A great convention of delegates of open to all the breezes of land and sea, en the Equitable was held at Manhattan.joying an equable climate, and free from Beach one of New York's most delight-epidemics or recurrent diseases, should have ful seaside resorts-in September last, and a brief account of the proceedings appears in the magazine which is specially devoted to the work of the corporation's agents. There were a thousand delegales, and their enthusiasm was boundless. Pre-

an abnormally high death rate. It is a question which perplexes the inhabitants and amazer outsidera. The infant mortality is

stated to be 25 per cent., which is almost incredibile. The need for a Commission of Inquiry was abundantly clear. Perhaps one of the reasons for the high percentage of deaths is to be found in the fact that Singa pore is seldom visited by violent rainstorms; the year, but they are mere summer shower true, it rains on something like 186 days of which only serve, to sink the foetid matter further into the ground, where it festers and gives forth noxious gases which the infantile is, of course, that the sanitary provisions of system is unable to resist. The conclusion Singapore are utterly inadequate for the needs of the city. Hongkong, as the pre ident of the Sanitary Board showed the other day, has a death rate below the average of English commercial centres, and when the plague was a scourge to be dreaded as the summer approached, Hongkong rose to the occasion and practically stamped out the disease, robbed it of its terrors at least, till today, the plague cases in the Colony Singapore further illustrates the wisdom of arouse merely casual interest.

A QUESTION OF BANITATION.

Awakening at last to a realisation of the terrible mortality among infants and the high general death-rate of the community, the Legislative Council of Singapore decided at a recent meeting to appoint a Commission of Inquiry to investigate the whole subject, and submit recommendations for the amelioration of this unhappy state of affairs. It seems to be the opinion of thore best cal.") culated to judge in Singapore, that the root of the matter is to be found in 'the bad sani- tary system in force in that Colony. So far as Singapore in concerned, this is no new question time and again it has come before the Municipal Commission, only to be dealt with in the most perfunctory way. But ap parently the subject has reached an aculej stage, and under the enlightened règime of Sir John Anderson an effort is now to be
