HONGKONG METEOROLOGICAL
SIGNALS.
A NEW CODE.
We have received from the Hongkong Observatory a new code of meteorological signals which comes into force at Hongkong on New Year's Day. They are the same as those at present in use at Shanghai, and will be hoisted on the mast beside the time-ball at Kowloon Point for the information of masters of vessels leaving the port. They do not neces sarily imply that bad weather is expected. The signals are as follows:-
A coue polut upwards indicates a typhoons to the North of the Colony.
A cone point upwards and drum below in dicates a typhoon to the North-East of the Colony.
A drum indicates a typhoon to the East of the Colony.
A cone point downwards and drum below indicates a typhoon to the South-East of the
Colony.

(RY "B. J.")
"Opium. I can remember when the sound of that word brought visions before me of hor. rors unspeakable. I conjured up scenes of le. garthy, of yellow-visaged celestiala lying in drugged Insensibility in reeking dens; of white men preyed on by shameless karpies; of rob beries, violent quarrels, and sudden death;

A cone point downwards and ball below indicates a typhoon to the South-West of the

Red Signale indicate that the centre is believed to be more than 300 miles away from the Colony.
Black Signals indicate that the centre is believed to be less than 300 miles away from the Colony.

"Give me your experiences as a smoker,” I said, handing him the money.
He laughed a weak laugh, and after bec ni ing the keeper of the dos, and getting a i ush supply of the drug in a little metal tray, he curl ed himself upon the couch, and began to pre pare a third of the opium for his pipe.
The den in which he lay was typical of many othere lying in that part of our city. - 'It was composed of the ground floor of a cottage-ODO of a tow-the floor being divided off by wooden partitions, each holding three or four couches, with room on each couch for two smokers.

The signals are repeated on the flagstaff of the Godown Company at Kowloon, and also, by day only, at the Harbour Office and on M's Receiving Ship,
LOCAL STORM-WARNINGS,
The Colony itself is warned of approaching typhoons by means of the Typhopa Gun placed at the food of the mast, which is fired whenever a strong gale of wind is expected to blow here.
