HONGKONG'S STORM SIGNALS À NEW CODE.

New local and non-local storm signals codes were introduced at Hongkong on July 1st, 1917, in place of the old Local Code and the China Coast Code.

The principal change in the Local Code is that the new signals will show the direction from which the gale is expected, whereas the old signals showed the posi- tion of the typhoott. The latter will be indicated, as heretofore, by the non-local signals. The now Local Code is given below:

In the new non-Local Code the approxi mate velocity of the atorm centre will be shown, in addition to its direction of motion, and the position of the centre will be given in degrees of latitude and longitude. The time at which the warn ing was ined will also be given.
