"The Navy League is not a jingoistic body, but it has a' deep-rooted patriotism," decides the report of tho Wellington branch, to be submitted at the annual meeting. "While it has no sympathy -with.those who. see.what is admirable in other nations only, it is ready and eager to recognise the good in other nations, and to rejoice in the more friendly relations with them. It does not look with jaundiced'eyes upon any evidence of their power and importance; it fixes as its objective to do its best to have our Navy in the condition necessary for our proper share of sea power. We are looking forward with pleasure to our country's holding out a friendly hand of welcome to the American Fleet which is to visit us next August, and, we sincerely hope that the visit will serve to increase and strengthen tho good feeling that exists between our own dear country and the great United States. The Navy League urges upon the Government of the day," adds the report, "the vital im portanee o£ jea power, and the reasons for maintaining for all time an adequate navy, merchant service, and air force as-the basic foundation of the security of the Empire."

The deepest coal mine ever sunt is, to the mass of the globe, much less than the skin of an apple in relation to the apple itself. Nevertheless, it is hard to escape the conclusion that the earth's core must be much hotter than anything ever heated artificially by man, although very high temperatures have been produced under pressure. Even if it is taken that, according to the experience of mine-sinking, the Seat increases one degree for every hundred feet bored, the temperature of the earth's centre would reach 211,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Otoe can form some idea oF what this means when it is remembered that the boiling point of water at sea-level is no more than 212 degrees Fahrenheit, so that the earth's centre would be almost exactly a. thousand times hoti«r than the water with, which tea is made.
