The South African Journal of Sci

thus far taken, at the suggestion of
the South African Association FOR the
Advancement Of Science, to secure
legislation in various countries in the
interests of science. The committees
OF sections A and c of the British as

ton at the Australia meeting: That
in view OF the fact that meteorites
which convey information Of world
wide importance are sometimes dis
posed of privately in such way as to
deprive the public OF this information.

steps as may initiate International leg
islation on the matter" Since the
Australian meeting this resolution has
been accepted by the council OF the
British association and transmitted to

1850 Miles Without a Stop.

Carrying five passengers along the
Pacific highway, a six-cylinder motor
car made a remarkable nonstop run
Of 2,050 miles in going from Tia Ju-
ana, Mexico, to Vancouver. B. c.
Neither the engine nor the wheels
were stopped once during the entire
trip. The radiator was filed at the
start and not again touched until the
destination had betn reached. At one
point it was found necessary to use
chains and these were slipped on the
rear wheels while the machine was In
motion. The run was made in 12+
hours and 20 minutes. All meals were
taken in the car. one man remaining
at the steering wheel while his four
companions ate; they also took it in
turns to sleep.

GLOWING liohts Needless.

That glazing automobile headlights
safety as they are common, is the
growing belief among those who have
devoted careful study TO the subject.
Electrical experts and others, after
careful consideration. have become
convinced that the principal source o!
glare in the case OF the ordinary auto,
mobile headlight is waste light that is
projected into the air instead OF being
concentrated on the road, where it is
needed. By eliminating this waste it
is thought that more efficient road
lighting can be developed. while the
glare nuisance can be reduced to a
minimum of absolute safety.

II cannot be impressed upon us too
