The joint committee on oil discharge by ships, appointed by the Chamber of Shipping of the United Kingdom and the Liverpool Steamship Owners' Associa tion, in its report recently issued. ex- presses the opinion that naval vessels which use oil have been largely responsi- lile for oil pollution of the coasts.
The committee recommends handen forced in al: maritime countries, should prohibit the discharge of oily ballast water and tank washings by all vessels other than naval craft within 150 miles from the nearest coast, and that naval authorities in all countries should im- pose on naval craft corresponding re-} gulations.

SIR O. LODGE ON COLOUR WAVE-LENGTHS.
Sir. Oliver Ledge, the new president of the Radiu Society of Great Britain, in his presidential address recently, said there was a substance in the eye which was responsive to three wave-lengths, that of the red, gree, or violet rays of light, from combinations of which all colour impressions were made up.
The nerves, he believed, were stimu lated by the electrons thrown off by the atoms with considerable. violence when stimulated by the light. The nerves felt the shock of the ejected electrons, which
