Sir Malcolm Delevingne support- ed Mr. Sato who proposed the in- sertion of the statement without the political passages.
Mr. Wang refused to retract and intimated that If China were not free to make her voice heard she would not remain in, the League. The discussion was adjourned.

The lectures are arranged by the Royal Institution, but this year they are being given nt the Institution of Elec- trical Engineers. Mr. Wood, in his second lecture recently, dealt particularly with the trans. mission of sound through air and water,

Sir M. Delevingne stated that one Bale firm exported over 3,500 lbs, of heroin to Holland in 1927. M.

Touching on another pheno- menon in connection with sound waves, Mr. Wood dealt with what is called the "silent zone." As an example, he quoted the disastrous Silvertown explosion of January, 1017. On that occasion the whole county of Cambridge was a silent area, while in the more distant counties of Norfolk and Lincoln the report was heard.
Even more fascinating was the
