It is the contention of the Reserve sailors that if the Regular Navy prac- tice is inaugurated for the Reserve it will give a better opportunity for com- parison between the two components of the Navy and determine whether any | special training is necessary for th | citizen sailors. ¥ ‘While Lieut.

The accuracy with which sclentists now work can properly be regarded as one of the marvels of the age. Yet few people have any conception of the accuracy which is often applied daily, through scientific devices, in factories where large-scale production s carried on. In the laboratory accuracy is much greater even than in the factory and occasionally this is almost beyond be- lief. Dr. F. J. W. Roughton recently reported in the proceedings of the Royal Society measurements on the heat of rapid chemical reactions. Tem- perature measurements accurate to a thousandth of a degree were made on reactions that were completed in a hundredth of a second. He expeets, with a few improvements, to be able to measure accurately to a ten-thou- sandth of a degree. His work should throw much light on the nature of rapid reactions. This is important in many cases. It has a direct bearing on the use of internal combustion engines, and so on.
