London, May 25.
House of Commons.—There was a lively passage of arms between Mr. Balfour and Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman with reference to fixing a day for a vote of censure. Mr. Balfour declined to fix a day owing to Sir Henry not having given the undertaking that the debate should be conducted in an orderly manner and because he is bound to see that there is no repetition of Monday's outrage. Sir Henry refused to give the required pledge, but finally added that he had no objection to other Ministers speaking before Mr. Balfour. The latter then fixed the 30th-inst. (Reuter.)

He is extremely proud of them, and hopes to amaze the rest of his tribe when he arrives home. His only misgiving is the effect on his inside. He expressed his fears in this way, "God gave me teeth and took them away when I grew old. He knows best. Now man has put new ones in. Can the doctor of the teeth tell me what is good for my inside?"
A meeting of the Cairo Scientific Society was held yesterday afternoon at the Kasr-el-Ainy School of Medicine. Dr. Craig presided. After the minutes of the last meeting had been read by Dr. Wilson, secretary of the society. Dr. Craig called on Dr. Elliot-Smith to read a paper on "Pigmies."
Dr. Elliot Smith, whose name is well-known not only in Egypt, but in any part of the world, by those who have studied anatomy, and especially those interested in the anatomy of the brain, then gave a most interesting lecture on pigmies in general, with special reference to those who have recently visited Cairo, and are now on their way to London. He pointed out that the six pigmies, consisting of four males and two females, who had been under their care in the Kasr-el-Ainy Hospital, and who had aroused such interest in the pigmy race, could not be taken as typical specimens. They are considerably smaller than the average pigmy, and had evidently been selected on account of their small size, and of the six, only two, i.e., one man and one woman, are adult. The ages of these two are in all probability approximately 35 years, and those of the other four are, as nearly as Dr. Elliot-Smith could estimate, eleven, seventeen, eighteen, and twenty years this last being the age of the second woman of the party.
Dr. Elliot-Smith passed a number of photographs round for examination, which showed the bones of the pigmies taken by Rontgen rays, and his lecture was also illustrated by excellent lantern-slides, which clearly showed up the various characteristics which Dr. Smith pointed out, as for instance the "pepper-corn" hair, the exceedingly broad alae or sides of the nose, and the peculiarly prominent abdomen.
Questioned by Dr. Wilson as to what he thought of their intelligence, Dr. Elliot-Smith said he considered that they were of a distinctly keener intellect than the fellaheen of Egypt, and showed much sharpness in recognising objects from drawings.
Dr. Keatinge remarked that on the afternoon on which the pigmies left Cairo they expressed their great delight at starting for England, by singing and dancing excitedly, and that both their music and their actions greatly resembled those of the negro inhabitants of Egypt.
We are enable to give a full account of Dr. Elliot-Smith's most excellent lecture to-day, but hope to be able to reproduce the full text of his paper in an early issue.
In the paragraph we published yesterday under the above heading, a typographical error occurred. We should have stated that the increase in the water pumped by the Water Company during the past 15 days was 20,000 metres cube per day and not 2,000 m. The following figures will be of interest. Since the 11th May, when the heat wave commenced, up to the 25th, the company have pumped practically one million metres cube. In 14 days this gives an average of 70,000 m. per day. For the corresponding 14 days last year they pumped 700,000 m, making a difference of 300,000 m. in 14 days, or rather over 20,000 m. increase per day. This will be of interest to the public, as showing the great effect the temperature has on the water consumption. 70,000 m. per day among, say, 60,000 people gives 116 litres per head per day, which we are sure cannot be considered a bad supply. The official of the Water Company whom we interviewed on the subject said : "If the public would only try to assist the company during these hot times by preventing waste as much as possible, they would. Besides making things easier for the company, greatly benefit themselves."

The committee of the Amalgamated Association of Operative Cotton Spinners, in their quarterly report, say— "During the past three months the cotton industry has continued in a state of prosperity which is without precedent for more than 20 years. From the beginning of January to the end of April the margin between the price of middling American cotton and 32's twist yarn shows an average of 3'47d. per lb., which is more than 1/2d. per lb. higher than the average for the corresponding period last year. Under these favorable circumstances handsome profits are now being realised by American spinners, and the accumulated adverse balances of the recent bad seasons are being rapidly swept away. Our members have been fully employed during the whole of the year and are gradually recovering from the effects of the prolonged short time working of the past year. Unfortunately, there is as yet no marked improvement in the Egyptian section of the trade."
The Khedive left Alexandria for Constantinople, as arranged, yesterday afternoon. After having received Mustapha Pasha Pehmy, the Premier, and the other Ministers, his Highness embarked on the specially chartered Austrian Lloyd steamer "Amphitrite" at 2.30 p.m. The Khedive was accompanied by H.H. the Khedivah, Prince Abdul Moneim, and the Princesses.
The "Amphitrite" weighed anchor at a quarter past three, when a salute of 21 guns was fired from Fort Saleh.
The vessels in harbour dressed ship on the occasion in honor of his Highness.

An open-air concert was held at the Kasr el Nil Barracks on Wednesday evening in celebration of the anniversary of Empire Day. An excellent programme had been arranged by Mr. R Watson Ramsey, bandmaster of the 2nd Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, and a large audience was present to enjoy it. The concert was commenced at 9.30 p.m. by the playing of Gounod's overture "Mirella" by the Inniskilling Fusiliers' band, and this was followed by a comic song, "Shifted lower down," sung by Private McCracken, who was loudly encore. Next came Mr. Lloyd-Jones, who gave us an excellent rendering of Martial's well-known song, "The River of Years," and he Was followed by Major J. P. Donegan, R.A.M.C, who scored the great success of the evening. Major Donegan started with a splendid parody on "The Boys of the Old Brigade" entitled "The Time Expired," and this was succeeded by another parody on "Peace," the song sung by the Rajah of Bhong in the "Country Girl." Major Donegan received encore after encore but was always prepared with an encore verse, none of which failed to draw great applauds on account of their originality and their references to the profession of the greater part of his audience. The first half of the programme was concluded by a display of club-swinging by Private J. McCreanor in which he showed great cleverness and smartness in the handling of the clubs.
In the second-half Lieutenant G. C. Adams sang "The Muleteers" and greatly pleased the audience with his rendering of it, and when as an encore be gave us "A Laughing Song" we were all compelled to laugh with him. Captain Tucker was in excellent voice , and the good old Irish song "The Old Plaid Shawl" well suited him, and made us wish for more, but want of time forbade any more encores being given. We must not omit to mention Mrs. Jackson and Private A. Hendry, who added to the comic element of the concert, and Sergeant Downes, R.E., who sang "Why did they sell Killarney." An excellent entertainment was there brought to a close at 11.30 p.m. by the playing of "God Save the King."

On Thursday 18th inst. the annual meeting of the Alexandria branch of the Soldiers and Sailors' Families' Association was held at the General's House, Mohamem Bey, Mrs….the acting president was in the chair, and of the committee Mrs. Gamble (vice-president) Mrs. Gordon and the Rev. H. B Norman-Lee were present. The attendance, for various reasons, was, unfortunately, not as large as last year. Among those present were Mm. Degiarde, Mme. Stouts, Miss Demeah, Mme. William Pegna, Mme. Mario Vells, Miss Pegna, Mrs. John Ross, Mrs. Lawrence, Mr. and Mrs. Moss, Mrs. Field and Col. Watson.
After reading the balance sheets of both the general and clothing ends, the general and clothing funds, the host secretary (Major Ludlow) thanked the members of the committee for the assistance that had given the past, and especially asked for a vote of thanks to Mrs. Gamble who, whilst already having by far the largest number of women to look after, had also most kindly undertaken the care of those of the Anny Ordnance Department, owing to there being no lady of that department in the garrison. He also expressed the great regret of the committees at the serious illness of Mrs. Norman Lee, and spoke of the loss her absence was to them. He then offered the hearty thanks of the committee to those ladies who so very kindly undertaken the work of collecting clothing and money for the association and paid a special tribute to the very great generosity and kindness of the foreign ladies, who not only by their generous gifts of money and clothing but by their kindly interest in the wives and children of soldiers of the Army of Occupation had very largely associated the committee. He explained that the wives and children of noncommissioned officers and men were not able to leave Egypt every year, when the hot weather commenced, like ordinary individuals, and that very often they had to remain out in this country for four or five years without change , and naturally become liable to the various ill effects which always result from a prolonged residence in a hot climate. He referred to the work of the clothing branch, which apart from ordinary cases enable the committee to provide with warm clothing, women and children, who after several years in the country, were ordered home to the much colder climate of England. In conclusion he again thanked the foreign ladies on behalf of the General Officer Commanding the officers, N.C officers and men of the Army of Occupation for their most generous and kindly co-operation in the work of the association. Special votes of thanks were passes to Mme. Degiarde, Mme. Alekakis, and Miss Demech.

A ladite do 1 adjudication au profit de Cbamla d'un lot de terrains expropriés par Koutiouki* sur Khoiralla llimad, poursuivi comme garaut solidaire de Salam Awad, Moutsa Banum avait (ait uue déclaration do sureu chère do dixiéme sur le prix de cette adju cation. Cette déclaration avait été suivie d'uno dénonciation aux parties intéressées désignées par la loi et des publications' légales.
Au'jour fixé pour la nouvelle adjudication et dès l'ouverture do l'audience, l'adjudica- taire surenchéri, sans signification préalable, demanda l'annulation de la surenchère pour cause de tardivité de sa-dénonciation. L'avocat du surenchérisseur étant absent, son manda taire deinabda «ja'il (fit sursis momentanément à tonte décision sur cet incident Sans s'arrêter à cette demande, le tribunal prononça par dé faut la nullité de la surenchère et déclara la ' première adjudication définitive. Survint l'a- vocat du surenchérisseur >iui, invoquant les • dispositions do l'art 125 du Code de Procédure •Civile^ demanda que le défaut'fut rabattu et ié débat ouvert, mais en vain. Le Tribunal re fusa le rabattement ot s en tint à sa première décision.^
Sur l'appel do cette affaire, la Cour viontde réformer'le jugement attaqué : elle déclare la surenchère faite par Moussa Banum bonne et valable et ordonne qu'il y soitdonné suite daus loi formes dé, droit, sauf aux parties à aviser entre elles h tout autre règlement de leurs droits. '
Attendu,, dit l'arrêt, qu'en décidant ainsi, les premiers juges ont méconnu les dispositions de l'article 125 du Code de' Procédure.
Qu'en effet le tribunal ayant prononoé par défaut, ce défaut pouvait être rabattu dès l'in- stant que le'défaillant momentanément em pêché se présentait avant la clôture de l'au- dience ot réclamait le droit de discuter la demande iormulée par loi ;
Attendu-d'ailleurs et on tuus cas que lo Tribunal a donné à l'art. 662 du Code de Pro eédure une interprétation qui parait erronée.
Que l'on peut admettre, par une interpréta tion rationnellq de oet article qu'une déclara- tion de surenchère est nulle de plein droit, sans débat possible et sans nécessité d'une dérision proclamant cette nullité, lorsque cette déclaration u'arété suivie d'aucune dénoncia- tion quelconque .et est restée, ainsi ignorée du premier adjudicataire, du saisissant et des dé- biteurs inscrits ; mais qu'il n'en est. plus de . même lorsque cette dénonciation a été signifiée, et qu'il Vagit do statuer sur sa validité ou sa suffisance.
Que dans ce dernier cas, un débat no peut être refusé aux parties et que oe n'est qu'à la suite de ce débat qu'une décision peut valable- ment intervenir sur le mérité de la dénoncia- tion et par suite sur la validité de la sur- enchère.

Les prooédét qu'employait oe fonctionnaire ponr s'assurer des profits illicites, dénonce clairement le manque de contrôle qui règne dans co service. Mohamed El Aghouri présentait au ministère des documents dont lé montant excédait celui qui est requis aux entrepreneurs ot s'attribuait la différence. Il est probable qub la fraude aprait continué si l'un des collègues du dit fonctionnaire ne s'était avisé de le dénoncer.

S. A. le prince Haidar a donné hier dans la salle du Khédivial une conférence sur la poésie. Il en a retracé à grands traita l'histoire à travers les âges, et on a dépeint avec an charme exquis le rôle divin qui est de mora- liser l'homme. Bien que les favoris des muses aient été de tous temps eu butte aux misères do la vie, jamais cependant un positivismo aussi absolu qu'à 1 heure actuelle n'avait dominé lo monde et rendu plus ardue la tâche du poète. Cela n'at pas empéché le dix ueuvième siècle d'en produire une pléiade de toit premier ordre.
Le prince, qui est un poète do talent et qui le laisse bieu voir par la chaleur et l'élévation do sud langage, a ousuite passé rapidement en revue les poètes do l'antiquité et les poètes modernes. L'éloge enthousiaste qu'il a con- sacré au grand génie do la Grèce, Homère, a été salué des applaudissements de toute la salle. Puis d'Homère, il a passé à la pléiade fronça se du dix-neuvième siècle. 11 convient de dire à ce propos qu'il connaît à merveille l'histoire de cette dernière poésie qu'il a su émailler d'anecdotes spirituelles et typiques. Il lajugsdeplus avoc une compétence et une sûreté qui sont une preuve de sun goût. Parmi les poètes de cette époque qu'il admire da- vantage, citons André Chénier, Victor Hugo, Lamartino, A. de Musset. Il professe aussi pour Leoonts'de Liste une admiration sans bornes et en oela il a grandement raison : aucun antre, eu effet, ne l'égale pour la force, la concision et le-souffle épique de ses œuvres.
Noua ne voulons pas terminer ce trop court aperça sans adresser au prince notre tribut d'admiration pour la façon vraiment magis- trale, on pourrait dire inspirée, avec laquelle il déclame les fragments poétiques.

Certes, 00 n'est pas la première libéralité grandiose et presque princière, dont le*.Ale- xandrins ont la devoir de remercier lo/faznille Salvago ; mais parmi les œuvres nouvelles à créer nulle ne 'pouvait être plus opportune, plus utile, plus patriotique que cette fonda- tion d'une éoole professionnelle. /-r-\

The first day's racing of the A. S. C. Second Summer Meeting took piece in fine weather yesterday. The enclosure was fairly crowded and a good deal of animation prevailed. The racing presented no particular , feature of interest, though the events were in every case wll contested. The most popular win was Gogo's in the Alexandria Derby. In this race El Tahawi was a strong favorite among backers, by whom he was largely , patronised, but in the event he only managed to secure second place. To those who knew Mohsen Pasha's horse, however, his victory was never for a moment in doubt. The race for the Maiden Pony, Plate provided a close finish. The changes were all in favour of Suleik, but India looked all over a winner and would have probably come first past the post had not Mr. Barker held back too long. The May Handicap provided an easy win for Roi de l'Air. In the Mustapha Stakes, Mabrouk, after winning, broke down lame. The held was in excellent condition, but one's view of the horses was considerably obscured by a long wooden boarding which has been- erected in the centre of the ground in connection with the proposed pigeon shooting contests. It is to be hoped that the structure is not a permanent one. In the unavoidable absence of Mr. H. Barker, Mr. A. P. Friend efficiently discharged the duties of judge, while Mr. Bassett acted as starter. The band of the R. Berkshire Regiment was present and enhanced the pleasure of the meeting by a choice selection of music. The following are the results of the various events :—
MUSTAPHA STAKES of P.T. 5,000, viz : P.T. 4,000 to winner, P.T. 700 to 2nd horse, and P.T. 200 to 3rd horse. For Arabs and C. B's. Weight for age and class with penalties. Distance round the course.

Capt. G. Gillson's c.l.c.b.h. Brennus, 12.0. Owner. 3
Omar Bey Sultan and Ahmed Bey Bakri's bl.e.c.m. Florence, 11.4. Hassan. 0
Brennus declared 1 1/2 lb. overweight and Mouftakhar 2 lbs.
Mabrouk got the worst of a bad start but soon took up the lead and made all the runing until the finish, when he was nearly caught by Mouftakhar. He broke down just after passing the post, a length ahead of the latter. Ten lengths divided second and third. Time, 2.32.
Potalisator paid P.T. 24 on winner and P.T. 36 and 28 for places.
MEX PLATE of P.T. 5,000, viz : P.T. 4,000 to winner, P.T. 700 to 2nd horse and P.T. 300 to third horse. For Arabs that have not won a race, value P.T. 5,000 or more, since 1st January, 1904. Weight for age with penalties. Distance 3/4 mile.

Radium made the running, followed at close quarters by Menelik. On turning into the straight Tamerlan, Menelik II., and Rachid were abreast. A splendid race up the straight ended in a victory for Rachid by half a length from Tamerlan, the same distance dividing the latter from Radium. Mizzaud finished a good fourth, Menelik II. fifth, and Kendal sixth. Time, 1.22.
Totalisator paid P.T. 31 on winner, and P.T. 20, 28, and 152 for places.
MAIDEN PONY PLATE of P.T. 5,000, viz : P.T. 4,000 to winner, P.T. 700 to 2nd horse and P.T. 300 to 3rd horse. For maiden Arab ponies. Weight for age and inches. Distance 1 mile.

Saleh Bey Yaghen's g.a.p. Mayesha, 9.6. Stillwell. 0
Suleik jumped off at the start, with St. Frusquin and Fantasia at his heels, and never once being overtaken, won a closely contested race by a neck and a half, Viking losing second place from India by a bare beck. There was a good race down the straight, the whole field riding; and the chances are that if Barker had not stayed his mount too long the race would have been his. Viking, with Matthews up, ran a good race too, and made a plucky effort to get to the front, but it was of no avail. Time, 1.53.
Totalisator paid P.T. 36 on winner and P.T. 22, 35 and 73 for places.
ALEXANDRIA DERBY of L.E. 500; 2nd horse to receive L.E. 100 and 3rd horse L.E. 50 out of the Stakes. For Maiden (at nomination) Arabs. Weight for age with penalties. Distance round the course.

After some delay at the past the large field were got off to a good start. They all kept in a cluster until past the mile post, when Gogo was seen to have the advantage, with Klondyke in close attendance. Coming out of the cutting Gogo still maintained the lead, with Boule de Neige and El Tahawi pressing. They were not able however to overtake him, and Gogo won by 1 1/2 lengths from El Tahawi, Boule de Neige being a length behind, third. a Valentino was a good fourth, and the rest of the field were well up. Time, 2.31.

The flag fell to a good start Shewiman and Venicius made the running, followed by Moofid, and the remainder of the field well up. This order was maintained until entering the straight for home, when Roi de l'Air came through his horses and won a fine race by a couple of lengths, 1/2 length dividing second and third. There was a short head between third and fourth.

Shahrour, India, and Peacock were all together behind the third. Time, 2.36 1/2.

At the Holborn Restaurant last week the Pan Islam Society held its meeting in honor of the anniversary of the birth of Mohamed.
The function took place in a large upper room, where jovial frescoes stared from the walls at the constrained gathering of Mussulmans, who reflected in London the worldwide celebration of a momentous event. There were, perhaps, a hundred and fifty people assembled, and these presented as strange a medley of types as any to be found west of the Levant. A splendid old Turk, his hair grizzled aider his fez, sat among a group of airy babas from the Inns of Court, while a young English girl and her mother came in the company of a Persian youth with a delicately chiselled, sensitive lace, the colour of old gold. At the back of the room there, stood a knot of swarthy, bearded men, Arabs, Moors, and Egyptians, on whom the conventional frock-coats sat oddly. Many wore green ties—the mark of the man who has accomplished the Mecca pilgrimage.
The business of the meeting was to hear addresses on the Prophet, biographical and expository. One speaker after another rose and accomplished his part in careful, stilted English, while the mixed audience of brown and white people listened amiably. It might have been a conference during the May Meetings—the tone and atmosphere were identical. There was no hint of the war- like tradition of Islam. The speakers even fell at times to a tone almost apologetic, though Mr. Suhrawardy, the secretary of the society, dwelt finely on the share of the desert in the shaping of Eastern ideas and ideals. Sheikh Abdul Uder, on the other hand, stated that Mohamedans held the Jews guilty of a great error when they failed to welcome Christ and acknowledge his divine mission. "But the Christians, who received him," he went on, "made the same mistake in rejecting Mohamed."
With these addresses, the meeting wore out its sober length—staid and orderly. Yet the sheikh made an apt reference to its strangeness when he recalled the celebrations he had known in India.
"There we all squatted, respectably on the floor," he said, "and good men read recitations and long poems in praise of the Prophet, which the people repeated with their lips. And here, the men and women sit together with carpets under their feet."
We cordially welcome Mr. Arthur Wollaston's admirable book on Islam. It is, in our opinion, far and away the best popular presentment of the "Prophet" and his teachings that has yet appeared in English. The author treats his subject as a scholar and a gentleman should ; and it is, perhaps, the first time in England that a competent writer has dealt in this spirit with the stock religion, if we may so term it, of the great Semitic race. Not one of the creeds professed by our Eastern fellowmen has been so persistently misrepresented as that of Mohamed. Mr. Wollaston's book will help to remove some of the current prejudices and prepossessions in regard to the followers of Mohamed. Not that he has any leanings towards Islam, or, indeed, any enthusiasm for its tenets. But he is eminently fair, and always writes of that to which he is opposed with courtesy and forbearance. His work is not an original study to any great extent, although few would have been better qualified to have given us such a new view of Islam as the translator of the Anwa'r-i-Suhaili and the compiler of our best English-Persian dictionary. Mr. Wollaston has preferred to rely largely on Sir William Muir, Gibbon, and Sir Richard Burton. But his sympathetic insight leads him so to dispose his material as to put the subject in a clearer, better, and more appreciative light than hitherto. The reader will find in the book a full and exhaustive account of everything relating to Islam—its founder, its tenets and traditions, its sects, and its wars. Nothing is omitted, from legends and fables to such reformers as Muqanna, the veiled prophet of Khorassan, and Bab, the "Gale," as he called himself, of God, who founded the Babis as recently as 1820. The binding nature of the Koran is so often insisted upon by English writers on Islam that we venture to quote the following, which, it should not be forgotten, is the deliberate utterance of a British Indian administrator who has been in contact with Moslems for over fifty years:
Notwithstanding that the Quran is regarded as the fundamental part of their civil law, yet the secular tribunals do not consider themselves bound to observe the same in all cases, but frequently give judgment against those decisions which are not consonant to equity and reason.
M. Wollaston's book is full of strange, quaint, and interesting facts, which we should like to quote, but space forbids. We can only strongly recommend the work to all who desire to obtain a sympathetic understanding of the millions of the East nearest to us in their religions conceptions, and who would know Islam and its followers as they really are.

What an object of disappointed effort the North Pole is! Expedition after expedition starts out fall of hope to explore the regions round it, only in due time to give up the quest and to struggle back, aided or unaided, to sunnier seas. Last week there sailed quietly from the Thames for the Far North the "Terra Nova," which goes in rear oh of Mr. Fiala and some thirty-five companions, who form what is known as the Ziegler Expedition. Two years ago this expedition left the United States, and it has not been heard of since. The American millionnaire whose name it bears has bought and fitted out the "Terra Nova" as a rescue ship, and she set sail with as little fuss as if bound for the Mediterranean. The Ziegler Expedition was well found, and although there is naturally some anxiety as to its safety, it is hoped that there may be news of those who compose it before many months are over. The "Terra Nova," at all events, is in most competent hands, and the best wishes of all will follow her on her perilous mission.
Once more the hopes of doctors and patients alike have been roused by a case of the apparent core of cancer. Dr. Harper, the President of the Chicago University, was operated on for a cancerous growth. It was declared to be irremovable, and he was doomed to death by the surgeons. But since then be has been treated with a combination of radium and the X-rays, and the results are said to be marvellous. He himself considers that he is cured. Of course, there is as yet no guarantee that the cure is permanent. Even if it proves to be so, many more trials and investigations will be necessary before any systematic method of cure applicable to all cancer cases can be formulated with any confidence. But the case is a sufficiently remarkable one to provide at any rate a substructure of hope that the first real blow has been struck at the disease.

The price of radium has increased so much recently, owing to the difficulty of obtaining farther supplies, that research work is almost at a standstill. Sir William Ramsay told a press representative that as much as £20 a milligramme, or at the rate of £600,000 an ounce, was being demanded, and the quantity available, even at that price, is very small indeed.
"What could be got for £2 some time ago, when radium was less known than it is," said one of the principals of Messrs. Armbrecht, Nelson, and Co., at the Duke-street pharmacy, where most, of the radium that has come to England has been stored, "is now being sold for £100, and the price is steadily growing up. Strong radium is being manufactured by only one man that I know of a German named Giesel, and the quantity available is exceedingly small. I don't believe that there has been more than half an ounce of radium manufactured since Mme. Curie discovered the new element. Two mines in Cornwall were believed to have radio-active pitchblende, and a British company was formed to exploit it, but the venture was abandoned. Other efforts are being made in America to increase the supply. So far, however, they have been unsuccessful."
Another attempt, we understand, is to be made to get radium from the Cornish mines. This time a German is to toy the experiment. That there is pitchblende in some of the mites in Cornwall is certain, but the doubtful point is whether it is radio-active. The German who has decided to test the question believes that radioactive pitchblende, in payable quantity can be extracted. He has been interviewing one or two leading British scientists, including Sir William Ramsay, on the subject.
At present the prospect with regard to the supply of radium is a poor one, and unless new sources are found, or scientists are able to realise the possibility suggested by Sir William Ramsay of reconstructing the elements into which radium decomposes, a valuable adjunct to medical science will in course of time be lost. While it has not yet been established that it cures cancer, experiments have shown that it kills bacteria when brought into direct contact, and its value in other diseases is being more and more recognised.
It is calculated that strong radium gives out at the rate of a thousandth part of a milligramme in a thousand years, so that the half-ounce at present in evidence will take some time to disappear altogether.
The recent heavy fall in North Niles was by no means encouraging, but in the Egyptian department it is believed that the worst is over, and accordingly speculators are quietly picking up parcels of various shares and putting them away against a recrudescence of activity. The position with regard to North Niles is not quite easy to gauges but the glorious uncertainty of gold mining is a factor to be taken into account, and it is not impossible that further exploration may reveal an increase in gold values. The shares remain steady at about 10s., and the "shop" is understood to have acquired the bulk of them again at this and somewhat higher prices. Nile Valley Block "B" have attracted attention on the developments reported from tho Dongola Concession, a reef having been struck assaying in the east shaft, 12dwts. over 2ft. 3 in., and in the east shaft 1oz. over 1ft. Nubias are firm, with no quotable alteration in price. A settlement in Egyptian Options has been applied for. A circumstance which suggests that we may hear more of Egyptians before long is that there are now inquiries for shares in which the transactions have for months been only on a limited scale. Eridia Exploring, Fatira Exploring, Central Egyptian Explorations, and many others of the quiet shares appear to be coming to the front again. A new Dongola Company is due the week after next.
