Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN.
LONDON, Aug. 4.-Several items OF popu-
| lar interest nave been cleaned from the
| discussions in the various sections OF the
! British Association for the Advancement OF
Science at its meeting in York.
In the meteorological section q collection
Of bronze weapons and implements from
| Persia was discussed. Prof. Ridgeway
| placed them as belonging to the first or
second century. Prof. Flinders Petrie
| brought out a quaint point, declaring that
| two Of the objects were polo clubs, which
he said was quite possible, as both polo and
golf we're played in the Byzantine empire.
In the same section F. w. Knocker read
a paper on the aborigines Of Sun gel and
Wong, wild tribes ~inhabiting the hills
north and northwest Of Negri Sembilan.
He said that their profile was negroid, not
prognathous. They had no rites for the
celebration Of births, marriage or deaths.
They had no religion, no belief In existence
after death and did not practise any forp
| of witchoraft or magic. Their only weapon
was the blowpipe. They had learned
some agricultural pursuits from the Malays.
They could only count as far as three
notwithstanding all this they we're intelli-
gent and bright and lived moral. blameless
lives.
In the geographical section Prof. Clement
read a paper on coast erosion In England.
He showed that the British Islands 1000
years g were sixty feet higher out OF tho
water than they are now. Then there
was a rapid but intermittent subsistence
of the land or rise Of the sea-. This was
completed about $500 years ago. Then
commenced the coast erosion. He asked:
II since civilized men lived In Great Britain
there had been a rapid chang in the sea
level, followed by a long rest, what are the
prospects Of another rapid change, with
the possibility Of vast damage caused by
a rise or fall of but two or three feet in the
! level Of the sea or landp
In the education section Prof. Sadler in
his presidential address said that on the
whole Englieh education was In a very
satisfactory condition. The last decade
had been a marvellous awakening to the
importance Of education. The moral OF
his address was that monitory State control
must tend to de%individualize English char
acter.
Sir Lauder Brunton, speaking OF physical
education, said that every girl should have
a washable and u~nbreakable doll she should
be taught how to eat, to treat sore throat
and stomach ache, how to exercise and
how to make clothes.

GERMANY WOULD MIX IN EGYPT
Opposition to British Plans Likely Unless
Concessions Are Made Elsewhere.

SpstiIl Gable Despatch 10 THE Sun.
LONDON, Aug. 4.-Germany's intention
10 takean active hand In settling the Egypt
ian question after the same fashion as
she interfered in Morocco is indicated by
a significant article in the Deutsche Revue,
q leading German magazine, which reflects
the views of the Foreign Office.
q Great Britain, it declares. is preparing
to swallow Egypt cooked according to
Lord Cromer's recipe. 1t is not permissi-
bic, however, for England to carry out the
changes proposed by Lord Cromer. with the
view of transforming Egypt into a British
possession without German assent.
The writer then discloses ~ingenuously the
'nigger in the woodpile' by saying that
Germany may abandon her opposition to
England in Egypt in return for British
concessions elsewhere. England. for ex-
ample, might facilitate the construction Of
the Bagdad Railway with a terminus on the
Persian Gulf.
