In the House of Lords, Viscount Goschen justified Great Britain's vast increase in naval expenditure during the last fifteen years by the changes which liave occurred throughout the world. He did not think that the loss of fine Russian battleships justified the de crease made in the British programme...

Farl Selbourne referred to great changes which have taken place in the naval position of the world.

It is impossible to give more than a glimpse of Mr. Font's arguments, and indeed in the lay mind, without the bill and the statute book beside them, they would be mostly technical.

An account of the life and work of Madame Curio was then given, and of the part this lady had taken, in conjunction with her husband, in the separation of Radium chloride from Pitchblende residues. The lecturer pointed out that the rays from Radium would pass through paper, wood, and such metals as copper, and iron. He explained the use of the electroscope in detecting the rava, also of the spectroscope in separating Radium from other materials. The wonderful heating power of the new substance was described, and an account was given of the eff cis of the rays on photo- graphic plates, the body and eye, on the dura tion of life, and in disease. On account of its being de 4tructive and injzrious to vitality, Radium was described as a most powerful poi- son, which needed to be used with caution. A description was given of the particles that are constantly being projected from Radium, with- out, however, may 'appreciable ins of weight being noted, le recounted the theories that had been suggested as to the cause of the Invisible says, and filly, explained how an analysis of the rays themselves had shown them to be of free kinds.

Among the coins' were two coun terfeit dollars, and the rest were subsidiary coins

That was a point which seemed rather to have been overlooked in the original drafting of the bill.
