock for normal usage.\n\n## B.\n\nI would suggest that in view of the discrepancies found as a result of the survey, that it is essential that new Stock Books should be opened, and the balances properly adjusted, and in future more care should be observed in the writing of Issue Notes, and the subsequent entries in the Stock Books. I consider it a matter of great importance that a greater control should be exercised over the consumption of stores. This can be done by regulating the issues from the Store to the Dispensary in such quantities, where practicable, that the Stock in the Dispensary does not exceed a week's demand.\n\n9. Although it is generally agreed that the Store Rooms are inadequate, I consider improvement could be made by re-arrangement and labelling of the stock.\n\n10. The survey was made with the assistance of the acting Apothecary, and his opinion was considered in all cases where a difference between the stock and book balance arose.\n\nIn all cases where only an approximate figure could be estimated the amounts shown in the statement are not over-estimated, and in this connection I would suggest that Scales be available in the Store to enable future issues to be correctly made.\n\n11.\n\nIn conclusion, I ask your indulgence for any errors in the description of the stores, as the Stock Books are very illegibly written. To avoid any misunderstanding I have in all cases quoted the Stock Book Folio in the Statement attached.\n\nI have, &c., (Sd.) T. Dallin, \nAssistant Auditor.",

At the last minute the\n\nDepartment of Public Health under the Military organisation at Wuchow, presented a proposition to take over the hospital\n\nas a Public Health Institution. This was found to be the ultimate aim in calling a strike and closing the hospital. The American Trustees of the Hospital instructed the superintendent not to enter upon any plan of co-operation whereby the ownership of the property and the work of the\n\nhospital would be placed in danger. So the negotiations along this line were not encouraged. It seemed impossible to in any way work out a plan of co-operation. The Chinese\n\nstaff left early on the morning of March 31st, and we closed up the hospital, suspending all work for the time being.\n\nAll patients were removed and the entire Chinese\n\nstaff of the Hospital left with their baggage before noon. ▲ close guard was placed about the Hospital and no Chinese\n\nwas allowed to enter. No help could be secured for any\n\npurpose. The removal of baggage and effects was a problem.",

It is utterly impossible. (C) As mentioned previously the Schemes of Defence of many ships are still outstanding. The supervision of Government craft building has until quite recently occupied practically all this officer's time. The \"Kau Sing\" and new Fire Fleet have now been finished leaving Police Launch No.4 still in hand. A second launch for the Health Officer of the Port is shortly to be laid down (Expenditure of $30,000 has been approved) and next year's programme includes a launch to replace \"Victoria\" and at least one launch for Police.\n\nAssistant under (C) is absolutely essential.\n\n(D) The survey of vessels, Steam motor and water boats under 60 tons averaging 2.48 vessels per day (6 days to the week) throughout the year is, if done properly, more than one officer's work.\n\n(E) At present I experience great difficulty on getting plans for proposed new Government craft. To obtain them takes from 4 to 8 weeks and even then it necessitates this officer working long hours over time. At present the survey of life boats building and carried by passenger ships and their equipment is done by an Engineer Officer. It is highly desirable that this work should be undertaken by a specially trained deck officer i.e. A Nautical Surveyor.\n\nEnclosures B and C show numbers of vessels and craft dealt with by this Sub-Department and though in some instances the figures for 1925 show a slight decrease it must be clearly understood that this is attributable to the strike and boycott and that directly conditions return to normal figures will immediately revert to pre-strike standard and the general increase in the work annually will continue.\n\nAt present the work of this Sub-Department is being \"got through\" somehow but I would point out that there are two ways of carrying out a survey.\n\nالمدون\n\n(1)",

But our Authorities took no heed of him, and Cheung Ngai was filled with shame and anger. Now the Northern Expedition has been sent out, and Cheung desires to avail himself of the opportunity to recover Chiu On. He has sent successive detachments to Wan Shiu, Ping Wo and Ma Sang (the latter is at the frontier between Chiu On and Wan Shiu), made a\n\ndisplay of his war preparations and under menace of war, required Cheung Ching to leave Chiu On within certain days.\n\nCheung Ching has now, on the one hand, wired to Ho Ying Yuen\n\nand asked for instructions and re-inforcements, and on the\n\nother, has marched to the front with his men, and threatened\n\nWan Shiu and Ma Sang. According to information received on\n\nthe day before yesterday, a skirmish has been fought at\n\nla Seng between the van-guards of the two sides. The\n\nFukienese made several fierce assaults on Chiu On which were\n\nall repulsed Both sides are still holding out against\n\neach other at la Sang, and no decisive victory was won by\n\neither side. We understand that the Authorities in Chiu\n\nChow and Swatow are not paying much attention to this fighting for Cheung Ching has an army large enough to resist Cheung Ngai for the time being, and can be left to settle the matter himself. No re-inforcements will be sent unless the situa-\n\ntion becomes critical, but every preparation is being made,\n\nand re-inforcement can be sent out any time to help Cheung. This has caused much speculation. If the trouble at Chiu On continues the area involved is bound to spread until this spark has involved Kwong Tung in a war with Fukien.",

        "content_text": "70\n\n-\n\nSPECIAL REPORTS.\n\nSpecial reports were prepared during the year on \"The Determination of Iron in Battery Acid,\" \"Chinese Peanut Oil,\" \"Impurities in Chinese Tin,\" \"Phosphorus Pentoxide Content of Chinese Rice,\" and \"The preservation of bodies in Mortuaries.\"\n\nRESEARCH.\n\nAn investigation has been begun into the degree of pollution of Hongkong harbour. To provide the necessary data for this work, a preliminary investigation was made into the nature and composition of Hongkong sewage. Eleven composite samples, each composed of 14 samples of sewage were analysed, and the average composition of the sewage thus determined.\n\nThe composition of the sea-water in the neighbourhood of the Colony in an unpolluted condition has also been determined, and data thus obtained for interpreting the results obtained on mixtures of sewage and sea-water in the harbour.\n\nAs regards the latter, some 373 samples of harbour water have been examined, some at High tide and some at Low tide. The work has not advanced sufficiently for many conclusions to be drawn.\n\nSome work has been done on the factors affecting the accuracy of the assay of Chinese bismuthite, and the comparative results obtained by various methods of assay. Methods for the estimation of metallic impurities in tinned foods have also been studied and an improved method worked out. Experiments have also been made on the application of electrical conductivity methods to problems connected with the analysis of foods.\n\nSAMPLING\n\nThe sampling and analysis of consignments of metals, ores and oils for local export firms was, of course, affected by the strike, but in spite of the unfavourable conditions a considerable amount of this work was done. The following Table shows the amount of sampling done by the Government sampler during the past year:\n\n  \n    1,262 Containers.\n    Manganese ore.\n    3,800 Tons.\n  \n  \n    \n    Anise Oil.\n    50 tons.\n  \n  \n    1,100\n    Antimony.\n    1,227 slabs.\n  \n  \n    670\n    Antimony ore.\n    101,655\n  \n  \n    21\n    Bismuthite.\n    \n  \n  \n    21\n    Nickel bar.\n    \n  \n  \n    12\n    Spelter.\n    \n  \n  \n    22\n    Tin\n    7,300 tons.\n  \n  \n    1,458\n    Cassia Oil.\n    3,477 bags.\n  \n  \n    12,937\n    Tin slag.\n    15,932 containers.\n  \n  \n    \n    Lard.\n    \n  \n  \n    \n    Limestone.\n    \n  \n  \n    \n    Wolfram.\n    \n  \n  \n    \n    Wood oil.\n    \n  \n\n71\n\nREVENUE.\n\nThe fees paid into the Treasury during the year amounted to $23,000.00 as against $22,616.00 in 1924.\n\nThe value of the work done as determined from the Tariff of Fees (Government Notification No.439 of 1918) was $50,085.00 as against $33,876.00 in 1924.\n\nLIBRARY.\n\nSeveral standard works of reference have been added.\n\nSTAFF.\n\nMr. V. C. Branson joined the staff in January as Second Assistant Analyst. No other changes in the staff have occurred.\n\nE. R. DOVEY.\nGovernment Analyst.\n\n220",

But it has educated students from all over China,\n\nmany of whom are now doing well; and it is perhaps not irrelevant to remind Your Lordship in this connection of what His Excellency, the Chancellor, has already brought to your\n\nnotice, namely that on account of scholars sent to the\n\nUniversity, the Peking Government and other governments of\n\nChina are still in the University's debt to the extent of over\n\none hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.\n\n4.\n\nAmong the proposals in connection with which His\n\nExcellency, the Chancellor, has approached Your Lordship, is\n\na scheme for establishing in the University of Hong Kong a Faculty of Chinese studies. His Excellency deprecates the\n\ncomparative neglect with which Chinese studies have hitherto\n\nbeen treated in the University, and is emphatic in his view\n\nthat this defect should be made good as soon as possible.\n\nWith this view we are in complete agreement. The scheme for\n\na Chinese Faculty which is now being laid before Your Lordship\n\nwill not only provide facilities for the study of Chinese\n\nclassics by Chinese students, and for the comparative study by\n\nsuch students of the English and Chinese languages, but it\n\nwill also be designed to afford opportunities for Britishers,\n\nboth civil servants and commercial men, to acquire the Chinese\n\nlanguage.\n\n5.\n\nThen the University of Hong Kong was started, stress was laid on the undesirability of sending immature Chinese boys far away from their homes and traditions and sustous of their country, to be educated in Europe and America. The Canton Viceroy quoted above was particularly emphatic regarding this danger. We desire to impress upon Your Lordship and your colleagues that this danger, far from\n\nhaving ceased, is now more acute than ever.\n\n6.\n\nIndiscipline is now too common among students throughout China. From all quarters comes the same complaint\n\nthat students have become a law to themselves, and that\n\n32",

There is a further suggestion which I am disposed to favour in this attempt to disentangle ourselves from a policy which has hitherto worked somewhat unfairly against us and too much in favour of our economic competitors and actual enemies in China. This suggestion is that the change in our policy with regard to the arms embargo might perhaps be raised in connection with the revision of the list of prohibited imports (arms and ammunition), which, I understand, is still intermittently under discussion at Peking. Many difficulties have arisen from time to time owing to the indefinite nature of the terms \"arms, ammunition and munitions of war\" used in rule 3 annexed to the Chinese import tariff, and to the practice of the Chinese Government of introducing (entirely at their own discretion) various articles, e.g., acids, chlorate of potash, &c., used mainly for industrial purposes, into the list of prohibited articles issued by the Chinese Maritime Customs. If there is any question of making a Chinese law against the importation of \"arms\" binding on British subjects, it will be necessary to know quite clearly what articles are included under that term. If, therefore, the King's Regulations are withdrawn—and I am inclined to favour this course at a suitable opportunity—any suggestion to make the Chinese law on the subject binding on British subjects should be contingent on the issue by the Chinese Government of a revised list of prohibited imports acceptable to the foreign Powers. I should be glad to receive your observations on this point, and especially to learn whether, if the revised list proved acceptable to us, we could proceed thereupon to apply it to British subjects in the manner suggested above, or whether we should have to wait until all the other treaty Powers had concurred in its acceptability.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nAUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN.\n\nFROM\n\n1926\n\nHONG KONG\n\nForeign Office\n\nF.1bas/10/10\n\nBOR CIRCULATION :\n\nMr.\n\nMr.\n\nMr.\n\nAsst.

The Revenue Officer proceeded to examine the 25 Casks of Carbolic Acid Crystals referred to above, and the result was that two of the Casks were found to contain inside the inner tins a quantity of Morphine. The whole 25 Casks were therefore seized by the Government Authorities at Singapore and an action set in motion against the Captain for the importation of the Drug. After representations the Singapore Government Authorities allowed the steamer to be cleared and she proceeded on her voyage to China and Japan, whilst the Government Authorities at Singapore referred the whole matter to the Home Authorities in this country for their decision. The Summons against the Captain was subsequently proceeded with at Singapore and a final judgment was given against him on the 23rd February last, when he was fined 100 Straits Dollars with costs 50 cents.\n\nWe attach for your fuller information a copy of the judgment in question.",

However, the facts are that neither the \nCaptain nor the Crew were, or could be cognisant that some \nof the casks stated to contain Carbolic Acid Crystals had \nsecreted in them quantities of Morphine, and it would, therefore, seem to be somewhat harsh that the Captain should \nbe fined in this instance. \n\nAs you are aware it is quite impossible for Captains \nor Crews of steamers to examine the internal contents of all \npackages of cargo loaded into their steamer, but every \nprecaution practicable is taken by the Agents of the Company \nat the loading ports to see that the goods loaded into \nsteamers are those actually described on the Bills of Lading \ncovering the various consignments. \n\nOur Principals in Japan are therefore most anxious to \nclear their good name as a Shipping Company and the \nreputation of their Captain against the insinuation that \nthey were in any way responsible for the importation of the Deleterious Drug in question.

SAMUEL & Co., Limited,\n\nLONDON, E.C. 2.\n\n448279/58\n21 MAY 25\nCENED.\n\nThe Master of the s.s. \"Amazon Maru\" was charged with an offence under section 12(1) of Ordinance 124 (Deleterious Drugs) in that he allowed his vessel to be used for the importation of a deleterious drug contrary to the provisions of the Ordinance.\n\nThe vessel arrived at Singapore on the 31st May 1925 having amongst her cargo a number of barrels of Carbolic Acid Crystals consigned from Antwerp to Dalny. On examination by the local authorities a large quantity of Morphia was found cleverly concealed in the tins containing the crystals. These facts are not disputed.\n\nOwing to the dangerous nature of her cargo the ship was not allowed to enter the limits of the Port but was anchored outside those limits. The subject of jurisdiction was mentioned, but there is no room for doubt as to this. The ship was not, of course, subject to the regulations of the Port, but she was in territorial waters and, therefore, under the general jurisdiction of the Court.\n\nThe argument revolved around sections 11 and 12 of Ordinance 124; these sections are as follows:-\n\n### Section 11\n11(1) Subject to Section 3, every person shall be guilty of an offence who\n- Imports any deleterious drug or syringe\n- Exports any deleterious drug or syringe.\n\n(2) Any deleterious drug or syringe found in any vessel within the limits of any port or place declared to be subject to Ordinance No. 125 (Merchant Shipping) shall be deemed to have been imported unless it is proved that it is consigned to another country and that before the vessel entered the limits of such port or place, there had been made to the master of the vessel by the shipper or the person in charge of such deleterious drug or syringe a declaration in writing stating the quantity thereof and the names and addresses of the consignor and consignee.",

Jameson thinks it the sole solution.\n\nSir R. Macleay doubts whether other Powers would join us.\n\nPossibly the boycott of Hong Kong and of British shipping using that port infringes the principle of \"equal opportunity\" to which Article I.1 of the Washington Treaty pledged the Nine Powers. I do not feel very sure. But are the United States in the least likely to co-operate in bringing to an end a state of things which suits their trade admirably? Remember how the American judge at the Shanghai Inquiry played up to the Chinese. There is however some hope that the boycott will extend to other Powers, beginning with the Japanese, and that may alter the position.\n\nWe will send on later a considered statement on the Nanking and Tientsin treaties, but do not delay this to discuss them.\n\nAssistance to Admiral Li has been rejected by the Foreign Office.\n\nSir R. Macleay's policy is \"Await developments\" and hope that the Bolsheviks will disgust the Chinese. Unless and until H.M.G. decide to abandon the fiction of a United China, to which we have hitherto clung for fear of worse chaos, it is difficult to suggest any other line of action. There are of course hints that the F.O. may abandon the fiction.\n\nThis telegram has been circulated with other Colonial telegrams, but the S. of S. may like to call special attention to it and to the very serious situation of Hong Kong, by circulating the telegram `3200/26` separately.\n\n`2365/26`.",

(Received Colonial Office, 9.20 a.m., 6th February, 1926). \n\nI am repeating this telegram to Peking and Canton. \n\nI have received from His Majesty's Minister Peking copies of telegram No.35 from the Foreign Office and of his reply dated the 1st February (No.10). A copy of a telegram dated the 2nd February (No.5) from His Majesty's Consul-General Canton to the Foreign Office has also been sent to me. Barton is in the Colony (on a visit from Shanghai); I have taken counsel with him and O'Malley. On the 6th of February they both depart for Shanghai. In addition, I have discussed with Hallifax, Kemp, and Tratman. What follows represents our unanimous opinion.\n\nIt would be correct to look upon the Government of Canton as a rebel Government in insurrection against Peking and other parts of China. We understand from His Majesty's Consul at Swatow that it is at present engaged in offensive operations against Fukien. In our opinion, actual hostilities in Kuang Tung would not constitute recognition of an Independent Government in Canton. We consider, however, that such hostilities in Kuang Tung are not at present to be recommended. In our opinion, the time has gone by for warlike action to be undertaken in Kuang Tung by Great Britain alone, except at the risk of jeopardising our future economic relations with China. We are, however, of the opinion that it would be advantageous if very strong pressure could be brought to bear on the representatives in London of the Chief Maritime Powers with a view to joint action being taken at this juncture. The action which we suggest was outlined in my telegram of the 26th of January.",

The Government of Canton has definitely stated that they do not regard as valid what they call the \"Unequal Treaties\". Until they were expelled by British troops, pickets of the Canton strikers invaded and occupied a district near Shataukok in the New Territories. A police launch of the Colony has again and again been fired on in British water (the Shamchun river) by such pickets. A company of the Punjabi Regiment has also been fired on while patrolling the frontier near Takuling. In contravention of the joint working agreement, trains of the Kowloon-Canton Railway have been prevented from crossing the frontier in either direction. Villagers crossing the frontier have been waylaid by the pickets, who have levied toll on them. The importation of foodstuffs has also been prevented. On the 10th of July, eight Chinese women bringing fruit into British territory from China were also fired on by pickets of strikers. Two of the women were killed, and two were drowned. The pickets seized three and sent them to Canton. The importation of British goods into Canton is entirely prevented by the Strike Committee, who enforce their prohibition by confiscating the goods. Cadman (a British subject) of the Asiatic Petroleum Company was seized and thrown into prison by the Strike Committee. At the same time, two Indian firemen were also seized, imprisoned for a considerable period, and treated very brutally. At present, an Indian Steamer guard is detained by the Committee in custody. Pickets are maintained round Shameen. Any articles carried to the British or French Concessions from the native City by any nationals are confiscated.

This subject is dealt with in my telegrams `190/66676626`, `154810-01` of the 6th of December and 19th of January and in my despatch `43`, `49489` of the 20th of January, (Secret) and your telegram of the 30th of January.\n\n**(D)** The suggestion that pressure should be brought to bear at Moscow. In our opinion the expulsion of the Bolsheviks from Canton is an essential preliminary to a permanent settlement. The possibility of the effective steps taken in 1923 (in regard to trawlers etc.) being repeated should be considered. If this were possible it might provide the solution of the Kuang Tung troubles without the use of force and without antagonising the Chinese.\n\n**(E)** The question of conciliation. See `CE70%`, `C2243` and enclosure 7f in Governor's Confidential despatch of 2nd October, for the demands of Canton.\n\nThe only body in Canton with which my Government can negotiate is the Government of Canton. Apart from Canton workmen (with whom the Colonial Government has no concern) the Strike Committee consists of former Hongkong workmen (whose return we do not desire since the Colony is better off without them). The advisers of the Committee are Red Russians. The Colonial Government cannot possibly conduct negotiations with such a body. If such negotiations were begun our prestige would suffer to such an extent that the future good Government of the Colony would be imperilled. Furthermore a very detrimental effect would be produced on British interests in Shanghai if the Kuang Tung anti-British boycott were to end in the humiliation of the Colony.\n\nPage 6",

We fear that there is no real desire for conciliation on the part of the Government of Canton, which is only inclined to put an end to the boycott on terms which would be humiliating to the Colony and Great Britain.\n\nA settlement would probably be welcomed by the bulk of the population of Canton but they are terrorised by the Strike Committee and are incapable of giving expression to their wishes.\n\nIn Central and Northern China anti-British feeling has subsided, but as the result of Bolshevik influence over the Government of Canton, there has been no improvement in this respect in Kuang Tung. The suppression by the local Chinese Authorities of the extremist elements in Central and Northern China, has rendered possible there the realisation of the policy of conciliation.\n\nThe Government in Kuang Tung, on the other hand, actually consists of the extremists.\n\nOn the 4th of February I stated in the Legislative Council that the Government of Canton is expected and required by my Government to stop the illegal activities of the Strike Committee; that we consider that the responsibility rests on that Government and that we are still willing to negotiate an honourable and permanent settlement with the Government of Canton.\n\nSo far the Canton Government has declined to enter into negotiations. If they maintain this attitude in spite of my last offer, and should no success attend the action under the Washington Treaty which I have suggested, we shall have to consider whether the risk involved in separate warlike action in Kuang Tung should not be taken. In the event of war becoming unavoidable I invite reference to my despatch of the 19th of January (secret).\n\nWe hope that in any statement which may be made in Parliament the suggestion in the last sentence of the telegram of the 1st February from His Majesty's Minister at Peking will be emphasised.\n\nin `3105/1505` \n4.\n\n* **l.l.** the patience of H.M.G. may at-length be Exhausted.\n\n8 \n## Page 8",

E. Soothill, the distinguished Professor of Chinese at Oxford University, refers in an article in \"Contemporary Review\" to the remarkable change in the status of Chinese women. The modern Chinese girl and young woman, he writes, \"is the brightest spot on the landscape, and the most promising asset in the national life. I am not referring to the up-to-date fashionable, hotel-frequenting, cocktail-drinking, dancing, ultra-modern society creation, but to the cheery, happy tripping school-girl.\n\nTwenty years ago, nearly half the population of the country, some 200,000,000 of women and girls, had crippled feet. The effect on carriage, happiness, and character is only made evident now that a new race, absolutely a new race of women, is being evolved.\n\n\"If a sign be sought of progress in China, perhaps the most felicitous is the signboard of the Woman's Boot Store; 20 years ago, it was non-existent, now it is found in every city. Then, every woman made her 'three-inch golden lilies' to cover what remained of her maimed feet. To-day, the boot store supplies her with beautifully made shoes in bewildering variety to wear over her fresh-colored silk stockings.\"\n\n## SEND YOUR MESSAGES BY WIRELESS\n\n**Cheaper and Faster Service**\n\nTO Shanghai, Nanking, Foochow, Hankow, etc.\n\nMessages, official or private, are despatched immediately, day and night.\n\nApply to Office at 50 (old number) Second Bund (Yee-Maloo) Nankwao.\n\nCANTON WIRELESS STATION, MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS\n\n二號十五牌門舊路二\n\n## NOTICE\n\nThe S.S. \"Sainam\" and \"Nanning\" will leave Canton for Wuchow every Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8 a.m.\n\nFor further particulars, please apply to:\n\nSAILING NAVIGATION CO.

Film absorbs discolorations and thus makes teeth look dull and dingy. It breeds germs and bacteria and invites tartar, decay, and pyorrhea. It is a menace to tooth and gum health that must be constantly combated.\n\nThus, dental authorities now seriously urge that it be removed at least twice every day-in the morning and at bedtime. One can't expect glistening teeth and proper gum protection unless this be done regularly. To do so, obtain Pepsodent-a special, film-removing dentifrice most dentists favor. It curdles the film, then removes it and polishes the teeth to high luster in gentle safety to enamel. It combats the acids of decay. It acts, too, to firm and harden the gums; thus meeting, in many ways, the requirements of modern dental findings.\n\nPlease accept test tube.\n\nTo prove results, send coupon for 10-day test or buy a tube-for sale everywhere.

A man may still exchange compliments with another against whom he has an ordinary grudge, but he will entertain sheer hatred against anyone whom he loved dearly, once he has got into a dispute with him. When I was in Peking, I often associated myself with the Communists, such as Li Tai Chiu, who has often been blamed as being a Rightist of the Communist Party. He has often said that the Communists are yet in their infancy.\n\nThe Russian Revolution has not been an easy one and has a history of 150 years behind it. The independence of Belgium, the unification of Italy, and the reform of Japan all have had better results than the Russian Revolution, being realized within only 50 or 60 years. Even the Chinese Revolution in the San Hoi year (1911) was successfully carried out before the Russian Revolution. During the past 150 years numerous devoted Revolutionists in Russia have been exiled to Siberia, and it was only after much sacrifice and much extraordinary trouble, that it crystallized into Bolshevism, which is like a chemical mixture produced by a combination of salt and acid, being neither acid nor salt.\n\nThe Bolshevists hate everything, and therefore cannot place much value on anything; disagreement is always their policy. They act recklessly in order to achieve their ends, and this is wherein their infancy consists. For instance, when they cannot open a door, they try to break it open by beating with their fists and kicking with their feet, and even break in through a window. Again, when they go to bed, they draw down the mosquito net before they put the coverlet on. Since they have been so fanatic, how is it that they have still maintained order in Russia? It is because the races in the East and West differ from each other in character. People",

        "content_text": "# General Remarks on the Effect of Economic Pressure against China as a whole\n\n42. The conditions of trade in the three principal areas of China and the effect of economic pressure on South China have already been discussed. The same considerations largely apply in the case of a blockade of China as a whole. Broadly speaking, the immediate effect on the Chinese from a material and physical point of view would be as follows:- \n\nStoppage of:-\n(1.) Import and movement coastwise of foodstuffs\n(2.) Import and movement coastwise of raw materials\n(3.) Import of textiles and movement coastwise of Shanghai textile products\n(4.) Import of machinery, &c.\n(5.) Import and movement coastwise of semi-luxuries, e.g., cigarettes, some foodstuffs, &c.\n(6.) Exports\n\nCurtailment would affect :-\n| Category | Affected Classes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Manufactures, particularly in the Shanghai area, resulting in unemployment and distress amongst the labouring classes. | The lower classes. |\n|  | All classes. |\n|  | Middle and upper classes and to a less extent the labouring classes. |\n| Curtailment would cause congestion in China, reduced prices and confusion in the trade. | All classes, the middle class most severely. |\n\n43. Apart from the physical effects enumerated above, the merchant and middle classes who are at present well disposed towards the British would, from a trading and financial point of view, be more severely injured by a blockade than any other class. A further effect would be increased activity and employment on inland trade routes.\n\n## Explosives\n\n44. The question of munitions generally has been dealt with in paragraphs 35 and 40, but there are certain considerations affecting the manufacture of explosives which deserve attention. Sulphur.-It would appear that China is short of sulphur for the manufacture of explosives. Statistics show that at least 3,000 tons were imported in 1925. At the same time she possesses a pyritiferous shale which, with suitable plant, could be utilised for the manufacture of sulphuric acid. Information is not available as to whether or not such plant is in existence in China. The same consideration applies to the process of converting zinc concentrates into zinc. With suitable plant, the freed sulphur can be converted into sulphuric acid.\n\n45. Nitrates. It is doubtful whether China has an industry for extracting potassium nitrate from soil, and, failing the possession of synthetic plant, it would appear that she would be dependent on the importation of nitrates for the production of nitric acid, which is a prime essential for the manufacture of explosives. Little is known as to the plant which may be available for this purpose, but it may be assumed with some confidence that the stoppage of imports of sodium nitrate, which in 1925 amounted to over 2,000 tons in addition to over 1,000 tons of saltpetre would cause considerable embarrassment so far as the manufacture of explosives is concerned.\n\n46. Glycerine and Cellulose. There is a large number of soap and candle works in China, but so far as can be ascertained these soap works are small and do not have the special plant which is necessary for purifying crude glycerine to dynamite or nitro-glycerine quality. On the other hand, a satisfactory propellant can be provided from cellulose in the form of nitro-cellulose which would eliminate the necessity for glycerine, the imports of which in 1925 amounted to about 800 tons, as compared with about 1,600 tons in 1924. This may indicate that the Chinese use a nitro-cellulose powder as a propellant, and their requirements of cellulose could be met in the form of cotton, independently of imports.\n\n47. Toluol and Phenol. These products are found in coal gas, coke oven gas, and coal tar. China, therefore, has a potential source of supply of toluol and phenol. Although special plant is necessary for the recovery of these products, it is possible that such plants exist. In any case, under Russian guidance, new plants could be erected.\n\n48. **Summary**-Sulphuric and nitric acids are essential individually for the manufacture of explosives. The effect of cutting off the supply of sulphur and nitrates depends very largely on what plant already exists in the country for the production of these acids from raw materials available in China. Subject to these considerations, nitrates and sulphur appear to be the commodities, a stoppage of which would cause the maximum effect. The subject, however, is a very intricate one and is greatly affected by the industrial conditions throughout this vast country. We have not considered it advisable to delay our report whilst further enquiries are being made.\n\n49. ## The Effect on British Interests of a Blockade of China\n\nWe have set forth in paragraph 15 the general effects of a Pacific Blockade, and these observations apply equally to a blockade enforced in a state of war. Although it may be said with some truth that the effect on British interests of a blockade would be practically indistinguishable from the inevitable consequences of a state of war, there are certain aspects of this question which merit attention. Restrictive measures would certainly bear hardest on British subjects over whom our control is greatest, even upon the hypothesis of international co-operation. Leakage would in any event take place, and goods would reach the Chinese through indirect channels, e.g., vià French Indo-China or Corea; and this process, continued for a lengthy period and conducted by other nations, would, if and when China became tranquil, permanently injure our commercial \"goodwill.\" Indeed, it even seems worth consideration-taking the longest view-whether it may not be to our ultimate interest to permit a trade, limited both in area and in regard to the nature of the articles concerned, especially if these were of little importance and could be easily procured in China itself.\n\n50. **Hong Kong**. As regards Hong Kong, we have already referred (paragraph 31) to the lack of co-operation which may be expected from the Chinese inhabitants of Hong Kong in the event of a blockade being instituted against South China. Should North China also be included in the blockade, the embarrassment which Hong Kong must suffer would be greatly intensified.\n\n51. It will be observed that we have given a more or less detailed description of the three trade areas of China, viz., the Yangtse Valley, the Canton Delta, and Tientsin and the North, without attempting to follow up in detail the effects of the stoppage of individual items of commerce. Our reasons for this course are twofold. Firstly, the subject is one of great magnitude and at this juncture we feel that what is required is a more or less well-defined picture of the trade situation, together with the conclusions we have arrived at after examining the various figures which have been before us. In the second place, since the Chinese are self-supporting in vital essentials, it appears to be unnecessary now to attempt to indicate the degree of embarrassment which might be caused by a shortage of individual commodities.\n\n## The Position of H.M. Ships on the Upper Yangtse\n\n52. Although the matter is not strictly within our province, it may be desirable to conclude this Report with a reference to the position of H.M. Ships on the Upper Yangtse. A Memorandum by the Naval Staff on this subject is attached as `Appendix No. 3`. It will be seen that nine vessels are immobilised above Wuhu until various dates which range between the middle of February and the end of April, unless a sufficiently large \"freshet\" raises the level of the river over shallows for long enough to enable them to move. Even in this event, they might have to jettison their guns, &c., and to do without pilots.\n\n53. While these ships remain up river, we are informed that they can be fed and fuelled to an extent which would depend on the measure of success of the craft taking up supplies in running the gauntlet of attack from the banks. The gunboats and destroyers themselves are vulnerable to attack by field guns. As soon as the Yangtse was blockaded, supplies of food and oil from the shore would undoubtedly be cut off, and it is probable that fire would sooner or later be opened on the ships.\n\nPage 69\nPage 70",

Incidentally, the loss to British commercial and financial interests would be severe.\n\n(2.) Since China is self-supporting in vital essentials, a Pacific Blockade, if complete and effective, would probably damage foreign interests more severely and more permanently than Chinese interests; if partial, under our leadership, it would be even less damaging to the Chinese and would adversely affect our own position, politically and economically, to the advantage of other foreign Powers.\n\n(3.) Assuming a state of war, a blockade of South China would, in the first instance, seriously embarrass the Nationalist Government, but would not in itself cause a cessation of hostilities since, in course of time, internal trade would find its way through the country, and foreign trade is not essential. The stoppage of sea-borne supplies of munitions might, however, have a serious effect on the Cantonese, the extent of which depends largely on:\n| Factor | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (i.) | The stocks now in possession of the Southern Armies. |\n| (ii) | The output of the arsenals at Canton and Hanyang; and |\n| (iii.) | The amount of arms traffic which might take place through French Indo-China and possibly North China. |\n\n(See also Conclusion (6) below.)\n\n(4.) A blockade of South China might unite the North and South against the British.\n\n(5.) Assuming a state of war, a blockade of China as a whole could probably be made effective as far as the sea is concerned. But China is not dependent for vital essentials on foreign trade, and in course of time, internal trade would find its way through the country. Further, supplies of ammunition would be available from the up-to-date arsenal at Mukden, in addition to those at Canton and Hanyang, and military and other essentials might be available by land-route from Russia. Supply, however, depends on communications, and in this connection, we draw attention to the importance of the Pekin-Tientsin-Mukden Railway.\n\n(6.) The stoppage of importation of sulphur and nitrates might seriously hamper the manufacture of explosives. The effect of such stoppage would depend mainly on what plant exists for the manufacture of sulphuric and nitric acid from raw materials available in China. Information on this subject is not at present available.\n\n(7.) It is unlikely that a blockade would be effective in bringing the Chinese to terms rapidly, in which case, unless a certain amount of trade with the Chinese was permitted, the destruction of our trading interests and of the Maritime Customs which would result might become even more complete and irretrievable than would be the case if a state of war alone existed.\n\n(8.) We draw attention to the position of certain of H.M. Ships now stationed above Wuhu on the Upper Yangtse, nine of which will be, under normal circumstances, immobilised until dates varying between mid-February and the end of April.\n\n(Signed) **CECIL** (Chairman).  \n(Signed) **C.

Whitehall Gardens, S.W.,  \n16th February, 1927.\n\n[F834/1/10]\n\n## APPENDIX No. I.\n\nDespatch from Foreign Office to Colonial Office.\n\nSir,\n\nForeign Office, March 11, 1926.\n\nI am directed by Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain to say that he has had under careful consideration the telegram from the Governor of Hong Kong of the 6th February enclosed in your letter of the 16th February, in which the Governor treats at length of the situation at Canton, and urges, in particular, that, in view of the treaty violations on the part of the Canton Government, His Majesty's Government should, in virtue of article 7 of the Nine-Power Treaty of Washington, confer with the other signatory Powers with a view to the institution of a joint counter-blockade of Canton pending the removal of the anti-British boycott.\n\nMost of the points raised by Sir C. Clementi had already been dealt with in Foreign Office letters of the 28th January and the 17th February respectively, but Sir Austen Chamberlain has in the meantime carefully considered the possibility of something in the nature of a counter-blockade, which appeared, at the time that letter was written, to deserve further examination, and I am to request that the following observations on this point may be laid before the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\n2. If this policy were adopted, there would appear to be three possible courses of action:\n\n(1.) The action proposed in 1918, 1919, and 1920, when the Canton authorities threatened to seize the customs, namely, the interception at Hong Kong by the Colonial authorities of all cargo for Canton and the refusal of entry to all cargo from Canton. This would not appear to involve any interference with vessels and goods bound for Canton outside the territorial jurisdiction of Hong Kong. If this is so, it is probable that a good legal defence could be set up for the action taken, but it would be quite ineffective as a means of cutting off completely the trade of Canton.\n\n(2.) An agreement between the Powers concerned to prevent their nationals and national ships from trading or having any communication with Canton. Such action ought not to involve any international legal difficulties, because no Power would interfere with the ships or nationals of another, and it would be incumbent upon each Power to take such steps as might be necessary under its own law to acquire the requisite powers. It would presumably not be difficult for His Majesty's Government to take such powers either by legislation at Hong Kong or otherwise, and, in any case, it is unlikely that British subjects would desire to violate any international arrangement that might be made. Such an arrangement would, however, have no effect as regards the trade of such Powers as did not join in the common action, and the trade of Canton would fall into the hands of the nationals of such Powers, notably Russia, and possibly the United States, for, even if the United States Government were willing to collaborate, it is unlikely that they could arm themselves with the necessary powers.\n\n(3.) A pacific blockade or some similar means of coercion. In considering this action, it is necessary to bear in mind that the Government of Canton has not been recognised in any way as a Government by His Majesty's Government, and also that the proposed blockade of Canton is not intended as an act of war, but merely as a method of applying coercion in order to oblige the Canton authorities to desist from illegal action in attempting to interfere with the liberty of foreign vessels to exercise their treaty rights of trade at Canton.\n\nIt should not be overlooked, in the first place, that, if this action is taken, any member of the League of Nations, including China herself, would be entitled to bring the matter before the Council under paragraph 2 of article 11 of the Covenant. If the action taken at Canton were a joint action with one or more of the other Great Powers, there would be less risk of embarrassment at the Council and less danger of an attempt to isolate His Majesty's Government. On the other hand, it would be difficult for the Peking Government to protest at the Council against such action by the Powers at Canton, because it would be clear that the action was rendered necessary by the failure of that Government to put an end to illegal action in its own ...",

The following Table shows the nature of the substances examined :—\n\n  \n    Substance\n    Number of samples analysed\n    Number found genuine\n    Number found adulterated\n  \n  \n    Tea\n    12\n    12\n    \n  \n  \n    Fresh milk\n    136\n    131\n    5\n  \n  \n    Tinned milk\n    9\n    9\n    \n  \n  \n    Bread\n    43\n    43\n    \n  \n  \n    Butter\n    13\n    13\n    \n  \n  \n    Pepper\n    9\n    9\n    \n  \n  \n    Honey\n    1\n    \n    1\n  \n  \n    Jam\n    2\n    2\n    \n  \n  \n    Sugar\n    27\n    27\n    \n  \n  \n    Liniment of turpentine\n    6\n    6\n    \n  \n  \n    Coffee\n    21\n    20\n    1\n  \n  \n    Lard\n    5\n    5\n    \n  \n  \n    Vinegar\n    22\n    20\n    2\n  \n  \n    Flour\n    19\n    19\n    \n  \n  \n    Olive oil\n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Tinct.

Of this number, 220 were specimens of filtered and unfiltered water taken at the various filter beds each month, and the remainder were tap samples taken of the water as it reaches the consumer. These were taken by the laboratory staff from taps in various parts of the City.\n\nThe colour of the water has on the whole been satisfactory. most of the City supplies averaging well below 10 Lovibond colour units in the 24 inch tube. The worst filtered water examined was that supplied by the Aberdeen filter beds in April which gave a reading of 79.4 colour units. No nitrites nor heavy metals were found in any of the filtered or unfiltered waters examined, nor has the albumenoid ammonia in any case exceeded 0.0100 parts per 100,000; in nearly all specimens it was below 0.004 and usually below 0.002.\n\nSPECIAL REPORTS.\n\nSpecial Reports have been prepared during the year on \"Proof Spirit in Cassia Oil\", \"Kerosene in Cassia Oil and its Detection\", \"Synthetic Cinnamic Aldehyde in Cassia oil\", \"The Composition of Chinese Insect Wax\", \"Insect Sprays\" and \"Oxygen for Medical Purposes.\n\n55",

        "content_text": "Enclosure No. 9.\n\n154\n\nExtract from \"Hong Kong Daily Press\", May 29th, 1928.\n\nBUTTERFIELD & SWIRE STEAMER PIRATED.\n\n66\n\nDARING ATTACK ON S.S. \"TEAN\"\n\nIN HOIHOW HARBOUR.\n\nSECOND OFFICER'S ORDEAL.\n\nBRITISH AND CUSTOMS CRUISERS TO THE RESCUE.\n\nPIRATES TORTURE THEIR CAPTIVES.\n\nBias Bay pirates on Sunday morning carried out a daring attack on the Butterfield and Swire steamer Tean while she was lying in the harbour at Hoihow. They successfully seized the ship and took her to Bias Bay.\n\nDuring the voyage to the pirates' lair, the second officer of the s.s. Tean, Mr. J. G. Forster, went through a gruelling ordeal. He very pluckily fought his captor and directly caused the pirates to fire at one of their own men, who was shot through the heart and died instantaneously.\n\nMr. Forster was taken ashore at Bias Bay by the pirates, who intended to kill him out of revenge. He was fired at once at close range, but fortunately for him the pistol mis-fired. He then broke free and climbed onto a boulder and another pirate, who was about 40 or 50 yards away from him, fired at him several times. The shots all went wide, but Mr. Forster, who showed the greatest coolness, dropped into the water just as if he were shot and swam to safety.\n\nAmong the pirates taking part in the attack, one man boasted of having taken part in the Sunning and Hong Peng piracies. From a description given of this man by the third engineer, Mr. J. J. Thompson, he resembles one of the men who were acquitted here.\n\nA very pathetic story was told to a Daily Press representative by Mr. J. J. Thompson of a Chinese passenger who met his death by being thrown over a cliff some three hundred feet high. The Chinese steward of the ill-fated vessel was tortured for four hours. His hands were tied behind his back and it is also understood that he was beaten.\n\nOne peculiar point in connection with this piratical attack was that after the free-booters had left the ship, the holds were found to have been fumigated with some acid. The whole of the paint work had turned black and some silver dollars which the deck passengers had thrown into the holds were found to be discoloured. It is believed that the pirates used some kind of acid to smoke out anyone who might be hiding there.",

        "content_text": "EXPERIENCES of the\n\nSECOND MATE.\n\nMr. Forster, the second officer of this ill-fated vessel, was too tired to give his own experience to our representative and he left the telling of it to Mr. Thompson. After learning what he had been through, one could not grudge him a little rest.\n\nMr. Forster, it appeared, was in his cabin when a pirate knocked at his door at 4.15. He opened and found himself face to face with a pistol. He nevertheless kicked the pirate who tried to hold him up and succeeded in knocking the weapon away. Just at the same time another pirate fired at him and missed him. Mr. Forster then got out of his cabin and ran round the saloon deck and eluded his pursuers. He went to the poop deck where he woke up Mr. Thompson.\n\n44 'My Brother Shot.'\n\nThe two pirates who were pursuing Mr. Forster thought he had gone up to the bridge and they went after him. On reaching the top rung of the ladder, they saw the outline of a man and thinking that it was the runaway officer, the two pirates fired. One shot went through the heart of the man who fell. The robbers thinking that they had killed Mr. Forster, then left the bridge.\n\nAfter the ship had got underway, the pirate chief went on the bridge and on turning the dead round, found that his own men had shot his brother. \"Oh my brother, they have killed,\" he said, and flung his gun into the water.\n\nWhen the officers later saw a coffin being ordered by the pirates, it then dawned on them that the coffin was for the dead bandit.\n\nThis incident set the pirates against Mr. Forster and when they were taking him ashore in Bias Bay, they told him that they would shoot him, and as a preliminary punishment, the robbers made Mr. Forster do the rowing.\n\nOn looking round they saw that they were pursued. This put the pirates in a flurry and in their haste to get ashore they smashed the two boats against some rocks on the beach.\n\nMr. Forster's Lucky Escape. Just on the beach a pirate turned round and fired point blank at Mr. Forster. Luckily the bullet mis-fired. Mr. Forster then ran toward a boulder, but from another boulder, come forty or fifty feet away, another pirate opened fire at him.\n\nMr. Forster at once dropped into the water as if he had been shot, but to the pirates' surprise and anger, Mr. Forster struck out toward his ship as soon as he touched the water. The pirates sent a fusillade after him, but all the shots went wide. Mr. Forster was then picked up by the pursuit party from the Yueng Shing. He returned to his ship with ugly bruises on his knees and body.\n\nThe Humorous Side Of A Tragedy.\n\nLaughingly, Mr. Thompson told our representative that the piracy and the tragedy that followed in its wake were not without a touch of humour. \"There were many deck passengers sitting over a hatch, you know, and these people began to secrete the few dollars they had with them. They had nowhere to hide the money, so they dropped it into the hold through the crevices in the hatch. After the pirates had left, these men and women refused to budge. They claimed that any money found under the position in which they were sitting belonged to them. To pacify them the hatch was opened and in the hold several dollars were found. This money was all discoloured as well as the paint work. There was an awful smell in the hold and it was evident that the pirates had fumigated the holds with some sort of acid so as to smoke out anyone who might have been hiding there.\n\nWhere Is The General? There was a Chinese general, Mr. Thompson said, travelling as a first-class passenger. After the pirates had taken control of the ship, this general stood outside his cabin to see what the commotion was all about. Two pirates went into the general's cabin and ransacked it. They found a medal pinned on a coat which the general was wearing. They at once turned round to the general and asked him \"Where is the general?\n\n\"The general, oh I will take you to him,\" said the proper general, and he took the two pirates for a walk around the ship. When he came to a dark corner, he successfully eluded the two robbers and went away to hide himself.\n\nHe is supposed to have thrown overboard about $5,000 in notes which he was alleged to have had on his person. He then hid himself in the coal hold, from which he was taken in a semi-conscious condition when all was again quiet.\n\nA Braggart Pirate. One of the pirates in this band boastfully told Mr. Thompson that he had taken part in several piracies.

Site of Destructors and Pumping Station :-The site shown on plan has been chosen chiefly on account of the desirability of having the destructors as far removed as possible from the densely populated parts of the City. It forms part of the scheme of reclamation referred to on page 40 in the report on the commercial development of the Port of Hong Kong by Mr. John Duncan dated the 12th December 1924 and entails the building of a deep sea wall and reclamation. It is desirable to keep the installation within harbour limits east of Sulphur Channel, as the removal of refuse to this point is less likely to be affected by typhoons and adverse weather. The destructors are shown on part of the site nearest the harbour front to allow of rapid and cheap handling of refuse by water transport. It would probably be found economical for all refuse east of Western Market to be water-borne. From experience gained of the working of Destructor plants in several towns in England during the years 1904-1910, I am strongly of the opinion that they can be successfully operated in Hong Kong, but whether they would or would not be a sound business proposition and a Sanitary improvement worth the cost as compared with the present method of refuse disposal at sea, and whether the power generated could be economically used for any large Government buildings and plants other than pumping for a salt water flush system, (and I am inclined to think it\n\n104",

        "content_text": "# The Photochemical Decomposition of Gaseous Sulphur Dioxide\n\nwas inappreciable as was to be expected in view of Coehn's observation and the relatively small value for the total decomposition obtained under the conditions employed.\n\nAfter exposure, a very slight deposit of solid was observed in the tube. This was shown to be sulphur in the following way. After each successive experiment, each lasting 4 hours, was carried out, the vessel was simply evacuated and refilled with sulphur dioxide. Finally, the vessel was evacuated and refilled with dry air three or four times and washed with water and alcohol to remove all trace of acid. Sulphur was definitely shown to be present by the method of Gil.1\n\nThe actual primary photochemical process may either be a dissociation of the SO2 molecule into atomic sulphur and molecular oxygen, or may simply consist in the activation of a sulphur dioxide molecule. In either case, the final result is expressed by:\n2SO2 = SO3 + S.\n\n## Experimental Results\n\nCoehn, using a quartz mercury lamp on 6 to 9 amps, has shown that sulphur dioxide, enclosed in an annular space surrounding the lamp, is decomposed to the extent of 67 per cent, but when a uviol sheath is interposed, the decomposition is reduced to 14 per cent. This indicates that wave-lengths as long as 253μμ are effective for the decomposition, but since the first absorption band of SO2 extends to 318μμ on the long wave side of the head, Coehn's result is far from showing that radiation of any wave-length within the band limits would be effective. For this reason, measurements were carried out using the uviol lamp with a series of filters, the details of which are given later. The values for the decomposition of the gas under the influence of different qualities of light are given in the table below.\n\n### Temperature of Gas, 16-18° C.\n### Initial Pressure, 600 MM.\n\n| Reference No. of Experiment | Nature of Light, Filter and Time of Exposure | Total Decomposition | Per cent |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | Lamp alone, 8 hours | 3'5 | 3'5 |\n| 2 | Lamp alone, 4 hours | 3'4 | 3'4 |\n| 3 | Plate glass filter, 8 hours | 0'0 | 0'0 |\n| 4 | One uviol sheath, 8 hours | 3'4 | 3'4 |\n| 5 | Two uviol sheaths, 8 hours | 3'4 | 3'4 |\n| 6 | Three uviol sheaths, 8 hours | 3'2 | 3'2 |\n| 7 | White transparent glass, 8 hours | 3*2 | 3*2 |\n| 8 | p-toluidine filter, 8 hours | 3*3 | 3*3 |\n| 9 | B-napthol filter, 8 hours | 0'0 | 0'0 |\n| 10 | Lamp alone, acting on specially dried gas for 8 hours | 2'S | 2'S |\n\n(In the above table, percentage decomposition represents grams per 100 grams of original SO2.)\n\nAll the experiments, with the exception of No. 10, were carried out with gas which had been passed fairly rapidly over phosphorus pentoxide. A further increase in the water vapour content was found to be without effect upon the results. When the sulphur dioxide is specially dried, by passing it slowly over P2O5, the decomposition value of the photostationary state dropped from 3'5 per cent to 2'8 per cent.\n\n## Nature and Effectiveness of the Filters\n\n### Experiments Nos. 1 and 2. Vessel Wall without Additional Filter\nIt will be observed that practically the same amount of decomposition was obtained after 4 hours exposure as after 8 hours. This indicates a photostationary state corresponding to the physical and dimensional conditions employed. This is attained in less than 8 hours. In all subsequent experiments, an exposure of 8 hours was employed to obtain comparable results. Photographs were taken, on a Hilger quartz spectrograph, of the spectrum of the uviol lamp alone and also with one uviol sheath as filter. The line 253 is shown \"strong\" in the spectrum of the lamp alone, but \"very weak\" in that of the lamp with one sheath, whilst other lines are diminished in intensity. It is to be remembered that it is under the latter condition that the present experiments have been carried out, as the gas itself is enclosed in a uviol sheath. The general trend of subsequent results strongly suggests that no line which is not found to be \"moderately strong\" can effect decomposition.\n\nThe results of experiments 1 and 2, when we take into account the corresponding spectrum photograph, indicate that sulphur dioxide can be decomposed by radiation as long as 274μμ. Although the uviol lamp emits wave-lengths as short as 253, 265, and 269μμ, these barely get through a sheet of uviol glass, i.e., they cannot effectively penetrate the reaction vessel.\n\n### Experiment 3. Vessel Wall Plate Glass Filter\nIn this case, decomposition was observed. The plate glass transmitted no line of wave-length shorter than 334μμ. This line is, however, transmitted moderately strongly. It follows that the decomposition must be brought about by one or more of the lines 313, 302, 297, 289, 280, and 274μμ, known to be emitted by the lamp.\n\n### Experiment 4. Vessel Wall + One Uviol Filter\nThe corresponding spectrum photograph was taken through two uviol sheaths in order to allow for the vessel wall, and similar procedure was adopted in the case of additional filters. The lines transmitted in this case are four in number, namely, 313, 302, 297, and 289μμ. The observed decomposition amounted to 3'4 per cent.\n\n### Experiment 5. Vessel Wall + Two Uviol Filters\nUnder these conditions, the decomposition is identical with that of the previous case. The lines transmitted were found to be 313, 302, and 297μμ.\n\n### Experiment 6. Vessel Wall + Three Uviol Filters\nA slightly lower decomposition value was obtained, namely, 3'2 per cent. The spectrum photograph is indistinguishable from that of the previous case. Obviously, further use of uviol sheaths would be of little value.\n\n### Experiment 7. Vessel Wall + White Transparent Glass\nThe spectrum photograph showed that this specimen of glass transmitted no light of wave-length shorter than 297μμ, and the latter only feebly as compared with the effect of the uviol sheaths. The decomposition with this filter...\n\n1 Zeitsch. anal. Chem., 33, 54, 1894.\n2 Loc. cit.",

If they fail to suppress them properly, they should be treated as inefficient and disbanded after the suppression of all the bandits, we should have further disarmament, for two divisions will be sufficient for preserving the general peace of the two Kwongs. After all nothing can be devised for disarmament unless we make up our minds about it. If only a superficial change is made, and the existing number of troops remains as it is, it will not only prejudice the project of disarmament but also no little danger, it is to be feared, will be caused in future.\n\nThe revenues of the Central Government total only 4 million dollars and their expenses amount to several tens of millions of dollars. In view of this our trouble is not because of the non-unification of our financial administration, but because of our failure to carry out the disarmament effectively. Therefore unification of the financial administration can only be effected when disarmament is properly effected, and without disarmament the financial administration can never be unified. Therefore disarmament is the most serious problem we have at present. There has been much comment on our national defences but in reality we are not yet in a position to talk about it since we have as yet no factory for the manufacture of the necessary materials such as sulphuric acid, gun-powder etc. If we do not effect disarmament so as to enable us to have an opportunity for re-constructive work the question of national defence can only be empty talk.\n\n## The Political Situation.\n\nWe have no need to refer to the past political situation because no man was responsible for it. Superficially the present political situation appears to have been much improved.",

        "content_text": "## BRITISH BULLETIN, No 38.\n\nWhy do people waste their time in formulating silly and immoral plans for dealing with the drug curse, instead of, like reasonable beings, prohibiting the sale and use of the drug, except for medical purposes?\n\nThere is no other remedy but prohibition. Prohibition at the source will effect, in a natural order, prohibition in distribution and use. Publish to the world the Black List of the offenders—the manufacturers, the countries that permit illicit trade, the Governments that fail to deal with the evil. Carry out the Hague and Geneva Conventions to the letter. Persuade new-born Turkey to come into the League, and convince both Turkey and Persia that they must—for their own sake, as well as for the world at large—join the comity of nations in one of its most imperative efforts to save the world from the curse of narcotic drugs.\n\nThe recent issues of \"Opium, a World Problem,\" reveal not merely a continuance of the energies of the \"National Anti-opium Association of China,\" but a distinct advance in the enthusiastic zeal which the Association has manifested itself from the date of its inauguration. Their magazine is full of interesting points, even when we venture to think there should be some modification of statement. They are justified in saying that their own efforts are largely counteracted by the steady stream of such drugs as morphine, heroin, and cocaine poured in upon them from abroad. If opium-smoking is prohibited as the National Government proposes, opium addicts can easily obtain morphine and morphine pills supplied from abroad.\n\nWithin their own borders, the obstacle is always the military, as we have seen in recent incidents reported by China correspondents. Opium is at the bottom of most quarrels, such as the Szechwan war and the Yunnan-Kweichow dispute. Yunnan sends a good deal of opium into Kwang-tung, and the Kwang-si Government taxes it in transit, collecting £225,000 a month on Yunnan opium alone. Yunnan retorts by sending the drug by aeroplane. And always the military are the authors of the evil. They regularly fix the rate of transit, pocketing all but what they have to pay in 'squeezes' and bonuses to their agents.\n\nOne interesting point is suggested by our old friend, Dr. Wu Lian-Teh, who has always been an anti-opium enthusiast. He would like to see established an International Narcotic Factory to supply the world's legitimate needs—all other factories to be closed. That would no doubt be ideal, but its impossibility is obvious. There are other means within the power of the League of Nations, if only it would act up to the principles of the Hague and Geneva Conventions.\n\nWhat impresses us in the whole discussion as set forth in these instructive issues of \"Opium, a World Problem,\" is that, if the National Government can get the mastery over the military offenders, they will soon make a clearance of the poppy-fields, as was done between 1907 and 1916, before Yuan Shi-Kai divided the country into military zones, and handed the protection of China to the military rascals who did their worst to ruin the country for their own enrichment.\n\nWe venture on one suggestion—not a prophesy, for that would indeed be rash—that, if the National Government of China continues stable, we may, several years hence, find China to be the dominant and triumphant force in this great campaign. America and China between them may possibly succeed by practical effort where European schemes have largely failed.\n\n## Egypt\n\nWelcome news arrived from Egypt on March 21st that the Egyptian Government is determined to check the drug evil, and had just created a special Narcotic Bureau, under the direction of the Commandant of the Cairo Police. The police appear to have traced one of the chief sources of the supply of heroin, and have arrested two Polish Jews, who were deeply involved in the traffic. Both these Jews hail from Vienna, finding their supplies in the Austrian capital. The Austrian police seem to be actively tracking down their confederates in Vienna.\n\nWhat this means may be better understood from an article in a Cairo newspaper which has been forwarded to us, and which evidently is inspired by the Egyptian Government. Up to ten years ago, the only drug in use was hasheesh, and the number of persons addicted to it was very small. Then came cocaine, and multitudes of people used it, and big fortunes were made by its importers. It is said the vice has spread to every village in the country. In Cairo, in a single year, there were 5,570 convictions for the possession of narcotics. Heroin is bought in Europe at £20 an ounce, and by the time it reaches Egypt, it is worth £45, and the dealers retail it at a higher figure, after adulterating it with boracic acid powder. Of 20,000 persons in prison, 5,000 are drug addicts.\n\nIt is not to be wondered at that the Egyptian Government is alarmed at the prospect of its people being ruined by the drug evil. They estimate that, out of a population of fourteen and a half millions, as many as half a million are affected by it as more or less addicts. The increase of crime and the economic loss caused by the sapping of physical powers are sufficient to arouse the Government to a sense of its national peril. They are to be congratulated on their determination to crush the thing out. They want no monopoly, but absolute prohibition. Or, as we have said, to cut off the snake's tail just behind the ears.\n\nReceived since last acknowledgment—Miss Grey, £1; Miss Aldis, 2s. 6d.; Scottish L. of N.

The Cabinet session to-day was largely devoted to a discussion of limitation of armaments, following Baron Shidehara's report on subject. It is understood authoritatively that the main points of policy agreed upon at this meeting or previously fixed are substantially as follows:\n\n1. Japan is most willing to participate in an Arms Conference seeking a positive reduction, not merely limitation.\n2. Japan is ready to leave the venue and other preliminary details to the Anglo-American discussion.\n3. Japan does not desire to be the host of such Conference.\n4. Japan will support the simplest possible form of the \"yardstick.\"\n\n### Prince George Taking Country Cure.\n\n#### DIGESTIVE TROUBLE.\n\nLondon, July 19. H. R. H. Prince George is indisposed and may have to take a short cure. Interviewed by Reuter, Prince George's Comptroller said the Prince's digestion had been disordered for some few weeks, and dieting was now considered prudent. The Prince has cancelled his public engagements and has temporarily relinquished his duties at the Foreign Office. He is not going to a cure centre, but he will spend as much time as possible in the country. Reuter.\n\nThe Duke of Gloucester, speaking at the Kent Agricultural Show to-day, apologised for the absence of his brother, Prince George, who, he said, was indisposed and may have to undergo a cure which will take a short while.\n\nIt is learned that the Tokyo Government has convinced Baron Matsudaira and Mr. Debuchi that it has been apprised of all Anglo-American disarmament developments and is fully satisfied to allow the early stages of the discussions to continue along present lines. Reuter.\n\nPrince George, who is the King's fourth son, served for some time in the Navy (including service aboard H.M.S. Hawkins China Station), and a few months ago took up duties in the Western Department of the Foreign Office. --British Wireless.\n\n### Positive Reduction.\n\nTokyo, July 20. It is understood that the Cabinet has decided that Japan is willing to participate in the Disarmament Conference which will aim at a positive reduction in armaments and not merely limitation. The venue of the Conference is to be left for Anglo-American arrangement and Japan will support the simplest form of \"yardstick.\" Reuter.\n\n### Not Attending Jamboree.\n\nLondon, July 20. Owing to his indisposition Prince George will be unable to attend the World Scout Jamboree which is to be held at Birkenhead on August 3. -Reuter.\n\n### Taking Things Quietly.\n\nLondon, July 20. Prince George who, as announced yesterday by his brother, the Duke of Gloucester, is slightly indisposed, is suffering from digestion trouble. He has cancelled his public engagements and, owing to medical advice, he has temporarily relinquished his duties in the Foreign Office. Although he is to take things quietly and will diet for a time, steps now being taken are merely precautionary and he is expected to resume his normal activities shortly. -British Wireless.\n\n### THE COAL INDUSTRY.\n\n#### The Premier Meeting Both Sides.\n\nLondon, July 19. The conversations of the Government with the miners and coalowners regarding conditions in the coal industry are being continued. The Prime Minister to-day received representatives of the Miners' Federation and has arranged to meet the coalowners again next Tuesday. The contact will continue during the Parliamentary Recess. -British Wireless.\n\n### ABYSSINIA SLAVERY.\n\n#### The Foreign Secretary Receives a Deputation.\n\nLondon, July 19. The Foreign Secretary, Mr. Arthur Henderson, to-day received a deputation from the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society. They suggested that the temporary Slavery Commission should be revived by decision of the next assembly and that when it had been revived, the documents in possession of the British Government concerning slavery in Abyssinia, concerning raids from Abyssinian into British territory, traffic across Red Sea, etc., should be sent by the British Government to the Commission. In his reply, the Foreign Secretary assured the deputation of the personal sympathy of himself and the Prime Minister, and promised, in consultation with the departments concerned, to give favourable consideration to the proposal which they made concerning the revival of the temporary Slavery Commission. --British Wireless.\n\n### ANGORA BLAZE.\n\n#### Thousand Buildings Said to be Destroyed.\n\nConstantinople, July 19. A considerable portion of the town of Angora has been ravaged by fire. The flames, fanned by a strong wind, caused the destruction of over a thousand shops and houses. The number of dead is unknown, but so far six bodies have been found in the debris. Mustapha Kemal is personally directing the operations of the firemen. Reuter.\n\n### AFGHAN OUTRAGE.\n\n#### Amanullah Supporters Strangled.\n\nPashawar, July 19. It is reported that Hidayatullah, a step-brother of ex-King Amanullah, and three other sympathisers of the deposed ruler have been strangled at Kabul. A section of the Afridis has joined the Waziris in support of Nadr Khan. -Reuter.\n\n### WOMAN BANDIT.\n\n#### Robbery with Unloaded Revolver.\n\nTopeka (Kansas), June 28. A young woman armed with a revolver, which is believed to have been unloaded, forced a citizen to drive her to the headquarters of the Security Benefit Association in a busy part of the city, where she intercepted two employees of the association, and Monarchist and Fascist University students, defying the orders of their rector, demonstrating against the Treaty of Versailles. She took from them a satchel containing $14,000 (£2,800). \"Drop that package or I will blow your insides out,\" she declared. She fled on foot into a nearby building, and escaped, discarding her revolver, which was found without cartridges.\n\n### WAR GUILT.\n\n#### Bonfires to Symbolise Readiness for Defence.\n\n#### GERMAN DENIAL.\n\nBerlin, June 29. A chain of bonfires blazed on every hilltop on Germany's eastern and western frontiers to symbolise readiness to guard the Fatherland. This is the culminating event in Germany's protest against Versailles Treaty. Demonstration throughout the country demanded the restoration of ceded territory, the return of former colonies, the abrogation of the War Guilt clause, and the immediate cessation of all reparations payments.\n\n## Advertisements\n\n### McEWAN'S SPARKLING BEER\n\nMcEWAN'S Red Label SPARKLING BEER is light, 'cool', and refreshing.

The titre of the tallow in a soap may almost be said to be a measure of market value as an ingredient. Thus the better quality soaps have a titre at a higher temperature; thus, a shaving soap would have a titre between 48° C. and 49° C. as against 42°-- 45° C. for a high quality toilet soap.\n\nThis does not mean that such a soap is the only emulsifying agent available—the powder called \"Rinso\" is stated to be highly suitable for the purpose. We are informed that excellent emulsions have been made from the following composition:-\n\n  \n    Trinidad Asphalt Cement\n    (85 to 100 penetration)\n    54.50 per cent.\n  \n  \n    Oleic Acid\n    \n    0.85 to 0.90 per cent.\n  \n  \n    Caustic Soda\n    \n    0.39 to 0.65 per cent.\n  \n  \n    Water\n    \n    Balance.\n  \n\nThe Trinidad Lake Asphalt Operating Co. Ltd., inform us that they would be very pleased to make tests of any type of soap, or other emulsifying agents submitted, and advise upon their suitability.\n\nFor the guidance of Public Work Departments the following are approximate prices (f.o.b. British Port) of the ingredients shown in the specification:\n\n  \n    Refined Trinidad Lake Asphalt\n    ...£7. 19s. Od. per ton.\n  \n  \n    Flux\n    £9. 0s. Od. per ton.\n  \n  \n    Soap\n    ...26s. to 30s. per cwt.\n  \n\nThese prices would require confirmation and are submitted as a rough guide to enable oversea Engineers to compute the cost of making their own emulsion. The price of soap was obtained from quotations in London, but it is probable that it could be materially reduced if an order for an appreciable quantity could be placed.\n\nMETHOD OF PRODUCTION.\n\nA proportion of Refined Asphalt, broken into small chunks, is first melted in the kettle before the addition of the flux, after which the remainder of the asphalt is broken up into the kettle, temperature not being permitted to rise above 150° C. nor to fall below 135° C. until complete blending has been obtained and if a consistency test is to be made it should have a penetration between 85 and 100 degrees when tested at 25° C. under a load of 100 grammes for five seconds. The proportions of flux given above are based on this range of consistency. If a harder or softer base is desired, then, of course, the proportion of flux must be either decreased or increased. Agitation, either mechanical, or by means of a long wooden paddle is desirable.",

Certificates issued will be of value in obtaining employment from the Government or from private firms, in proportion as the Certificates earned indicate a greater or less degree of proficiency.\n\n10. Courses of Instruction:-\n\nEnglish.\n\nOnly students who have attained to a fair standard of proficiency may enter the First Year English Class.\n\nThe First and Second Year English Classes study Correspondence, e.g. Letters containing applications, consignments, agencies, orders, etc., Reading and Conversation, Précis, and Pitman's Business Manual.\n\nA Third Year English Class is open to advanced students only. This Class covers the ground in Political Economy required by the University authorities in the Matriculation Examination.\n\nChemistry.\n\nThe course is designed to be of value to those who wish to acquire a knowledge of everyday chemistry, as well as for candidates for the Examination of the Hong Kong University. The course is essentially practical, every student being trained in the correct methods of manipulation to ensure the highest possible accuracy of results: adjustments in the ordinary scheme of work can always be made to meet the requirements of individual students.\n\nLectures are given at the commencement of each class, thoroughly to explain the practical work to be undertaken. The course is divided thus:\n\nFIRST YEAR: Weighings and measurements in graduated vessels, solution, emulsion, filtration, decantation, distillation. The difference between physical and chemical change. Solubility. The recognition of the simple gases and the preparation of metallic salts. Separation of mixtures.\n\nSECOND YEAR: Preparation of salts. Gravimetric work on the effect of Heat on substances (e.g. bicarbonates, nitrates, etc.). Water of crystallisation, Acids, bases and salts: simple alkalimetry. Analysis of simple salts (one metallic and one acidic radicle).\n\nTHIRD YEAR: Difficult preparations. Volumetric analysis (acids, bases, silver nitrate, oxidising and reducing solutions, etc.). Analysis of mixtures of salts (two metallic and two acidic radicles including phosphates and acetates). Quantitative determination of metals in salts, etc.\n\nThe course will be of considerable value to those who wish to acquire a general knowledge of the subject, and extend their schoolwork.\n\nMetallurgy.\n\nThis course is open to all holding third-year certificates in Practical Chemistry, or to those who possess the requisite knowledge. It covers the reduction of oxides, sulphides, etc., preparation of oxides, sulphides, and silicates; preparation of alloys, cupellation, refining of metals, etc.\n\nPhysics.\n\nThese courses are on the lines of the courses in Chemistry: great attention is paid to correctness of method and care in working.\n\nFIRST YEAR: Elementary measurements: use of instruments (screw gauge, slide callipers, wedge, spherometer, etc.) and graduated vessels (burette, pipette, etc.). Weighings, mass, volume, and density. Properties of matter (elementary). Pressure in liquids. Principle of Archimedes, Boyle's Law.\n\nSECOND YEAR: Elementary mechanics (Triangle and parallelogram of forces, moments, levers). Elementary heat, light, and sound, as for Junior Local Examination.\n\nTHIRD YEAR: Essentially a Matriculation course. Properties of matter. More difficult mechanics. Heat, in greater detail than in the second-year course. Light, including curved mirrors, lenses, and optical instruments: the eye. Sound, including open and closed organ pipes, etc.\n\nTheoretical classes in both Physics and Chemistry could be arranged if desired: there will be in any case a short lecture at the commencement of every practical class.\n\n16",

        "content_text": "134\n\nIn China it would be quite possible to give an agency to a firm without arousing jealousy amongst the others as is the case in Japan, and in my opinion, the best way to conduct and increase business in China would be to appoint a firm having offices in Hongkong and Shanghai, as agent, and to stimulate them by frequent visits of the individual acting as representative in Japan of the manufacturers. This representative could also act as the general Far Eastern representative for the manufacturer.\n\nTrade conditions in China are so complicated that if losses are to be avoided, local and up-to-date knowledge is absolutely essential. The financial position of native firms changes rapidly, and it would be difficult for an individual conducting business for a firm in the Far East to keep up-to-date.\n\nThere are certain points to be considered in the selection of a firm to act as a representative. In China \"face\" is everything, and for this reason it might be thought that the larger and better known a firm, the better they would be as representatives. My experience, however, is that a small sound firm would make a better representative than some of the princely Hongs. Large firms have such ramifications and have so many agencies that unless the agency happens to be an extraordinary good paying one it is apt to be neglected, and that they sit down and wait for business to come to them rather than go out and look for it. The overhead expenses and complicated channels of sale in the bigger firms cost so much, that unless, as I have said, the agency is a paying one, it is not worth their while to take it up seriously, even though stimulated by frequent visits of a principal or senior representative.\n\n## SIBERIA AND THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA\n\nOf late British tinplate manufacturers have begun to turn to Siberia as a possible market for their products. Already considerable trade has been done with the ARCOS Company in London, but purchases made through this department have gone chiefly to the Caspian and Black Sea areas.\n\nThe purchasing of tinplate for the Far East is made by the Soviet trade organisation in Tokyo. This organisation makes its representations and recommendations direct to Moscow headquarters, who usually act on this advice. Certain members of the Tokyo organisation, being expert fishermen themselves, are au fait with the requirements of the trade, and mistakes in sizes and quality are therefore less likely to arise.\n\nIf we wish to increase our trade—and we are already late in the field—we should be prepared to take credit risks, to face possible losses with a view to ultimate gain, and show Russia that we are out to do business.\n\nThis business could be quite easily carried on by the individual selected as the Far Eastern representative for the British manufacturer. It might be necessary for him to occasionally visit Vladivostok, where there is a large can-making factory, and possibly once every few years to visit Saghalien and the Russian fisheries of the Maritime Province, but once the requirements of the trade had been studied, business could be carried on from Tokyo.\n\nIn conclusion, three things appear to be certain—firstly, business can rarely, if ever, be satisfactorily handled under modern conditions by correspondence only without some kind of personal representation in the market; secondly, the selection of agents requires the greatest care and attention; and thirdly, the employment of agents, however trustworthy, does not relieve the firm of the necessity of maintaining close contact with the market. It is, in my opinion, essential that principals should pay frequent visits to all important markets of the firm. While the policy of giving a substantial degree of responsibility to the representative on the spot is advocated, it is impossible for an intelligent selling policy to be maintained by headquarters, unless there is first-hand knowledge there of the market and its developments.\n\nOne important point more there appears more inclination on the part of foreign competitors to grant credit facilities than is the case with British firms, and we undoubtedly suffer in this respect. If credit is to be given, first-class up-to-date information regarding the financial status of firms must be available, and it is not possible for a firm to be kept thus posted unless they have representatives on the spot who can keep in close touch with clients.\n\n**(Signed) R. T. NEVILL**\n\n27th October, 1930\n\n## NOTES ON THE TINPLATE TRADE IN SIBERIA (VLADIVOSTOK) AND MANCHURIA\n\n(Supplementary to Notes, dated 27th October, 1930.)\n\nThe tinplate market in Siberia would at first sight appear to be a most favourable one for manufacturers at home, and will probably increase during the next few years, but this depends entirely on the attitude adopted by them towards trading with the Soviet Government. The chief competitor is, of course, America through the United States Steel Products Corporation. Russia herself is also a competitor in \"oil sizes\" to a limited extent, but the quality is poor and the plates should never be used for food canning although they can be used for oils.\n\nThe two buyers in Vladivostok are The State Fishing Trust, `Soiuzryba`, `A.K.O.` (`Akzionernaya Kamchatka Obshestva`), `A.S.O.` (`Akzionernaya Saghalien Obshestva`), and the `Neft Sindikat`.\n\n|Soiuzryba purchases for|A.K.O. and A.S.O.|\n|---|---|\n|and has the cans made up at|the A.K.O. Can Factory at Churkine across the Bay;|\n|The Neft Sindikat|purchase through ARCOS in England, the kindred organization in the United States, or direct from the Lisvievinsky Tinplate Works at Lisiev, Perm, Urals, and make up their cans themselves.|\n\nIn rush seasons the Nihon Seikan Kaisha Hakodate also make for Soiuzryba, the majority of crab cans having been made there hitherto. Crab cans are now being made at Churkine, as suitable supplies of lacquer have been obtained. Soiuzryba must take approximately 20,000 tons per annum or 400,000 basis boxes, and the Neft Sindikat about 50,000 basis boxes, although this figure is uncertain. Both organizations are subject to control from Moscow, but Soiuzryba appear to have more freedom of action than the Neft Sindikat; and, although not allowed actually to purchase direct, have power to influence the source of supply, in that, being engaged in food canning they cannot be pressed into taking an unsuitable plate.\n\nThe A.K.O. Can Factory at Churkine appears to be well run and managed. Troyer Fox full automatic plant is used, there being two lines running at 200-250 cans per minute.\n\nTrouble has been experienced with the flux used for soldering the vertical seams, and the hydrochloric acid therein caused a great number of last year's cans to become useless through rust.\n\nThey have also had minor troubles with rubber solution for sealing, but these have been overcome and the quality of the cans now produced appears excellent. All plates used are supplied by the U.S.S.P. Corp.\n\n135\n\n324 \n325",

        "content_text": "96\n\n18\n\nR. HOEPPLI AND H. J. CHU.\n\nWen Ch'uan, west of Hei Lung Tang near Peiping.\n\nFour samples were taken from a stone tank where thermal water was stored in the bath-house of Wen Ch'uan. The water temperature in the stone tank was 34° C. All four samples contained representatives of two nematode species.\n\nSozun, Taihoku, Formosa,\n\nOne sample out of two which were taken from the overflow of a sulphur spring at Sozan contained numerous larvæ of a Dorylaimus sp. and a new Monhystrella sp.; at the place of collection the water temperature was 35° C. We wish to thank Prof. Yokogawa of the Government Medical School of Formosa and Mr. T. Koshimura of the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Formosa for facilitating the collection of the material. The thermal water of Sozan is very rich in sulphur.\n\nPHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF THERMAL WATER:\n\nIn his work on the fauna of hot springs in Yellowstone Park and in the Western United States, Brues (1924 and 1928) has discussed the physical conditions of thermal water. It is, therefore, sufficient to mention here only the most essential factors. It is evident that the temperature plays a very important role. From various observations and experiments, one is entitled to draw the conclusion that a temperature of 40-50° C. is about the maximum for most animals normally living in fresh water of atmospheric temperature. Animals which normally live in sea water are much less resistant to higher temperature; transferred into water which was gradually heated various marine animals with two exceptions according to Frenzel could stand only temperatures of 25-30° C. and this only for a few hours. For chlorophyll-bearing plants the upper temperature limit is at about 60° C. The highest temperature from which a free-living nematode has been reported is 53° C. (Dorylaimus therma, Hot Springs in Yellowstone Valley). Apart from this case, free-living nematodes have been found in thermal water of temperatures ranging between 25° C. Ragaz and 40° C. Montegrotto. The species described in the present paper occurred in water of 34.5-51° C. It is interesting to note that in our present material there were only larval stages occurring in water of a temperature above 40° C. Why larvæ apparently stand higher temperatures better than adults is difficult to explain. We merely record our observations. Taken as a whole we find that for most nematodes as for most other fresh water animals a temperature of 40-50° C. is about the upper limit which they can stand.\n\nCHEMICAL CONDITIONS:\n\nBecause we have no analysis of the thermal waters from which we made our collections, we mention only that the two examined springs in Changchow, Fukien, and the spring in Sozan, Formosa, contain sulphur; the latter spring is very rich in this mineral. Most of the thermal waters contain salts in larger or smaller quantities; in some cases, for example, in certain springs in Yellowstone Park, the mineral contents and not the temperature of the water make life impossible for free-living nematodes.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nFree-Living Nematodes from Hot Springs in China and Formosa.\n\nFOOD CONDITIONS:\n\n19\n\nThey have been briefly discussed by the senior author with reference to hot springs in Yellowstone Park. From the work of Menzel, Steiner, and Micoletzky, we know that the kind of food of free-living nematodes and the way they take it, is rather different in different groups. There is no reason to assume that the thermal environment produces changes in the way of feeding and, because most of the species in our present study were found living between algæ, we assume that algæ are the food for those of our forms which have no specially developed large teeth indicating predacious habits.\n\nAltogether we found nine different species of adults; among them one new species for which we created a new genus, Greenia orientalis n.g., n. sp.—four new species belonging to known genera: Plectus chengmohliangi, n. sp., Microlaimoides lingi n. sp., Cyatholaimus chungsani n. sp. and Monhystrella ginlingensis n. sp.—one new variety, Monhystera filiformis var. Jukienensis n. var. three previously described species, Diploscapter coronata (Cobb), 1893, Aphelenchus parietinus Bastian, 1865 and Trilobus aliophysis (Steiner), 1919. Furthermore, there were different larval stages present in our collection; among them a Dorylaimus sp. and a Microlaimus sp.\n\nTECHNIQUE:\n\nThe collected material was preserved in 10% formalin and then transferred to a mixture of 5% acetic acid, 20% glycerin and 75% water. In order to mount the anterior end in frontal view, the specimens were transferred into glycerin jelly.\n\nSPECIAL PART,\n\nGreenia orientalis n.g., n. sp.\n\n(Pl. 11, Fig. 17; Pl. 12, Figs. 21-24).\n\nGreenia generic diagnosis: Cuticle striated. Eight submedial and two lateral setæ at the anterior end. Pharynx very long with strongly cuticularised walls. Behind the mouth opening one dorsal tooth and two subventral teeth. Oesophagus has a bulb without valves. Two straight ovaries. Two spicula of equal length. One testis. A long outlet tube of the spinneret. Amphids oval.\n\nGreenia orientalis n.g., n. sp. diagnosis: Characters of the genus. Two pairs of adanal papillæ. Amphids at about the level of the proximal end of the pharynx.\n\nTwo males and eleven females collected from Changchow in two different wells 5 and 13 feet respectively above the surface of the water. Water temperature in the first case 39° C., in the second 48.5° C.\n\nOne adult female and three larvæ collected from Foochow, Fu Long Ch'uan (Blessing Dragon Spring) stone tank storing thermal water of 35° C.

        "content_text": "Enclosure No.4.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONG KONG, OCTOBER 7, 1932.\n\nTHE BUDGET DEBATE\n\nTHIS year's Budget has met with a favourable reception by the Unofficial members of the Legislative Council. The Government's policy has been, in a word, \"Caution,\" practically interpreted by maintaining a $10,000,000 reserve and by extreme care in pushing on with public works involving heavy expenditure. This is to be accomplished without further taxation for the extension of welfare work and so remarkable an achievement among children in the Colony. A wise humanitarianism is taking root in the Colony and public conscience is being roused to the problems of disease, overcrowding and the many ills of poverty among the great mass of working people living in Hong Kong. These things have little later to been taken for granted. In the past neither the Government nor the wealthier communities have considered the conditions of the labouring class, beyond seeing that law and order and some degree of hygiene were maintained.\n\nMr. W. E. L. SHENTON expressed the general view when he warned the Council, and the Colony, that there is no solid reason for assuming that the economic depression is passing. There are quite as good reasons for thinking that the worst has yet to be faced and the Government would be taking an unjustifiable risk if its estimates and its expenditure were based on a confident expectation of improvement. On the other hand, efficiency must be maintained. A city or a country goes either forward or backward, even if, on the surface, there are periods of quiescence, of waiting for the opportune moment for advance.\n\nTwo matters, however, that do not brook delay are the Shing Mun Valley Scheme and the development of aviation facilities. The Government has given assurance that there will be no hesitation in asking the Council for the substantial sums that will be needed for the completion of the new reservoir. The Shing Mun Scheme is a matter on which there is no second opinion and all are agreed that the work must be completed with the least possible delay and here no question of economy is possible. There was a truce to all past disagreements but a plain indication of the Unofficials' opinion on the necessity for a strong hand should further delays and difficulties arise in the future.\n\nThe other pressing need is for the development of aviation facilities. Until about three years ago it was doubtful whether aviation had made any real emergence from the experimental stage. It looked as if years, if not decades, might pass before flying became either a safe or a commercial proposition. Though this great branch of transport is still in the early stages of development, every sign points to the beginning of an aviation age, as revolutionary as the coming of steam transport by land and sea. There are historic cities and ports that fell behind because they spurned the iron roadway and the steamship, being content with the more picturesque coaches and sailing vessels.\n\nThe Government's reply emphasized the difficulties. These are not light. The Colonial Secretary's reply to the points raised by Mr. SHENTON, Mr. BELL and Mr. BRAGA, if not revealing any great ardour for aviation, showed that the Government is fully aware of the issues and sees practical difficulties not apparent to the enthusiast. Emphasis was laid on the responsibility of the Home Authorities and the small part that the local Government can take in the construction and management of big aviation routes.\n\nA pleasing feature in the debate was the stress laid on the need for a comprehensive review of the needs of the Peninsula. Dr. S. W. Tso advanced the claims of the New Territories about which not a great deal is often heard during a Budget debate. Mr. BRAGA, as usual, spoke eloquently for Kowloon. Though it is obvious that many of the improvements that were urged must of necessity be held over till the definite turn of the world economic tide, good service was done by this clamour for this and that enterprise, innovation and development, unless they can put their fingers on needless extravagance.\n\nWhile a ship is battened down, beating up against the storm with few stitches of canvas closely reefed, there is less scope for criticism of her officers than during easy days when the vessel is running free with a following wind. When all is prosperous and peaceful in Hong Kong the increase of a salary, the building of an official residence, or a few additions to a departmental staff are matters for acrimonious discussion, while the laying out of a new road may become the cause for astounding allegations. Storms are extremely unpleasant, but at least they have the power of drawing out the best in those who weather them. In future times when the dollar is normal and trade booming, controversy may become acid and even personal, and people may look back upon this as the Golden Age when, so it seemed, \"None were for a Party But all were for the State.\"\n\nPage 210\nPage 211",

In both bomb cases it was possible to ascertain the nature of the explosive used.\n\nSeveral children showed symptoms of poisoning after partaking of locally made sweetmeats; it was ascertained that excess of synthetic essences had been used and that the wrapping paper contained aniline dyestuffs which had contaminated the sweets.\n\nDuring the summer a report was made that attempts were being made to poison wells in the Lok Ma Chau area; samples were taken and in no case was any poisonous matter found in the water. In this connection a specimen of suspicious nature, found in one of the wells, was sent for examination; it was identified as a piece of carbolic soap, probably dropped in accidentally. Later in the year a specimen was sent from Hoihow, in connection with a similar scare, and in this case was found to be a mixture of starch and china clay.\n\nNo outstanding cases occurred; the majority of the cases being suicide, opium again being the favourite means. In the case in which mercury was found, death was proved to be through natural causes. The deceased had taken calomel some time before death and mercury, equivalent to 1/3rd grain, was found in the walls of the stomach.\n\n### DANGEROUS GOODS\n\n154 samples coming under the heading of dangerous goods were submitted for examination during the year; the majority were samples of oil fuel, petrol, and kerosene for use in H.M. Ships.\n\nSamples of firecrackers were submitted by the police for presence of illegal constituents, and the usual bi-annual inspections were made of firecracker factories in Kowloon and New Territories and samples brought back for examination.\n\nThe holds and tanks of 72 steamers were examined for the presence of inflammable vapour by means of Clowes-Redwood apparatus.\n\n### FOOD AND DRUGS\n\nTwo hundred and sixty-eight samples of food or drugs were examined during 1932. These comprised samples taken by Inspectors of the Sanitary Department under the Food and Drugs Ordinance, also commercial samples and samples from private persons.\n\n173",

To ensure easy communication, a doorway between the two rooms is being cut. This question of corrosion is becoming important; lack of draught in the fume cupboards and hooded benches is causing considerable damage and it will be necessary to go into the matter of the provision of forced draught not only to prevent corrosion but to safeguard the health of the staff. It is impossible to carry out work of the nature done here without considerable emission of acid and other fumes, but the provision of adequate draught will ensure that the fumes are taken away and do not contaminate the atmosphere in the laboratories.\n\n## EXPENDITURE AND REVENUE FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS\n\n| Year | Total Expenditure | Total Revenue |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1923 | $31,132.14 | $23,769.87 |\n| 1924 | $30,405.92 | $22,616.00 |\n| 1925 | $36,626.42 | $23,000.00 |\n| 1926 | $34,776.52 | $16,422.50 |\n| 1927 | $37,442.88 | $16,146.00 |\n| 1928 | $29,333.98 | $15,562.00 |\n| 1929 | $35,290.43 | $24,974.00 |\n| 1930 | $44,677.95 | $19,891.50 |\n| 1931 | $57,841.16 | $19,295.50 |\n| 1932 | $50,746.44 | $30,604.00 |\n\nPage 178\nPage 179",

It is not, however, known whether any smokers smoked either one or the other indiscriminately according to their inclination at the moment.\n\n33. In several cases, smokers in opium divans were found smoking pills which, on analysis, proved to contain no substance usually classed as a narcotic. Such pills were found always to contain caffeine as the chief constituent, together with quinine, cinchonine, aspirin, or strychnine. The colour was, as a rule, a very pale pink, and the pills were more roughly made than the genuine kind. The number of cases where such were found being consumed in opium divans tended to give rise to the question as to whether caffeine was not the chief ingredient demanded by the smoker, and that heroin was perhaps a refinement unnecessary for the unsophisticated.\n\n34. One small seizure was made of black pills which, in appearance, were similar to the anti-opium pills freely sold twenty years ago in China, in the days of strict opium suppression, and composed mostly of opium dross. Analysis, however, proved them to be ordinary heroin pills of excellent quality, the only difference being that some very persistent blue-black dye was used in the mix instead of the usual red or pink dye. Presumably, the alteration in colour was with the idea of passing them off as ordinary Chinese medicinal pills, many of which are black.\n\n35. Four seizures were made of materials and apparatus for the manufacture of heroin pills; in one case, though the factory was not actually working when raided, work had been suspended not long before. In the other three cases, the materials were not set out and were apparently in the course of removal or arrangement in new premises. The materials seized included the following: refined icing and milk sugar, gum acacia, gum tragacanth, various pink or red dyes, especially fuchine, aspirin, quinine, salicylic acid, strychnine, caffeine in considerable quantity, atoxicocaine, and strong nitric acid. Heroin was actually discovered in one case only. It was reported that the small quantity of heroin required was brought in by the actual owner of the factory just as it was required when all the other constituents had been added. No formula was found, which could be deciphered.\n\n36. In one case, a mass of material was found for making pills of various colours ranging from a very pale to a deep pink and from pale yellow to almost brown. No heroin was found in these pills, but only codeine and caffeine, and two bottles containing a mixture of codeine and caffeine. Though this mixture was not illegal, the person concerned did not claim the material. Though pills of much the same variety of colours were afterwards seized, they were found to contain heroin. No pills containing codeine and caffeine were found elsewhere.\n\nE 11\n\n37. The commonest pill found was the brand called \"Fierce Tiger,\" the latest label, adopted in August last, being in colours showing a large tiger with one paw on a rock with a small bird in flight above. According to enquiries made, the factory is situated in Chinese territory, and the pills, in bags of one thousand each, could readily be purchased in Shanghai. They claim to be made by a firm calling itself the \"Lung Ma foreign firm.\" This brand contains the most heroin, and is always of a deep pink and is the best-made pill of the kind encountered. Seizures were made on ships coming from Shanghai, and in the possession of persons either natives of or coming recently from Shanghai. In one case, a Shanghai pill dealer was arrested in an opium and heroin pill divan with a packet of pills in every pocket; he was on his rounds of the divans to sell them their day's supply.\n\nA certain number of pills come from Kongmoon; these cannot be mistaken for the Tiger brand, being of a light pink shade. A certain number come from Canton, whence came also some of the pill-making material seized.\n\n## VI. DANGEROUS DRUGS\n\n38. Only one seizure of importance was made—that of four pounds of morphia, which was seized en route to Manila together with Red Lion prepared opium. The different weights were written in Chinese on the packages. One small package was rather crude, discoloured morphia, and the majority had been mixed with caffeine, while a loose label was found enclosed giving a long description in Chinese of its efficacy as a cough medicine. After careful analysis, the analyst pronounced that the morphia itself was not very pure originally before its admixture with caffeine and was of the type to be expected from any factory working in rather a crude way.\n\n## VII. OPIUM SHOPS\n\n39. The number of Government shops for the retailing of opium remained at 6, while the number of salaried retailers using their own premises was further reduced to 24, all in the outlying portions of the urban area or in the country districts. By far the greater proportion of the opium sold was retailed through the Government shops, very little being sold in the outlying districts.\n\n## VIII. LEGISLATION\n\n40. An attempt was made by legislation to throw responsibility on the tenants of a floor or building who knowingly permitted any portion of their premises to be used as an opium divan by their sub-tenants. Several convictions were obtained until one magistrate held that, as the person generally known as the \"Principal Tenant\" had parted with the control of the cubicle, bed-space, or cock-loft by the fact that he sub-let, he\n\n283",

The express locomotives performed their work extremely well and were often called upon to haul loads very much in excess of those they were designed for.\n\n56. Engines Nos. 13 and 14, Hudswell Clarke Saddle-Tank six-wheel coupled shunting engines, were retired from service. These engines were built in 1906 and had new boilers fitted in 1922. They were put up for survey and have now been condemned as of no further use on this Railway.\n\n57. Engines Nos. 1 and 2 were withdrawn from Main Line traffic and put on the shunting work in place of Nos. 13 and 14. With this change the smoke nuisance in Chatham Road and Kowloon Station area was considerably reduced.\n\n## MOTOR COACHES\n\n58. Motor coaches Nos. 1 and 2 were redesigned internally and fitted with lavatories.\n\n## COACHING STOCK\n\n59. First-class coaches:-No. 22, first-class dining car, on account of being badly damaged by white ants, had to be rebuilt.\n\n60. Second-class coaches:-Nos. 20 and 32 were overhauled and repainted; the latter being converted into a third-class.\n\n61. Third-class coaches:-Nos. 4 and 5 were rebuilt as second-class coaches. No. 13 was rebuilt and painted.\n\n## GOODS WAGONS\n\n62. The following 15-ton wagons were in the shops for rebuilding-No. 16 damaged by acid at Kowloon Station and No. 23 owing to its general condition. No. 31 underwent heavy repairs.\n\n63. The following 30-ton wagons were in the shops for rebuilding-Nos. 61 and 65. Four 30-ton wagons were converted for carrying live fresh fish. Heavy repairs were carried out on 30-ton wagons Nos. 74, 80 and 91.\n\n## WORKSHOPS\n\n64. During the year only five machines were overhauled, namely, wheel lathe, radial drilling machine, small air compressor which was also converted from gear drive to belt drive, planing machine and Churchill surface grinder. The lighting system of the Works was changed and re-wired by Public Works Department.\n\nThe \n\n503",

        "content_text": "# \n\n## Composition of Milk and Its Nutritional Value\n\n66. The fat, which is of importance both as an actual source of energy and of building material, is also the vehicle for vitamins A and D. The fat is present in the form of an extraordinarily fine emulsion, which probably makes it very susceptible to the attack of fat-splitting enzymes. Probably, too, the high content of unsaturated fatty acids makes it of particular value to the organism. As regards the content of vitamins, it has been shown that it is variable, being at its maximum in summer when the cows are at pasture.\n\n67. The carbohydrate exists in the form of lactose, a sugar which is not very susceptible to the attack of yeasts. Possibly one of its main assets is the fact that, unlike dextrose and cane sugar, it is comparatively free from sweetness, so that in this way milk does not become nauseating or even distasteful. Although lactose is not readily fermentable by yeasts, it is very open to attack by certain micro-organisms, such as occur, for example, in the souring of milk.\n\n68. The salt content of human milk is about three times less than that of cows' milk. The content of lime in the ash of milk is about the same in both milks, whereas cows' milk is richer in phosphorus. These various salts of milk yield a basic ash which, on consumption, may play an important rôle in the maintenance of the acid-base balance in the tissue fluids.\n\n69. When one speaks of milk as a food in general terms, it is commonly assumed that the reference is to cows' milk. It must not, however, be overlooked that, good as a food though cows' milk may be, it is not the ideal nutriment for the human infant. It must be emphasised that the milk secreted by the female of any species is peculiarly fitted for the maintenance, and perhaps even more particularly the rate of growth, of the young of the same species. This special and unique correlation of the quality of the many different milks with the physiological factor of growth is most clearly brought out, emphasising at the same time the really fundamental importance of milk as a food, in the following table:-\n\n| Animal | Protein | Salts | Calcium | Phosphoric acid | Period in days required to double birth weight |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Human | 1.6 | 0.2 | 0.03 | 0.05 | 180 |\n| Horse | 2.0 | 0.4 | 0.12 | 0.13 | 60 |\n| Cow | 3.5 | 0.7 | 0.16 | 0.20 | 47 |\n| Goat | 3.7 | 0.8 | 0.20 | 0.28 | 19 |\n| Sheep | 4.9 | 0.8 | 0.25 | 0.29 | 15 |\n| Pig | 5.2 | 0.8 | 0.25 | 0.31 | 9 |\n| Cat | 9.5 | 0.7 | ... | ... | 7 |\n| Dog | 7.4 | 1.3 | 0.45 | 0.51 | 8 |\n| Rabbit | 10.4 | 2.5 | 0.89 | 1.00 | 6 |\n\n## TABLE 4. Composition of milk of various animals. 100 parts of milk contain.\n\n70. This table renders it very evident that there is a marvellous adaptation of the lacteal secretion to the needs of the developing organism, and, secondly, that the ideal food for the human infant is human milk, and, indeed, probably the milk of its own mother.\n\n71. Although it is clear that the mother's milk is unquestionably the best for the infant, cows' milk in one form or another is the most commonly employed substitute when for any reason the mother's supply is deficient or absent. Provided it is pure, it is or can be rendered a good substitute.\n\n### (d) The effect of pasteurisation on the constituents of milk.\n\n72. In what follows, the term pasteurisation applies almost exclusively to treatment by the holding process in which the milk is heated to a temperature of 145°-150° F. for half an hour. In appraising evidence concerning the nutritional value of milk so pasteurised, it is necessary to remember that any faults which may be attributed to it are exaggerated when the processing is carelessly conducted. Observations made without due inquiry as to details in the treatment actually received by the milk employed may therefore tend to obscure the issue.\n\n73. Of the chief organic constituents of milk, the fat and sugar suffer no appreciable change during the treatment, and though the fate of the proteins calls for some discussion, there is adequate evidence to show that their essential physiological value is unaffected. It may be said, indeed, without hesitation that there is no evidence to show that the process has any effect upon the value of milk as a source of energy to the body or as a supply of formative material for the living tissues in general. On the other hand, there is evidence for the occurrence of certain significant changes of...",

The practical significance of alterations such as these calls for discussion.\n\n74. A few words, however, may be first devoted to the question of the proteins. Some 5 per cent. of the lactalbumin may be coagulated during the holding process, but this represents a very small proportion of the total protein present, and is in any case not necessarily lost from the milk as consumed. While the essential nutritional value of the proteins, when digested, is unimpaired, the question whether they remain equally digestible after pasteurisation has been much debated and has led to many experimental inquiries. Experiments *in vitro* have suggested that the proteins of raw milk are somewhat more open to the influence of the digestive ferments than they are after pasteurisation, but the results described have varied with the conditions of experiment, and in no case have the conditions been such as occur *in vivo*. Normal digestion of the proteins does not begin while they are in the colloid form displayed in milk. When the fluid, raw or pasteurised, enters the stomach, the casein is coagulated and rendered insoluble, and on this solid form the digestive ferments act with special readiness. In the adult, such coagulation is due to the acidity of the gastric juice; in the infant, to the action of the ferment rennin. The case of the infant is the more important, and the effect of pasteurisation on coagulation by rennin has been frequently investigated (Lane-Claypon, 1916). Laboratory experiments have shown that it may be somewhat slowed, but the circumstance is of little significance. The stages of the normal gastric digestion of milk proteins are not easy to reproduce outside the body. For a final decision as to whether pasteurisation has any significant effect on their digestibility, reliance must be placed rather on experiments made with living animals, or, better, with infants. In such experiments, the percentage nitrogen loss through the bowel, due to incomplete digestion, is compared when milk, raw or pasteurised respectively, is fed. A survey of the data published during a number of years leaves the complete conviction that any effect of pasteurisation on the digestibility of the milk proteins may be dismissed as wholly unimportant for practical issues.\n\n75. The same cannot be said of the effect on the availability of those important mineral constituents, calcium and phosphorus, on which the growth of the skeleton makes a continuous call. It has long been known that when milk is heated, a proportion of the lime and phosphoric acid it contains are precipitated together in an insoluble form. Once again, however, direct experiment must decide whether this change is such as to affect appreciably the nutritional value of the milk, or, incidentally, whether any other",

        "content_text": "## 84. It should not be forgotten that fresh untreated cows' milk in the amounts normally consumed contains a supply of this vitamin no more than barely adequate for the needs of the infant, and from cows not on pasture it may at times be inadequate. The further reduction due to heating, if uncorrected, may therefore be serious. Fortunately a correction for any deficiency is easily made by the administration of the juice of citrus fruits, oranges or lemons, now so easily obtainable throughout the year, or even of the juice expressed from scraped swedes and (less potent) from raw potatoes. In any of these the concentration of the vitamin is out of all proportion greater than in fresh milk. Few will deny to-day that such additions to the food of infants are desirable, whether they are consuming pasteurised or raw milk.\n\n## 85. The remaining known vitamins require less attention in this discussion. Some have functions remote from those affecting infant nutrition.\n\n## 86. A supply of vitamin A is necessary for the promotion of growth and the maintenance of health. Cows' milk, however, contains it in relatively large amount, and though it is destroyed when heated in the presence of oxygen, there is no evidence that pasteurisation has anywhere been directly responsible for such nutritional disorders as are known to follow upon lack of this vitamin.\n\n## 87. Several vitamins with distinct functions are comprised in what has become known as the \"B complex.\" Of these, only two, B1 and B2, call for reference here. B1, which is concerned in maintaining normal conditions in the nervous tissues is present in relatively small amounts in milk, and it is not resistant to heat. Nevertheless, though symptoms attributed to B1 deficiency in the milk supply have occasionally been observed in infants and proved to be curable by giving yeast preparations as a source of the vitamin, no evidence has come to light showing that pasteurisation has by itself been responsible for such conditions. B2, of which a deficiency leads to the disease pellagra, is relatively abundant in cows' milk and is resistant to heat at higher temperatures than those involved in pasteurisation. It may be said with some assurance that in connection with nutrition of children, the only vitamins of which a deficiency in milk is serious are those known as C and D.\n\n## 88. This brief review of available knowledge indicates that the only effects of pasteurisation of milk which call for serious consideration are, diminished availability in its lime and phosphorus, and a lessened anti-scorbutic power. The practical importance of these defects calls for some closer appraisement.\n\n## 89. It is perhaps only in relation with infant feeding that they can possess significance. Older children seldom depend on milk alone for their supply of the vitamins C and D, and the benefit of a milk ration when added to the average diets consumed say by children in institutions, while unmistakable and even unexpectedly great, would seem to be exerted by pasteurised no less than by raw milk (Mann, 1926). The acid test for any significant nutritional faults in pasteurised milk must be sought in its effects upon infants when it is fed to them without additions.\n\n## 90. With regard to the effect of the treatment on the minerals of the milk, if it results in nutritional errors, an increase in the liability of infants to rickets would be the most likely indication of these. As already remarked, while minor degrees of rickets are common among infants to-day, cases of the acute or florid disease, leading to chronic conditions and to permanent bone deformities, are in most districts much less common now than they were a generation ago. This is doubtless due to a general improvement in the methods of feeding infants, together with the custom—essentially modern—of taking them freely into the open air, and thus incidentally exposing them more frequently to sunlight. There is no clear evidence that the disease shows less signs of abatement in districts where the greater part of the milk supply is pasteurised than in others where it is not.\n\n## 91. With regard to scurvy, although there is such abundant evidence to show that the disease inevitably follows when adolescents and adults are deprived of vitamin C for periods sufficiently long, and that cases were frequent among infants in post-war Europe, yet nowhere in this country to-day is overt infantile scurvy other than a rare disease.\n\n## 92. It was, however, apt till lately to appear in institutions, and probably it is only the typical clinical picture of the established disease that is so rarely seen. It is at any rate noteworthy that well-attested observations have shown that minor and less easily recognisable symptoms of scurvy may on occasions arise when pasteurised milk is fed alone. At a large clinic in New York, for instance, infants when fed on it were customarily given a ration of fruit juice and were free from scurvy. When an American investigation committee had reported that the nutritional value of pasteurised milk was apparently equal to that of raw milk, the fruit juice was for a time given up.

        "content_text": "4\n\nUNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG\n\nFACULTY OF MEDICINE\n\nThe Hon. D.M.S.\n\nSir,\n\n42\n\n7th January, 1938.\n\nYou have asked me to give you a short report on the work done by members of the Department of Physiology and students of the Medical Faculty during the recent cholera epidemic.\n\nTwo students, Fung Ching Wen and Varga, volunteered to help with the work in the G.C.H., and they continued right throughout the epidemic. For a full report of their work, I must refer you to Dr. Shaw.\n\nThe first contact I had with the work was about the middle of August, when Dr. Shaw asked if we could help in certain difficulties being experienced in taking the specific gravity of the blood. This we were able to do, and it was then that Dr. Shaw asked if I would be interested in the cases of oedema which were appearing amongst the convalescent patients.\n\nThis oedema question we soon found to be very complicated, and in order to get at the real cause, we had to initiate and complete an investigation into the urine and blood chemistry of a large number of patients. Providing the apparatus is to hand, the most important things in such a project are (a) a free hand in the hospital and (b) a well-organised team of willing laboratory workers. The former was readily given, and I cannot thank the doctors and the sisters too much for their help, for when they had their hands so full with urgent work, it must have been irksome to have outsiders trying all sorts of new stunts and blocking up the steady, necessary outflow of patients. The organised team of laboratory workers I was also fortunate enough to have. Drs. Ling and Cheng, in order to carry out this heavy programme, in addition to keeping pace with the blood and urine samples, had to devise methods of analysis so that all our investigations could be made on one small sample of blood; two of their methods, namely blood urea and non-protein-nitrogen, using 0.6 ccs of blood, were especially creditable, and their new methods are being published quite soon. Their work was all done in the Physiology laboratory and is, in fact, still being carried on; there was so much coming in from the hospital that they had to carry the tests to a point where they could be left without deterioration, and they are now being completed. The work of Dr. Lim and myself was done in the wards and in the laboratory.\n\nDr. Lim had just been up to the Henry Lester Institute in Shanghai learning the technique for estimating pyruvic acid in blood; he undertook this aspect of the work and found in most of the convalescent cases high pyruvic acid values indicating a vitamin B1 deficiency. A number of the oedema cases showed the same deficiency clinically. I am not in a position yet to form an opinion as to the cause of this; it may be that the tremendous dehydration plus transfusion treatment depletes the body of all its B1; it may be that these processes are at work in individuals who, by the nature of their meagre diet, were already lacking in B1 before the onset of the cholera; I feel both these play a part; but what is definitely certain in my mind is that the diet in these cases, if not in all hospital cases in Hong Kong, should have its B1 content raised.\n\nIt often happens in investigations of this kind, one is side-tracked by cases of a different and more urgent nature.

        "content_text": "2\n\nThe Chinese Government considers that it will be able to control this cholera epidemic, which will probably die down during the winter, but there is grave fear of its re-appearance next spring, in view of the large number of refugees now dispersed throughout the country.\n\nI can add nothing to the technical memorandum presented by the Health Section and the able exposé just made by Dr. Biraud, but shall be happy to telegraph for any further information from my Government which you may desire. I would merely emphasise the fact that, in addition to cholera, epidemics of dysentery and typhoid have broken out, and that plague is spreading in the Province of Fukien, endangering the adjacent provinces.\n\nIn order to cope with this situation, we have mobilised our entire medical staff, including medical students and student nurses. My Government believes that we have sufficient medical and nursing staff for general or special hospitals that may be organised; but there is a lack of experienced surgeons. Our Health Administration has therefore addressed a letter to the diplomatic representatives in Nanking and to the International Red Cross Committee at Geneva, requesting international assistance in this field.\n\nWhile medical staff is available locally, medical supplies of all kinds are seriously lacking. Government stocks and reserve stocks on the market are almost entirely exhausted. Thus the present stock of therapeutic and prophylactic sera will barely last for three months, while there is only a month's supply of essential drugs such as aspirin, quinine, antipyrin, salicylic acid, bromose, and cardiac, expectorant and diuretic medicaments. The Chinese authorities have already placed orders for those most urgently needed but the means at their disposal are limited. One of the most experienced officials of our National Quarantine Service has been sent to Hong Kong to organise a despatch and reception service.\n\nIn regard to the organisation of a new plan of technical collaboration between the League of Nations and China for the prevention and control of epidemics, and in view of the Council and Assembly decisions on this subject, the Health Administration of China asks me to make you the following suggestions:-\n\nSpecial efforts should be concentrated on five areas, preferably the Provinces of Kwangtung, Hupeh, Kiangsi, Shensi and Kiangsu. For each region the League of Nations might send a group consisting of a foreign Epidemic Commissioner, a sanitary engineer, a mobile anti-epidemic section with a foreign bacteriologist and an isolation hospital with foreign doctor. Each group should have a motor-car, two ambulances and 10 light lorries; for these cars chauffeurs can be found locally but a foreign mechanic would be required for their upkeep. The Chinese Government does not consider the advent of any foreign female staff to...",

        "content_text": "# International Situation\n## HOUSE OF COMMONS\n\n[Sir A. Sinclair.]\n\nThe problem of colonies, because I do not suppose that the statesmen of all countries concerned meeting round a table would accept the solution which I should suggest, but I would ask the Government whether they agree that a solution of the colonial problem must be found on the basis of three principles. First, trusteeship for the interests of the natives, with guarantees for their welfare and against the militarisation and conscription of the natives, and trusteeship in the interests of civilisation, that is to say, free access to the raw materials and food supplies to be found in these countries to the merchants and traders of the whole world. I know that there is a difference of opinion between hon. Members opposite and myself about the proper interpretation of the principle of trusteeship, but I think we are united in saying that these twin principles should be the foundation of colonial policy and not the contrary principle of exploitation. I want to know whether the Government are holding firm to the principle of trusteeship.\n\nSecondly, will the Government agree that all Powers with colonial interests must be consulted and that the smaller Powers must not only be told after consultations have taken place between the four big Powers what they have to contribute but that they must be in at the beginning of the conversations, and also that all Powers with colonial claims should be there too so that the whole question can be thrashed out. Then, whatever the solution is, it must not really amount to the offer of a mandated territory in order to buy a few months' peace from Germany. If there is to be any solution of this colonial problem it must be as part of a general settlement, and the acid test of that general settlement must be a measure of general disarmament.\n\nThat is the test of the sincerity of any peace settlement. Further, I would ask the Government whether they do not agree that the basis of general disarmament should be the remaining in force of the Anglo-German Treaty limiting the size of the German navy to one-third of ours, while on the other hand, I would agree that the size of the British army should not be more than one-third of the size of the German, and, in the third place, seeing that this country offers the most exposed and tempting target to air attack of any country in the world, I say that we must demand, as Lord Baldwin said that a national Government of all conceivable governments must demand most persistently and resolutely that in the air we must have air parity with any air force within striking distance of our shores. If the Prime Minister goes out for peace on these lines we are with him. It must not be a peace of compliance with the tyrant's will but a peace based on justice, on the principles of the League of Nations; a peace of the sincerity of which the acid test will be disarmament.\n\n## Mr. R. H. Morgan\nThe right hon. Gentleman has said Great Britain and France no longer count. Seeing that Great Britain and France are the mainstays of the League of Nations at the present time, are not all these things which the right hon. Gentleman deplores due to a breakdown of the League of Nations rather than to any default by this country?\n\n## Sir A. Sinclair\nIf I were to answer the hon. Member fully I think it would take up a good deal of time, but let me say that I did not say that Great Britain and France did not count. I said that they are not counting now East of the Rhine, and I think that is true.\n\n6.24 p.m.\n\n## Mr. Donner\nBefore I attempt to give an answer to some aspects of the speech of the right hon. Gentleman I should like to offer an apology to the House because a previous engagement this evening will prevent me from staying to the end of the Debate. I want to make the apology now lest any hon. Member should think I have no interest in listening to the rest of the Debate. The right hon. Member for Caithness and Sutherland (Sir A. Sinclair) has on many occasions given me the impression that he possesses a sense of international morality superior to that of anyone else in the House. Again and again, as he has done this evening, he brings up the old question of Abyssinia, which I thought was dead and buried by now. When the present Home Secretary, then the Foreign Secretary, delivered his personal explanation to this House on the occasion of his resignation on the question of Abyssinia, he showed in his speech that not a single Power save Australia and New Zealand took any precautionary military measures whatever.\n\nThese two Dominions sent cruisers across the Indian Ocean through the Red Sea into the waters of the Mediterranean. It was evident from this fact that the League of Nations from that moment failed to function, and I held, and still hold, the view that there was a moral obligation upon the League and upon every hon. Member when that happened, to recognise the fact and to do something to compensate, if I might use the word, Haile Selassie, the Emperor of Abyssinia.\n\nThe only endeavour to save a part of Abyssinia for the Emperor was the Hoare-Laval pact which saved him something from the wreck, but the right hon. Gentleman was not one of those who supported it. He denounced it and those of us who supported it, despite the fact that many of us regarded such an endeavour as a moral obligation which should be carried out. The right hon. Gentleman also spoke of 30 divisions which had now been released from the Czechoslovakian frontiers and which can now be turned upon France.\n\nThat is the spirit which cannot possibly lead to appeasement, and which will never bring peace in Europe. I have heard the right hon. Gentleman deliver many speeches in this House. I should like to say, not too offensively I hope, that that is a sentiment which lies like a stone on the spirit. He says that we cannot trust the word of a dictator.\n\n## Sir A. Sinclair\nThe difference is between those who are loyal to the rule of law and those who regard the national will as the sole motive of their policy.\n\n## Mr. Donner\nI do not want to misrepresent the right hon. Gentleman, but I understood from his speech that he made it perfectly plain that he does not trust Herr Hitler's word. I say that the best way in which to make a man keep his word is not to throw doubt upon it. When the Prime Minister came to this House in the recent special Session and delivered his speech, every hon. Member jumped to his feet and wished him Godspeed. I do not remember the right hon. Gentleman saying that it was no use going to Munich, on the grounds that we could place no reliance on Herr Hitler's word. The right hon. Gentleman has spoken of the encirclement of Germany, although he did not use that word. I believe that the day of the encirclement of Germany is past and over. We must approach this subject in a new spirit, with a new mental orientation. The right hon. Gentleman's whole speech from the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia to the point when he thought that 30 divisions would be moved to the Western front revealed that he distrusts Germany and believes that Germany desires war and that the best way to deal with Germany is to encircle her. The question whether you can permanently keep in subjection a great nation of 80,000,000 people is practical politics or not is over. That belongs to the past. The right hon. Gentleman thinks in terms of a war of prevention. Those days are over long ago. It might have been the right policy in 1925 as some people in France believed, but it cannot be wise to wait until Germany is fully armed and then adopt a policy of encirclement.\n\nThe right hon. Gentleman proceeded and spoke of the Polish irruption into Teschen. I do not desire to make any excuses at all for what has happened, but I would remind him of the history of that incident. In the year 1920 Poland was fighting Soviet Russia and the Bolshevists were at the gates of Warsaw. The Czechoslovakian Government, taking advantage of Poland's hour of danger and difficulty, seized Teschen and even prevented equipment and supplies reaching Poland from Hungary. I do not say that I agree with either action, nor do I justify either, but I say it reveals and represents the kind of spirit which I believe still lives in the right hon. Gentleman, a spirit which cannot lead to peace and can end only in war.\n\nReference was made earlier in the Debate to the economic results of the Munich Agreement. I suggest to the House that if it is possible for Germany to expand economically in South Eastern Europe, that is a matter which should not cause us anxiety, but is rather a development which we should welcome. I believe that German economic expansion in South Eastern Europe is natural, just as our economic expansion in the Dominions and Colonies overseas is natural. If we can help Germany to increase her trade in South Eastern Europe, we shall be assisting her to raise the standard of living there as well as her own, and I believe that if there is a contented Germany, which does not merely exist, but in which there is a decent standard of living maintained and made possible, then there will be a greater chance of living in Europe in peace.\n\n6.39 p.m.",

        "content_text": "82 \n\n# THE DOCK AND HARBOUR AUTHORITY \n\n## Correspondence - continued \n\nThis question is fully dealt with in my report, the recommendation being the reclamation of an area of over 240,000 square feet opposite Kellett Island, for the purpose of deflecting from the refuge entrance heavy seas caused by a typhoon which may pass near and to the north of the Colony; typhoons in this position induce gales from a westerly direction, one of the worst experienced being that in 1908. \n\n## Ferries \n\nFerries across the harbour and the transport of passengers to and from Hong Kong by river steamboats is an important consideration which has to be taken into account in any scheme of development. \n\nLater on, I shall refer to one important reason for the great movement which goes on in Hong Kong. For the moment, suffice it to say that, apart from the considerable amount of passenger transport done by sampans, the number of passengers moving to and from Hong Kong Island and the Mainland, Canton, Macao, etc., is estimated to be about 175,000 per day. The Yaumati Ferry Co., organised and managed entirely by local Chinese, runs the vehicular ferries across the harbour and two other services to points on the mainland in British territory. In addition to the large number of vehicles ferried the company carries about 40 million passengers a year; i.e., about 100,000 per day. The Star Ferry Co., the oldest ferry service, crossing direct over the shortest width of the harbour to Kowloon Point, carries approximately 28,000 per day. \n\nFor the better regulation of this traffic and to relieve as far as possible congestion on Connaught Road, I recommend in the Scheme of Development which I advised should be put into immediate effect at Hong Kong Central, and to which I shall refer later on, that the ferry piers be located at each end of the scheme from which Eastern and Western services respectively would operate. By this arrangement the routes of ferry services would not pass through an area likely to be used extensively by other craft. The vehicular ferry service recommended was put into effect and, from what Sir David Owen says, the traffic has apparently already reached capacity. To provide for future increase in this traffic he suggests another service to operate between Marsh Road, Wanchai and Gillies Avenue, N.E. corner of Hung Hom Bay. This proposal was first mooted by the Director of Public Works in 1922 (the late Mr. T. L. Perkins, C.M.G.), and it was fully discussed in connection with Town Planning. Whilst I considered the proposal, so far as the Hong Kong side was concerned, had much to commend it, by dissipating the traffic, and, if not relieving, at any rate not adding to the great congestion already existing at Hong Kong Central, I raised objection to the site proposed for the pier on the Kowloon side, that location, in my opinion, being eminently suited to the purpose of providing for the discharge, storage and bunkering of coal and oil fuel. For that reason the Town Planning Committee advised the Government not to alienate the area referred to or in fact any area of Hung Hom Bay pending the adoption of a complete scheme of Port Development. \n\n## Coal and Oil Fuel Bunkering \n\nIn 1923 import of coal amounted to 1,037,530 tons and the amount exported was only 205,140 tons. But the amount bunkered was 606,060 tons. \n\nWith the exception of that imported by the Admiralty, and by local industrial and shipping companies coal is handled by lighters and storage is located principally at Yaumati and Lai Chi Kok. Excepting Admiralty storage; oil installations are at Taikoktsui, Lai Chi Kok and North Point. As bunkering of coal and oil by lighters is so dependent on labour and costly (made more so by the fact that storage is located some distance from the shipping centre) I considered that, in any scheme of development, provision should be made in a convenient locality whereby more economic bunkering of vessels could be accomplished. \n\nThe locality I considered best suited is that referred to above, viz.: the N.E. corner of Hung Hom Bay. The design of the coal depôt and oil fuel installations recommended was suitable for the erection of mechanical conveyors and pipe lines whereby coal and oil fuel may be delivered direct from colliers and tankers to storage and loaded to ships at piers or to barges in a basin thus providing for the more economical handling of this trade. The scheme, which could be put into effect independent of the development of Hung Hom Bay, was estimated to cost $2,290,000 (in 1924, roughly £285,000). \n\n## Reclamation \n\nThis work is largely a matter of supply and demand; and the practicability of economic construction not only in regard to protective works, but also to the cost of reconstructing drainage works in back areas such as over the thickly-populated area abutting on the Harbour of Refuge on the west side of Kowloon Peninsula. But there is, however, another consideration, viz.: the effect that reclamation may possibly have on other sections of the harbour. \n\nThe bold scheme of reclamation, immediately to the West of the R.N. Dock Yard suggested by one of my former assistants, Mr. Andrew Nicol, is an excellent one. If/when its construction is contemplated the question of its effect on the R.N. Dock entrance will no doubt be raised. In my opinion the effect will be beneficial, in that it will at least help to maintain, if it does not slightly increase, the depth of water outside the entrance. \n\n41 \n\nRegarding the extensive areas of reclamation proposed in Kowloon Bay: I see no objection to their being carried out when required. With the exception of that on the Eastern side which is shown extended to embrace Kun Tong foreshore, the limits are approximately those laid down by the Town Planning Committee. Foreshores inside Lye Mun: In my report I recommended that the foreshores immediately within Lye Mun (“Mun” in Chinese meaning an entrance passage or doorway) viz.:-Chung Lui and Yau Tong Wan (\"Wan\" in Chinese meaning a \"Bay\") \"should remain as far as possible in their natural state, so that seas entering the harbour through the Eastern entrance may disperse and expend their force rather than be propagated up the harbour.\" The proposal to construct boat-building yards in Yau Tong Wan is not an extensive reclamation, but this question will not arise unless the recommendation to construct the harbour of refuge at Cheung Sha Wan is adopted. \n\nLimitation of space will, I am sure, preclude further comment on any more of the many adjuncts to shipping and trade: so I must now ask permission to proceed in my next and concluding letter to make some observations on what perhaps is the most important part of this subject, viz.:-The Provision of Wharfage. \n\nWestbury-on-Trym, \nBristol. \n4th February, 1942. \n\nYours faithfully, \nJOHN DUNCAN, \n\n## Concrete in Sea Water \n\n*Paper Published in the June, 1941, issue of \"The Dock and Harbour Authority,\" reproduced from the Proceedings of the American Society of Civil Engineers.* \n\nMr. E. C. Jack, Senior Civil Engineer at Puget Sound Navy Yard: Any viewpoint of the subject of concrete in sea water should be somewhat philosophical, in that disintegration or deterioration may or may not be serious, depending upon the rate and keeping in mind the anticipated life of the structure. So many of the construction people with whom the writer does business consider 10 or 20 years a long time, and anything that might happen after that they believe is immaterial. However, one needs only to look back over the centuries to realise that this matter of ships is a long range, continuing one extending far into the future. The U.S. Navy is primarily interested in ships, and waterfront improvements to serve the ships should be provided with an eye to a life of at least 100 years. Thus, what to one person might be negligible breaking up of the structure, to another would be a serious indication when a long life has been planned. \n\nIt has been noted that, in almost all cases where disintegration of one kind or another has taken place, there are contributing factors upon which the onus of the situation can be placed, thus clearing sulphate attack of the charge. Nevertheless, it is agreed with Mr. Hadley that the weakness of concrete toward sulphate attack has perhaps been over-stressed. Chemists have their catalytic agents and Metallurgists their eutectics; and, in a similar manner, is it not probable that the weakness of concrete toward sulphate and acid attacks makes possible the disintegration, by other means, such as wave and frost action, abrasion, and chemical action? In several places in Alaska, notably at Kodiak and at Dutch Harbour, concrete has met with progressive disintegration between tide lines, whereas the remainder of the structure has withstood weathering very well for 25 years. Surely these cases must be a combination of sea-water attack plus frost and wave action. \n\nCement is a wonderful material that has been improved remarkably through the years, and its comparatively low cost, together with the rather universal distribution of the mills throughout the United States, makes possible the building of many structures that would have been impracticable years ago. It is far from perfect, however, and it may be well to review the most well-known weakness of cement and concrete. \n\n## Aggregate \n\nThe quality and usefulness of concrete, with present-day cements, demand that aggregate be sound, chemically neutral or basic, and free of oil and other deleterious substances, in addition to being well graded. Thus, in some localities, concrete is very costly because of the distance from which aggregate must be brought. On St. Paul Island, in Bering Sea, it was necessary, one time, to carry gravel by ship from San Francisco, California. If cement acted slightly different chemically, then a wider range of aggregate might be used. \n\n## Proportioning \n\nThe mixture must be a proper one with sufficient cement, and this item of cement, too, is relative: Witness the \n\n74",

The Fixed Defence Station was situated at Taitam at the foot of the Reservoir Dam.\n\n2.\n\nOrder for the destruction of the Fixed Defence Station were promulgated in `S.X.one` and two Mark VII Depth Charges were placed, one in the Instrument Room and the other in the Generator Room; the D/C's were wired for firing electrically and a length of cable was prepared in readiness. The Officers and Ratings were then exercised in the procedure to be carried out in an emergency.\n\n3.\n\nAt 0400 on the 19th of December, 1941, a message was received from the Extended Defence Officer at Battle Headquarters of the Japanese landings at Taikoo and Lyemun and the Depth Charges were wired up, primers and detonators inserted and the cable run out in readiness for firing. At 0800 a further message was received from the Extended Defence Officer instructing the station personnel to destroy all Confidential Books and Papers. The question of the Destruction of the F.D.S. the Extended Defence Officer left to the discretion of the Commanding Officer of the Station.\n\nThe Confidential Books and all papers were then immediately destroyed by fire. After a short conference with his senior watchkeeping officer and Engineer Officer, the Commanding Officer decided to destroy the station forthwith as it was realised that since the Japanese had landed, the station ceased to serve any useful purpose.\n\n(This was a fortunate decision as shortly after the demolition, a shell landed on the breakwater near the foot of the Taitam Reservoir Dam).\n\nAcid was poured over the Thread Recorders and the Amplifier Valves and photo-electric cells were broken, Integrators were dashed on to the floor, and the R/T set smashed with rifle butts.\n\n4.\n\nAt 0900 approximately, all personnel were ordered off the Station with the exception of the watchkeeping officers. The generators were then raced, after removal of oil from the crank cases, with the intention that they should seize up. Petrol was poured over the wooden buildings of the station and ignited. Finally, at 0940 the two depth charges were fired separately by an eight-volt accumulator and two separate detonations were heard.\n\n5.\n\nThe personnel could not get close to the remains as the petrol fire was raging so fiercely, but destruction appeared to be complete as the buildings and surrounding steel fences were razed to the ground. The state of the tide made it impossible to cut the tails.\n\nThe station personnel then reported for duty at Aberdeen Base (Industrial School).\n\n6.",

There were several rejections of Beef during April and May and only in a few instances were replacements of Canned Meat made available. Lettuce was refused early in May because of its poor quality. The decrease of Green Vegetables in May was made up by Gourds.\n\nAs a precaution against non-delivery of foodstuffs during inclement weather, the Authorities at the request of the Council, agreed to consider the storage of \"iron\" rations at Headquarters; they also approved the suggestion that Blocks should store and hold reserves of dry rations sufficient for the supply of four meals.\n\nIn connection with the increased flour ration, the Council submitted plans for the construction of a Camp Bakery. So far, such has not come into being, but internees immediately set about constructing ovens in their own Block Kitchens and have succeeded admirably in producing bread of a high quality, a mean feat when it is remembered that suitable construction materials were conspicuous by their absence and that yeast had, in most cases, to be made by people who had practically no experience. Nevertheless, as stated above, the results have proved excellent and the general health of internees has, in a measure, improved with the daily issue of bread.\n\nThe securing of adequate supplies of firewood for cooking purposes was another matter which called for repeated representations to the Authorities. The problem became particularly acute following the increased issue of flour. After a time, the demands made by the Council were met to some extent but, on occasion, when the consumption of firewood (especially for bread baking purposes) exceeded the supply, Block Kitchen staffs were compelled to resort to the felling of trees to make good the deficiencies. At date, however, the supply of firewood may be described as fairly satisfactory.\n\nOn several occasions, requests have been addressed to the Japanese to provide another fat substitute for peanut oil, the acid nature of which, on occasion, was thought to have been the cause of a number of cases of diarrhoea.\n\nThe arrival in Camp of meat which had to be rejected as being unfit for human consumption led to the submission by the Council to the Authorities of recommendations which resulted in the issue of fresh meat in the mornings, thereby reducing the possibility of the meat deteriorating in the Block Kitchens overnight.\n\nTo minimize the incidence of deficiency diseases, owing to the lack of Vitamin B1 in the rations, the Medical Authorities in Camp recommended the introduction of a suitable prophylactic into soup once a week. Block Representatives were advised accordingly and this procedure is now regularly carried out.\n\nIn conjunction with the American and Dutch communities, the Council approved of the formation of an International Milk Board to control the Stocks, distribution, and use of Milk in the Camp.\n\nFollowing representations, the Council obtained permission from the Japanese Authorities for the renewed receipt of parcels for friends and relatives in Hong Kong. The first delivery arrived in Camp on 14th April. Since that date, deliveries have been made twice weekly.\n\nDuring",

        "content_text": "In the early period he was able to supply this hospital, which never had less than 400 patients transferred in moribund conditions from the badly equipped and temporary hospitals in the two camps, with bread, milk, medicines, etc. This he did quite openly from the Japanese Medical Headquarters, but finally the Japanese Military Authorities closed this opening and he never again succeeded in obtaining their approval for this route although he visited them himself on several occasions.\n\nThe only other method of sending in supplies left open was that of weekly parcels and it was in this connection that the lady helpers did such good work. As it became evident that the Japanese officer-in-charge of the hospital was prepared to close his eyes to large supplies being sent in by parcels, the ladies took greater risks and increased the numbers and bulk of the parcels. These supplies eventually cost as much as 5,000 Dollars weekly on foodstuffs alone but owing to the great need of the patients in question, more would have been sent if that had been possible. The types of food sent in were as follows:\n\n- Soya Bean Milk Powder 90 catties, Full Cream Milk Powder - 30 catties\n\n- Peanut Oil 1 tin, Pork Dripping 40 lbs., Butter 5 lbs., Barley for Porridge - 60 lbs.\n\n- Quaker Oats 50 lbs., Sardines 90 x 15 oz. tins, Lacovomalt - 6 tins., Tomato Puree 42 lbs., Haricot Beans - 24 ozs., Marmite - Common soap 20 bars, Toilet soap - 50\n\n- Peanuts 60 lbs., Cigarettes - 6,000, Towels - 24, Honey 20 lbs., Sugar 120 lbs., Eggs Duck - 500, Soya Beans in Sauce 60 x 20 oz. tins.\n\nThese bulk supplies started reaching the hospital about August last year and continued until the time of our internment. Many different kinds of medicines were included in these parcels and it is known they reached the Medical Officer safely.\n\nIn the early part of last year Dr. Selwyn-Clarke decided to stock large supplies of bulk foodstuffs and these included eggs which he preserved. Anything from between 500 and 1,000 eggs were sent in weekly to this hospital and it was most fortunate these eggs had been preserved as latterly it had not been advisable to show that funds were still available by purchasing fresh supplies.\n\nIn about December, 1942, the I.R.C. agreed to refund expenses connected with supplies to this hospital, but unfortunately this concession did not last for any length of time as Mr. Zindel, the Delegate, feared he might become involved if the Japanese discovered the method of despatch of these medicines, etc.\n\nThe Japanese from the very commencement have not contributed to this hospital in the form of essential medicines and so far as I know have only supplied one small quantity of Nicotinic Acid. The bulk supplies were all obtained by Dr. Selwyn-Clarke, and it was due to his efforts and to those of his lady helpers that there has been so considerable a reduction in the previous very heavy death rate. This hospital has, I know, sufficient Vitamin B.1 to last for over a year, and also a supply of Nicotinic Acid. The available balance of these medicines and foodstuffs have been left in the charge of perhaps the most gallant of the lady helpers, and I am fully confident she will do all in her power to see they reach the hospital safely.\n\nSHAMSHUIPO PRISONER-OF-WAR CAMP.\n\nThe work connected with the despatch of supplies to this Camp was both difficult and dangerous but was of...\n\nPage 56\n\n \n\n70lbs.,\n\n60lbs.,\n\ncakes,\n\nsuch",

S. SELWYN-CLARKE, D.M.S.\n\nPage 71\n\nAPPENDIX II\n\nAn Account by the Deputy Director of Medical Services of the Organisation of the Medical Services in Stanley Internment Camp\n\nJanuary, 1942–August, 1945\n\nFor ease of description, the medical organisation may be set out under the following headings-\n\n(a) STAFF\n\n(b) Hospital and Sanatorium.\n\n(c) District Clinics.\n\n(d) Special Clinics.\n\n(e) Drugs.\n\n(f) Equipment.\n\n(g) Miscellaneous activities.\n\nIt was fortunate that among the 2,500 individuals who were interned at Stanley, there were no less than forty doctors, two dentists, a distinguished biologist, six pharmacists, one hundred trained nurses including contingents of the Q.A.R.N.N.S. and the Q.A.I.M.N.S., six masseuses and a host of auxiliary nurses. These professional men and women consisted of Government servants, members of the staff of the Hong Kong University, private practitioners and the staffs of private and mission hospitals. All these individuals pooled their talents and resources, and worked as a harmonious whole for the benefit and welfare of the entire community.\n\nIn the absence of the Director of Medical Services, who was not interned but later imprisoned, the Deputy Director of Medical Services was appointed Camp Medical Officer by the Representative of Internees. Very soon after internment the medical organisation was established on a firm and co-operative foundation.\n\n(b) HOSPITAL\n\nA three-storied building, formerly used for accommodating single Indian warders, was transformed into a very efficient, though poorly equipped, hospital. This building overlooked Tweed Bay, and hence was named Tweed Bay Hospital. On the top floor in dormitories, there was accommodation for fifty members of the nursing staff, living under very crowded conditions; four wards made up the first floor; three wards, offices, operating theatre, kitchen, pantry, dispensary, etc., were situated on the ground floor. The hospital had seventy-four beds (thirty-seven for females and thirty-seven for males). These beds were usually filled to capacity. The turn-over was rapid, patients having to be discharged early to make room for more acute cases. The number of new admissions for a month varied between ninety and one hundred and fifty. Disorders of the alimentary tract, including bacillary dysentery, accounted for most of the admissions.\n\nOperations were performed regularly, even after the electricity had been cut off, and lighting was limited to the amount of daylight that could be reflected into the wound by means of a reflector.\n\nThe induction of anaesthesia often presented a serious problem owing to the shortage of chloroform and ether. Whenever feasible, spinal anaesthesia was the method of selection.\n\nA Board, known as the Surgical Board, was appointed by the Representative of Internees. It consisted of four members-the Camp Medical Officer as Chairman, and three senior surgeons.\n\nThe functions of this Board were to control surgical activities in the operating theatre. This was made necessary owing to the limited stock of dressings, gloves, catgut and general anaesthetics, etc.\n\nSANATORIUM\n\nBy 1943, the number of cases of open pulmonary tuberculosis had increased from seven to 14. A small building, known as the Leprosarium (it was here that in peace time cases of leprosy among prisoners in Stanley Gaol were isolated) was cleared of its occupants and transformed into a sanatorium for the treatment of cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. The single large ward was divided by a wooden partition, thus separating the sexes-(ten males on one side and four females on the other). This transference of tuberculous infected patients from Tweed Bay Hospital to the Sanatorium proved a great success and incidentally provided more accommodation for other cases at Tweed Bay Hospital.\n\nTreatment was handicapped by the absence of radiography-but this did not prevent collapse therapy being regularly carried out. The only other treatment that could be given to these unfortunate sufferers was regular doses of shark's liver oil, soya bean milk, peanut butter or margarine, according to available stocks held by the Camp Supplies Officer and the International Welfare Committee. Albeit, a steady but slow physical deterioration was the rule.\n\nPage 72\n\n(c) DISTRICT CLINICS\n\nThe Camp was conveniently divided into three districts:—\n\n(1) The St. Stephen's area, comprising St. Stephen's College and five small residential bungalows.\n\n(2) The \"Indian\" Quarters, so-called because the several three-storied blocks were used in peace-time to house the married Indian warders and their families.\n\n(3) A group of nine blocks of three-storied tenement flats that were used in peace-time to accommodate European warders, married and single.\n\nThe mean population of each of these districts was 850. Each district had a clinic or surgery which was in charge of a medical officer. Here, daily, out-patients were attended and surgical dressings applied. Here also were kept the records and the medical history sheets of every internee who attended, and daily returns were made to medical headquarters situated at Tweed Bay Hospital. Whenever necessary, patients were sent to the special clinics for further advice and treatment. In this manner a very detailed record was kept of the state of health of all internees.\n\n(d) SPECIAL CLINICS\n\n(1) Surgical-The Surgical specialist attended each morning from 9 to 12 in the out-patients department at Tweed Bay Hospital.\n\n(2) Nutrition.--All cases attending district clinics and found to be suffering from symptoms attributable to lack of a suitable diet were referred to the nutrition clinic, which was in charge of a medical specialist and several assistants. The results of treatment were carefully watched and reported. The functions of this clinic had a two-fold advantage, firstly, the standardisation of diagnosis and secondly, economy in the use of drugs, such as thiamin, nicotinic acid, and the consumption of yeast and shark's liver oil. Moreover, the physician in charge kept a detailed record of all food consumed, i.e., the daily rations as supplied by the Japanese, food purchased at the canteen, and food received from time to time from the International Red Cross. It was possible in this way to correlate the incidence of avitaminosis and loss or gain of body weight with the state of the diet throughout the period of internment. Some extremely interesting statistics were thus obtained and depicted on coloured charts.",

        "content_text": "# Medical Report\n\n## (3) Ophthalmic clinic\n\nThis clinic was held daily in the office of Tweed Bay Hospital. Anyone suffering from affections of the eye, defective vision, or other visual abnormalities, was referred to the eye specialist. Without the assistance of special apparatus, visual fields and scotomata were charted in all cases. Night blindness was a common complaint, but improvement followed the administration of shark's liver oil. In spite of giving riboflavine, peanut butter, yeast or egg yolk, no improvement ensued in cases of central nerve blindness. Very complete records were kept and some very interesting data were obtained.\n\n## (4) Ear, nose and throat clinic\n\nSimilarly, patients suffering from disorders of the ear, nose or throat, were seen twice weekly in Tweed Bay Hospital. Mastoidectomies and tonsillectomies were performed on a few cases. Aphonia, due to avitaminosis B2, was a common complaint.\n\n## (5) Dental\n\nDue to the enthusiasm and energy of one of the dentists, a blitzed room on the ground floor was transformed into a dental surgery. The Director of Medical Services managed to procure a dental chair and a foot drill. Some very valuable work was carried out, for apart from ordinary extractions, the teeth of children received special conservative attention. While materials were still available, it was possible to make new dentures and to repair broken ones.\n\nOther special clinics were: gynaecological, ante-natal, social hygiene, diseases of the skin, massage and electro-therapy.\n\nThough not held as a special clinic, one of the lady doctors made it her special work to attend to the health and welfare of infants and school children.\n\n## (e) DRUGS\n\nIn the first instance, the drugs available were those brought into camp by the medical staff of the various hospitals. Private doctors brought in a considerable supply from their personal stocks. The bulk of the stock contained in the small medical store in Tweed Bay Hospital was brought direct from the Queen Mary Hospital.\n\nAfter a time replenishments became more difficult but thanks to the efforts of the Director of Medical Services valuable additions were made, especially of preparations such as sulfanilamide and sulfapyridine, nicotinic acid, thiamin, and multivite capsules, the price of which in the open market had soared to impossible heights. The Swiss delegate of the I.R.C. was instrumental in sending in medicines occasionally but at exorbitant cost, which made it necessary for the Camp Medical Officer to issue repeated instructions for the exercise of the strictest economy in the use of these medicines. In fact, towards the end of internment scarcely any prescription was allowed to be dispensed without the countersignature of the Camp Medical Officer. This was naturally irksome to doctors but it was only by this means that the supply of certain important preparations lasted.\n\nThere were six patients who required twice daily doses of insulin, some as much as 60 units a day. It was an anxious time for both doctor and patients when only one week's supply remained, but fortunately fresh supplies always turned up in the nick of time.\n\nThe most valuable additions of drugs and dressings were those received from the British and Canadian Red Cross Societies.\n\nIt would be ungracious to omit to mention that the Japanese authorities did, from time to time, send into camp medical supplies. Welcome as they were, the actual items were not always in response to specific requests, but appeared to be merely such stocks of preparations that they happened to possess. Perhaps the most valuable of their contributions was the supply of stationery. Until March, 1943, prescriptions had to be written on scraps of paper, cigarette wrappings, etc. The medical notes of in-patients were recorded on the backs of temperature charts, and many of these had to be used over and over again.\n\n## (f) EQUIPMENT\n\nAs in the case of drugs, most of the surgical instruments and other hospital equipment were brought into camp at the time of internment by various doctors and persons connected with the outside hospitals, but again the majority from the Queen Mary Hospital. It was, however, possible by the pooling of all equipment from all sources to provide for the hospital, including the operating theatre, and the district clinics. For weeks after internment the Director of Medical Services, on his periodic visits, never failed to furnish us with additional equipment, such as a microscope, a diathermy machine, etc. Repeated requests were made to the Japanese authorities for a portable X-ray set, but without success. During the first two years a limited number of patients were sent into town to be X-rayed, but for the last two years no radiography was carried out at all. Though frequently required, it was not possible to obtain a cystoscope.\n\nSome very ingenious surgical appliances were manufactured at the camp workshop at the hands of skilled engineers. They made excellent aluminium splints, bone-holding forceps and a high pressure steam steriliser.\n\n## (g) MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES\n\n### (1) Diet kitchens\n\nAfter the early months of internment it became very apparent that something would have to be done about making the diet as supplied by the Japanese more suitable and palatable for very young children, elderly invalids, and those suffering from chronic peptic ulcers. The setting up of these special kitchens was made possible by the fact that there were available in the camp a number of electric cookers. The International Welfare Committee provided the extra foodstuffs. The district medical officer exercised general supervision but a trained nurse—a specialist in dietetics—was in charge of each kitchen. She had the assistance of other women experienced in invalid cooking. These kitchens proved a great success. The time came when the electricity was cut off and firewood became scarce, and these kitchens were forced to close. A very definite deterioration in the health of many of the regular patients followed.\n\n### (2) Milk\n\nA limited number of 8 oz. bottles of unpasteurised cow's milk were sent into camp daily, though the supply was somewhat irregular and diminished considerably as time went on. This was kept for the hospital and children under 5 years of age. Full cream powdered milk was reserved for infants only but this supply was exhausted by January, 1945. Thirty to forty pints of soya bean milk were made daily. This was reserved for use in the hospital and sanatorium and for debilitated out-patients.\n\n### (3) Yeast\n\nNext to loss of body weight the earliest manifestations of food deficiency were those due to lack of vitamins B1 and B2. Owing to the difficulty of supplying the deficiency medicinally, it was decided to manufacture a limited quantity of yeast for administration. The daily dose of 3 to 4 oz. proved efficacious though the media consisted of weevil-infested flour, soya bean residue and sweet potatoes.\n\n### (4) Medical meetings\n\nAn association consisting of all the doctors, dentists and pharmacists was constituted somewhat on the lines of the British Medical Association. A president and vice-presidents were elected annually, also a secretary. Many interesting and instructive papers were read. Minutes were duly read and confirmed, and complete records of all discussions were kept.\n\n### (5) Hospital visitors board\n\nThis small committee, consisting of the Camp Medical Officer as chairman, the Hospital Supervisor (a member of the Clergy) as secretary, and six other members representing the community at large, was appointed by the Representative of Internees. The object of this Board was to assist the hospital administration in matters concerning the welfare of patients, and to act as a liaison between hospital and community. The Board met every two or three weeks throughout internment. There is no doubt that this Board performed valuable service.\n\n### (6) Camp relief\n\nA group of four medical officers including the Camp Medical Officer, the medical officer in charge of the Nutrition Clinic, the medical officer in charge of Tweed Bay Hospital, and the medical adviser to the Camp Relief Trustees, was empanelled to give advice in the matter of giving aid to those requiring extra foodstuff. Advice was also given to the Representative of Internees on problems concerning the best use of foodstuffs held in the camp store.\n\n### (7) Pathology and bacteriology\n\nThe Government bacteriologist continued his work in the camp to the best of his ability. His small bedroom was his laboratory. He was severely handicapped by the lack of materials and technical equipment. His work was almost entirely confined to the examination of blood films, sputa, and stools, and doing red and white blood cell counts. He was occasionally called upon to perform post-mortem examinations. Towards the end of internment the supply of bacteriological stains gave out.\n\nMalaria and pulmonary tuberculosis had to be diagnosed on clinical grounds alone.\n\n### (8) Births and deaths registration\n\nNo time was lost after internment in opening fresh registers for the registration of births and deaths respectively. They conformed as closely as possible to the official registers kept in peace-time. Copies of the entries in the registers in the form of births and death certificates respectively, were made out and given to the interested parties. Without the actual registers to refer to, it is impossible to give accurate figures. Suffice it to say that the death rate each year remained remarkably low; for instance, during the year 1943, there were only 18 deaths, and the majority of these were of persons over the age of 60. The infant and maternal mortality rates were so low as to be negligible.\n\nD. J. VALENTINE,\n\nCamp Medical Officer.\n\nJanuary, 1946.",

SELWYN-CLARKE, D.M.S.\n\nAPPENDIX II\n\nAn Account by the Deputy Director of Medical Services of the Organisation of\n\nthe Medical Services in Stanley Internment Camp\n\nJanuary, 1942—August, 1945\n\nFor ease of description, the Medical organisation may be set out under the following headings:-\n\n(a) STAFF\n\n(b) Hospital and Sanatorium.\n\n(c) District Clinics.\n\n(d) Special Clinics.\n\n(e) Drugs.\n\nEquipment.\n\nMiscellaneous activities,\n\nIt was fortunate that among the 2,500 individuals who were interned at Stanley, there were no less than forty doctors, two dentists, a distinguished biologist, six pharmacists, one hundred trained nurses including contingents of the Q.A.R.N.N.S. and the Q.A.I.M.N.S., six masseuses and a host of auxiliary nurses. These professional men and women consisted of Government servants, members of the staff of the Hong Kong University, private practitioners and the staffs of private and mission hospitals. All these individuals pooled their talents and resources, and worked as a harmonious whole for the benefit and welfare of the entire community.\n\nIn the absence of the Director of Medical Services, who was not interned, but later imprisoned, the Deputy Director of Medical Services was appointed Camp Medical Officer by the Representative of Internees. Very soon after internment, the medical organisation was established on a firm and co-operative foundation.\n\n(b) HOSPITAL\n\nA three-storied building, formerly used for accommodating single Indian warders, was transformed into a very efficient, though poorly equipped hospital. This building overlooked Tweed Bay, and hence was named Tweed Bay Hospital. On the top floor in dormitories, there was accommodation for fifty members of the nursing staff, living under very crowded conditions; four wards made up the first floor; three wards, offices, operating theatre, kitchen, pantry, dispensary, etc., were situated on the ground floor. The hospital had seventy-four beds (thirty-seven for females, and thirty-seven for males). These beds were usually filled to capacity. The turn-over was rapid, patients having to be discharged early to make room for more acute cases. The number of new admissions for a month varied between ninety and one hundred and fifty. Disorders of the alimentary tract, including bacillary dysentery, accounted for most of the admissions.\n\nOperations were performed regularly, even after the electricity had been cut off, and lighting was limited to the amount of daylight that could be reflected into the wound by means of a reflector.\n\nThe induction of anaesthesia often presented a serious problem owing to the shortage of chloroform and ether. Whenever feasible, spinal anaesthesia was the method of selection.\n\nA Board, known as the Surgical Board, was appointed by the Representative of Internees. It consisted of four members--the Camp Medical Officer as Chairman, and three senior surgeons.\n\nThe functions of this Board were to control surgical activities in the operating theatre. This was made necessary owing to the limited stock of dressings, gloves, catgut and general anaesthetics, etc., etc.\n\nSANATORIUM\n\nBy 1943, the number of cases of open pulmonary tuberculosis had increased from seven. A small building, known as the Leprosarium (it was here that in peace time cases of Leprosy among prisoners in Stanley Gaol were isolated) was cleared of its occupants and transformed into a sanatorium for the treatment of cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. The single large ward was divided by a wooden partition, thus separating the sexes-(ten males on one side and four females on the other). This transference of tubercular infected patients from Tweed Bay Hospital to the Sanatorium proved a great success and incidentally provided more accommodation for other cases at Tweed Bay Hospital.\n\nTreatment was handicapped by the absence of radiography---but this did not prevent collapse therapy being regularly carried out. The only other treatment that could be given to these unfortunate sufferers was regular doses of shark's liver oil, soya bean milk, peanut butter or margarine, according to available stocks held by the Camp Supplies Officer and the International Welfare Committee. Albeit, a steady but slow physical deterioration was the rule.\n\n(c) DISTRICT CLINICS\n\nThe Camp was conveniently divided into three districts :-\n\n(1) The St. Stephen's area, comprising St. Stephen's College and five small residential bungalows.\n\n(2) The \"Indian\" Quarters,-so-called because the several three-storied blocks, used in peace-time to house the married Indian warders and their families.\n\n(3) A group of nine blocks of three-storied tenement flats that used in peace-time to accommodate European warders, married and single.\n\nThe mean population of each of these districts was 850. Each district had a clinic or surgery which was in charge of a medical officer. Here daily, out-patients were attended and surgical dressings applied. Here also were kept the records and the medical history sheets of every internee who attended, and daily returns were made to medical headquarters situated at Tweed Bay Hospital. Whenever necessary, patients were sent to the special clinics for further advice and treatment. In this manner, a very detailed record was kept of the state of health of all internees.\n\n(d) SPECIAL CLINICS\n\n(1) Surgical-Surgical specialist attended each morning from 9 to 12 in the out-patients department at Tweed Bay Hospital.\n\n(2) Nutrition-All cases attending district clinics and found to be suffering from symptoms attributable to lack of a suitable diet were referred to the nutrition clinic which was in charge of a medical specialist and several assistants. The results of treatment were carefully watched and reported. The functions of this clinic had a two-fold advantage, firstly, the standardisation of diagnosis and secondly, economy in the use of drugs, such as thiamin, nicotinic acid, and the consumption of yeast and shark's liver oil. Moreover, the physician in charge kept a detailed record of all food consumed, i.e., the daily rations as supplied by the Japanese, food purchased at the canteen, and food received from time to time from the International Red Cross. It was possible in this way to correlate the incidence of avitaminosis and loss or gain of body weight with the state of the diet throughout the period of internment. Some extremely interesting statistics were thus obtained and depicted on coloured charts. (See-special report Dr. Dean Smith.)",

Diet kitchens so organised by the medical staff helped to augment the rice diet which produced marked malnutrition in several hundred of the inmates. Considerable numbers suffered agonising pain, 'electric' feet, and so forth, which often produced severe insomnia, and even mental symptoms.\n\nSerious interference with visual acuity amounting to actual blindness was another manifestation of the ill-balanced and inadequate ration.\n\nFrequent instances came under notice of beri-beri heart with syncope following even slight exertion.\n\nThat many more lives were lost in the prisoner of war camps in Hong Kong and that a remarkably high level of morale was maintained constitute a lasting tribute to the devotion of officers and others (especially the members of the R.A.M.C., I.M.S., and Naval Medical Service), responsible for the camp welfare.\n\nOn the 4th January, 1942, that is to say, ten days after the surrender, the Japanese interned the majority of the British, European, American, and Dutch civilians. About 2,500 were crowded into a dozen insanitary Chinese boarding houses, taking with them whatever belongings they could carry by hand. This accommodation was chosen by the Japanese with a view to destroying what little remained of British \"face\" or prestige. The rations issued out at that time consisted of 6.4 taels or 8 ozs. of rice per head per day, occasionally a portion of water buffalo, rarely any salt or oil, and no vegetables. Pine logs were used as fuel. It will probably be agreed that this was rather a Spartan diet for those accustomed to European food.\n\nIn order to mitigate these hardships, efforts were made by those of us still at liberty to distribute to these boarding houses all manner of supplies. The Japanese somewhat reluctantly permitted me to operate three Red Cross trucks with the aid of six stalwart Americans who rendered extremely valuable service until repatriated six months later. As a result of the internment of prisoners of war and civilians, an immediate problem had to be solved, namely, the care of their non-interned wives, children, and dependents of Chinese, Portuguese, or mixed race.\n\nThe Red Cross was not permitted to function in this connection for over a year after the surrender. It was necessary, therefore, to establish an informal welfare committee. This committee raised funds, under cover, from sympathisers with the Allied cause. The funds enabled assistance to be given in the form of monetary grants, food, clothes, shoes, medical care, and so on.\n\nThe same committee did its best to meet the multitudinous needs of prisoners of war and interned persons.\n\nAfter numerous strong protests against confinement in the Chinese boarding houses, the Japanese eventually agreed to the transfer of civilian internees to Stanley Peninsula situated on the south side of Hong Kong Island.\n\nPermanent reinforced buildings, with large open spaces for vegetable gardening, were available, and access to the beaches was allowed during six months of the year.\n\nHere, too, overcrowding and a complete lack of privacy were a sore trial, but general living conditions were",

This increase involved additional work on the part of the laboratory staff, who worked extra hours in the evenings to ensure as little delay and inconvenience as possible to those concerned.\n\nThe materials supplied by the I.R.C. during the first half of 1943 made this work possible, but the stocks are now almost exhausted.\n\nGENERAL COMMENTS ON DENTAL WORK CARRIED OUT DURING 1944 AND THE DENTAL HEALTH OF THE CAMP.\n\nIn view of the prevailing insufficient and unbalanced diet, the dental health of internees has suffered, but due to the treatment carried out during the previous two years, fewer extractions and fillings have been found necessary; also many internees, who in normal circumstances would only go to a dentist in cases of urgent necessity, have regularly attended the Clinic. On the other hand, conditions over which they have no control have accounted for an increase in treatment for gums and mouths. Gum treatments (for receding and spongy gums) increased by more than 200%. Abscesses showed an increase of nearly 100%, also due to the general debility mentioned above.\n\nA disturbing feature of this year's review is the incidence of Fuso-Spirochetosis (Vincent's infection). This is caused largely by a deficiency in the diet of Vitamins \"A\" and \"C\" and the Nicotinic Acid component of the \"B\" Complex. It is obvious from our knowledge of the people affected that this infection would not have occurred under normal conditions. Fortunately, all the cases (14) have responded to local treatment, one case only requiring two courses of treatment.\n\nELECTRICITY. During the last three months of the year, the Camp was deprived of electric current; this made things more difficult both in the surgery and the laboratory.\n\nSPECIAL CASES.\n\nDuring the year, two dental cyst cases were operated upon. Also, I assisted Dr. Talbot to operate on an apex of a molar root to avoid removing a gold bridge which could not be reinstated in the Camp.\n\nMECHANICAL WORK. This shows a decrease of 50% on the previous year, due entirely to a lack of materials. The stock of materials was very much depleted before the discontinuation of the electric supply, and the lack of current makes mechanical work a very laborious process. It is obvious",

Suitable premises are being sought for this purpose.\n\nAs a temporary measure the Administration has assumed responsibility for the Haw Par Hospital on Cheung Chow Island until the St. John Ambulance organisation in Hong Kong is reorganised and in a position to finance this hospital.\n\n## Bacteriological Institutes\n\nDr. K.T. Loke is acting as Pathologist, as Dr. A.V. Greaves has not yet arrived in the Colony.\n\nThe Institution in Victoria was as such throughout the occupation and, consequently, this building was intact, although in need of repairs. Some equipment had been removed from the Institute but sufficient equipment, chemicals, and stains remained to do routine examinations for hospitals and clinics.\n\nAnother Institute was set up in Kowloon by the Japanese and the layout, equipment, etc., are considered very suitable for the purpose. Prior to the Pacific War, plans had been prepared for the construction of a Pathological (& Bacteriological) Laboratory in Kowloon and the present Institute, although on a less ambitious scale, has proved most useful, especially now that transport is so inadequate.\n\nThe work of both Institutes has been steadily increasing although, so far, no vaccines or sera have been prepared locally.\n\nIn addition to clinical pathological and bacteriological investigations on materials submitted by hospitals, clinics, and practitioners, much work has been carried out in connection with samples of water, milk, etc., submitted by the Health Section, Water Authority, etc.\n\nThe experimental animals, with few exceptions, died from malnutrition or other causes during the occupation.\n\n## Government Laboratory\n\n### Reorganisation\n\nAs usual, all equipment and stores were left in a very dirty and chaotic state and Major Symons is to be complimented on his energy and initiative in restoring order and testing and identifying various chemicals, etc.\n\n### Analyses etc.\n\nThe work of the Laboratory has steadily increased. 105 samples of waters, waterworks chemicals, foodstuffs, wines, and spirits, and other materials have been analysed in addition to forensic and toxicological examinations.\n\n### Other Work\n\nA Field Method for the estimation of free fatty acids in Peanut Oil has been evolved for the use of the Supplies Branch.

C. Chau, Manager of the Emporium Ballroom, when he was interviewed by a *Post and Telegraph* reporter.\n\nMr Chau said that by a coincidence in all cases the acid was thrown on the lower part of the girls' dresses and made from behind their backs. The various cases occurred mostly between the hours of 7.30 and 8.30 p.m. when the girls were going to their work, and only one case happened at 11 a.m. in daytime. He said one girl suffered burns to her back and another suffered similar burns on her leg. The first incident, added Mr Chau, occurred about three weeks ago and the last case was reported to the Police last Sunday. All these cases were reported to the Police, who are still making enquiries.\n\nMr Chau said that so far as he knew no arrests had been made and no-one was in a position to state why such attacks were made.\n\nMoscow says the British provoked the Cairo rioting.

H. Latimer at the Kowloon Summary Court yesterday when they appeared on a charge of larceny of a pig, the property of Ng Kam, at Main Road near Yeung Uk village, Un Long, on Sunday.\n\nDetective Sub-Inspector Rothwell, who prosecuted, said that at 8 a.m. on Monday, the complainant's daughter saw the pig running loose on the road. It had been injured by a passing lorry. She went in and informed her mother, who came out, but the pig was gone. Following information she had received, the complainant went to the accused's village, where she found them slaughtering the pig. She recognised the pig as hers and asked them to return it. Upon their refusing, she went and reported the matter to the Police. When the Police arrived, the accused were cutting up the remnants of the pig. The pig weighed 60 catties and was valued at $400.\n\n## Radio\n### Hanghing Studio\n\nZBW Hong Kong broadcasting on a frequency of 640 Kilocycles and from 12.30 to 1.30 p.m., 6.30 to 7.30 p.m., and 9.00 to 11.00 p.m. also on 9.52 Megacycles.\n\nH.K.T.\n| Time | Programme |\n| --- | --- |\n| 12.30 | Daily Programme summary |\n| 12.32 | Eddie Carroll and Music |\n| 12.45 | \"Romance and Rhythm\" ENSA |\n| 1.00 | News and Announcements |\n| 1.10 | Casani Club Orchestra |\n| 1.30 | Music from the films |\n| 2.00 | Close Down |\n| 6.30 | Swing and Sway Sammy Kaye |\n| 7.00 | London Relay-News |\n| 7.15 | \"Ivor Pye\" The Singing |\n| 7.30 | Studio: Radio Play \"The Blagden Legend\" |\n| 8.00 | Classical Request Hour |\n| 9.00 | London Relay-News |\n| 9.05 | The Vagabond Sailor ENSA |\n| 9.35 | Music for Dancing |\n| 10.10 | Billy Thorburn and Music |\n| 10.25 | Ivor Novello and some of his successes |\n| 11.00 | Close down |\n\nProgrammes marked ENSA are recorded specially for Services Entertainment by the Dept. of National Services Entertainment.\n\n## A STOLEN COW\n### Disappears From Outside Dealer's House\n#### FOUND IN OTHER VILLAGE\n\nLau Sam was brought before Mr W. D. Latimer at the Kowloon Summary Court yesterday on a charge of larceny of a cow from outside No. 5 Kuk Tin Street, Un Long, the property of Mam Pak Ng-bong. He pleaded not guilty.\n\nThe complainant was called as the first witness and stated that he was a cattle dealer in Un Long. At 3 a.m. on Sunday he was asleep in his house. He had tied up his three cows outside. On waking, he found that his cows were no longer tied outside. He therefore made a search but failed to find them. He then made a report of his loss to the Police at the Ping Shan Police Station. At 7 a.m. he returned to his house and found two of his cows tied outside once more. Also, he received certain information so he went to the Ping Shan Police Station again and reported to Detective Sub-Inspector Rothwell. Then accompanied by the Police he went to Lo Fau Shan, where the third cow was recovered outside a house belonging to the accused. This was at about 10 a.m.\n\nThe second witness was P.C.C. 560 who stated that at about 9 a.m. on Sunday, on instructions given by Detective Sub-Inspector Rothwell, he went with the complainant to recover a cow which the complainant had reported lost. They recovered it from outside the accused's house.\n\nThe accused was found guilty and sentenced to six months hard labour. The cow was to be returned to the complainant.\n\nDetective Sub-Inspector Rothwell prosecuted.\n\n## ESCAPE FROM HOSPITAL\n\nChan Hung, an alleged house-breaker, was captured 15 minutes later at about 11.15 p.m. on Monday night in Waterloo Road near Peace Avenue. Chan was caught by a constable, No. 745, attached to the Emergency Unit.\n\n## ROTARIANS ENTERTAINED BY TALK\n### Lieut-Col Gordon King Tells Exciting Tale Of Journey Into China\n\nThe story of his escape from Hong Kong and his experiences during his journeying into Free China shortly after the Japanese occupation of the Colony was vividly recounted by Lieut-Col Gordon King, Assistant Director of Medical Services (Civil Affairs), to members of the Hong Kong Rotary Club at the weekly luncheon at the Gloucester Hotel yesterday.\n\nCol King met Messrs Marsman and Lavrov, who had escaped from Stanley Camp, and two Chinese friends, in the hills of Kowloon, and together they made their way to Lolung on the East River. From there Dr King reached Kukong.\n\nDr Woo, introducing the speaker, said that Lieut-Col King was formerly Professor of Gynaecology at Hong Kong University and at present was Assistant Director of Medical Services.\n\nA large attendance of members and their friends were present to hear the talk, and visiting Rotarians welcomed by the President, Dr Arthur Woo, were Messrs W. K. Way (Chungking), Y. K. Chow (Mukden), Peter Y. Kwok (Singapore), and H. Kaddorie (Shanghai).\n\nRotarian Kwok brought a message of greeting from the Singapore Club which, he said, had re-commenced functioning shortly after the establishment of the British Military Administration. There was at present a membership of about 70. Though no luncheon or dinner meetings were held owing to the difficult food situation, the Club held weekly tea meetings.\n\nRotarian Kadoorie also conveyed the greetings of the Shanghai Club which was holding meetings fortnightly, he said.\n\nThe Secretary, Rotarian T. E. Jackson, announced that the meeting next Tuesday would be a closed one, and one of the main topics of discussion would be their community-service.\n\nGuests welcomed were Messrs K. Crawford, J. Wilson, Kwok Chan, D. Djoung, W. Stoker, D. I. Bosanquet, Comdr Kirby, Lieut-Col T. W. Ware, Lieut-Col Y. S. Wan, Col Luke T. C. McDouall, Wai Lee, Messrs J. Man-wai and Major R. E. Farrell.\n\n### Dr Gordon King's Story\n\nLieut-Col Gordon King said:\n\n\"I had early been relieved of my duties as Medical Officer in charge of the Relief Hospital, but I was still able to do a certain amount of work in one of the other hospitals where I had some very loyal friends. Soon after the internment of a third of my colleagues, my position in this hospital was made quite untenable by an appointee of the Japanese, who made it quite clear to me that my visits would not long be tolerated.\n\n\"After considering all the possible means of exit I came to the conclusion that the greatest chance of success lay in finding a guide who would take me out by the East River route. I should have been entirely at a loss without the help of two Chinese friends and former students to whom I shall never be able adequately to express my gratitude. Through their aid, an agreement was made with a reliable man and all preparations were made. At first, I was to be disguised as a coolie, but later (somewhat to my relief) it was decided that it would be better for me to dress in shabby European clothes. A supply of food sufficient to last a week, together with a razor, a towel, and a sleeping bag were to be carried by the guide, and a suitcase full of clothes and other necessaries was to follow later if a way could be found. I was, of course, committed to complete secrecy about the whole affair.\n\n\"Just before dawn on February 10, 1942, I left my house, dressed in a shabby old raincoat, wearing an old felt hat and carrying a Chinese umbrella in my hand, met my escort at an appointed place and took an early tram to the Star Ferry. It was scarcely light, but already numerous people were crossing over. The two of us were both fully occupied and then quietly slipped on to the boat.\n\n\"On the Kowloon side, I mingled with the crowd, and, by dropping my head and shoulders and pulling my hat well down over my eyes, managed to leave the ferry without attracting the attention of the Japanese guards who were busily engaged in searching the passengers.\n\n\"My decision to escape from Hong Kong was made at an early date after the capitulation. Several factors influenced me in reaching this decision, and I think I can best set them before you in their chronological order.\n\n\"First of all, I had tried to carry on medical work for nearly a year under the Japanese regime in North China. In Hong Kong, after the surrender, I found that, as far as medical work was concerned, my position was very much worse than it had been in the North.\n\n\"The final spark which fired my determination was provided by an unfortunate encounter with the Japanese Gendarmerie over the cutting down of some trees. In the University Relief Hospital, for which I was responsible during the war, we had run completely out of fuel and we had no means of cooking for some 500 patients and staff unless some trees in the compound were felled for this purpose.\n\n\"Towards the end of January, however, the Japanese decided to transfer the University community to Stanley whither the majority of the internees had already been sent. I was then with Cheeloo University and was the Medical Superintendent of the University Hospital in Tsinan when most of my colleagues were transferred to Stanley. Before his departure, the Vice-Chancellor made it clear to me that the conditions under which we had been interned in the University had ceased to exist, and that as a servant of the University, I was entirely a free agent in making my future plans.\n\n\"During the months that ensued, I quickly realised how impossible it was, even as a servant of the University, to carry on medical work under the Japanese, and I decided that I should be doing much more useful work either in Hong Kong or in Free China. Towards the end of 1938, I was appointed to a post in the University of Hong Kong, and it was with very great relief that I left Shantung.\n\n\"After several requests, permission was finally obtained from the senior officer of the Japanese military unit which was billeted in the University, and three large trees were felled at dawn the next day. The trees were being cut up in the courtyard of one of the emergency hospital buildings when I was hurriedly summoned to the scene, and there I found the chief of the newly formed Gendarmerie with a small party of his men and an interpreter. The officer was livid with rage; he gave me no opportunity to explain and asked me who had given authority for the trees to be felled, and when I told him that a military officer in the compound had done so, he asked me to produce a written permit. When I told him that the permission was only verbal, he flew into a paroxysm of rage and Rotarian... (Continued on Page 4)",

        "content_text": "# BALANG 104 FRRANDLE\n\nThis suggestion may at first sight appear preposterous, but I have given it considerable thought over a period of years and believe that it is worthy of critical examination.\n\nIn that most interesting period prior to the war, as Scientific adviser to the Food Controller in Hong Kong, I co-operated in the establishment and maintenance of a balanced food reserve sufficient for a population of 1,800,000 for a period of 100 days.\n\nI had the opportunity of seeing raw food in bulk and advising as to its storage and disposal, of seeing food processing on a large scale, and of experimenting on a large scale with processed foods. I realised the complete lack of scientific knowledge in the storage of foods, the wastage of foods and of by-products due to ignorance, and the complete absence of knowledge of what foods should be eaten in order to have a balanced diet. In order to maintain the colossal reserves necessary for the stipulated 100 days siege period, pools were established for vegetable oils and beans (also for rice). All imported foods in these categories were put into the pool, and old stock released on to the market. As the wholesale price was steadily rising, there was no loss in monetary value, but the loss in food value due to depletion and deterioration caused by insect damage, etc., was considerable.\n\nOur regular inspection of peanut oil factories showed that most were filthy and all were equipped with antiquated hand-manipulated wedge presses. The expressed cake had a ready local market, the better quality oil being exported to Canada and fetching a good price. The peanut residue was pressed into cakes and sold as fertiliser to farmers and gardeners. I proposed that fresh peanut meal from the two cleanest oil factories should be experimented with, with a view to incorporating it in a biscuit. With the ready and able assistance of Mr. Tom Edgar, Master Baker, a series of trial biscuits were made, and after about 30 trials, a formula was perfected for a hard siege biscuit containing only 2% water. Besides peanut meal, there were used wholewheat flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. The biscuit project was accepted by Government, and we started by making 2 tons a day, and sealing them in petrol tins and storing them as a siege reserve.\n\nA plan for making 3 tons a day was not implemented due to hostilities. Each biscuit weighed 1 ounce and cost 1 cent: one biscuit a day had enough available iron for an adult, two enough nicotinic acid to prevent pellagra on a polished rice diet, and 4 enough to prevent beriberi on such a diet. Experiments continued, and eventually, the day before the war started, a satisfactory biscuit was made containing shark liver oil and very finely divided calcium carbonate. Mr. Edgar also made biscuits of the consistency of digestive and oatcake biscuits and incorporated the peanut meal in cakes and bread. Immense possibilities of peaceful development of the use of peanut meal are likely to be practical. The siege biscuit was thoroughly tried out at 5 hospitals, including a maternity hospital (Professor Gordon King), and was uniformly liked by all nationalities and by all ages from 6 months to over 60 years (Dr. Montgomery). A group of Beihaiwet police suffering from pellagra were cured by means of the biscuit (Commissioner of Police), and after the cure, they were so pleased that they wished to buy them to form a part of their regular diet. Whilst the bakers were mixing and rolling out the biscuit dough, I saw them chewing pieces of broken biscuit with evident satisfaction.\n\n...of high nutritive value, cheap to make, popular and profitable.",

        "content_text": "## 8.\n\nby means of the right use of peanut it is possible to provide foods supplying iron, nicotinic acid (riboflavin?) and thiamin to prevent diseases caused by a deficiency of these items. The oil present in the biscuit contains unsaturated fatty acids necessary for metabolism and is a rich source of phytosterols, precursors of vitamin D. The thin skin surrounding the peanut is, to the best of my belief, though the fact is not universally appreciated, the richest natural source of thiamin.\n\n## 9.\n\nAnother activity of the **Department** was the establishment of a salt fish reserve. We aimed at 1,000 tons and had successfully salted approximately 600 tons in enormous wooden vats when hostilities commenced. Salt fish provides animal protein and salt. In my opinion, it is not the ideal way to utilise fish, but it was the only method possible at such short notice. Better methods include canning and the preparation of dried fish meal. I first saw fish meal manufactured on a large scale in Aberdeen, Scotland, and was struck by its potentialities as a human food for natives in areas deficient in foods rich in high-grade proteins. I suggested that some sealed tins should be sent to Macao for experimental work.\n\nFish meal could be manufactured in Tung Yung by the fishermen's co-operative recently established on a very large scale.\n\nIt would take a little time to get the Chinese accustomed to this new food, but as it can be packed and sealed in tins, it can be exported in perfect condition into the interior of China where it should find a ready sale. It could there be re-processed and flavoured as desired.\n\nThe use of skim milk powder to provide protein of high biological value is probably impracticable in Hong Kong because of expense, but I see no reason why dried fish meal should not be used. It would provide, in addition to protein, calcium and phosphorus, because the bones of the fish are included in the meal.\n\nShortly prior to the war, I heard that Dr. Tisdall had incorporated bone meal in a biscuit for human consumption.\n\nIn Stanley Internment Camp, after a little experimentation, we wasted nothing. When we had meat, we pressure-cooked the bones, ground them, and served them as a paste or spread. When frightfully bony and rather putrid salt fish (mostly anchovies) were provided, we pressure-cooked the lot. Only the eyeballs, which hardened into small bullets, then proved inedible. Animal bone meal and fish bone meal could be incorporated with foods to provide calcium, phosphorus, and possibly other valuable substances.\n\nWe experimented with pine needle tea (after asking the advice of Dr. Tisdall) and found that 10-15 minutes boiling of chopped pine needles extracted 50% of the vitamin C in a palatable form. Pine needles are richer in vitamin C than oranges.\n\nTomatoes can be grown with great care in Hong Kong, so also can sweet peppers and cape gooseberries, excellent sources of vitamins, not only of C.\n\nWe carried out a series of experiments with the oils extracted from the livers of various fish and found that it was practicable to extract the oil from the livers of sharks and that it was rich in vitamin A (no biological assays for A could be attempted). We used this oil throughout our internment and realised its value used therapeutically and prophylactically. Used in ointments with unexpected success.\n\n## /10.",

The Defence Secretary, the late Dr. Fraser, was even keener than myself on this project and was prepared to get government to finance the scheme. He suggested that I should fly to Honolulu where yeast was being grown for cattle food, but nothing came of this suggestion and it was found impracticable to start a food yeast factory at that time. Molasses was cheap and available in quantity in Hong Kong and should be again, and there should be no difficulty in obtaining superphosphate and ammonia, so there is no insuperable difficulty in establishing a food yeast factory at some future date in Hong Kong.\n\n15.\n\nI believe that a very palatable and highly nutritive spread for bread and biscuits can be made from an intimate mixture of peanut butter and yeast.\n\n3.\n\nThe food factory would include the following units -\n| Unit |\n| --- |\n| A modern peanut oil press. |\n| A food yeast unit - not necessary, immediately. |\n| A model bakery and kitchen. |\n| A workshop with pressure cookers, grain mill, mixers, etc. |\n\nTo this factory would be supplied peanuts, soy beans, whole wheat; fish meal and shark liver oil from the Fisheries Sub-Department; tomatoes, meat peppers and vegetables as required from the Agricultural Sub-Department and bones from the slaughter house.\n\n16.\n\nThe products from the factory would include biscuits, bread, cakes, sandwich and biscuit spreads, soybean milk, fresh and fermented soybean curd.\n\n18",

We admit the evidence of the Government Chemist that this substance is dangerous in itself and also when in contact with other substances, and in such circumstances would probably inflame organic matter while the potassium chlorate itself would decompose forming a white smoke which was referred to by a large majority of the witnesses. We cannot set aside the possibility of mineral acids being contained in passengers' baggage, and where potassium chlorate is concerned the presence of such acids would be sufficient to start a fire.\n\nWe are aware that under the provisions of Section 15 of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance of Hongkong, Number 10 of 1899, and again under Section 446 of the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act of 1894, it is an offence for any person to carry, or attempt to carry, in any vessel any dangerous goods without so notifying the Master of the vessel. At the same time, and considering this particular trade, we are of the firm opinion that a fuller and more careful examination of passengers' baggage should be enforced by the Authorities concerned with the routine searches for arms and the control of prohibited exports and unmanifested cargo. We are fully aware of the difficulties connected with such closer supervision, for many dangerous goods are not readily recognizable as such.\n\nWe made the following recommendations:- \n\n(a) That passage tickets be sold only at the Company's Offices or by their accredited Agents, and that the practice of issuing such tickets either on the wharf or onboard the vessel should be discontinued without delay.\n\n(b) That when passengers are on board and the vessel alongside a wharf, all cargo port doors on the wharf side should be fully open and provided with railed gangways covering either the full width of the cargo port or where ramps are used then the full width of the ramp. Such doors on the off side should be also open, or partly open, according to the weather prevailing at the time.\n\n(c) That notices in English and Chinese be prominently posted warning all passengers of the dangers and consequences of carrying goods on board which are likely to affect the safety of life and the vessel.\n\n(d) That the various searching units be instructed to keep a sharp watch on the nature of both passengers' baggage and cargo, and if in doubt report the matter to the Master of the vessel and also to their superiors. Furthermore, that where baggage is concerned the search should be carried out at the entrance to the wharf and before passengers are admitted to the wharf. In the detection of dangerous goods, the Authorities are entitled to the fullest co-operation of the Master and Crew who should also maintain a constant and close watch for any goods of a suspicious nature.\n\n(e) That clear passageways at least 3 ft. wide be at all times maintained fore and aft on both sides of the passenger deck, and that all approaches to stairways and gangways be kept clear.\n\nWe deprecate the long-established custom of passengers being allowed to spread their baggage over the deck, but we realise the impracticability of suggesting they be separated from what, in many cases, may constitute their entire possessions by insisting that their baggage be placed in a separate compartment.\n\nIn conclusion, we wish to place on record our high appreciation of the excellent work done by Inspector Arthur George Groves of the Hongkong Police and his unit, ably assisted by Revenue Officer Sui Hin Yit and his men, for their early efforts to control the stampede and their ready assistance to those already in the water.\n\nThe action taken by the officers and men of the Water Police, and the use of searchlights by the Fire Floats, are also to be commended.\n\n**Marine Office, Hongkong.**\n\n14th Feb., 1948.\n\n**(William Sumpter)**  \n**(James Jolly)**  \n**(John Buchanan)**  \n**(Philip Stirling)**  \n**(William Lumsden)**  \nPresident  \nMember  \nMember  \nMember  \nMember",

A gangway was in position from the port cargo port and also one from the upper deck amidships.\n\nWe also note that the port stairway, the forward stairway, and the after stairway were readily accessible at all times, and if greater use had been made of them, we feel that fewer lives would have been lost, for due to the state of the tide (L.W. 6.44 p.m.), it would have been comparatively easy to have escaped to the wharf from the upper deck. \n\nWe fully recognise the fact that no arrangement of gangways can possibly cope with circumstances where passengers attempt to carry their heavy baggage on shore and in some cases endeavour to return on board to collect it. \n\nThere is insufficient evidence to show what actually started the fire, but the undoubted presence of large quantities of potassium chlorate in personal baggage must be accepted as the primary cause.

The regulations in use up to 1940 had dealt with explosives, highly inflammable liquids such as petrol, very strong acids, and a few substances which readily give off an inflammable vapour. We formed the impression that these older regulations were well known, and possibly well observed. In 1940, there was a drastic revision of the regulations, the exact reason for which we were unable to ascertain. These new regulations are not at all well known to the general public, and the reasons possibly are as follows:\n\n1) they were made in 1940, a period of great stress;\n2) a very considerable latitude was as usual permitted administratively in their observance during the initial twelve months of operation, and the war intervened before there was a tightening up on enforcement;\n3) they were not readily available in published form till about the middle of 1948, and they were not in any case available in Chinese translation;\n4) both the Fire Brigade and commercial concerns generally, with the possible exception of some of the larger godown companies, have been so busy since 1945 in reinstating their 1939 standards and dealing with an unprecedented volume of work that they have had little time to attend to anything but the barest essentials, among which they have not included the strict observance of the dangerous goods regulations.\n\nWe think that the disregard of the regulations has been a result of ignorance rather than deliberate intention.\n\n## 63. \nWhen we commenced our deliberations, the current impression was that the regulations for the storage of dangerous goods were excessively complicated and in any case impracticable. There are some further observations on their practicality in a later paragraph, but here it is only necessary to say that whatever their merits or demerits, the 1940 regulations have never been given a chance to be applied in a practical manner during a period of normality, and their virtues and shortcomings therefore remain largely unascertained. At first sight, they appear voluminous and complex, but the principles are simple enough. There would seem to be no difficulty in godown owners at least being familiar with their requirements. We understand that in England, there are two separate sets of regulations, one for the carriage of goods at sea, and one for storage on land; and neither are at present considered satisfactory.

        "content_text": "## Washed Film and Celluloid Stability\n\nWashed film is not normally used again for making fresh film, as it is too variable to meet the exceedingly high quality standards of the industry, but it is sold for incorporation in cellulose finishes or to the celluloid plastic industry.\n\n### Storage Properties of Celluloid; Decomposition and Stability\n\nNitrocellulose, the main constituent of nitrate film, is not a completely stable compound. It continually undergoes a chemical change akin to hydrolysis, whereby oxides of nitrogen are evolved. The reaction, under ordinary conditions, proceeds at an extremely slow rate, but may be accelerated by certain conditions.\n\nFor example, the reaction is accelerated by acids, and it is here that one danger lies. For the oxides of nitrogen evolved in the reaction change with traces of moisture to nitric acid, and this acid, as we have said, accelerates the reaction, again producing more acid. The reaction is, in chemical language, auto-catalytic.\n\nThe second danger of the reaction is that it is exothermic; that is, heat is evolved during the process. When the reaction is slow, this heat is of no significance; but as the reaction accelerates, particularly in a tight mass of celluloid or nitrocellulose, the heat may build up to the stage where more is produced than can be dissipated by conduction or convection through the material. In this case, the mass will, quite suddenly, burst into flame.\n\nThe third danger of this reaction is that it proceeds with great violence at temperatures insufficient to inflame ordinary combustible material. Thus, at 170-180 degrees Centigrade, celluloid almost immediately inflames, and at much lower temperatures (130-140°C) combustion will suddenly take place after a period measurable in hours rather than days.\n\nIt would appear from this that celluloid was too dangerous a commodity for much humanity. But these are laboratory results; in practice, a number of other considerations enter.\n\nFor example, in a hermetically sealed vessel (such as a bomb) the oxides of nitrogen produced in the reaction are reduced to harmless nitrogen, and the reaction stops. In the presence of plenty of air, for example, in a box of celluloid toys, the oxides of nitrogen are dissipated and do no harm.\n\nA constant small supply of air is necessary for the reaction of decomposition; and, in passing, this condition is admirably fulfilled by a well-closed but not hermetically sealed drum.\n\nBut the most important consideration remains. In the early days of the celluloid industry, these fires from self-ignition were very frequent; but careful research has now tremendously reduced the hazard. Firstly, it was found that really pure nitrocellulose was far less liable to this decomposition than impure material. Secondly, a \"stabilizer\" was added to celluloid, which reacted chemically with the oxides of nitrogen and rendered them harmless.\n\nThe result of this work is to be seen to-day, when immense quantities of celluloid film circulate around the globe, and fires are comparatively rare. Nevertheless, the inherent vices of self-combustion, and of combustion at low temperatures, remain in celluloid, and the stringent precautions required by law in all countries attest to the continued danger.\n\nOnly this year, at Richmond, in England, a disastrous fire broke out in a film-washing plant, and at the enquiry, the probable cause was concluded to be this self-same reaction of decomposition of the celluloid, brought on by a spell of hot weather. It is needless to remark that under tropical storage, such decomposition must be a greater hazard than in a temperate climate.\n\nPage 90  \nPage 91",

        "content_text": "# Mr. Sidebotham.\n\nYou will see that the suggestion has been made (emanating from Mr. Wallace) that Hong Kong should acquire the funds which form the subject of No.1 by means of a State lottery. State lotteries are not unknown in the Colonial Empire; for instance, one has existed in Malta for a number of years and another has just been introduced in Gibraltar. Nevertheless, the accepted policy is rather to frown upon State lotteries as an expedient of general application in the Colonial Empire, and the reasons for this are, I think, sufficiently clear. State lotteries are very far from being a stable source of revenue, and they tend to deceive Colonial populations into thinking that a pleasant and easy source of revenue has been found and that more positive (if less palatable) methods are therefore unnecessary.\n\nThey may, therefore, act as a real brake on the introduction of sound fiscal policies, particularly at a time of difficulty and crisis.\n\nI have a feeling that such arguments would be particularly applicable to Hong Kong at the present time, and I should be very loth to see an official suggestion to Hong Kong from this end, to the effect that State lotteries should be introduced, particularly at a time when the Treasury are releasing Hong Kong from Treasury control on the acid assumption that the financial administration of the Colony, about which there have been doubts in the past, will be vigorously pursued. There may, however, be arguments on the other side, and given the Chinese mentality, it is certainly possible that a State lottery in Hong Kong might be highly successful in the direct and limited sense of bringing in money.\n\nIt seems to me obvious that we must now wait until Mr. Follows arrives home and then discuss with him, as part of our general talks about the finances of Hong Kong, the whole question of financing the projects in No.1. I can see no harm at all in our mentioning the possibility of State lotteries in conversation with Mr. Follows. No doubt the Treasury would be present, and they could add their own comments, if any.\n\nIf you agree, perhaps we could send on the interim reply which I have now attached, and the file could then be recirculated to Mr. Wallace to ensure that it is brought up when Mr. Follows arrives (I am not sure of the date).",

        "content_text": "69\n\ne\n\npossession of use of such explosives, where with proper care is should not so result, is prima facie evidence of negligence. The onus in this case of proving that there was no negligence would rest on the defendant.\n\nApart from negligence, the use of the land by one person in an exceptional manner that causes damage to another is actionable under a doctrine known to lawyers as the doctrine established by the case of Rylands v Fletcher. It was applied in the case of Indrubets v Balvalore Fish Guano Co. (1921) 2 AC 465.\n\nIn that case, the defendants stored on their property a large quantity of dinitrophenol for the purpose of manufacturing picric acid on behalf of the Ministry of Munitions. On September 1, 1916, a violent explosion occurred, causing loss of life and serious damage to adjoining property, including that belonging to the Balvalore Fish Guano Co., who instituted proceedings to recover compensation for their loss. It was accepted in that case that the defendants did not know that the danger existed, but it was held that this in itself afforded no excuse and that the defendants were liable.\n\nApplying the above principles to the present case, we are of the opinion that (apart from the special circumstances and the indemnance certified above) the War Department are liable to pay compensation for the loss and damage caused by the explosion and that the answer to the general question stated in para 4, (b) of the War Department's letter of 1st October is affirmative.\n\nWith regard to question (i) in the said letter, we do not feel competent to answer it definitely as we can find no legal authority on the point. However, applying the general principles stated above, it would appear that when storing explosives being a potential danger to the civilian population, warning should be given as soon as possible and failure to do so would be evidence of negligence.\n\nApplying the same principles to the other questions, the answers are:\n\n(ii) Every possible care should have been taken to safeguard the civilian population when clearing the dump.\n\n(iii) It has been held by the Civil Courts that persons who leave explosives where they may be meddled with by children or by others who are not aware of their dangerous nature are liable unless they can show that they were not negligent.\n\n(iv) The duty to warn the civilian population of the danger would, we think, be included in the general duty to take the highest possible degree of care as mentioned above.\n\n(v) There is no distinction between the duty to take care in the use of explosives and the duty to warn of the danger.",
