TBE EARTHQUAKE IN Hone KoNG.-The
Hong Kong papers unite In describing the phe-
nomerOn which visited the colony on the morn
ing or the sd of June, as having been an an mis-
takeable shock Of an earthquake. The first
impression caused by il was that the cuuDowder
stored at StOnecntter's Island had exploded. or
that steam boiler had burst. The rambling
and trembling of the earth lasted fully fifteen
seconds, bringing down corniCes in houses on
the Prays, while at the Hong Kong Fire In
suraDce Station the engine ran out OF the house
on the Paya. At the Police Court there was a
loud noise, as If heavy weights were being
drawn across the floor. Bells in private houses
were TuDg, and so great was the oscillation
that the large bell at the Central Fire Sta
ton doomed twice, while in the Police COM
pound the earth was observed TO roll as a wave,
causing much alarm. The harbor was much
disturbed, and several sampans were capsized,
while masses OF jelly fish rose to the surface,
disappearing again when the shock had passed.
The Chinese population showed great fear,
and rushed from their houses into the streets.
Two small Chinese houses in the HOLLYWOOD
road were thrown down and the occupants
buried in the ruins. They were fortunately
rescued with little injury beyond bruises At
the joss-house some workmen were engaged in
hanging large ornamental glass candelabrs,
when, without any cause or notice, they sud-
denly found themselves PROSTATE before the two
dragons which guard the entrance. while the
candelabra lay smashed Into a Thousand pieces.
The men got up and ran into the building,
where they Frustrated themselves before the
Joss figures, yelling at the top of their voices In
a few minutes the iOss-house was filled with a
frightened crowd OF devotees, who were praying
to the idols to ward o a the anger of the Genius
of Fnngshuey. Mothers placed their babes on
the affairs and bowed to joss, while many others
were heard lamenting this visitation Of the
"Tea-loDg-" or Earth Dragon" to whose
movement in changing his position beneath thu
surface they attribute the shaking AID rambling
noises OF an earthquake.

London Threatened with an Ant
Plague.


No little anxiety, says the Psn Mall Gazette,
has been caused in the neighborhood OF London
during The last few days, BY the sudden appear
ance of myriads of ants. A vanguard OF these
insects has even been seen marching over
Waterloo bridge, and it is impossible TO deny
that oar position Is at this moment one OF ex-
treme peril. At any moment the invading army
may be upon us, and we shall then be exposed
TO all the horrors OF an ant plague. Those who
are accustomed 20 look upon the ant as an in
dustrious but Insignificant creature, will probs-
bly, smile at the lnea Of its presence, even in
swsrms, being q source Of serious inconveni-
ence. Without any wish to eau e an unnecessa-
~ panic, but merely with the view of preparing
LondoDers for posi- BILE contingencies, il may be
rs well TO call attention to the proceedings OF an
army of ants that some years ago invaded the
descended from the hills like torrents
and the plantations, as well as every path
and road for miles. were filed with them.
Rats, mice and reptiles of every kind became
An easy prey 20 them, and even the birds, which
they attacked whenever they lighted on the
ground In search of food. were so harassed as to
be at length unable 10 resist them. Streams OF
water opposed only 8 temporary obstacle 10
certain death, and fresh armies Instantly fol-
lowing, till a bank was formed of the carcasses
Of those which were drowned sufficient to dam
up the waters aud allow the main body to pass
over in safety. Even FIRE was tried without
effect. When il was lighted to arrest their
route they rush &C into the blaze in such myris ads
as 10 eXtipguisb it," To such straits was the
unfortunate island reduced by the ants that
rev ard OF -enty thousand pounds was OfsTe J.,
but II vain. lur an etfectuai means OF DESTROYING
tL' IL; and il was not until hurricane in 1850
came ana blew them awaF ami drowned them
being, by the way, almost more mischief than
the ants-tEat Grenada was freed from these
terrible G1StroyeTs. Happily, In London We
have The steam roller, which should be kept
ready for immediate action in the face of the
calamity with which we are now threatened.
