THE PHOSGENE GAS
DISASTER."
GERMANY'S INDUSTRIAL
QUOTA.
A DIFFICULT QUESTION.
'{THROUGH REUTER'S AGENOT.]
LONDON, June 11th, The recent disastrous explosion of phosgene poison gas at Ham- burg, in which many German sidents lost their lives, and others were taken seriously ill, was again the subject of questions in the House of Commons to-day.
Sir W. H. Davison (Cons) sought information regarding the right of manufacture, and he was told by the Rt. Hon. G. Locker-Lampson, the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, that under the Versailles Treaty, Germany was forbidden to manufacture phosgene for war pur- poses, but the manufacture of phos- gene for industrial purposes was allowed, up to a maximum of sine
tans daily.
Sir W. H. Davison declared that such an amount was enough to poison the whole world after a few months making, and asked how the Government could distinguish be tween industrial and war phosgene. Mr. Cocker-Lampson replied that if there existed any suspicion the League of Nations was catitled to institute an enquiry.

It was shown by tests conducted in the Plymouth Aquarium some years ago that fish can be trained to associate the sound of a sub- merged buzzer with the introduction of food. The results of Mr. Bull's experiments are even more remark- able.
For one of them a blenny, a small fish which in an aquarium likes to make its home in a jar, was chosen. The temperature of the water was slightly raised and 15 seconds later

DEAN INCE'S WARNING TO
YOUNG PEOPLE.
The Government is taking the pick of the working classes and educating them at the expense of the ratepayers to enable them to take the bread out of the mouths of the sons of professional men, said Dean Inge at Oxford recently, There is no question that the upper middle classes are the cream of the community.
It is a dangerous symptom that these classes are dwindling, while
A fish in an aquarium in a darken- ed room learned to respond to the switching on of a light. A worm was introduced after a short in- terval. On the seventh day," a few seconds after the light appeared, the fish, which was at first motion- less, swam to the feeding place and remained there looking upwards at the spot where the worm was intro- duced.
It was finally taught to enter a
