To-day's issue of the D.7. includes a telegram from Rome containing a very severe criticism of "we English by that well-known scientific man Cesato Lombrosi. He characterises us as eminently selfish, though great," and warns Italy most earnestly against the proposed new colonial enterprise in China, and compares the new European grasping after territory" to the fable of the fishermen who landed on an unknown island, raised their tents and boasted of the conquest they hid made, when suddenly they were thrown into the sea with all their paraphernalia, the island being simply an enormous whale which awakened under them. Professor Lom-bros thinks the same will be the case with hina.
