Pessimista will doubtless shake thei hels 'and say that the expense would be too groat. Let us examine that objec Such a canal to Birmingham would cost probably £100.000,000. The interest charged on that su would probably be £8,000,000, Birmingham and district import and export at least 40,000,000 tons annually. The rail charge to and from the port probably equals £1 per ton, so that the saving to Birming- ham would be obvious. I am not so very fold, but I can remember in my boyhood

Long before that happened, how. ever, the Manchester Ship Canal had be come valuable asset to Manchester. It enabled her manufacturers to buy their (cotton," their timber, their wool, and other raw materials at a lower rate. 1t enabled her to export her goods cheaper, But think of the value of the scheme, if started now, in relieving unemploy ment next winter. Immediately orders would be placed in this country for all kinds of material in the very factories which are despairing at the present ment. The steel factories would benefit most of all, and 1 suppose, these are the gan. grentest sufferers now. Orders would How in for perhaps £100,000,000 for Mea bridges, cranes, and electrical appliances which would all our depleted factories Tues. with work. I do not believe these schemes would cost the Government a Wedi penny piece; on the contrary, they would relieve the Unemployment Insurance Thur. Fund. The unhappy unemployed would he taken off the "dole," and put on what the Labour Party before taking office In called useful productive work. the end we should have an asset which would be of enormous value to the manu facturing interests in the Midlanda, "I am convinced that if our country is to be put back again into a state of pros perity we must have big ideas.

FINGER-PRINTS X-RAYED.
THE BONES SHOWN
AS WELL.
The X-rays negative sent by wire from New York to Chicago by means of photo- telegraphy, recently, is not the first in- stance of telegraphing an X-rays photo- graph nithough it is the first occasion on which a radiograph has been telegraphed for medical diagnosis,
Finger-prints have been "transmitted over the French telephone lines by M. Edouard Belin, and finger-prints are now being made in France on a new sys- tem by means of X-rays. The fingers are Grst rubbed over with a kind of ointment containing lead compound which is very opaque to the X-rays, and an X-rays photograph is then taken. The linea in the skin, filled with the lead ointment, come out very clearly in this manner, and with them appears a radio-graphic picture of the bones of the finger.
It has been found that the exact shape of the bones is never the same of any two individuals, so that a double means of identification is supplied by the X-rays finger-print.
Yard experts have carried out numerous experiments in the tele graphy of ordinary finger-prints; the firat prisoner identified in this way was identified by means of a code method in- vented by Superintendent Collins.
We are extraordinarily, short-sighted in the way in which we use our national credit for Imperial purposes-Sir difred Mond, M
