TRIBUTE TO SCOTS

PIONEER

Glasgow, July 15-Sir Thomas Holland Vice-Chancellor of Edia burgh University, welcomed the delegates of the Institution of Mining Engineers whose summer meeting was opened yesterday. In the Library Hall of the Old Uni- versity, Edinburgh.

He said they had come to a dis trict which to students of goology was "classic ground," for it was in Edinburgh that James Hutton had produced his "Theory of the Earth" in paper read before the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 783. That work remained still as the main part of the foundation on whith the science of geology was built.

Hutton's work remained largely unappreciated until after his death in 1797, and then its essential prin- ciples were taken up by John Play- fair, who was at the time Profes sor of Natural Philosophy in the University, and published his fa mous work "Illustrations of the Huttonian Theory.

NAZIS TAME REPLY

BRITISH AND FRENCH NOTES NOT DELIVERED

Berlin, Aug 7.

The German Government have intimated that they will ** try to prevent German seroplanes from dropping pamphlets in Aus tria and are also prepared to stif- fen the censorship of wireless speeches.

This step follows the news of the intended British and French representations regarding the Nazi propaganda in Austria.

Although it was reported that the British and French Em- bassies in Berlin bad been instruc day morning, they were still un- ted to present the notes yester

delivered last night, owing to the absence of officials during the week-end." The Foreign Office, officially, are completely silent on the subject.

The notes, which are of an identical and friendly nature, point out the regrettable effect of Nazi interference in Austria. Reuter

| DIARY OF LOCAL

EVENTS

The barometer was steady at || 29.62 and this was taken as an in- dication that the disturbance is not approaching the Colony at present and will probably not affect Hong Kong to any great degree.

No. 1 local signal was hoisted yesterday morning.

The King took his seat in the Throne Room at 13 am, and the guard of honour of the Scots Guards, mounted in the quadran gle, presented arms, and their band played the National Anthem as the King entered.
