COLOUR BLINDNESS,

At a lecture delivered the other day before a meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society, in Lon- don, Mr. H. G. Wells, the author of a series of "Anticipations," appears to have forecast the future of the dark, brown and yellow racen of Asia, and pronounced with some degree of

THE TRADE MAE ORDINANCE,

1698.

APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION OF TRADE MARK.

TOTICE is hereby given that THE DIS 8-12, Torphicben Street, Ediningh, Scotland Distillers, have on the 5th day of May, 1993. applied for the Registration in Hongkong in the Register of Trade Marks of the following TRADĚ MARK:--

confidence, that when the unity of the world is N TILLERS COMPANY, LIMITED, a accomplished by the white races, 50 years or a century hence, the sole test of admission to citizenship will be "efficiency and that the swaims of coloured races who do not come into the new needs of efficiercy "will have to go." Their position is, we are told," to die out and disapear" The process of extinction, it is to be feared, has already commenced and, the Right Honourable Mr. Barton of Australian fame has kicked off the first ball. Mr. Wells seems to have emitted undefine the tests of his "efficiency," but should they happen to be meat-enting spirit-drinking, bouncing and bullying, we may safely give up any hopes of

the future.

Joking apart, we are inclined to think that in his anxiety to propound some theory, the lecturer has donned the mantle of prophecy and entirely ignored the existence of anme physical faces which even the most scientific mind cannot overcome. One of these is the extraordinary reproduction. These coloured races have often survived to prognostics of many a visionary theorist, and if a large propor tion of the human race is content to remain in a comparatively low state of "efficiency," the so-called superior races will have to reckon seriously upon the existence of a hard fact. Even in the United Stues the Negro popala- tion, in the midst of a white civilization, is multiplying at an alarming rate. In South Africa, the same tendencies are to be seen at work. In Indi, despite several consecutive. years of the direst visitations of Providence- which might almust be expected to invest the preponderance of births over deaths-the peo ple of the soil are increasing rapidly. And above all, there is what is called the "Chinese problem with his countless hordes of yellow people Mr. Wells talks glibly of checks on reproduction as if the many hundreds of mil- lions of people must necessarily disappear if they fail to develop destructive personalities according to his ideas of "efficiency.". But what if a reaction were to set in? Suppose the people of China, with boundless capacity for labour, and the enormous undeveloped natural resources at their command, were to set them-

selves as they undoubtedly will some day-

Intimations.

BABIES AND CHILDREN should be fairly plump. They ought to put on fat as fast as they use it up for fat is fuel, and the burning of it makes power and force. Thin children-aven along to the age of eighteen or twenty-are in danger from con-

sumption, and from other wasting complaints.

The children who starve, and the young men and women who are consumed-why, the very idea of it is frightful. For such as they there is always what the Bible calls a "mighty famine" in the land. Food, though it may be taken plentifully, does not nourish them. It makes no fat; it gives no strength. To prevent this, to cure this, to save the young- ones at the mother's knees, and, the bright | boys and girls who are just looking at the world with hopeful and ambitious eyes, is the purpose of

These Pianos will be of guaran they tried, make the white nations climb down teed quality and will be sold at exceptionally from their commanding position in the markets low prices, of the world; and they might do this, be it noted, while respecting completing those ideals of the "efficiency" of the future of the human race which Mr. Wells pronounces with sa much pains and skill, We do not suggest that this possibility will ever be realised, but if ever the vast field of labour in China is organised by Chi-WERNER, UPRIGHT GRAND nese and directed by Chinese, the ultimate result may conceivablý, hegto lower the standard of comfort-which to a great extent is the same thing as the standard of civilization-among the European nations. And if ever that stage is reached, the airy structures reared by Mr. Wells may come toppling to the ground. We con- tend that in propounding his theory of anticipa tions Mr. Wells has never dreamed that the people of Chin, who can live infinitely cheaper than white men, and work harder and longer, may some day so far intrude into the present system as to make the European a poorer- and therefore looking at his environment, a less efficient-man, The awakening of China may ultimately intensify the struggle for exis- tence in the West, but to argue and set up a theory of anticipations, that in the future struggle for existence the coloured man "must go and vanish "before the advance of the white races is to set aside and ignore the teachings of experience and of certain economic and physical facts and slightly savours of colour blindness.
