Hongkong's Sanitary Affaira,

The Banitary anthorities will require to be more thorough in their methods of inspecting sich 'alleyways, as it is clear that the conditions complained of wonid.; not have been so obvious had there been adequate inspection. If auch inspection is mane and the owners of the buildings alluded to given the necessary warning of their position regard- ing the abase, we feel sure that very soon there would be litils cause for complaining of the condition of alleyways. The matter brought forward by the Hon. Mr. Hewett also amounts to a serious defect in which possibly blame attaches to many quters. It is, auquestionably, as pointed out by the Hon. Mr. Howest;

Our Obsolete Navy. Admiral Sir Percy Scott, fore-- shadows the doom of the Dread- nought and super-Dreadnought through the advant of, the submarine and its torpedo. He contends that battleships, and, indeed, all vessela which do not possess the quality of submarines, are very shortly to become obsolete. This pronouncement, coming from such a distinguished authority, has naturally been received with some alarm in naval circles, while the cartoonists, who seldom iske things seriously, have been moved to the portrayal of various versions of John Bull weeping over the scrapping of his costly and invincible mays: "Submarines and aeroplanes, saya Admiral Scott!! have entire- ly revolutionised naval warfare.
