Air Raids Discussed

London, September 15-(5 D. m.)-The adequacy of protection against air raids was criticised in the House of Commons today. Arthur J. Ralfour first lord of the admiralty, admitted that provisions considered sufficient at the beginning of the war had to be materially developed. He said, however, that the air servica was being supplemented far more rapidly than was the danger it was organized to meet.
 tinued. on the supply of anti-aircraft guns. The development of an aerial off, fensive had not been foreseen before the war. but the naval air service now was of great dimension.
 'I cannot say" MT. Balfour said, that there will be a discontinuance of the attacks on London, but no one will suggest that such methods of terror ism are going in the slightest degree to shake the resolution of the British people. sls
 MT. Balfour frankly admitted that he was much surprised to discover, when appointed first lord of the ad- miralty. that he was responsible for the aerial service, which had only a remote connection with naval work.
 Aerial Defense
 If the government had set to work three or four years before the war, with full knowledge of the require ments of aerial warfare, he said, the defenses of London undoubtedly would have been much better organized, but he hoped the organization now was in fair way to become complete.
 The changes already made had been very great and all were in the way of dealing adequately with the new and great responsibility. No bet ter assurance could be given the house that the defenses of London against air raids were receiving the most care full attention than the appointment of Admiral Sir Percy Scott to take charge of them.
 In respect to the protection provided against Zeppelins, London had been un- favorably contrasted with Paris. Such comparison was most unfair. Paris was fortified city; in fact. a great fortress, whereas. London was not a fortified city. None knew that better than the Germans, and under the rules of civilized warfare. London should be immune from the attacks to which she had been subjected. But he confidently hoped that the efforts of the admi- ralty would lead to great dtmunition in the danger which might be antici- pated from German atrships.

The speed with which the chart
makers work can be gagged from the
fact that in one year British hydro
graphers surveyed PIP miles of coast
line and sounded 2s19 square miles of
ocean in the same period Whenever
possible, sea captains lend a. helping
hand to the chart makers by reporting
the presence Of any unrecorded rock
or shoa1 which they may observe dur
Ing their voyages. The sea surveyors
then investigate the mariners story,
and this often means voyages at a
moments notice to distant parts of the
globe. Such expeditions are hastily
carried out, for If upcharted rocks lurk
near shipping lanes they can cause
grave disaster If not located immedi-
ately. On one occasion a large granite
rock for years stood 8 feet below the
water close to q crowded shipping
route. which no chart recorded until It
was accidentally discovered.
A hundred years ago the life of the
sea surveyor was a hazardous one, for
he often had to fight for his life when
charting waters IN wild parts Of the
globe. wherezunciviIIzed tribes resented

his intrusion. On one occasion Vice
Admiral Owen, q famous explorer in
his day, was commissioned to survey
waters of the African coast. Whilst
making his way up the Mahong river
with his assistants, the gallant band
were attacked by Zulus, who gave them
a. warm reception with assegais. The
natives displayed such hostility that
Owen eventually had to return to the
coast, although in face Of terrible dan
ger he succeeded in charting forty-six
miles of the river.
Even today sea surveyors have ex-
citing adventures whilst carrying out
their important tasks. Captain Tyson
and his party, of the United States Hy-
biographical Department, a short time
back were trapped on drifting ice
foe whilst investigating the ice phe-
nomena near Littleton Island. Sepa-
rated from their ship. they drifted for
six months and covered 1900 miles on
this foe before the crew of a New
foundland sealer rescued them. Dur
ing their strange voyage Tyson and
his assistants subsisted as best they

CHART MAKING.
Highly IMPORTANT Work With Exciting
Adventures and Valuable Results.

Few people realize how useless every
ship on the sea, from a dreadnought
to q tramp steamer, would be but for
the labor of the chart-maker. If coasts
and seas were unmapped, disasters
would be continually overtaking ocean
going ships, for submerged rocks
shoals, sea currents and many other
similar menaces to the mariner could
not be located.
Every nation possessing a coastline
retains special vessels for the purpose
Of sea-surveying, equipped with vari-
Gus necessary instruments and a care
fully trained staff. Great Britain has
about eleven ships engaged in such
work, both in home waters and in for
eign seas, and nearly a thousand men
are employed. The sea-surVeying yes
sells voyage round the coastline, MAX
ing frequent soundings, and especially
watching for any dangerous change in
the shape of the sea bottom For the
latter is continually shifting as tides
and currents collect sand at one point
and deposit it at another, whilst the
action of the waves is continually
changing the contour Of our coastline.

A Divorce Bill.
A discussion of the bill from the
house to give the superior court the
exclusive jurisdiction over the granting
OF divorce on the ground of incurabIe
insanity. The bill was explained by
Senator Klett.
Senator Bree spoke in opposition to
the bill, and Senator Barnes favored
it.
Senator Molloy opposed the bill. He
said he was opposed to the granting
of divorce on any grounds. He is a
mighty poor specimen of a man who
will get a divorce from his wife when
she is afflicted with insanity" said
Senator Molloy.
Senator Purcell also opposed the bill
and made the point that they should
not extend the grounds for divorce.

son for divorce now in a few years

tuberculosis or any other disease a
ground for divorce said Senator Pur-
cell.
