CONFERENCE OF DELEGATES. The second conference of delegates was held at the Proprietary School, Dumfries-place, Cardiff, on Tuesday afternoon, Mr G. J. Symons pre- siding. There was only a small attendance of delegates. The various sections were taken seriatim, and in Section A Dr Mill gave a resume of the obser- vations made by the naturalists' societies in the country on the temperature variations in lakes, rivers, and estuaries, and observed that amongst the few societies which had done well in the ob- servations was the Cardiff Naturalists' Society, Whi(lk had sent in a good record of observations made in the River Taff. In Section D, Dr VACHELL again called atten- tion to the reckless destruction of birds' eggs on the island of Grasholm, and reported that he had brought the matter before the committee, and it was thought that the case might be strengthened by a resolution from the conference. He there- fore moved "That a committee be, appointed to take steps for the future legislative enactment for the preservation of wild birds' eggs." This was seconded and carried, and the conference soon afterwards adjourned.

-==- economic^J- AND This Section, alth^T— at 10 o clock, did annottnced t,n quite an hour i -c^ually assrSasE- the great variability by remarkino that- r]!^bmt- forb«d, ,he of theS„ £ sh»pe' j nn„. a statistical sought must be derive 3n'equent]y, th^e nd from consid«-ation 0? theTlo?ical fa°ts human vigour made by the "Pon followed. -Ie treated his sulvL 0CQ,uPationa followed. -Ie under two neads, according as thbefore, from the consideration of the inditT*? ^ived and of the work to he ^worker, the paper connned his remark', +, u tltle of physical labour, leaving nndiseussed ly or distinct labour of the intellect, which £ nn!qUfly hp largely ignored in the txnmlar ij aPPened to ^oSg^ople. Individual varied in direct relatwn to mnate 1 Wor1 endowments to the extent 0f fre!»d^„ yfea! Wise, hereditary or acquired, and fro^b^" -1;:1 deformity to original and acquired aptitude for. labour; and, in some measure, to mental gifts. Idiosyncrasy and racial characteristics were other minor factors determining ability for certain kinds of employment. These diversities in indi- vidual capacity for work showed the futility of., general rules to govern Ion men's labour. In the. second division of the subject the leading cohdi- tions of labour as affecting the construction of data were examined. First of these ^was the-i amount of actual bodily effort called for. rhough^ this in great excess is detrimental to health and life, its effects are less pronounced than seden- tary work, statistics clearly proving that the comparative mortality figure of the latter, as illustrated by numerous trades, was considerably greater than that of active and strong muscular exertion. Moreover, apart from physical toil, there was a multitude of collateral and accidental conditions of employment of great influence upon capability for labour, and which called for examination when data for limiting the extent and duration are searched for. Among such were the situation of work, whether in the open country or in a town whether above or beneath the surface of the ground; and in con- nection with these circumstances the existence of darkness, of foul air, or noxious fumes, of the presence of dust, and whether poisonous or not, of elevated temperature, or of highly-increased atmospheric pressure with reference to mining, in which many unfavourable conditions enter, it seemed desirable that the hours of labour be shortened. Nevertheless, were the evidence of the production of a high death-rate to be ac- cepted as the criterion for curtailing working hours, mining would not challenge the first place, but be surpassed by several other occupations, and especially by the manufacture of cutlery and of pottery. In demonstrating the iu- fiuenco of incidental conditions of work upon the sources of data, illustrations were, for the most part, drawn from the character of mining opera- tions. To guard against misunderstanding, the speaker called attention to the fact that the remarks made applied to adults and that, in the case of children, distinct data for limiting labour existed in imperfect development and advancing growth in body and mind—data, indeed, rightly used in framing the restrictions of the Factory Acts. Lastly, whilst admitting the existence of trades presenting conditions of labour seriously prejudicial to health and lite, and calling, in consequence, for some limitation of the hours and extent of labour, he deprecated general inter- ference by legislative enactments with the free- dom of men in the pursuit of their selected trades, as being prejudicial to enterprise and to the manufacturing interests of the country, and also as destructive of individual responsibility, and of the feeling of independence, replacing the natural law of self-preservation by State- nursing The PRESIDENT saiddDr Arlidge had brought this very important subject before them in a manner for which they must be exceedingly gratified. In Australia there appeared to be a very general impression that eight hours' worl was the right length of time for most of the manual trades. He proceeded to treat the matter from various points; of view, saying there was an economic question- as to what was the alllount-çf work they could, get out of men and women without working them out. The other question was a philanthropic one as to what amount of time for educational and social^ purposes should a man have, and how should .he: spend it. He dealt upon the particular import- ance of the question in the economic sense. A discussion followed, in which Mr MACNIGHT (Edinburgh) contended that the paper of Dr Arlidge, and* the observations of the last speaker, all showed that the legislative cry for eight hours was an entire mistake and, error, and ought to be resisted in the most deter- mined and firm manner. He was entirely against any State regulation of the kind, and he was very sorry indeed that trades unions and other workman's organisations should commit this grant error in point of principle. It clearly showed their ignorance on the question. Mr RHODES deprecated any attempt to reduce hours of work uniformly, as it would destroy all independence of action, and, what was more, by going in for such a measure, they would not let their various labourers sort themselves out into the kind of work, and the duration of it, which was best suited to them. Mr J. H. Levy and Mr Fredericksen (Copen-; hagen) followed, after which Dr Arlidge replied; and was thanked for his paper. THE CURE OF CONSUMPTION. ITS ECONOMIC ASPECTS. Dr G. W. HAMBLETON, in referring to the cure; of consumption in its economic aspects, contended that consumption was preventible by giving attention to breathing, to temperature, and by- increasing the girth of the chest by means of fair athletic exercises, and that in its early stage, even when both lungs were affected, it could be cured, and even at later stages, could be ame- liorated, by a course of reformatory exercises, and observances in regard more particularly to the increase of chest measurement and physical developments. He spoke from parsonal observa- tions. After remarks by Dr Arlidge, the reader of the paper replied upon points raised. FOOD AND POPULATION. A paper was read in Mr W. E. A. Axon's be- half on the increase of food and population. It was argued that although deaths from starva- tion did occur m the wealthiest city in the world,. the fact was not due to the scarcity of food, but to the manner in which ic was distributed. Generally speaking, the condition of the people— a vastly increased" number-bad improved. He also dwelt upon the great value of vegetable food, pointing out that meat was, after all, a second- hand food which derived its best nutriment from vegetables. It was expensive, relatively, and'' the area occupied by cattle, &c., could be produc- tive of a greater quantity of vegetable food. Mr MACNIGHT, Edinburgh, regarded the paper as an exaggerated statement of the benefits of' vegetable food. On the other hand he would certainly be free to admit that taking the food and the dietary employed by the working people, there had been a great change—that was to say more vegetable food was consumed by people 5Q. years ago in England, and particularly Scotland, than now. He referred to the vast mcrease of population, and as, after all, it was perhaps illusionary to suppose the people would give up animal food, be suggested that their effortsshould be directed to increase the knowledge of the people on the subject. DrALRDIGE centinued the discussion, and the session adjourned for luncheon, LE PLAY'S :METH01J OF SYSTEMATIC OBSERVATION. Mr F. Aubertin read a paper on the above sub- ject. He said thatit was a difficult and a delicate task to interpret in a few words, the spirit of a great thinker and indefatigable worker. It would be remembered that on the centenary of the Wealth of Nations," Lord Sherbrooke- (then Mr Robert Lowe, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer) summed up the teaching of Adam Smiths in the propositions that the causes of wealth were two—industry and thrift and the causes of poverty were two—idleness and waste. Well said Mr Forster ruggedly you did not want to go to Adam Smith for that, you could- get that out; of the Book of Proverbs." Similarly some of the expositors of the doctrine of Le Play temptea one to say well you can get that out of the Ten Commandments," and the reproach would have some measure of justice if it were -not remembered that Le Play set himself to discover the causes of social happiness and social misery. Mr Charles Booth had reminded them, however, that there was no necessary connection between. happiness and wealth. In his opinion, happiness depended upon work and love. As he (the speaker) had heard Professor Forwell say from another point of view, they might have (probably the had) great material progress side by side wita lessened contentment. The important economic work of Le Play on the Workmen ot Europe was, however, an economic document of the first order of importance. It oontainod 30 to 40 minute studies of workmen's families throughout Europe. Its first aspect pro. voked a smile. There was something apparently trivial about the chronicle of pots and pans and garments, their flaws, their quality and value, the record of food consumed, and the like. Every fact and every- figure which could lend to a thorough painting of the family was present, and they were led to ask whether this was not another example of mis- applied energy de minimus. But it had been said (though he knew not what it meant) that the little foxes spoilt the vines. And they had seen little facts spoil pretty theories, as in the case of the wages fund. In the world of mechanical science, progress had been defined as the utilisation of waste forces. And the utilisation of hitherto' wasted facts might yet damuch for the advance- ment of economics. Mr<Aubertin then mentioned a few directions in which Le Play's method might be useful frotn this point of view. The study of the family and the statistics of its consumption were fundamental in most economic questions. The nature of competition, the mobility of labour, the co-efficient of friction in eduction, taxation, the construction of an in- dex number, standard of comfort, real wages, and domestic industry. Thanks were accorded to Mr Aubertin-for his. interesting paper, and the PRESIDENT mentioned' that Mr E. Cannan being preveuted from attending, his paper on Recent Changes in the Distribution of Population in England.and Wales would be taken as read. This concluded- the business of the section. Professor DUNBAR proposed a vote of; thanks to< Professor Cunningham, the president, for the great skill and success with which he had presided over the proceedings of the section. Mr G. CARSLAKE THOMPSON seconded with: much pleasure, and said he felt sure they would agree with him when he said that there were in- dustries and phases of economic development that were well worth studying in the place where they had met for the meetings of the year 1891. (Hear, hear.) The proposition was cordially carried and the President expressed his thanks for the support that had been given him. The work had been very interesting, and he would have nothing but pleasant memories of the meeting at Cardiff. (Applause.) This terminated the proceedings.

SECTION G. MECHANICAL SCIENCE. Under the presidency of Mr Forster Brown the mechanical science section continued its sittings at the Proprietary Schools, at 10 o'clock on ruesday morning. Great interest centred in the paper of Mr Bennett on "AN ELECTRICAL PARCEL EXCHANGE SYSTEM." The author said :—The congested state of the streets in many of the large towns, notably in the of London, invites reflection aa to whether l3J^o^ possible to devise means by which vehicu- M T>a may to a certain extent be diminished. V^frnett described a scheme by which parcels ua small package:-) may be freely interchanged the various buildings of a ?own by means o £ -miniature electric railways laid preferably, but ,not necessarily, underground, in pipes or culverts. Such pipes may be laid along the principal thoroughfares, communicating to the right and left by means of spurs or sidings with the premises of the subscribers to the system. In imitation of a telephone exchange, the pipes converge at one or more central stations, where operators having sole control of the*traflic are on duty, and where are situated the dynamos and other apparatus. The scheme may be worked out in various ways, but Mr Bennett proposes, by preference, <* rectangular tube carrying two tracks or lines of rails, one above the other, the lower being used for the drf(vn, and the upper for the up trame. On the rails run trucks fitted with electro- motors,, deriving propelling current from a parallel conductor laid between the two tracks, so that on the down journey trucks gather current by a col- lector pressing on the under, and on the up journey by one pressing against the upper surface "of the conductor. The sidings into the premises served are connected to the main line by switches .resembling those of an ordinary railway, which are normally, by means of springs, kept in their position for through traffic, but which by the agency of electricity the operator at the central station can put over so as to connect with the sidings, The tracks enter the premises one above the other, but, if there is room available, they then diverge and effect a junction, so that trucks can be shifted from the down to the up line without lifting them off the rails. On entering a siding I a truck automatically signals the operator that it is clear of the main line, and on running into the premises it is brought up by means of catches and springs, which are depressed in one direction only, and which also serve to announce its arrival by ringing electric bells, and prevent its being returned by error or design into the tube on the wrong track. The connections of the motor are so arranged that a truck, even if placed on the wrong line, would not move backwards so as to cause a collision. The up track is blocked at the sending end, so that, although a truck may be placed on the up siding ready for despatch, it cannot obtain propelling current until the operator has a clear road for it. He then electrically removes the block, and gives the truck current by which it is brought into the central. The operators have thus complete control over the movements of trucks. Goods could be delivered during the night, and empty trucks sent into the various sidings for next day's traffic. If desired, collisions could be prevented between trucks in motion in the same direction by automatic blocks. The paper claimed that such a system would prove of immense service if existing between the chief and branch post-offices of a city, between railway goods -stations, parcel receiving offices, and large business establishments, etc. The delivery of letters, telegrams, and parcels could be effected 'by the Post-office to subscribers without the aid of postmen, while matter for despatch by post: ana telegrams, ,together with the money to defray the charges thereon, could -be forwarded by sub- scribers to the post-office. For post- office work the system would simply be a great-development. I, of the existing pneuinatio tubes. It is?" not; .contended that such a system would pay if constructed specially for parcel work, j.although the surprising developments of the last decade scarcely permit of limits being assigned to the ppssible developments of the next;; but the author assumes that the construction of- subways beneath all the chief thoroughfares of; large towns for the purpose of containing electric Jigbt and power leads, telephone wires, pipes for gas, fresh water, sea water, hydraulic power, compressed-air, and other adjuncts of our com-, plex civilisation, will shortly become an al»ipluteJ necessity. A beginning in that direction hasfbeen made under the auspices of limited companies in some American cities, and we must sooner or later follow suit. Then when that time arrives an electrical parcel exchange could be carried out effectively and economically as part of the scheme. Our footpaths and carriage-ways will eventually be laid upon the lids of huge boxes, through which well-lighted pathways, affording crossings and short cuts for passengers at congested spots, may even be carried. Following a few remarks by the CHAIRMAN, Sir FREDERICK 0RAMWELL said the author had very well thought out the difficulties attendant on such a system as was proposed, and so far as he- (the speaker) could see he had overcome them all. *The only question was would it pay ? He (Sir F. BramweII) had had some experience in tunnelling, and he believed the cube of the tunnel could not be made for less-than £13 to £20 per lineal yard. Mr BtNNiE said this i<fea might be worked, between the central and branch stations in London, and he had no doubt the post-office authorities would'introduce such a system before 'long, Mr GBEATHEAD thought the time was some- what distant when they could have a complete system of subways such as would be required to bring the scheme into operation. Mr BENNETT said he had considered this ques- tion of subways, and he found that it would be necessary to make a clean sweep of the existing mains and begin over again. The post-office would soon have to adopt some such system to "7rneet their requirements, and they must be the -authorities to initiate the scheme. The parcels post was growing, and a small army of men and mail-carts were employed in the transmission of the parcels. Mons. BENIEB then described the hot air motor called after him. The lecture was illustrated by drawings of the various parts of the engine. The question of hot or caloric engines has greatly interested the scientific and engineering world for years. It has been generally admitted that the discovery of aleaIly gOQd hot air engine would be of tha greatest importance from Sconomic and other considerations—amongst other advantages, boilers, with attending expense and danger, being entirely done away with. A considerable number of these engines are already in use in France and elsewhere on the Continent for industrial, electric-lighting, and other pur- poses. Several have been supplied to the French Government for use in lighthouses and fog-horn lightships. The air passes through the fire itself directly into the combustion-chamber. With this type of engine a much greater initial pressure can be obtained, he maintained, than in engines using a separate Combustion-chamber, where the air Is heated through an intervening metallic diaphragm. The drawing up of the grit Mid ashes is completely prevented in the present Actor, this latter feature forming an important part of the invention. The engine is constructed on the beam principle, and the combustion- chamber is really a prolongation of the working cylinder. The consumption of coke is about 31bs. (one kilogramme and a half) per horse- power and per hour. Other papers of a technical character were read and discussed, and the business of the Section, concluded.

LADY BUTE'S GARDEN PARTY. Among the many disappointments which must be recorded in connection with the meeting of the British Association at Cardiff this year, Tuesday's garden party, given by the Marchioness of Bute in the Castle grounds, and which was almost completely spoiled by the rain, was probably the most regrettable. To some extent, Saturday's excursions were spoiled at the last hour, and the unsettled state of the weather last week had the effect of limiting the numbers attending all the excursions, and causing one to be abandoned alto- gether. After so wet a week as that which ended on Saturday, it was only reasonable to hope that the weather would really take up," and the I LADY BUTE. I garden party given by Lady Bute, with attendant bright sunshine, compensate somewhat for the depressingly dull and wet days which have been experiencea during the visit ef the British Asso- ciation tp the town. The whole of the holders of the Association tickets were invited to the grounds on Tuesday by the Marchioness; and in addition to that list of over fifteen hundred there were special invitations to local residents sent out, bringing up the total to nearly three thousand. Every one was expecting an enjoyable time, but the rain during the past few days has justified the clown's song, For the rain it raineth every day," and on Tuesday it crowned all by a steady and almost incessant downpour from mormng till night. Instead of three thousand, the guests numbered about 300. Admission was gained to the grounds by the lodge gate near Canton Bridge, and to the left, in a sheltered spot, where the trees formed a crescent, there had been erected a band stand, a covered plat- form, and two refreshment marquees. The band of the Penarth Batteries of the 2nd Glamorgan Artillery Volunteers (by the permission of Colonel Ingram), under the baton of Mr Paul Draper, took up a position on the stand, bnt were obliged to move to the larger refreshment tent, where they played a really fine selection of music. The comments of the visitors on the playing of the band were unanimous and unreservedly flattering; and the two clarionet solos, given in a finished style by Mr C. Draper, R.C.M., were especially admired. The coverad platform had been erected for the Rhondda Glee Society, and Mr Tom Stephens conducted his large choir of male voices through several Welsh airs, to the immense delight, a'nd curiosity of the—shall we say foreigners t The rain spoiled tho party, bufe not altogether. For the first hour and a half it was all rain outside, while inside the large marquee there was a busy crowd talking science principally meteor- ology talking about old acquaintances, and the many incidents of the British Association meeting, and accompanying it, in true English fashion, by the despatch of wines, ices, and numerous other delicacies. The catering had been admirably done by Mr S. P. Hunt, of the Park HQtel, and his efforts were fully appreciated by the visitors. The Marquis of Bute seemod to have conceived the idea of giving the visitors to the town an opportunity of making the acquaintance of a really Welsh national institution, for he had secured the services of 'the Rhondda Glee Society and issued a programme of Welsh airs in the vernacular, even to the headline, "Rhaglen, and he stood by the platform regardless of the rain till it ceased a little, and then by his presence encouraged the visitors to venture from the canvas covering into the open. The concert which was given proved interesting and mirthful, for the programme taxed the philological powers of the Saxons. As air after air was sung with remarkable precision and harmony, one of the British Association visitors called out to a member of the choir nearest him. Can you inform an ignorant Saxon what you aresinjing ?" and turned tho laugh upon himself. And the Celt informed the" ignorant Saxon" that it was the Welsh national hymn, Hen Wlad fy Nhadau." There was then a call for "The Men of Harlech," the singing of which all present enjoyed, and the choir and audience joined in singing the martial air. The singing of the Welsh choir was the feature of the afternoon, and Mr Tom Stephens had frequently tf acknowledge to the hearty "bravos" which the singing called forth. The few who attended the party admired the music, the singing, and the beautiful grounds, but one and all deplored the weather. The musical programme was as follows :— Quick March "Forward" Doppler.
