According to a scientist, who has devoted twenty-five years to elaborating a new system of meteorology, we shall be able to predict an indefinite time in advance with almost absolute certainty, not only the coming of volcanic eruptions and other convulsions of nature, but the condition of the weather on any day in any year.

NETHERSOLE HOSPITALS.

From the annual report of these Institu- tions, presented at yesterday's meeting, it is satisfactory to be able to record that, through out the past year, the various departments of the medical missions have shown signs of progress. It is as well to record the fact that the Alice Memorial Hospital was erect- ed in memory of Alice, late wife of the Hon, Dr. Ho Kai, C.M.C., and was opened in February 1887, while the Nethersole Hospi-perienced has been remarkably successful.lright!
