Sydney.-Lieut. Colonel Sir Edge- worth David, formerly Professor of Geology at Sydney University and a member of the Shackleton) Expedition, has given particulars of the rocks discovered in the Mount Lofty and Flinders Ranges in South Australia, which contain perfectly preserved remnants of animal life millions of years older than any hitherto classifted by science.

CHANGES AT BRENTFORD.
Mr. John W. Davis, former American Ambassador in London, spoke on somewhat similar lines. He declared that it would be easy to nanie a dozen well-organised campaigns in progress in America, all designed to subtract something from the sum of constitutional rights. It might yet become neces- sary, he said, to invoke a bill of [rights to prevent the "self-seeker and hot reformer from sapping and mining the Constitution."
