Our Note Book. I the Unemployed—Not an army, but a Phantasmagoria of Changing Elements— The Gamut of Human Discord- Organisation Versus Liberty. The problem of unemployment is ibout the most difficult of all. We are iccustomed to hear orators allude, in •he tlorid style of their order, to the .a.uniy of unemployed." Were they eally an "army '—w hic h implies homo- lenity and amenability to discipline and ■rganisatiou—most of the tangle would ¡e unravelled and the problem would lave lost the bulk of its intricacies. Un- ortunately, the unemployed are not an rmy (writes "Laos") they are not tren a rabble ,but rather a phantas- aagoria, their constituents perpetually hanging. Unemployment is the penalty that. eople pay for freedom. Probably thy lost successful effort yet made for eating with it has been that, of the -alvation Army, and they base found it nothing but a bed of roses; though tarting out on the principle that indi- idunl regeneration must be the primary oncern, they have achieved some mea- ure of success. If it were the genuine, ble-bodied, able-minded, and indus- riaily trained man or woman we had to eat all would be plain sailing, lut it is not. This class, though not. nknown, are in number insignificant j comparison. # Striking off as special classes, for hom every enlightened people must, y the Jaws ol humanity, provide, such s young children, the sick, the dill- bk-d, and the old, we have yet left a anety, which do not readily fall into ppes, except that they are unem- loyed, from the philosopher whose bent es outside ot direct illatrJallnterest, arough all the gamut of human dis- 3rd down to what in the Church Army ley call the unhelpables." Another Jnous question to be considered is how ur methods of rehy hiiition of those wiii iHWt. on the general community. # The solution more and more evades us we practically begin to deal with the robieni of the unemployed. There is le rough, drastic method of compul- )ry work, under Government control, )1' all who are unable to find their icho in the industrial machinej-y, and nder the necessarily varying degree of lildness or severity. We hesitate to eprive man of liberty; yet after all,! berty is not the highest good. But, in ny event, this would be but a t-eni- orary ex!vxhent; and the problem ou!d remain—how to reconcile liberty oi.i'icf remakii--how to i-eeGncil(, I I I)erty ith rigid organisation.

ANALYST'S REPORT. i i Swansea Expert's Investiga- I tions and Opinion. j Interest in the Baoon Hole discovery is certain to be revived by the state- ments contained in the report of the County Analyst (Mr. C.

Llewellyn Morgan. Brvnbriallu, Swansea.. Jan. 2nd. 1913. j THE REPORT. ) N elson-texraee, January 1st, 1913. Dear Col. Niorgan,-i must apologise for the long time I have kept you for j my report upon the paint from Bacon Hole, hut I have only been able to work at it in the intervals of manifold other occupations, and the problem is not as simple as it boems, otr account of the minute. quantity available. To test for oil did not seem very pro- mising, considering tha small amount of material and the fact that the oil would became insoluble in ordinary solvents. I therefore directed my attention to lindiug some other constituent which would distinguish mooern paints from natural ochre, and after examining several samples of modern ship's paint I found tlxat they contained barytcs and barium sulphate in considerable amount. This is a very penruuient substance, but its certain detection in smail quantities proved difficult. In view of the importance of the matter, I consulted juy friend, Mr. Tyler of the Technical College, Swansea, i to whose ingenuity I am indebted for working out the method which, in con- junction with him, We linailv used, I will not enter into details here, but found t.hat by microchemical methods we could with certainty prove the presence of barytes in a few milligrams of ordi- j nary ship's paint. We applied thei method very carefully to the red sub- stance which you pointed out as being i possibly droppings from a brush, j Barytes were absent. Markings Not Modern. I We then tested the scrapings from i the marks on the wall at Bacon Hole, j and barytes were again absent, at any j rate in such quantities as would be l found in a ship s paint. The evidence, then, so far as it goes, is against the theory that the markings were made with modern paint. Of course, t is not conclusive, s ince it is not proved that all red ship's paint, contains barytes, and it would be do-1 sirahle to test as many samples as po- sible. The question of oil is more diffi- cult, and Nir. Tyler and I h-ope to work out a method of examining this point. It involves, however, what is praoti- can, a research into mierochemicaj methods, which will have to he care- fullv tested before being applied to the minute amount of material lemaining. j Age of Marks. I In my opinion, then, the chemical evidence so far obtained, although not conclusive, ib in favour of -ilie view that the paint is not modern, but made with a native ochre such is abundant in the, cave and the surrounding districts. As regards the ago of the marks, I cannot express an opinion, and would rather trust the judgment of those authorities who have had a large ex- perience of prehistoric paintings than that of any one unversed in these; matters.

DRAGGED BY A COW. Young Mumbles Butcher's Terrible Experience. An alarming and unpleasant experi- enoo has befallen Mr. George Smale, (28), tho son of Mr. It. Smale, butcher, Newton-road j Mumbles.

By cy)illc mischance two lad let his rope go. and tho cow, apparently startled, at once act off at a good pace. Mr. Smaie liaxf lastaned his rope securely around his wrist, and before he could detach it ho was pulled off his loet. Tlie animal, now thoroughly frightened, dashed down the steep declivity of Boeu-.spit-lane, Norton, dragging the unfortunate man over the rough n.nd rugged path for nearly haii a mile int-o Newton-road, where, ex- hausted by its efforts, it was stopped. Mr*. Smale was in a deplorable con- dition when picked up in a semi-oon- SC10U3 condition. His clothes had been practically torn off him, and his body was a mass of bruises. He was con- veyed to his father's house, where he now lies, his condition being; regarded as serious. The full extent of his in- juries is not yet known, but a medical examination was made to-day. The cow has £ .inee been slaughtered.

After receiving medical attention, ho was conveyed to his home at Penywern, Neath.

I PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTA- TION. Sir Alfred Mond's Question to the Premier. In the House of Commons yesterday, Sir Alfred Mond (L.) asked the Prime Minister whether the provisions for minority representation in Parliamen- tary constituencies returning three members contained in the Act of 1867 have ever been repealed, and, if not, whether, in order that the. provisions for elections in Irish Parliamentary constituencies may conform to the exist- ing law affecting elections in Parlia- mentary constituencies in Great Britain, the Government will consider the advis- ability of amending Clause 9 of the Gov- ernment of Ireland Bill so as to provide for the representation of minorities re- turning three or more members. M, r. Asquith: In vietV of the fact that the Irish Parliament will be in a posi- tion to deal with the matter alter the expiration of three years from the pass- ing of the Bill the Government do not think it advisable to introduce any such special provisions as those suggested.
