WORK IN TAR DYES. We regret to announce the death of Professor Raphael Mlldola which occurred yesterday at the age of 66 at his home in square.

Professor Meldola was one of the comparatively few chemists in this country who had actual practical experience in the manufacture of tar colours. Alter attending the Royal School of Mines he entered the colour factory of Messrs. Williams. Thomas. and Dorner at Brentlord and alter remaining there for about' two years became a member of the teach.

lug staff in the Royal College of Science. South Kensington where for a time he was private assistant to Sir Edward Frank land in the research laboratory. He next became sis to Sir Norman Lockytl in the Solar Physics Laboratory. with the object. of gaining experience in astronomical and spectroncopic work.

and in 1876 ho WAS in charge of a Government expedition which was sent to the Xioobar lsLniii to observe the total eclipse of the sun. On his return he received an appointment in the colour works I of Brooke. Simpson end Spiller at Hackney Wick. and daring the eight yrs ho spent there he made some important inventions. or disooverie.

in connexion with tar dyos. Re left this position in 185 to become Pro- loaor of Chemistry in Finsbnry Technical Coflege. but though he thus severed any official connexion with the tar colour I industry ho always his interest i in t. Even that time he fore-1 aw the decadence of that industry in this country unless it methods were reformed. He ways refused to admit that ors such an industrial alcohol and our patent laws were the of its decay.

and stodfantry proclaimed that chemical research WM the prime- factor in its development and that its decline in this country dated from the time that Continental manufacturers allied themselves with pure science arid British manu- I fcturers neglected such aid. So recently OH the beginning of this year in cVonncxion with the British Dyes Company of the advisory' council of which he appointed chairman last July. ho protested strongly in a. letter to The Times the subordination of science to business in an industry in which science should govern the directorate. He WM also an authority on photographic chemistry and in 1901 published a book on th Chemical Synthesis of Vital Products.

OuWde chemistry he had an interest in biological qUftitlon Ho WM editor and trans. later of Weismanns Studies in the Theory of Dofcccnt in 83. and served as president of the Entomological Society in 97. and one of his hobbies was the study of mimicry in butterflies. Among the lronours he received were thi presidencies of the Chemical Society.

the Society of Chemical Industry the Society of yers and CQlourists. and the Institute of rticmistry. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1886. and in 1913 was awarded ita 11 Davy Medal. In 1910 he was Herbert Spencer Lecturer at Oxford University.

The managing couxil of the Royal Albert Hall aare refused to allow the organized by the WsPU to demand the loyal and vigorous conduct of the war to take place there to-morrow. Mrs. I lanUiurst wae announced as the chairman aid Lord Wllloaghby de Broke. Mr. Bryce" MP and Mrs.

Annie Kermey were to have spoken. In a tier usiveytng this decision the s-crttary pointed out Utat the hail was let for a great patriotic meeting. but that In the opinion of the council a meetAig of the character stated in the circular kUer could not be ocnbed as patriotic. This letter which was circulated privately contained a new version of the objects of the mooting It announced that Anxiety OOftOfrning the Govcmmnta conduct of the nations affairs during the war has been steadily growing for some time put. The betrayal of Serbia has come as a final and tragic proof that.

neither the honour nor the interests of the nation are safe la the present hands and that in particular the' Prime Minister and Sir Edward OJfY are unfit for the great and responsible positions they hold. On Monday the text of the letter became known for the first time and from that moment many of those who bad supported the meeting in its original form refused further countenance to it The WSPU now announce A meeting win be held. The time. plate and date will be announced later. Ticket-holders are asked to retain their tickets for a few days until further arrangements have been made.

LORD ROSEBERYS FORECAST. The Earl of Rost-bery as Chancellor of the University of Londonpre8ided yesterday evening at University College when Professor J. H. Morgan gave the first of a senes of five Rhodes Lectures on The Was- end the Political Unity of the Empire. Before the lecture Lord Rosebery inspected a guard of honour provided by the University OTC LORD ttosEBEBT In a short speech at the close of the lecture.

said he oocld not foflow Morgan over the whole of his territory and domain. but. he would like to state his complete arnement with the thesis that. th old Bnrvpe as we knew It. had disappeared never to return in its present ehapo and that at the conclusion of the war the form It would assume would be nothing like the form with which we had familiar.

He said I do not know anything more discouraging than the announcement that has rrcentJy been made Uwt the one great State in the world which is so remote and so powerful that one mihi think it. Ogtit free from the hideous and. bl idy burden of war I know of DOtIr. more thsheas-tekng than the that. the Unlknd Btatea of America boat to embark upon a huge Armada ltined to he or IICCGnd only to our own.

This means the burden centime all ether Ti i nii and hi tncreue4 ezaoUy in proMstion to the Fleet of the iteJ I eoMees it. is a diaKearteziing prospect that the United States so great lid intern Kent a country. so happily remote from European conflicts should voluntarily in these days take up a burden which. after the WM. will be lound almost to have broken our llIaEB1AL FEOEVTION Lot me WI you noraethin about the Imperial Federation League.

It wee founded by W. E. Forstn. I should think more than 4 years ago and it did excellent work in the way of drawing together the Coloniea a they were then ct. sod the Mother Qnnt7 We had meetings both with the ftolnnisbi and with the home and UM yititt wan emmentry fruiUul.

but at our more impatient be an to urge that we mbmit a titational plan for the Government of the Empire in a drflnit form the jad neat of the public These who sree4 with me were mortally opposed to thu. We did not it was the rigti or the privilege of a private soo attempt anythinc BO gigantic and at that. time we had a very strong TTnTW KlrYTt Kjb rvA of af on- TYfr nmn I At sV4 should come tpm what are now the Dominions arid not from the Mother Country. I sin rather disposed to I think that with the lox of tine and the ex- i perlencc of the war that jndfroent may hi revened and that the proposal thoeld come from the Mother Country to the Dominions to come into her councils and share her responsibility Ii repNl foreign policy. Howevwr that only shows wtit progress the question hi nude.

Let me take another instance from my own recolloc. UCln. I was in Canada in 1873 and in Australia ix 1883 and I IUD bound to Kay that in 873 and 1883 both to Canada and in lia sentiment was a very pale sxwdow of wh it is now. I think that if our hotter spirits tad bees able to influence tie Government of country and to have per vuaded it to invite the Coloum as they were thin to come and share the government of the Empire they would have met with some unpleasant rejoinders. There wuu this very prime roroUerution in the that the Mother Country was then I providing for the whole efnce of the Empire.

and the inhabitants of the Dominions then much more sparse and poorer than they are now were extremely rthietant to share the white mans burden. and feared that might be their destiny if they were called upon to to port. in the Go of the Empire. REonoaN1ZINO THE EXPIRE. AU that has changed.

Th have leaped into the arena of their own accord. 1 upy have ought under I the nil flag with a that has atuicet ur' pa ed that of our own sons in this war. But Ute I they have shod on our behalf must in its couseqwincc change the constitution of the Empire. I am not now talking about an ideal Uete of Commons and proportional representation a. dummy which I think.

our friend demolished with almost much care because it. is prsctiaaily impo sibks I 40 aot care bat form it. going to tale Our Constitution is after all. in the technical sense a mere ruin. There aeo so many breaches in the walls that there is ample opportunity for rebuilding when we find the architect.

I cannot doubt that when the arduous efforts of the peace ea are over on awful wk. far sin passing a dozen conferences of Yirxrna which wJl lie before the PlenipotentiArk of the Great Powers whenever they meet when that teak over there will appear higher peaks behind mountain summits. there will appear the almost more gicantic task of reorganizing the British Empire. We have not hitherto ken very elastic in our constitutional dealing hut we shall hare I almost hesitate to i pay whet I am going to say. because I am quoting words of my own we shall have to clean a good deal off our state before re begin to write the new organization of the Empire upon it.

God grunt that wisdom and power may be given to our utMezn In that. day whenever it may come that th patriotism of our outer Dominions will be shown as much in those bloodi 8 councils as it has been in the fields of the Dardanelles and Flanders. Cheers. One last word to express my pleasure as a Rhodes trustee to have heard the first of this tics of lectures. I hope.

though I can hardly oxpcct that. they will an be equal in merit and charm to that to which we have just listened. It is Mmething to feel that in the halls of Colversity College the gigantic figure of Cecil Rhodes is still prexent to help and inspire the Imperial tradition of which he was so great an apostle.

The Bisnor pf Sornnv RK presided ycFterdiy at thi opernn of the Southwark Diocesan Conference. Woman's status in the beech was the subject of a rei ort from the Women's Work ornmitteo. A Rtrons opinion was expressed that th present time ant presented a fayourahle opportunity of seem-mg an increased supply of educated women trained for service in the Church. CANON BROWNE in moving the adoption of the report said that if a woman turned to the Church for an opportunity of devoting her services they her to very narrow and suteervint ways such a mothers' meetinjrs. distribution of magazines visiting Tint was not the kind of scope which the talents of women rt-quircd.

rl A mischievous product of the women's movement was the claim of women to be advanced to the priesthood. Such a claim howler did not emanate I from the deaconrames or those strictly concerned with their ord T. The report was adopted and the conference adjourned. LOXDOX DIOCESAN FIY4XCE.

VIEWS ON THREE O'CLOCK CLOSING. Alter earlier shopping earlier banking. The new arrangement fixing 3 p.m. as the closing hour. to which.

as announced in our City notes yesterday the London banks have given their adherence. will probably come into force on and. after December 1. The arrangement does not apply to country banks which gener. ally speaking fix their hours I to local needs nor for the present will there be MY change in the Clearing nou.

hours. It WM. however stated lIuthoritatiwl yesterday that earlier hours at. the Clearing House are" likely to follow a matter of course when the new scheme is established. The finaldetails ofji 3 o'clock banking" are expected to be arranged this wk.

Among bank managers and their staffs Inqnirbs yesterday showed that the coming change is- greatly i appreciated. The general manager of one of the most important joist stock banks said that everybody had fallen in very readily with the scheme as being likely to make working conditions more comfortable. toatly with fewer clerks and if anythirg. more business extra working hours for the stalls I' the doors had been dl to the public he been common in most of the btg bunks. One effect is likely to be an eneouragement to bank customers to observe the golden.

but. generally forgotten rule pay in year drafts before the last hour of the day. When the earlier closing scheme was first mooted in the spring It. had a good effect in this direction in the case of one bank at. all event Inquiry In one case revealed th fact that a director who hail charge of his liras banking business had.

when he heard that there was a possibility of the banks clotting at 3 o'clock adopted the plan of con' ting the basking work going to lunch. Onepossible result of fl banking is that the Stock Exchange which now closes at. p.m. may open half an hour earlier in the morning. HELP FOR COAST TOWNS.

CLAIMS OF TILE FISHING COMMUNITY. It is understood that immediate steps are to be taken to relieve the distress among lodging- house keepers and small tradesmen at watering" places and small fishing towns and villages on the east and south st coasts. The Government Committee on the Prevention and of Civil Distress has approved a scheme for UM alleviation of exceptional ewe of distress at. those places which it is felt have a spedal claim for assistance from the tends generousty provided by the Canadian Government. A deputation representing north- a and eat lit towns which recently waited on the committee was Informed that the case was recognized as one deserving of rsredlatrn relief.

and it WM agreed that a conference to which representatives of the Sorrth- district should also be invited should hi held to le on au equitable apportionment of the und. It was expressly urged that the claims of fishing towns arid villages which had suffered as a result of the taking over by the Government of trawlers and fishing hoists should not be overlooked. it. is pointed out that the scheme is not one for the assistance of the rating authorities. Up to the present all the.

places affected have isiin able to provide the means of subsistence by grants from the National Relief Fund or from special local funds. No however has hitherto been made to assist the lodging-house keepers and small traders to pay their rents and it is this the new scheme is specially designed too do.
