THE FEATHER TRADE AND WILD BIRDS. "Civilisation and agriculture," 1 Huys, aro opposed to and destructivo of those conditions favourable to wild life. In virgin country it has always been the habit of colonials and settlers to tlostroy the surrounding junglo by fire, in order to clear the ground for future crops and other purposes, thins destroying entirely tho incans of sustenance of agroal many living creatures, oven if they oscapo the conflagration. By felling trees, draining-land,-and- destroying marshes, many specios are driven by the sottlor to other parts." We have seen a siniiler thing hapon in Kowloon. Years ago that little peninsula wasnoted. for the great variety of gorgeous butterflies which had their libitat thero. Today they are not, for the reason that the swamps. have boon drained and the primeval, bush uprooted to give place to dwelling houses and industrial buildings of all kinds..

Claude Duval, Fiction, too, pays HONGKONG-
its part by beguiling the logos with fantastic pictures of a Rafllos oran Arsene Lupin, and the modern criminal is tou blton vost- ed with one of the romance that with more reason belonged to the highway-man of old." "This, all will agree, is an interesting view of the problem, and there is doubtless a good deal of truth in it, though we would hesitate very much to accept it as the une aud only explanation of the increase of crino. Indictable offences have ineroased in Hongkong in recent years. Are siel reasons ne' Mi, Simpson advances for the in- crease of crime in the United Kingdom applicable hore also? We do not think so.
