Bimilar catastrophes; but that time, happily, ia past, and, as is proved on the present occasion, tho Chinese now readily show in the most practic land convincing manner that they realise the enormous affliction that is caused. From the lists of contributiona which we have recently from timə to time published, it would be noted that the Chinese have come forward to succour the unfor tunate in this great disateer by contributing most liberally.

is but right that the community as a whole should show their. sympathy and also contribute to the alleviation of the distress. The inhabitants of the West. River districts are our neighbours with whom we trade in the most omicable manner. Apart from that, the claims of humanity de mand that we should tender assistance. The losses entailed by the calamity will inevitably be far-reaching, au, it is feared, that the rice crops are ruined and that the silk industry will also be seriously affected It is to be hoped that there will be no re currence of the floods and that" the divostuted area will soon be able to support the many thou- sands that rely upon its fertility.

precautions against the outbreak of devastating epidemics when the No. 1683. waters have subsided. Honan, the Province adjoining Kwangtung, has also suffered seriously, parts, from foods during the past month, and we notice in one of the reports the statement that a' special donation to the Police Commissioner of Changsha of Tla. 1,000 was used to purchase car bolio, chlorinated lime, lime, and other disinfectants. A special corpa of 400 coolies under 100 eapervisors was trained in the use of disinfectants by Dr. Hame and: Dr. Yen of the Tale Mission, and the people themselves cleaned their houses thoroughly and quickly and welcomed the diein- feotors Commissioner Chang's proclamations on the liability of disease following the flood are described as thoroughly modern in tone. It is to be hoped that this excellent example will be speedily followed in the West River towns, otherwise the people will have redaon to fear worse tangere even then the floode
