UF ? AFRICA AFFORDS: SCIENTIFIC STUDY Contributions to 'Science by «Africa Anthmed by' 3] 4 British Delegates Fd Cape Town, Union of South Africa, July 22--Scientists from all parts of the. British Empire assembled today for the inaugural meeting of the Bri- tish Association for 'the Advance- ment of Science, and were extended a warm welcome by President Jan H. Hofmeyr, M.A, president of the Saquth African A Assaciation, who de- fivered 'an address on the subject, "Africa and Science." President Hofmeyr said he spoke, for not only the South African As- sociation but for all South Africa when: he. made welcome the mem- bers of .the great organization © scientific men the history of which was the history of the advancement of science and whose presidential roll boasted such names as Brewster and Tyndall, Huxley and Kelvin, Rayleigh and Lister. South Africa, he aver- red, 'was deeply grateful for the honor of the visit and the stimulus te- its progress and development which would necessarily attend. it. 'Warm tribute was paid to. the achievements and significance of the British Association. ~ It was the greatest contributor to British sci- ence in the Nineteenth Century. It was a prime mover in work. of the greatest value and "its meetings year after year have done more than any other single factor to stimulate and hasten the onward march of science." Th continuing he gracefully recogniz- ef! the debt owed by the South Afri- can Association to its illustrious léader. In continuing, the president remarked: "The British Association has imposed no narrow restrictions on the extension of the sphere of its activity; within that ever widening sphere it has mainfained a spirit of co-operation between workers in di- verse fields which has been worthy "W.

Further the presi- dent remarked that he took pleasure in welcoming the visiting members "because of our consciousness of the reatness of our indebtedness to the hn visit of the Association 24 years ago." Turning to the theme of his ad- dress--"South Africa and Science" -- President Hofmeyr spoke of the wide and almost virgin fields that Africa offered to scientific investi- gation, In nearly every department of .pure and applied science, he said, there was work hardly entered upon and of the utmost importance to science. In the department of as- tronomy the prevalence of clear nights offered marvellous facilities to the study of the heavens and the in- formation to be obtained, almost es- sential to the application of the stores of information, accumulated in the northern hemisphere. With the in- creased equipment now available the continent was in a position to offer important contribution to astronomi- cal science. It is remark}.

In this matter Africa had its part to play, situated as it was in a position central to the other continents of the Southern Hemi- sphere and as much as they subject to 'seismo disaster. "For the sake," he said, "Both of South Africa and of science in general, I" wodld ven- ture to express the hope that this second visit of the British Associa- tion will give as powerful a stimulus question of the original position of the continents." the many and difficult problems con- fronting the research worker in medi- cal science problems in their solu- tion vital to the sanitary existence of the white races in Africa.

Africa was in the prevention of dis- case. "All too often in the past," he said, "settlement schemes have been undertaken and ended in disaster in arcas unhealthy to man, beast or crops, when, if the scientist had first been called in, precautions might have been taken which would have averted the calamity. "Africa challenges science to define, to determine, and to guide her fu- ture.

According to an authoritative statement at Blackpool, where tne miners' leaders are conferring, the government intends to restore the seven-hour day by instalments, first introducing'the 74 hour day before the end of the year. When the ¥- hour day act expires in 1931 the seven-hour day will be substituteu, according to this report. The executive of the Miners Federation today receives a report from the four officials who inter- viewed the Prime Minister yester- day, and meeting in private this af- ternoon is going fully into the question of working hours. The de- legates are confronted by a diffi- cult situation and there is reason to believe the leaders will advise 1eem not to, act rashly or take any deci- slon which might jeopardize the position of the Labor Government. It was regarded today as a very open question, whether the miners would view favorably the plan sug- gested by the government, of re- turning to the seven-hour day in instalments, since the senior dele- gates consider the scheme invoives an unequal division of the burden of loss entalled by the reduction of hours. It was learned, however, there is a movement under way to induce the conference to leave the matter to the executive without any binding decision at this stage. The eight hour day went into force as part of the former Conser- vative Government's Trade Dis- putes Act, following the general and coal strikes of 1926. 777224 o. LOUNTS .

"Africa," he said, "is a con- tinent, portions of which have al- ways had a specidl interest for geo- logists - because of the great diver- sity of the geological phenomena manifested, and the .vast mineral wealth which, as its ancient workings so abundantly prove, has attracted man's industry from the very earliest times.
