Literary Council
It is regrettable that our activ ities have fallen off considerably owing to the very great difficulty of persuading Members to prepare Papers and/or Lectures on techni cal subjects. Only two Papers have been read during the Session:-One by Engineer Capt, W. E. Michèl}, RN. (Member) entitled "Some Difficulties in the Manufacture and Trials of Diesel Engines." One by Mr. W. . E. Millor (Member) en titled On Broadcasting. Our sincere thanks are due to these gentlemen for their very.interesting Papers which were very much ap- preciated by Members and friends.
The attendance of Members of the Hong Kong University En- gineering Society at our lectures has been most gratifying and we sincerely trust that they will give us their support in future. We also wish to record our thanks for the many kind invitations Members have received to attend lectures at the University,
The kind co-operation of Mr. C. A. Middleton Smith, Taikoo Pro- fessor of Engineering, and the stu- dents, is always extremely helpful.
Billiards,
During the year billiard returns have improved considerably, in fact the last month reached a figure which is almost a record.
The Committee of management have extended their grateful thanks to Mr. G. C. Watson; Members of POSITIONS WANTED. Wo Fat Shing Co., and Messrs. A. S. Watson & Co., Ltd.; for their Kindness in presenting cups for com petition.

Hos. Treasurer's Report. The result of the year's working is a loss of $1,316.93 as against a leas for 1929 of $3,750.05:
The cost of redecorating the premises early in the year VILLA $1,000 of which sum 8800 has been. written off in the 1990 Accounts, leaving a further 8800 to be charged against Income "and Expenditure Account during 1930.
Income for 1929 shows an increase over the previous year of 83,200 due chiefly to the following caties:- Profit on Bar, increase, $2,608; Billiards Receipts, increase, 8931: profits on Christmas Draw. Race Sweeps and Concerts, etc., increase, 8026; less decrease in subscriptions, $552.
Cash on Fixed Deposit at Decem ber 31, 1929, was less than the pre vious year by $6,300 due to 87,300 being withdrawn during 1939 from Deposit to pay for the cost of Redecorating the Premists and wiping off the overdraft in Current" Account, at the end of 1928.

COLLECTION WORTH 235,000.
Curators at the London Zoo are just now asking themselves auch questions as "What is the aye aye worth for they are finishing their annual task of valuing every cres ture in the collection-except those on loan--for the yearly audit.
Regular visitors to the gardena would probably find it hard to give a rough estimate of the total value of the collection. Actually it is worth about £35,000, though the value naturally fluctuates from year to year.
Many familiar animals have" a fixed value. Thus Indian elephants £700: Indian rhinoceroses, £1,000: are worth £800; African elephants,. African rhinoceroses, £350: Ameri- hippopotami, £500; tions, £550; can bison, 2500; giraffes, £300:

Young seals, again. are barely worth the carriage, since they do not thrive on forcible feeding, the only practicable method on a jour- ney. Those, therefore, that aur- vive the trials of infancy are worth a hundred times their cost price.
The cost of keeping an animal is taken into consideration in esti- mating its worth. Some, like the walrus, consume daily so pounds of fish, flesh or fowl that their value is thereby decreased. "The two most uncommon crea- tures at present in the Zoo are the takin and the great echidna. The takin is valued at £200, though visitors are not greatly attracted by it. The great echidna, too; pre- fers its sleeping box to the lime- light, and has to be ruthlessly hauled out by its keeper, whenever. visitors wish to view it.

"Yes, it was my husband after all," interjected the woman, "O' now I want a warrant for his arrest under the maintenance order."
Mr. Bingley, the magistrate, sug- geated later that she should have a talk with the missionary about it.
