Miners working in hot dry places drank large quantities of water, and perspired freely. This caused cramp and fatigue and excess of water in the body be- came formidable. To prevent water poisoning, a solution of salt in water to balance the loss of salt by perspiration was given. The results were striking. In one instance a miner of poor physique drank eight pints of water during. the shift. He had been a frequent sufferer from cramp, but after taking salt each day for three months had no signs of cramp. The best solution to use was one which contained 60 per cent of soldium chloride and 40 per cent of potassium chloride.

It is difficult to point to any feature of the present show which is significant of any change in agricultural practice, or which seems likely to produce any change. The extremely de- pressed state of agriculture, ren- ders the farmer unable to purchase even the standard machines and implements which he requires, and the consequent loss of the home trade, coupled with the impossi- bility of effecting appreciable sale abroad, has placed many of our agricultural machinery manu. facturers in a really serious pre- dicament. It is no good developing new machines at home. if there is no market for them, and we are confronted with the fear that when trade does revive, British makers may find themselves so far behind in design and experience that they are unable to supply the wants of their customers so well as their foreign competitors.
