HONGKONG'S WATER SUPPLY,

Were it not for the fact that the dry sea sun has practically passed the figures sup. plied by the Director of Public Works under the heading "water return" would be far from reassuring. It seems that at the end of March the total quantity of water in the four reservoirs-Tytam, Byewash, Poklu- lam, and Wong-nei-cheong-amounted to 67,427,000 gallons, whereas last year at the same date. there were 257,630,000 gallons, or four times the amount there is to-day The Wong-nei-cheng reserve shows the greatest proportionate falling off, for there are only 17,000 gallons where there were over ten and a half millions at this period last year. Tytam has over 55 millions as con- trasted with considerably over 200, millions, white Byewash is empty. During the month of March the total consumption was 91,956,000 gallons, and as there were only some 62 millions in reserve at the end of the month it will be apparent that we were on the verge of a water famine. A curious.

Mr. Slady said that he had several letters bearing on the case which he wished to submit, but he land not had time to have them translated or certified at present, and therefore could only put them to the expert witness formally, and would have them translated and certified later, Mr. Sharp said he would raise no objection to that course, and the latters could be put in at any time.

CHINA SUGAR REFINERY

EXHIBITS IN THE IMPERIAL INSTITUTE,

Hongkong is the centre of an important sugar industry, although the Colony does not itself actually produce any suger. One portion of the trade is in the hands of natives, who im. purt, brown sugar, chiefly from Swatow-the. principal sugar-growing district of South China the Philippines, Hoihow, Touron, Canton, and to some extent from Javs, and re-ship it for consumption to the northern markets of China and Japan.

Of much greater importance is the sugar. refining industry conducted by two compasice, the China Sugar Refining Company, Ltd., and the Taikoo Sugar Refining Company, Ltd. The former company also possesses a distillery, The refining industry was commenced on a small scale in 1874, and has now reached largo' proportions, the annual output of the two com- ponies working at full power being estimated at 250,000 tons.. The principal market for the refined product is found in the northern part of Chinn.

Hongkong or rather Victoria are more than twice as thirsty as the residents in Kowloon, for while those who live on the island require nearly 13 gallons of water per capita per diem, the suburbanites on the mainland are quite content with 5.9 gallons per head, the average for Hongkong being based 'on a population of 232,500 while that of Kowloon is estimated at 78,250.
