Police Reserve, I am not going to reply with a long speech this evening as no words of mine could express the pleasure 1 feel in nearing that my work for the Police Reserve is appreciated. Whatever I did was done from a sense of duty, and, of course, you all know that whatever measure of success attended my efforts, it was largely due to the loyal sup- part accorded me by the members, not forgetting the sound advice and great assistance always so readily and kindly given by our worthy chief. I must take this opportunity of thanking you, sir, for your patience and help on the umpteen times I had to ask your assistance; I woult also thank those of you who sa often, came forward and helped with extra patrola when I was short of men, and also those who turned out in cases of emergency when I had to call for Volun- teers several times at all hours of the day. and night. I am proud to say that you fellows played the game. As far as I can remember there was only one occasion, when our Platoon was wanted, for emer gency duties, that I had to revert to

SOUNDS OF THE SEA.
DO FISH HEAR?
Professor Bragg, in the course of series of lectures to juveniles at the Royal Institution, dealt with the sounds of the Ben, M
It is only near the coasts and on the surface that the sen makes a noise. Pro fessor Brage explained. In the depths the sea is wonderfully silent because the water is still and the creatures that live below move silently,
The reason of this ailence is that it is absolutely necessary to have bubbles collapsing before sound can be produced which the human car can distinguish. In order to illustrate this photographa were thrown on the screen showing round shot being dropped into water. In its wake were bubbles of water, add it was the collapse of these that made the noise, the lecturer explained, and not the impact of the solid body on the aur. face of the water. Then he recalled how- noiselessly an otter or a water rat can slip-into a pool compared with the sounds caused by the bad boy of the family-sur- reptitiously diving into forbidden waters. The reason is the shape of the body. As the otter and the water rat enter, the,, water slips along their bodies, and no bole is left for air to follow and make a noise.
Once upon a time, be expuined to a delighted youthful audience, he and some others equally interested in mysterious sounds went to the Zoo on a Bunday morning, choosing that day in order not. to provide an undue sauce of merriment. They wanted to know, how much noise fish make. Some fish were put in a tank and a penguin went in after them. Den pite the use of listening instruments not a sound could be beard as the chasq, went on. The reason is that when fish move they leave no cavities behind them. This led up to diagrama showing experimente that had been made during the war to find the beat shape for airships. realta were in favour of a blunt nea tapering off to the tail, the same shape ash. There is consequently a simi- bar in the shape best suited for pro- gress in air and water, but the professor

As a finalo to the lecture Professor Bragg performed some delighful experi ments.
