The neck is often rai se d a t a considerable angle with the arch of the back. It walks about tolerably fast on a level surface, and not unfre quently raises itself on the tripod of its hind limbs and tail, swerving the body about in every possible direction. In common garden ground it burrows with extreme facility; and it also manifests a very strong propensity for clambering. Turned loose into a room in India, a pangolin is never long in finding out the ji/mi/s (a sort of c)arse Venetian blind), and soon makes its way to the top of them ; indeed, if a young animal, small enough, it will work itself in and out of the to the destruc tion of them sometimes ; and we have seen one sup port its whole weight by the extremity of the tail alone, and after hanging there for a while, inten tionally fall to the ground. The strength of this animal is prodigious ; and its capability of enduring abstinence most extraordinary. The latter is one of the various reptilian tendencies of the Edentata. In the wild state it inhabits rocky jungle, and works itself into the crevices of rocks during the day. It has no means of defence beyond rolling itself into a ball; and in this compact attitude it dies, as we have more than once had occasion to observe. By Anglo-Indians the pangolin is commonly miscalled " armadillo." The name " pangolin" is Malayan —pangoling or tangeling ; but there are three well marked Asiatic species, and more in Africa. In the fossil state this edente genus is also known as Eu ropean. In all the jungle districts of India south of the Himalaya, and in Ceylon, the only species is Monis pentadactyla of Linnaeus (M. brachyura, Erxeleben 11. inauvita, Hodgson) ; at least we presume this to be the species noticed in Dr. J. L. Stewart's " Me moranda on the Peshawar Valley," as the " kishaur," which is " by no means uncommon in various locali ties, attaining a length of four feet and upwards ; its scales are much valued as a medicine by some classes of Hindus." In the south-east Himalaya the Chinese species occurs (the M. aurita of Hodgson, subsequently 31. Dalnianni of Sundevall), which has the body-scales much smaller and more numerous, and a distinct ear-conch, which the other has not. Eastward of the Bay of Bengal, from at least the province of Arakan southward, the species is that of the Malayan peninsula and archipelago, 31 - . javanica, which is considerably smaller than the others, and has some bristles growing conspicuously between the scales ; very generally, also, the ter minal third or more of the tail is whitish, abruptly separated from the brown colouring of the body and base of the tail ; at least in Burmese examples, of which we have seen several, both alive and dead. We procured one thus coloured at Mergui, near the neck of the Malayan peninsula. A French author, Dr. Yvan, remarks that " the Chinese bring up this creature purposely for the table ; and the Portuguese of Macao, amongst whom it is known by the name of the Biclio verge guoso, are extremely fond of its flesh, which is very white and tender. But it is quite a mystery to me," he adds, " how the animal is ever domesticated. 1 once preserved one, intending to take it back with me to France ; and having occasion to be absen from Macao a friend offered to take care of it for me. On account of its nocturnal habits, the Chi nese domestics placed it in a little dark habitation, where it appeared to be very comfortable. On the first night of its imprisonment, a strange noise was heard in the house, but next day nothing unusual could be perceived. For several succeeding nights the same strange sound was heard—a sort of me tallic noise, mingling with loud reports, as if some heavy weight was falling. At last, but when too late, the mystery was discovered. It was the pan golin, which had pulled up some of the paving of its cave, raised the stone step, and thus made its escape, no one knew where. When caught, this animal makes but faint efforts to get away, but, as its hard, sharp scales act upon the fingers like the blade of a knife, the captor is generally glad to let his prey escape." It rolls itself up into a round ball, and the scales are sharp as described ; but the alleged domestication of it is nonsense, and it does not readily take to f ee di ng w h en i n confinement, but it can well support abstinence for a fortnight or more. We have got it to eat a mixture of chopped meat and hard-boiled egg, with boiled rice.—Land and TVater. MANUFACTURERS OF THE VICTORIA CROSS.

CIONSOLTDATED BANK (Litnited).--At a J General Meeting of the Proprietors, held at the Lon don Tavern, Bi s hopsgate-street, in the City of London, on Thursday, 23d January, 1868, JOHN PENDER, Esq., in the Chair, the following Report was presented : In laying before the shareholders their usual half-yearly statement of accounts, the directors wish to draw attention to the gQneral stagnation of trade and to the low rate of discount which have prevailed throughout the last six months. The bank has, during that period, made steady pro gress, and the number of its customers exhibits a continu ous increass. The accounts show that, after payment of all current expenses, interest to customers, rebate of interest on bills iu hand, income tax, and directors' remuneration, there remains a net profit for the six months of £27,263 9 1 To which has to he added the balance from last half-year of B,lBB 4 7 Making a total of This sum it is proposed to appropriate as follows : To the payment of a divi dend, for the half-year, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax To reserved surplus fund (which, with interest already added, will then amount to £100,000) 3,100 0 0 To special reserve fund (which will then be X 20,000) Carrying forward to next account the balance of _ £35,451 13 8 It will be seen that in pursnance of the precautionary policy set forth in their last half-yearly statement, the di rectors have added a further sum of £lO,OOO to the special reserve fund. The directors have to lament the death of one of their most valued colleagues, Mr. James Aspinall Turner, the late deputy-chairman of the bank. His services to this institution, from his first connection with it to the period of his death, merit their ample and.grateful recognition. The post thus rendered vacant has been offered to, and accepted by, Mr. Murray Gladstone. The directors retiring by rotation are Messrs. Matthew Curtis, Thomas Fairbairn, Edward Ryley Langworthy, Ivie Mackie, and John Pender. These gentlemen being eligible, will be proposed for re-election. The meeting will also be invited to elect two auditors. Messrs. David Chadwick and William Cooper offer them selves for re-election. The dividend warrants will be payable on and after the Ist February next. J. P. HEYWOOD, Chairman. BALANCE SHEET, DEC. 31, 1867. Dn. LIABILITIES.

ARRIVALS AT THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. There have been very few of late. A remark. able new monkey from China, closely akin to the luaus rhesus of Bengal, but tail-less--if naturally so, which we are not quite satisfied about, especially as the Chinamen have a custom of mutilating the tails of monkeys ; but the Barbary magot (I. syl vanus) is again very nearly allied, and in this species the caudal appendage is reduced to a mere rudiment, while other kindred species are interme diate in this respect. A young tiger :has been pre sented, and another common Indian antelope (Cer vicapra bezoartica). The female of the fine red kangaroo (11facropus rictus) has produced one off spring. In the bird class we have only to announce the arrival of a pair of the South American hawk parrot (Deroptylus occipitrinus) ; and of reptiles only a couple of royal pythons (Python regius). This African serpent is known to the dealers as the 6 ' ball-snake," from its remarkable habit of twisting itself into a compact ball whe n h an dl ed, to an extent that we have witnessed in no other snake. The larger species of deer show to much advan tage in their new abode, and we particularly call attention to the Kashmir stag just now , w ith hi s fine orange-coloured ruff, though this must be seen dry to be appreciated, and we have not had over much of dry weather lately. The Burmese t'hamine stag (Panolia eldi), which is in the smaller deer house, near the superintendent's office, has grown his horns much better than there was reason to ex pect some time ago, and next year he will probably bear a fine pair. Hinds would be particularly ac ceptable of both these species. We are pleased to observe that the ant-eaters ( 11 1yrinecophoga jubata) continue to thrive, although the first-received of the two has had, from the time of its arrival, an unfor tunate protrusion which may affect its well-doing on the return of summer. From recollection of the pangolins (Maids), or " scaly ant-caters," we have an impression that the latter double up the huge claws of their fore-feet more completely or closely than is seen in the great ant-eater, but they have not the same power of striking with the anterior limb. We should be glad to see living specimens of the pangolins in the collection, for the animal it not at all understood from the usual wretched repre sentations of it, which give it the appearance of a lizard rather than of a mammal. In India we have kept several pangolins from time to time. When walking this animal stands high on its pillar-like legs, with the back much arched, and it rests on the knuckles of its fore limbs, or rather on the mid-joint of the larger digits, A TRIP UP THE NILE. A writer in Land and Water says, after a few days' shooting at Fonah, our friend left us for Afteh where he was to spend the night, and to re turn next day to Alexandria by rail. We were anxious, of course, to be off at once as the wind was favourable, but were told by the reis that he cculd not leave on account of an approaching squall which he expected. After some difficulty, however, we insisted on his being off, and had a very jolly evening's sail, during which we must have made 14 or 15 miles. When we turned in for the night we were going well, but alas ! in the morning on getting up we found ourselves moored on the lee shore, in a place which seemed, as long as the wind lasted, a very awkward one to get away from. Naturally we pitched into the reis, and towards the middle of the day once more persuaded him to start, but really a more chicken-hearted be g gar than friend Reis Hassan I ne v e r came across ; .he seemed posi tively afraid of a capful of wind. That night we were brought up by head winds, which seemed destined to last for some time. A considerable storm got up, accompanied by lightning and heavy rain, and then we began to find out that a sail from Alexandria to Cairo is not the pleasantest thing in the world, and that, notwithstanding Mr. W.'s assurances and the terms of our contract with him, the dahabeeh was scarcely " in good condition and well fitted up for a voyage to Upper Egypt," for on that night and the three succeeding days (during which we only made a very few miles, owing to the wind still remaining contrary) we discovered that the rain came into our cabins in various places, that two cabin windows were cracked, that the small sail aft was in shreds, that there was only one towing rope and that was not impossible to break, that the awn ings were rotten or a very good imitation of it, that one of the baths would not hold water, and that the filterer was insufficient for our purpose, &c. All which discoveries, when combined with the annoy ance of strong head winds and an obstinate, dis obliging reis, are tolerably provoking. .Ilowever, few things are so bad that they might not be worse, and it is lucky for us that we sailed for Alexandria, and so found out what things required to be recti fied before reaching Cairo, where we refit ; had we left Cairo in this condition we should have had to ' grin and bear it until our return. We were, no doubt, in rather too great a hurry to leave Alexan dria, and perhaps took Mr. W.'s word about too many things. We should know better on another occasion—verbunt sap. On Sunday, December 15, while taking a stroll, we saw for the first time that wonderful friend of the travelling showman, " the pelican of the wilder ness," besides several cran es, herons, &c. ; but, of course, on this day their lives were safe. in the afternoon a whole village turned out in a great state of excitement, and some of the inhabitan!s thereof ran down to our boat and asked if it belonged to the governor. On inquiry we found that some wandering Greek thief had attempted to steal some horses from the village, and, after wards meeting a woman, had wrenched her ear rings out and then struck her. We suggested a good ducking as being likely to do the Grecian good, and watched for a long time an animated squabble, during which his gun was taken from him and fired off in the air. I daresay it all ended in smoke, although the Arabs are, I am told, when excited very determined ; one very admirable point in their character being that they are incapable of bearing malice. That this is the case is an acknow- PIIICE.. 4d. ST A M I'ED sd. ledged fact. Achmet All told us that lots of these Greek and Maltese pilferers are constantly going about among the villages in Lower Egypt. On Monday, the first day that we actually made no progress, we had a forenoon's walk with our gulls over a most unpromising country for sport. We saw, however, in the middle of a field of young ,wheat a couple of otters, at one of which I had a long shot. We marked them to ground in an old water-wheel, and then, how I longed for a couple of good terriers and a pack of hounds ! Had we had them we might have had a famous day's sport, as we were some way from the bill, and there was au old watercourse quite handy which would have been a first-rate place for a hunt. I have no doubt there are lots of otters about, as I know there are foxes, having on two occasions while snipe shoot ing halloed away a right good one, and all about the marshes I saw dear old reynard's marks very plainly. He has a jolly time of it here, I have no doubt, and lives on the fat of the land. I thought it a curious thing to see two otters in such open ground in the middle of the day, especially as from their size (I should guess them at not less than 201 b. each) they seemed both of male persuasion. The following evening we reached a town called K. Zaiad, where is the railway bridge across the Nile. The Arabs speak of this bridge as " the locks," from part of it being opened every day on one or two occasions to allow the river traffic to pass through. We were informed (with what truth I cannot say) that no boats had been allowed to go through for four days previously. However, the following morning part of the bridge was wheeled round on a pivot, and there ensued such a scene of bustle and confusion among the accumulated ship ping as to be quite beyond description. The Arabs seem to be able to undertake no work, however slight it may be, without a sort of monotonous drone, in which they invoke the assistance of vari ous personages who have at one time or another existed. Noah and his family seem among sailors to be the most valued assistants, because, as Achmet in his broken English informed us, "he the maker of the first dahabeeh." This mono tonous chant, issuing from some five hundred throats at the same time, but from throats quite in dependent of each other, interspersed with extraor dinary grunts, expressive either of satisfaction or the reverse, and the most contradictory directions given by the reis on the different boats, caused a perfect Babel, but, at the same time, the scene was a most interesting one. The bridge was only kept opus for about an hour, during which time, I should suppose, about 60 boats passed through, uumberi being disappointed, and having to fall back to wait the next opportunity. We were toll that it might be some days till this occurred, as, forsooth, the Viceroy was, expected to return shortly from Alexandria to Cairo. This bridge is a very fine one, and quite worth seeing, the Nile at this point being about 400 or 500 yards broad. About two miles from this town there is, I was told, some ex cellent snipe shooting in rice ground, but A and I did not stop to try it, the wind having at length become favourable. That afternoon, in - taking a short passage of the river, we came to very shoal water, and, had it no!: been for the assistance ren dered us by the crew of the Russian Consul's dahabeeh, who returned voluntarily to our assist ance, we should probably have stuck fast there for hours, and in the end would have had to sail back some miles, and so regain the main channel of the river. When one of those boats goes aground some of the sailors at once strip to a state of nudity, and by dint of main force she is once more got afloat. On occasions such as these, -Noah and his family are freely called upon to as sist. In the evenings, while sailing, our crew in dulge in a most monotonous chant, iu which s)metimes they all take part, but which more frequently is sung, or rather said, by one of the party, the rest joining in the chorus. They accom pany themselves on a broken-down tambourine. For some time we were puzzled by a general cry of '• Oh !" at the conclusion of each verse, but we soon found out that this was a sign of satisfaction, or as Achmet has it, when " they find the song sweet and pretty." Their ideas of sweet music must indeed be peculiar ! But they are not bad fellows these sailors, and only want a good reis (which ours certainly is not) to do their work well. They are fond of a word or look of recognition occasionally, and one of them is able to say " Good morning," which expression is by no means by him confined to the first part of the day. On Friday, December 20 (disgusted by head winds and slow progress, we had by this time en gaged a steamer to tow us), we passed Teranch, fifty miles from Cairo, and it was about this part of the river, which here abounds in mud banks, that we began to realise what quantities of geese and ducks there are in Egypt. We had no time to attempt to get near them, and even had we been able to try to do so I very much doubt if we should have succeeded in getting even a single shot. But I should think that with a punt and swivel duck gun excellent sport might be obtained all the way from Nigreleh to Werdan, wherever there are mud banks. Near the latter place a sheikh, Halim Pasha, has a palace, situated on the edge of the desert, from which he gets gazelle shooting, and, by crossing the river to an island, wild boar shooting ; but the latter, I am informed, have very much decreased , in numbers of late, probably from the common cause in such cases, increased cultivation. Werdan is on the left or west bank of the river, 32i miles from Cairo. The following afternoon, still in tow of a steamer, we reached Cairo, or more properly speaking 803- lak, the port of Cairo.

DEATH FROM VIOLENCE IN DUBLIN.—An inquest was held yesterday by Dr. White, city coroner, at Jervis-street Hospital, Dublin, on the body of Cathe rine Reilly, aged thirty 7 five, who died on the previous day, it was alleged, from the effects of a beating s h e received from her husband, Peter Reilly. The de ceased and her husband had been to the pantomim e a the Theatre Royal, and after the prisoner had had s ome drink, returned home. The son d e p ose d t h at the prisoner left home again for a short time. When he came back the deceased hid herself un d er the bed,hen when the prisoner took off his overcoat and pull e d h er out by ?he hair of the head.e There was a light i n the room at the time. H the She then ribs and beat her. then kicked her in became insen sible, and the priso ner told his younger son to throw water on her for the purpose of rousing her. She was in a fit. Witness's brother threw some water on her. Witness never Paw his mother in a fit before. When she t recovered from the fit she 4,. called for he r mother. that time she had a cut over her eye. After the fit, the prisoner again kicked her in the ba c k an d i n the sides. The room was covered with blood. Th ere was also blood on her petti coats. She was discovered just breathing by the police and remove d t o th e hospital, where she died in less than an hour. After the witnesses had been examined, the jury returned the following verdict : " That the said Catherine Reilly died on the 22d January from certain fractures and other injuries in ' flicted on her by her husband, Peter Reilly, at her residence in Gilford-place." The prisoner was then committed to stand his trial at the next commission on the charge of causing the death of his wife by violence. . , ~:~ :,•, ~_~ ~`. - TECHNICAL - The Conference on Technical Education tgembal by S the Society of Arts resumed its sitting at twelve o'clock yesterday, under the presidency of Mr. IlAwEs. It was arranged that the speakers should be limited to ten minutes each. The discussion was continued on the following resolution which was proposed yesterday by Dr. Lyon Playfair, and seconded by Earl Russell :—" 1. That to establish and maintain a system of technical education adequate to the requirements of arts, manufactures, and commerce in the United Kingdom, the three following educational reforms should be effected :-1. In the universities, grammar schools, and other educational institutions for the upper and middle classes of society, instruction in science and art should be placed on the same favourable footing as other studies; 2. Efficient means of primary and secondary instruction should be brought within the reach of the working classes everywhere, and encouragement should be given to the study of the elements of science and art in the upper classes of all primary schools which receive Government aid ; and 3. Special institutions for techni cal instruction, adapted to the wants of the various classes of society, and to the industries of the country, should be established and maintained in the Ureited Kingdom." The first speaker was Mr. CHESTER, who pointed out that while the upper and middle classes were ignorant of science it was in vain to hope that the classes immediately below them would make any progress in its study, and argued that facilities for secondary education were utterly useless unless the primary education of the masses was dealt with in a more efficient manner. As an illustration of this latter point, the speaker stated that Mr. Robert Hunt had informed him that the Miniig Institution of Cornwall had failed in its objects because it was found that those to whom it was intended its advantages should apply were not sufficiently advanced to enter with good results upon the course of instruction provided. Mr. ACLAND contended that what was chiefly needed was good secondary education for aspiring artisans and middle-class shopkeepers, this description of education to be given up to the age of 14 years. A sound fundamental education to the artisan was a matter of the highest importance, the value of which had been proved in Mr. Samuelson's pamphlet, where it was stated that on the Continent the superior position of the foremen in large factories was due to the fact that they had in early youth received an education which included the art of drawing and design. The speaker then pro. ceeded to touch upon the sad deficiency that existed in England in regard to the provisions for efficient instruc tion in science in the schools for the children of the upper class of artisans and the middle-class shop keepers. In proprietary schools, no doubt, excellent arrangements for the study of the natural sciences existed, but nothing could be said beyond this. It was therefore absolutely essential that the Legislature should establish good public schools under proper _direction and govern. meat for the class to which he had referred. The Hon. A. HERBERT deemed it to be of great importance that there should be an unanimous view on the subject of technical education expressed to the Government. At present the opinion of the public, he believed, was far in advance of the opinion of the Goverenment, rendering it very essential that no plea might be given to the latter to refuse to fail in with the propositions of the former on the ground of the diversity of opinion that existed. Mr. lirDs CLARKE urged the importance of instruction in drawing in all public schools. Mr. BIZOCKLEHURST expressed the great want of tech.; nical education in a large manufacturing town like Mac• clesfield. Professor HURLEY was of opinion that no good woma no obtained by merely teaching boys the mere scum, and nothing of the science. If the manufactures of the country were to be ultimately improved, it must be by thoroughly impregnating the mind of the youth of the nation with scientific principles. It was, therefore, in his opinion, imperative that scientific should not be subordinated to any other kind of instruction in public schools and univer- sities. Professor Huxley further contended that to look to the country for a remedy for the defective system of education that existed would be a mere waste of time, and cited as an example the case of the School of Mines in Jer• myn-street, which had been established by the energy of one man, and was but poorly supported by those connected with the mining interests of this country. The professor concluded by pointing out that in the matter of giving en couragement to technical education and in promoting really clever boys from amongst the people, Government was far ahead of the public. Professor FLEEMING JENKIN proposed that large en. gineering firms should be asked to encourage the attendance of the most promising of their workmen at the classes established for instruction in engineering science. The Rev. ARTHUR Riec, of Chester, deprecated the attempts that had been made to popularise physical Ecituce. Mr. CLARK, of the North Chester Chamber of Agri culture, combated the view of the last speaker, and ur;ed the importance of the establishment of primary and advance schools of agriculture. This was a subject with which the committee to be appointed by the Conference should be instructed to deal. Mr. LUCRAFT, a member of the Reform League, expressed as a working man the belief that had he received a good technical education it would have greatly facilitated him in his trade. He urged that, while the education in science of the artisans' children was object to be sought, it was also necessary to provide means for the instruction of the working men by the establishment of scientific mu. seums in various parts of the metropolis and in large towns throughout the country. He moved an addition to th resolution before the Conference to that effect. This was seconded by Mr. GODWIN, F.R.S., but even: tually it was agreed by the general voice of the Conference that it would be sufficient to introduce the words " and museums" after the words, in the third division of the resolution, " special institutions." M. HEINRICH MEYER, of Hanover, contrasted the educational systems pursued on the Continent and 13 England, Mr. AYRTON, M.P., advised the Conference to be pre: pared for the antagonism which would be exhibited to the scheme under consideration. In the Houses of Lords and Commons, formed as they were so greatly of members of the universities, that opposition would be very great. The Conference must thoroughly understand what the principle was for which they were contending. They were to ask that in the universities the kind of education they desired to see spreading throughout the country should have as firma footing as education in classics. It must, however, be always remembered that the universities would reflect the character of the schools of the country. He most cordially supported the resolution. This closed the discussion on the first resolution, wnies., was put from the chair and carried. Some little disturbance was caused by a gentleman in the body of the hall attempting to move an amendment, The CiimumlN ruled that he was too late. Mr. CHESTER then proceeded to Move the second resol lution, which was : " That in such measures as may be desirable for the general provision of the means of efficient primary and secondary education it would be right to con• aolidate and improve, rather than overthrow, what has already been done, but that the voluntary principle muires to be supplemented by local rates for education. He deprecated the remission of the voluntary System, but strongly urged that the rating system should be coupled with it. The resolution was seconded by the Right Hon. VilllrrAit COWPER, in the absence of Mr. Goschen, M.k . It was the duty of the Government, the speaker contended, to be influenced by the will of the people, and to heartily sup. plement the voluntary efforts which had been and stir would be put forth. The Right Hon. H. A. BRUCE suggested that owing ofto tthil unan i m ity of feeling that prevailed and the shortness time that still remained, it would be a wi se the resolution without further discussion. plait to pass T T h his e f w ol as lowi car n ri g ed ' resolution was then moved by the Rev. Mr. LASE.:—" That while this Conf erence aclnowledges the clausbeesnoeffittshewhpahetohrayveAcetnslsuiet isfroOfm Legislature ought n ow t o provide that all opi ni o n th e childrene d u tb c h a eat t tw i o et n he a ne l certain ages, employed in r emunerative labour of a certa i n character, should recei ve educati on d ur i ng at least a m ta i i n e i n mtubmatthenumbered of ours in each year, security being The only way, the u s education be conducted in efficient schools." l eaic educationerlas pe was r s u t o a ded, adopt s oo kind remedy th e defectiv e con di t i on of l of compulsory system. Mr. BRADY seconded the resolution. Mr. SANDERS asked how was the principle expressed in the resolutions to be carried out. In his opinion it could only be done by placing all universities, colleges, and schools under the control of the Minister of the State, and th:.t the funds not supplied by local efforts should be sup plemented by grants from the endowments of the univer. sities and by special provision of Government. Mr. CHESTER moved, as an amendment, the introctuc. tion of the words "and not merely those" after the words " children between certain ages" in the resolution. This was seconded by Professor ROGERS. The Right. Hon. H. A. BRUCE objected to the amend. ment, on the ground that it would pledge the Government to the immediate adoption of a compulsory system. Mr. DIXON, M.P. for Birmingham, warmly supported the amendment. Sir JAMES KAY SHUTTLEWORTH suggested that instean of the word " now " in the resolution should be inserted the words " as early as poss This would probably do away with Mr. 13ruce's e. objection to Mr. sibl" Chester s amendment on the resolution. Sir WALTER STIRLING thought the principle of compulsory education was a dangerous one. Englishmen would not be educated at the point of the sword. Mr. Er.LIS, Mr. PATTISON, Mr. CONOLLY, and others naving sp,lcen to the resolution, it was put and carried. Th e last resolution submitted to the Conference was, 'That the council of this society be requested to appoint stan di ng committee, to take such requested steps as may give effect to t resolutions, to sup port all a f d o N ro i c id ing schemes for technical x. i e e ll_ may be brought before it, to send education s as uch such deputations to the Government as may seem expe dient, and to reassemble this Conference when desirable."
