OUR GREAT SCARE.
es
It is reported in Amoy that the late scare, was occasioned by somebody or other getting the idea into his head that, the French were about to take the place. Anyhow the carter turned up there, but left again on the arrival of the Glory, Eclipse and Daphne, though nobody seems to know the why or
wherefore of it all. It is rumoured that when the Descartes left Amoy she went out to in tercept the Pipere and tell her that the taking of Amoy was off for the present, and the two ships went on to. Foochow Latest advices from Amoy state that both the Arlipse and Daphne were coaling and were expected to leave shortly.

OVERCROWDER, LAUNDRY. Inspector G. Hoggarth had a case this morn- ing that at first sight seems very trivial but, on one looking into the matter, is very im- portant to the public. Cheung Fun, of 14 Hollywood Road, was charged with fitting up his laundry with banks for a greater number of persons than the law permitted.
The charge sounds bald, but the condition of things can better he imagineil than des. cribed. Many hundreds of Europeans suffering from a loathsome skin disease ought to thank Inspector Hoggarth for unearthing these cases. The defendant was fined $to or fourteen days.

THE LAMA IN TOKYO.
Tokyo journals are full of accounts of the Lama's visit to the capital, says the Japan Daily Mail. It appears that a large crowd assembled at the Hongwan Temple in Tsukiji on the 23rd ult., when the Lama and his suite made their appearance on the platform, but those that had come with the hope of hearing the great man speak were disappointed. His substitute alone came forward, and the speech. he delivered was very brief and conventional. He said that he had never seen such a crowd assembled on a religious, occasion in any country, and that the fact must be taken as an indication of the vigorous condition of Buddhism in Japan. Thibet and Japan were separated by a long interval, but they had a
common creed and it should be their alm to work together hand-in-hand for the promotion not only of religious progress but also of social.. The Lama is busity viewing all the sights of Tokyo, especially the religious and educational institutions. His movements are accurately chronicled by Tokyo newspapers, but the for- eign public will probably be content to learn that the visitors are following the usual routine observed by distinguished tourists; that they will conclude their sojourn in this part of Japan by a visit to Nikko, and that the Japanese are treating them with all the hospitality for which this country is famous.

HOW AGUINALDO SOLD HIMSELF

The Daily Express is responsible for the following:-"Aguinaldo sold out to Americans and let himself ue captured," said Mr. Edward McEvoy, a merchant of Manila, to an Express representative at the Carlton recently.

Aguinaldo sold out to Spain, and his second betrayal of the Filipinos was right in line with his record. His followers don't seem to care much as they are tired of the struggle, and are rather pleased at the compliment to their powers paid by buying them off.

MALARIAL FEVER.
The Health Officer's remarks, in the report of the Calcutta municipality for the year. 1900-1901, regarding the modern theory of the causation of malarial fever through the instrum- entality of the mosquito, are interesting. The tankis, pools, puddles, ditches and even the waste water from standpipes in and about Calcutta have been found to teem with the larvae of the anopheles when malarial fever is prevalent. The year 1900-1901 was a bad fever year and the larva were found in the vicinity of every locality in which the disease was most prevalent. In several instances in which fever occurred in good' European houses, larva: were found in close proximity. A serious. epidemic of fever occurred among the coolies of a firm of coal exporters. The Health Officer visited the ecoly lines and found the coolies well housed, supplied with filtered water and amidst clean surroundings. The fever was distinctly malarial.

In the French Chamber a practice is observed which might be followed with advantage in the British Parliament. The government has the right of introducing in the Chamber specialists to speak on their behalf on particular questions, and taking advantage of this privilege M. Doutner the governor of Tongking, delivered an elaborate speech on the Bill ratifying the arrangement for the construction by a company of a railway from Hai-fong in Yunuan. This is a subject which interests us in Burma, since it is sought to exploit the southern provinces of China from this side by means of a railway through Yunnan. The estimated cost of the French railway is 85 millions of francs, the government guarantee being only three millions. The contract granted to the company is for a
