This is kept carefully, locked up in a safe, and considerably more than a ton of lead is used to protect not only those actually engaged in radium and allied work, but people in neighbouring rooms. Scientists who breathe radium gas while dealing with the mineral some- times suffer from nightmares afterwards.

The precautionary measures adopted are two-fold. In the first place, the obvious danger to the hands of the operator renders it necessary that the tubes contain- îng radium or radium gas should be handled with forceps. The danger of damage to the deeper structures of the body has also to be guarded against. This dan-

Programme of Visit.

The exact purpose of the con- gress is to effect an international exchange of the latest knowledge of dairying and of the value of milk in the human diet. Begin- ning with a reception by the three Cabinet Ministers at Lan- cashire House, the chief sessions will be held at the Central Hall, Westminster, and papers will be rend on every phase of milk pro- At duction and distribution. intervals the delegates will visit the dairy plant of various London firms, and the Royal farms and dairy at Windsor.

From July 10 to July 14 the congress headquarters will be at the Royal Agricultural Show, Nottingham. At this show there will be the largest exhibition of dalrying machinery ever seen in Britain, staged specially for the visitors. The congress officially concludes on July 12, but after- wards unofficial tours to various parts of Britain will take place.

Lord Desborough presided at a luncheon at the Holborn Restaur ant, and said that dairying re- presented practically one-third of the total agricultural wealth of the country. The production of milk exceeded one and a quarter thousand million gallons a year. The head of dairy stock now. amounted to 8,250,000, and had increased 30.000 in the past ber of milk the industry Ar shot of 250,000.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Several times each week, cables come through with reports of question, and statements in the House of Commons. The topic is China. Interest at Home and in other parts of the world is as keen as it was at any stage. Otherwise so much publicity would not have been given: Many points arise, such as the position of British trade, British residents, the units in the former Shaforce, etc. Treaty revision is engaging the attention of a number of capitals. In short, the establish-, ment of the Nationalists in Peking has proved to be a matter of considerable concern.

This week has seen the Nationalist military leaders coming together in a form of working agreement; the diplomats an- nouncing a bold course in foreign relations; and the financiers taking of a new tariff irrespective of undertakings given hitherto. Reports from all centres, the "China" cables, ex- planations and copious footnotes will be found as usual in the "Overland China Mail."

Naval and Military occurrences in Hong Kong and in thè North China Command, the week's local news and other items will all be found in the "Overland," the only illustrated weekly summary of events published in Hong Kong.

WHEN YOU GO ON L...

Are you going Home on leave this year? If you are, you will be surprised by the number of persons who will ask you about China and Hong Kong. You will be astonished at the number and type of silly questions put to you in all good faith And you will have to admit reductantly (if only to yourself) that you are not quite certain. Will you be believed, though? Keep in touch with Hong Kong and China by having the "Overland China Mail" sent to you for a slipu- lated period.

By spending a little time while you are on holiday, you can keep yourself well informed if you have the "Overland."" The articles which you will seek are written to help non- Chinese to understand. In any case, you will not regret, from your own point of view, being posted with the main develop ments (reported in brief) while you are away.
