The Cambridge Local Examinations of
girls make rapid progress. Six new local
centres have been added to the former ten,
and the number Of candidates, which was last
year 232, is this year 40l, consisting OF 100
seniors and 24l juniors. 1t has been remarked
that the proportion of seniors TO Juniors is
much greater among girls than among boys,
being two or three in the case Of girls, and
less than three to sixteen in that of boys. In
London the number of candidates has in
creased from 62 to 1876.
Has it yet been settled, asks the London
AhenGum, in what year women were declared
incapable to sit in Parliament, in the face OF
the early summOnses to them to do SO? We
note in the "Rolls of Parliament" " iv. 270, that
in 1925, Roger Hunt, for the Lord Marshal,
says that to a woman "no place in Parlement
might apperteyne." The passage is:-"And

Facts are multiplying in disproof of the
late Prof. Edward Forbes theory that the

and color. More than dfty years ago General
Sabine witnessed the bringing up of a living

fathoms in Bafiins bay, and since then other
evidence, similar in kind, has bsen brought
forward by DR.. Wallich and other investi

shallow waters. II appears, indeed, that, so
far from being lifeless, the deep sea bottom
teens with animal lite and with creatures
of q very remarkable kind, some OF
which connect long past geological periods
with the geological action going onin our own
time. The high importance OF this fact will
be manifest to all who have studied the ques-
tion fom scientific point Of view. And now
fresh confederation comes from abroad. The
soundipgs and dredgiugs under the United
States Coast Survey were resumed last year;
and though, through interruption by yellow
fever, the season was but short one, the
fact was clearly asoertained that, in the sea
between Key West and Havana, "animal life
exists at great depths in as great diversity
and as great an abundance as in shallow
water" And in the exploration in the pre-
sent year the dredge brought up, from depth
OF 517 fathoms, "a very handsome Mopsea, a
crab, an Ophiurian, and some sunelids."
