All seemed to be taking the matter quite quicily and without any excitement, much as they would a 'good shower of rain. It was, unpleasant, but it was inevitable.

GOOD. WORK,

I should say that the work being done in this district will do good. The only pity is that it was not taken in hand months, or rather years ago. When it is completed. No. Dis. trict will be sweeter and cleaner than it has probably ever been in the whole course of its

existence.

On Friday and Saturday last a grand fumiga- tion of the whole of the houses in this district took place. It is said that many of the Chinese removed the bulk of their belongings before the work was commenced and this is certainly a pity. It could have done then no harm, and would undoubtedly, have sane a considerable amount of good, had every rag and stick breu subjected to the germ destroying fumes. This work was completed by four o'clock on Saturday, and the fact that it was married out under the superintenilence of Mr. Brown, the Government Analyst, wil vouch for its having been done thoughly,

To-day, the pened clean up had com. menced. The Sanitary folk, under Mr. Brown again, started in right at the top of the hill, downwards in the lower levels. Every house was thoroughly turned out as they came to it, particular attention being paid to kitchens and inckyards. All real filth, and there was tons of it, was removed to dust-carts in waiting, and a Ting collection it proved to be. This, as it came out, was sathered in chloride of line, and caned right away. As soon as the edge of the filth had been taken off house, along came a broom and bucket brigade with plenty of water and disinfectants and the whole house was washed down from top to bottom. If dirty, slimy woodwork was come. upon it was removed, and I can assure you That by the time the broom and butelet brigade bad been through a Louse the owner duin't know it, so clean had it suddenly becomte.

SHANGHAI, JUNE 19th. News has been received from the North stating that a certain militory Chujer (M.A.) named Tien Lob-shiang has started a society for the enrolling of the villages in the vicinity of Shunchow and has succeeded in persuading the inhabitants of 700 villages to join him. In the meantime he has actually 300,cco men under him including the troops of the Grand Army under the ex-Generalíssimo Yung-le, routed by the Allied troops last August. These people have plenty of modern weapons and appear to follow the Boxer rising. The tiene rat Li Tao Sun has been trying to suppress the rising but without success.

It is said that a body of French troops has gone forward, but no result has been heard.

This suggestion when offered to the Govern ment of India was rejected as an absolutely inconclusive experiment, but Mr. Gumpet is not discouraged, he pegs away, and hopes he will be listened to in the end. It seems a kind of anticlimax, la place faith in so simple a remedy when people will not willingly carry to their logical conclusion experiments in the elaboration of which scientific thought, machi- cry and tons of money have been expended, everyone, can preserve life or confer im if this remedy, which is within the reach of munity to prevalent diseases, why need the victory be still ever with death? Mr. Gumpel writes carnestly without bitterness, though he

does not hesitate to condemn scientists when he disagrees with them, and he presents his views in the clearest light without clothing them in ambitious technical language. The simplest reader can follow his arguments and can learn much from his very interesting pamphlet. He strikes at the root of received medical beliefs and gives his reasons for trusting or distrusting them and conveys much useful instruction on hygiene.

THE ENGINEER OF THE "RIO,"

SENTENCE REVOKED:

says:-

The San Francisco Chronicle of May 18th

Owing to the leniency of Captain 'John Bermingham, Supervising Inspector of Steam Vessels for Catiloin district, P..H. Herlihy, chief engineer of the wrecked City of Rio de Jeneire, may apply to the local inspectors on the 22nd day of June and receive his license the result of an appeal made to Bermingham as chief engineer of ocean steamers. This is from the decision of the local board, which on March and revoked Herlihy's license for neglect of duty on the morning of February 22nd, when the steamship City of Rio de Janeiro went down.

He first sought relief from the United States Circuit Court, but was told he must appeal to the Supervising In spector. Accordingly, on April 19th he asked by a rehearing of the testimony given before Bermingham for a reversal, which was followed the local Beard, Herlihy refusing to admi, his former testimony, on which he was convicted. He introduced nothing new and the very admissions of absence from his post of duly duplicated. on which he was originally sentenced were

WHY?

But now comes the question. Why was not all this done before. Why was it necessary to allow the plague to get a thorough hold of the place before such a necessary cleansing took place? Was it apathy, or criminal neglect, or what? If the Government can undertake such a large job now they could have done so years ago and should have done so.

A SUGGESTION..

I have a suggestion to make now, and one which I think might be carried out, I have seen the dirty, filthy, stinking dens in which the Chinese live both before and after they have Been thus cleanse, and the difference is too striking to need comment. Why not carry on with the work now in hand and go through the whole town. And, not only go through once, but, when the last house has been cleansed, start again, and don't always begin at the beginning. That is to say, keep a large staff of men constantly at work swabbing

The Bombay Gazelle says Mr. G. Godfrey Gumpel is determined not to be discouraged by the cold water that has been flung over him for his efforts to awaken the people of India, rulers as well as ruled, to the virtues of Common Salt. He returns to the fray with a pamphlet. on "The Prevention of Epidemic Zymotic Diseases in Indin and the Tropics generally, the net proceeds of the sale of which, after defying the cost of printing and publishing, are to go to the "Indian Famine Fund." The booklet is an indictment of the Government and its medical advisers, and an appeal to the people of India and Great Britain to form an Association to give effect to Mr. Gumpel's special views. He holds that so far it cannot be shown that the closest search for preven- tives or curatives of plague and cholera, by the cleverest and,mast devoted medical scientists have been in the remotest degree successful. down and let the Chinese know that at any As to cholera, he says "it can safely be asserted moment the Board may swoop down upon them that the physician stands as helpless at the and clean their premises for them.
