PROTECTION OF WILD LIFE.

The subject of child labour in China was discussed in theze columns the other day, and a word may be said of the attempt that is at present being made to get the Government to take action in order to protect the wild life of the country from extermination. 1 is a well-known fact that the average Chinese knows little of kind- ness towards animals er birds, whether wild or domesticated. To be sure, many of them keep birds in cages and appear to treat them well, but aside from the question of whether the cooping of birds in cages is not in itself cruel (and Europeans are far from exempt from censure in this respect) it is a moot point whether the Chinese koop these birde so much from love of them as with an eye to making money out of them.
