the sun must be at an angle of 40 de-
grees with the water. both sky and sea
must be calm. and the tidal current suf-
ficiently strong to cause the water in
the center to rise higher than on the
edges OF the strait. When these condi-
tions are fully met. the observer on the

exquisite beauty.

Settles Two Important Points.
Chamberlain'S speech in proposing
the health of the high commissioner
was of great Importance. Not only did
he say that Lord Miner would resume
the post which he had temporarily
vacated. but he intimated that Mil
ner's future policy would be directed
toward bringing about cooperation
between the British and Dutch people
in South Africa. Indeed. he was care
ful to say the welfare and prosperity
of South Africa would depend after
the war was over on the cordial CO.
operation OF the two rival races.

This was evidently Lord Miners
opinion also. In the circumstances ii
would not have been prudent for the
high commissioner OF refer in detail
to the situation I'm South Africa today.

that marked the speech of the colonial
secretary. However. he said sufficient
TO show that he is well aware of the
big task that awaits him on his return.
