The penutimate meeting of the World's
Conference on Power at the British Em- pire Exhibition was divided on July 10tà into three sections, at which power for rail and water transport, techtient and commercial, education and standardia-

tion were discussed. In all over 300 papers dealing with power in all its phases, utilities, and applications have been considered „during two weeks" ser | sions by the representatives of between thirty and forty nations. Today there will be a review of the aessional activities, and consideration of future possibilities, and it is not improbable that resolations dealing, with these, aspects, to be sub- initted to the League of Nations, will he discussed. At one of the meetings on that day Prof. Luigi Lambart (Rome) received a cable from Amrtien aynoqué? ing the death of Mr. Benjanin G. Lane the Westinghouse Company). Mr. Lanıme had cöntributed to the confetyper a paper an American Power Station Electrical įs Equipment. That was his last contribu tion to the science of engineering.

NOT STANDARDISED SHIPS. Viscount Inchcape, in a
paper on Shipowners and Shipbuilders," said that it was in the resence of efficient ship- owning that orders for ships should be forthcoming with more or less regularity. Especially was this the case in the pas- senger trades of the great lines. Eficient shipowning_mad for efficien&shipbuihl ing and etheint shipbuilding for com mircially successfid shipowning. two things must continually act and pact. Having dealt with the influence of trade on ship types and the processes of evolution, he stated that the chief function of the shipowner, if he was to get the best values out of his relations with the shipbuilder, was a digestive one. It was up to him to accumsalute data from Toyage to voyage, to determine how much of that which was new in the way of idens could be usefully applied, to refers dit which was nos germane to profitabl and efficient running, and to pass op the selected data to his ship designer and shipbuilder. The paramount considera tion of the owner must be that the ship should be capable of earning her living. There were responsibilities which the aner and the builder must, for better The or for worse, shoulder together. projection of a group of expensive steamers of uniform typ. which might involve an expenditure of millions of puncis. demaniled in the most fortunat circumstances from owner and builder alike certain quality of courageous judgment and ant a little imagination," esites the basic attributes of knowledge and experience. As to design and con struction, the younger men, he said, were rager and able to grasp the opportunity, il today there were number of sufficiently Striking Axamples. Should types of ship's be standardised! It was hractised to a limited extent, but under drdinary circumstances there was nothing to recommend the mass production of standardised, ships. That was a method which might be described as the Come

It must never be for- gotten, however, that neighbouring races had time and again shown their capacity to receive British ideas in shipbuilding and to improve upon them. But the Kritish had shown themselves-there were notable instances during the war-cap- 25th Aug.
able, too, of assimilating the creation's of clever foreign brains and, in no long and time, of going one better, and there was no reason why we should not do this in the matter of technical schooling. Ele- mentary science in our primary schoola, of whatever type, and technical study in our secondary and public sebools, were to-day reviving a mesure of attention greater than ever before, and this process must continue and expand if we were to regain our old place in the world.

OIL "COME TO STAY.
A series of twelve papers on marine transport in Britain. Arranged by Mr. F. A Hook, the elitor of "Blue Pelir, represented the contribution of Britain, and it was noteworthy in many ways. chiefly in the indication it gave of recent changes in the design and construction of ships, in the realization of lower fuel costs and higher speeds in propulsion in the gradual indux of the Dirsel into shipbuilding, even of the "highest: type of vessel, and the position of re- tric propulsion. The outstanding move- ments and problems in the shipbuilding industry were indicated, not as highly intricate technical studies clear only to the designer and the, rágineer, birt na brand issues plecting policy" dur ever finance
Mr. F. J. Leathers, whose contribution was Fuel and their supplies. for sen transport, remarked that oil had come to stay, and said that it was surely time that public bodies should recognise this fact by removing those anomalies in their regulations which tended to restrict use- fulness. Oil fuel was not dangerous if properly handled and stored.
Mr. J. C. V. Beith had a paper on The influence of broadcasting," and submitting that, rightly guided, develop ed, and controlled, broadcasting might become one of the most potent world in- fluences, and particularly so in the sphere of education.
