In fact ourcontemporary believes that the tendencyof commercial laboratory work is towardslovenliness. The secret of good labora-tory work in experiment or research is inthe correct of control of conditions, pre-cision in handling instruments and ap- pcrimenter failing to realize such dis-crepancy might be misled. The experimental and research labora-tory is one of the greatest helps in theadvancement of science and it behoovesall those engaged in such work to studyaccuracy and care to the highest point,particularly in conducting experimentswhich are necessarily removed from exi-gencies of business Joint Railway Time Table. The leading railway companies inScotland, the Caledonian, Great North ofScotland, the Glasgow & Southwestern, theHighland and the North British, arediscussing the propriety of issuing ajoint public time table to take the placeof the assortinent issued by the variouscompanies. Scotland is a small countryand the idea is a good one. If it workswell there it might be tried elsewherewith much profit to all concerned.
