An invention which, it is hoped, will revolutionise the gramophone industry, has been recently presented, at the Sor- bonne by Professor Pernot, hend of the Phonetic Institute, and yon great admiration, says n Paris correspondent. In brief, it is a record on a film instead of on a disc. The film roll of 40 yards in length can take as much as 40 ordinary dises, and the film is supple, therefore unbreakable, and of small volume. The film employed is used material from kinomatograph productions. The inventors are Mr. H. J. Johnson, an American, who has lived for over 20 years in Paris, and' his wife, a Frenchwoman. They have devoted many years to the working-out of their system.

The Bishop of Birmingham (Dr. Barnes), preaching at the institution of the Rev. Henry A. Kennedy to the living of St. George's. Edgbaston, said that any hope that the new Prayer Book would bring peace and or- der to the Church seemed to me illusory. In another thirty years the tendency to make Holy Communion the centre and cir- cumference of. Christianty would be as incomprehensible to the large majority of churchmen na the doctrine of the verbal Inspira- tion of Genesis was to most of them now. So far as he could see the position would be wor sened if the new Prayer Book were authorised, for it would, make legal a number of Catholic developments introduced into the English Church in the last fifty years, and regarded by Evangeli- cals as unsound.

Commander Locker Lampson, Conservative M.P. for Handsworth, speaking at Shipley, said we' were reaping in China the fatal results of our long policy of vacillation. The criminals of the Moscow Kremlin were the true begetters of anti-British Bolshevism in Shang- hal, yet we oponly confirmed them
in
their hateful vendetta by the mad advantages which we weakly accorded them in the way of re- cognition. It was an alliance too lopsided and costly to continue. It must cense before the British Em- pire had been ruined, and leave England free again and unfettered to hit back and hit hard.
The Imperial Bureau of Entomology at the Natural His tory Museum, Kensington, has completed the purchase of a house at Farnham Royal. Bucks, where field work on an extended scale will be carried on. In a new laboratory to be estab- lished applied entomology will ba practised for the benefit of agri- culture, and researches will be Imperial Bureau and the Entoma made into animal pests. The logical Society of London, with which it is allied, are repeatedly called upon to solve difficult pro- blems affecting Empire produce." One of the most recent relates to amoth, which caused enormous destruction in the coconut planta-. tions of Fiji. Apparently the moth was an introduction to the country in the past two or three years, for coconuts had previously been grown there without diffi- culty. The scientists' task was to find the original home of the insect in order that its parasites. might be imported into Fiji. Research having ended in failure, experts were sent out. Eventual- ly a similar moth was found in the Malay States, which attacks coconuts and which has one fly parasite.. This fly has now been imported into Fiji, and there is every indication that it is going to do great work. The moth s steadily losing ita aggressiveness.
