The doctors refuse to allow the I'rince to fly to India. As a last ro- •ort, the I'rinec ha« a short talking Him made of hlniBclf reading the I'roclama- llon of Inheritance. CHAPTER v.â€" (Cx)nl'd.) The Prince's .secretary sent a .ser- vant out to get a selection of attax-'he ca.se.«i, one of which was to be used as a container for the film. The servant brought back half-a-dozen from which the secretary chose one, and returned the rest by the same messenger. Stef- an's <py in the hou.se learned all thi.s from the me.^senger (as he was well pp.id to learn and rejwrt even the most trivial happenings) as he also learned that a motor car was being sent to the Club aerodrome to bring back a gentleman who would be waiting for it, who would .stay the night in the Prince's house, and who would be driven next morning to Croydon aero- drome, to get there in plenty of time before noon. The full report of this was in .Stef- an's possef.sion within an hour, and on the heels of it came another from Max at the aerodrome that he had "fixed" the Syntax to lose a wheel oi the undercarriage In tJiking off, but that Glynn EUinian had just been driven off in a car in which the Prince'-^ •querry had called for him. With such details of inside infornui- tion, it was not difficult for Stefan and his friend"? to come to a reason- able conclusion and at least to take steps to fit their nee<ls to the conclu- sion if it iiroved to be a correct one. Actually in the broad essentia!", their cvijelujii^ns litted ^d serve<l , thcoi U-ell â€" anJ Glynn Ellinian very ill. The pilot was to be brought to tiio Prince's house, stay there the night, and be driven to Croydon next day be- fore noon. The next day was Satur- day, and Vl.'Ad p.m. was the hour of the Indian Air Mail'.? .•scheduled de- parture. It was not difficult to con- clude that the pilot was to be sent on the Air Mail, nor that if this were .so, he would be taking the film with hii'i. At this )K)inl of the reasoning, the detail of the ju.-rt-bi)i!ghl dc^-ijatch ca-c â€" which had up to tJion been deemed in.signbificant â€" a.ssuiiied a possible im- portance. If the Flying Courier were to carry the film to India, what nior-.' natural than that he should be given a case to carry it separately and seal- e<l up .so as to obviate bollii r at thv' various Customs. It was a long shot, possibly an idle chance of u.sefulness, but St<-fan liiin.self went to the .~hop wh^re the case had been bought, and n'aying he had been sent lo obtain, if possible, a duplicate of the one chosen by a friend of his out of half-a-do7.en «*nt on approval that afternoon, I:ad no difficulty in obtaining it. The possibility of the Courier going by the Air Mail definitely pleased the ronspiralors. It would be so much simpler to keep in actual close per- sonal tj>uch with the Couiier all the way, and to find ;i suitable opp<jrt un- ity to di.spose of the film he carried, and, if need be, (.f him and the lilin together. .And \! the film were car- ried in the new attache case, .so much the easier to substitute for it the exact duplicate. Hiil if all Ihi.- were wrong, and the Courier went on the Syntax, the former plans would i|uile simply be applied. SU'faii, Max an<i aiiollier . hIU-'iI, separately and booked places on the Air Mail leaving for India next du.\. • ilynn spent a very pleasant even- ing with the ripi»ri y and had a dc lijghtfuJ dinner of Indian curries and dishes and Indian "gup" of gossiping chat about people and places of the Kast, It revived very strongly in his memory the last such talk he had had â€"with Norah Seaman. He had thoug'ht of her quite often during the pa-st week, but had made no attempt to communicate with her because he had been rather tie<l by the very strict orders to keep a still tongue about his proposed flight, and did not see how he was to avoid telling her something about it except by lying flatly. Some- how he did not fancy doing that, and preferred to avoid saying anything. But now, on the eve of his setting out for India, he felt that he wanted a word with her, even if he had to sprinkle some lies thi-ough the word, or at the worst to tell her he'd been o). such a job as he had hinted might be the erne he was pulled off regular duty to take on â€" the testing of a new- type of machine and repoi-ting upon it. Wor.st of it was, he reflected, that fl.e had been so dead set on knowing whetlier it was the flying of the Prince to Napalata that she was sure to ask a direct question or two about that, and it might mean lying like a flat-fish to put her off. But, anyhow, he eouldTi't resist the chance of hearing her over the phone, so he'd risk it. He asked the equei-ry if he might use the phone, a.id received peiinission, with the warning provi.so that he should say nothing about staying that night where he was, nor of his journey by the Air Mail. "Stay right beside me," he .said in leply to this, "and pull me up if you think I may be giving anything away. But it's only a girl I want a word with, and as I've only met her once, I d'.i.'t flatter iny.self she'll be so very interested in where I'm staying, or where or when I'm going. But when I saw her about a week ago, I prom- isc<i to meet her again, and I feel rather a hog not to have made polite excuses " "My dear fellow," out, in the equcr- ly, "no need to say a word more. There you are. There's the phone, and excuse me a minute or two while you use it." "Sorry, but j just won't excuse .vou," Glynn said proniptly. "Females aie apt to ask fool questions that stump one for a quick answer that won't spill things. Ju.st you .st^nd tiy so that I ran say a side word to you and let her know I'm not alone if need be." But his clabdiate precautions prov- ed to be entirely in vain. He rang up the numlK-r Norah Seaman had given him, got an answei-, and found it was from some .sort of maid or hou.se- keeptjr who could only say that Miss Seaman was not in, and that she had, in fact, left there the day before, and that the "master and mistress" (pre- â- ^iimably her hosts) were out for the evening. Glynn gav.e her his ii:inic, s|)elliiig it carefully, and a message to ask the ma.ster or mistress to inform Miss Seaman that he would drop her a line ill the next day or two. "Th&t's that," he .said, as he Iuiiik: uj.. "I suppose it won't matter if I write back a line from about Brindisi or .Athens saying I'm outward bound with the Air Mail to India and I'll hope to see her<^ in two or thiec weeks '.vhen I get Imck." "Of course not." said I he <'qiierry, "lioes she know that you are one of the Imperial .Airways' pilot*'?" •Yes." 'Then of cdui-.'se she'll only suppose you are bac'k on your routine work." "Routine work," e<-hf)ed (ilynn, with H faii.t grimace. "You've said it. U'yoii know, I had distinct hopes that this was going to be something l)ett«r and livelier than routine workâ€" espe- cially when the Airways manager â-  I I , pushed an automatic across the table to m« as lug^ago to start out with, and then you dropped in that one about glad to fcee I'd got a gun." "Which I remember you had," smil- ed the equerry, "and carried in a way I've heard of but never met. D'you think it is better than the old-fash- ioned hip position for a quick draw and shoot?" From there the talk slid off into technicalities of carrying and using offensive weapoas, with a side discur- sion into the rival merits and demerits of a revolver and an automatic. "Oh, well," sighed Glynn rather re- gretfully, "I Suppose I can push my gun down In the bottom of my bag, or leave it behind me, now that I'm shipping out on the regular Air Mail. Y'ou don't need one on that trip any more than you'd do taking the Flying Scot to Aberdeen; or the Southern Bell to Brighton for that matter." "I hope you won't need one," said the equerry seriousily. "But you never know, and I'd .say carry it quite handy." Very quickly on the heels of that advice came a good reason for it â€" a report from the Club that it had been found that tlie Syntax had been tam- pered with, that a wheel of the under- carriage had been so carefully loosen- ed that the machine must have crash- ed either in taking off or on landing, and that the job had been done delib- erately and with knowledge enough to make sure the machine would have been at such speed when the wheel broke away that it would have meant a seriously bad crash and a "write- off" wreck of the machine and, prob- ably, anybody aboard her. "You see vhat it means," the equerry explained to Glynn. "It is evi- dently known to those who plot against us that the machine was there to fly the Prince â€" or you â€" to India. If they have marked the machine, they are quite likely to have marked you, who have been seen with it and flying it at the Club. The papers have told the full story of the film, and it may be gjessed you carry it. You may even have been watched and followed to this house.' It is almost a pity we asked you to come here." "Don't you worry about that," said Glynn assuringly. "If I can't carry a simple attache case with a couple of little tins in it from here to India on the regular Air Mail, I'm not fit to carry a handbag from Piccadilly to the bank on a London general bus. The one's just about as safe as the other." Nevertheless, the attempt on the Syntax modifie<l the procedure for next morning, and Glynn drove in a taxi instead of the household car which might possibly be recognized as that of the Prince. He drove to Vic- toria, meaning to take the Airways passenger motor from their terminus office, but first went to the Post Office to send off a number of letters and a few telegrams to friends saying he would be away for a time, and would get in touch again when he returnetl.

F. A.

One suggestion is that a landing-stage could be erected over the Thames between Southward and Blackfriars bridges, where the river is only about 600 feet wide. If this position were used, there would be nothing to pull down, and a stage could be placed in one complete span acro.ss the river, .io that it would not interfere with shipping.

At a conference which was held in Washington in 1884 and at which twenty-flvo countries were represent- ed it was decided to adopt the present method of reckoning longitude east and west from the meridian, of Green- wich, England. An effort to change hours of the day would be counted clock and watch dials so that the frora to 24, thus abolishing "A.M." and "P.M.," met with resistance, es- pecially In English-speaking countries. Now there Is a strong movement in fa- vor of this twenty-four-hour system of reckoning in Great Britain, where It has been permanently adopted by the army, navy and Air Force. According to the British scientific weekly. Nature, the twenty-tour-hour system was recommended for ofBcia! and other purposes in 1919 by a Home Office committee, but the necessary legislative action was not taken. The attitude of Parliament has always been that expressed by the Earl of Lucan, who In 1932 rose in the House of Lords to say as the representative of the Home Office that "the public has not shown that it wants the change." As If the public would ever rise en masse and clamor tor the abolition of "A.M." and "P.M." Nature makes the point that the twenty-four-hour system can be intro- duced without abolishing the present system. For ordinary purposes there is little possibility of confusing A.M. and P.M. Nor is it necessary to alter clocks by having a twenty-four-hour from 1 to 12 and 13 to 24. It would dial or by having two sets of figures satisfy the British it the twenty-four- hour system were followed in timing letters and telegrams, in noting on post boxes the hours of collection and in indicating in time tables the an-ival and departure of trains. Sun Heats the Earth At '.he Geophysical Observatory of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the Soviet scientists have sei up a boiler which is heated by the sun's rays. So far as we can determine from the meagre description that has reached this coun- try, the apparatus serves the prosaic puriwse of heating water for laundries and for outdoor bathtubs. The underlying priucipK of this method of harnessing the sun proves to be simple enough. Also very old. The water trickles in a thin film under glass. From the "boiler" it flows into the bathtub. Boiling water can hardly be expected ; yet it is warn enough tor its purpose. Boiling points are gove. eu by the pressure of the atmosphere. At sea level water boils at 212 degree- F., but on top of a very high mountain at so low a temperature that it i^ impos- sible to cook food properly without the aid of -.1 digester â€" an apparatus which is tightly closed and in \hich the pressure and therefore the tempera- ture can be raised. Although the water that comes from the Soviet bath water heater is probably not much raoro than 120 degrees F.. it could nevertheless run a low-pressure en- gine, an engine which, with the aid of a vacuum, would cause the water to give oft steam. Great Heat l-rom the Sun Crude as it is, the Soviet solar boil- er indicates ha' the hope )1' utilizing the sun's energy will not die. The reason is lo be found in the astound- ing amount of beat that beats upon the earth from the sun. Enough Is re- ceived to melt a terrestrial layer of ice 424 feet thick every year.

In an eight-hour day In the tropics the sun lavishes, on a single square mile, energy equiva- lent to that released by the combuB- tion of 7,400 tons of coal. About 1,800 times more energy Inundates Sahara than is contained in the coal mined in the course of a year. Burn 6,000 million tons of coal and you unlock the amount of solar energy that Sa- hara receives in a single day. What we need is a trap to catch the sun. The first man to invent one was John Ericsson, who built the Monitor. He devised a huge concave mirror which reflected and concentrated the sun's rays on a blackened boiler at the focus, and which was mechanically turned to follow the sun. Ericsson generated steam in his boiler and suc- ceeded In driving pumps and other machines. The late Frank Shuman modified Ericsson's plan by causing water to glow in a thin layer In a long glass- covered trough on which concave mir- rors concentrated the sun's rays. Thus he managed to drive a pump and to irrigate land in Egypt. What the Soviet scientists have announced is therefore nothing but Shuma's old plant, and this on a very modest scale. The Starchless Potato â€" Catalytic Ef- fect of Enzymes Produces Odd Veaetabie. Dr. Harold Hibbert of McGill Uni- versity found that enzymes have a pe- culiar effect on starches and cellulose, the woody part of plants. Enzymes are chemical fermei-ts which have a catalytic effect in living tissue. Cata- lysis. is a speeding up of chemical ac- tivity produced by an agent that it- self remains unaffected. Dr. Hibbert saw starches and cellulose change in- to sugars and related compounds in glass vessel. Would the same effect be produced in the living plant? He decided to find out, with the aid of Dr. R. F. Suit of Macdonald College. The results are published in Science. Potatoes were selected for the tests. Drs. Suit and Hibbert cut oft the stems of the plants and then periodically vaccinated what remained with spe- cial bacteria of the kind that secreted the necessary enzymes. When the spuds were ripe they were tested with iodine, which has an extraordinary af- finity for starch. One drop o.' iodine on starch and you have a brilliant purple color. Suit and Hibbert saw their iod'ne produce purple rings around the outside of a sllc- of potato, but none at the centre. What had hap- pened in glass had recurred in the liv- ing plant. The starchless potato had been given to the world. Will some on* come forth with sugarless sugar cane and proteinless wheat? What use there may be for the starchless potato remains to be seen. The exact nature of the juilp which would normally be starch has still to be determined.
