Some of the problems Of war which
seem new are in reality old. For ex-
ample. the South African Beers have
been most successful in concealing the
positions Of their guns until the Brit
ish battalions were exposed to destruc-
tive fire. They have adopted device
for defensive operations in the field,
which is the chief motive OF all the
great coast and frontier fortifications.
Visitors at Halifax. Dover or Gibraltar
are only allowed to see the parade
grounds and barracks. The secrets of
the fortresses are not disclosed. There
are guns Of long range. which are con-
cealed by terraces of grass or by OBJ
structions of various kinds. In time
of war these hidden guns would sud-
denly be brought to bear upon an
enemy's fleet.

After the unfortunate war in South
Africa is over, a scientific problem of
much interest will be presented to the
engineers of the Transvaal gold mines.
Some OF the shafts recently opened
on the Rand are expected to go down
1000 or 5000 feet in search of gold
bearing veins, but in the future. Mr..
John Yates says, it may be necessary
to descend 10000 feet. That. he thinks
will be about the limit of depth at
which men can work, because the tenn
perature there will be at least 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Other engineers
think the shafts could be sunk several
thousand feet lower through the adop-
tion of devices for cooling the air.

The meridian of Greenwich is gener-
ally accepted as the starting-line from
which to reckon longitude and time all
over the earth. But objections are.
from time to time raised against the
universal adoption of the Greenwich
meridian for such purposes. Recently
Italian savants have emphasized these
objections by pointing out that on the
meridian of Greenwich clouds and bad
weather are frequent. interfering with
astronomical observations. They sug-
Gest that the civilized world should
agree to adopt the meridian of Jerusa-
lem as a common reference line, be-
cause there the skies are clearer, and
the possibility Of making Palestine
neutral territory would eliminate pol
itical objections.

A feature of parliamentary practice
peculiar to this country. of which little
IL heard in comparison with its I'm
portancc. is the conference committee.
a bill before congress seldom passes
the house and the senate In the same
form; freqently the differences are i'm
portant, and unless one house will ac-
cept as whole the doings OF the other,
which rarely happens, the measure
must go to conference" as the phrase
is. Three members are appointed from
each house. two OF the majority party
and one OF the minority. usually the
members who have had most to do
with the passage of the bill. the details
Of which are still In dispute. When a
conference committee begins It's ses-
slons to adjust differences upon a mar
~ measure. only the representatives
OF the majority party. which would
now mean the four Republicans. ordi.
narlly attend; Ms soon as they reach
an agreement. the two Democrats are
called In for formal assent, since they
have no real power OF resistance. The
representatives OF each house are ex-
pected to strive for the bill as Il passed
the body OF which they are members.
even though they personally may have
favored the form In which II passed
the other house.
