TO THE EDITOR OF TUB TIMES. Sir, Any one who walks down blbltlon road wfH sea on his right as ha passes th Central Technical College of tha Uty UclJds a new building, Dot yanixbeL vrhich oeoupies th whole of the command trig tdt at the coroar of th Imperial Instl lute road.

TU building haa been erected or th nse of th Royal School of Art Needlework, but a glance through tha window into its rpsdecs basement will show that portion of It at least is to devoted to other ptupoaes. For already in this base ment may be seen electrical machinery in rapid motion, and beyond th seats and platform of a Urge lector theatre. This new laboratory, boused ia a part of th Needlework School rented by the CUy Guilds lnstltnte, will, when completed, give to the Central Technical College an tip to dat emnpment for th teaching of electrical engineering which will bring It abreast of th times, and will one again plac th eolleg In th foremost position among the higher technical schools la this country. Twenty years ago, when the Boral Ccmraisaioneri of Technical Instruction first visited Germany, they reported that there was no lnstitmion la that country so wall quipped for th teaching of th practical applications of electrical science as th Ilcabury Technical College. Fifteen years latar, when soma cf their members made second visit of inquiry, they found nearly every poly technic or technical high school nrniabed with better appli ances, and with a mora complete system of Instruction, than any British school or University oould boast of.

Germany had not stood still. Sino then mnch has been written about the higher aeientlflo education in Germany, but on one point all writers are agreed, that England possesses no school of practical science which can be in any way compared, as regards its staff of professors, its completeness of equipment, th rang of subjects of instruction or the number of students in attendance, with the Technical High School of Char lottcnburg located not very far from th University in Berlin. Of recent years some progreg hes been made in this country in improving the facilities for higher scientific education but London, notwithstanding the reconstltu uon of its University, still falls behind other European capitals in the possession of adequate facilities for th training of students In the dinerent branches of applied science. The removal of the School of Art Needlework from its present qnarten north of the Central Technical OoIIeg will leave vacant a sit at the corner of Princ Consort road which, if used for the erection of laboratories supple lenting those of th City Guilds, would giv to London a School of Physical and Engineering' Science more commensurate with its needs than any it as yet possesses. But such an addition of buildings might do more, for It would serve to show how tha problem higher University education in London might be solved.

The most serious difficulty with which the newty constl tuted University has yet to grapple is how to concentrate the higher teaching in different branches of learning, and to focus the scattered and partially effectual efforts different and widely separated institutions. It is generally recognized that opportunities for instruction leading to pass decree should be provided in a larre Dumber of irjti lutions in aineroEt pans 01 me metro poiu.waeuier tney be schools of the University or not, but that the higher teaching work in connexion with certain gTOupa of studies which the University Is required to organize should be brought togvuier ana corraisat eo mat a stuaeni in any part of the Empire might know where to find the best opportunities for study and for original investigation in connexion wlta any ono cranca of learning, neat most strikes the inquirer wbo compares tbe svetem of hicher education In Germany with our own Is the extent to which tbe division of labour ana tho principle of cooperation are carried out abroad. Whilst in Engtsnd, ona professor, with his assistant and demon tra tor, is in cnarge of a wnoia aepartxnani ot science, in Uerraan schools each denartment is divided into sections. directed by eminent teachers wbo are acknowledged autnonties in tneir own particular subjects, in London, aUached to aeparat institutions, there are many well known professors of European reputation, wbos efforts, if combined, might make the faculty of learning in which they teach as attractive to students as the oortevponding faculty in any fore! 1 University. But, owing to tee conaitions tamer wnicn our nigner rcboou and colleges have grown up, each of these professors has to do practically the same round of work year after year, and whilst the teachers are thus prevented from applying themselves, as fully as they might, to the investigation 01 sp ciat prooiems 01 sciemina vaioe, the students lack tbe: opportunity of receiving tbe individual attention they neod, and of being brought under the inspiring Influence of such a band of thinkers and workers aa they would meet during their court of itndr at Berlin or at Zurich.

The problem of co ordinating the higher teaching In each faculty ia now encacinx the aerioua attention of th nnivenitr. but tj repress is imrjedal for want ef the necessary funds. Th proximity to tha University building of the Royal College of Science, with its new laboratories now in course of erection, and of tha Central Technical College marks South Kensington as th most fitting sit for London's future school of physical and engineering science. For th completion of sucha school, effortrkhould be at one mad to secure from th Commissioner of 1S51 the plot of ground bow occcpied by th brick and vden shads of tb School of Art Needlework. Tbe land la held in trust for sock obiectaaaar promote tb industrial and commercial Interests i je country, and it ia now generally recognised th provision of adequat facilities for instruction in th higher branches of applied adenosis onaoi our most organs neeos.

Tha Faculty of rrocarston, Glasgow, ha announced that they are in favour of th endowtoeni of a Scots law chair, with a salary of 300, a chair of Jurisprodeno aad international law, a chair of procedure and errid noe, and a chair of const! tstianal law and history, with a salary of 00.

Dr. David Murray say that encouragement should given to privat docenta, as in th German Universities. Any an willing to give a corns of lectors on ny subject in tb faculty of Lvw, should be encouraged to do so, on tb University Court's being satisfied that is ccntpetent, and abonld be entitled to retain th whole or grtavtar part of th far.

LivemooL but throuxh theBtrecuou exertions of th fire brigade tha damage was limited to about 10,000. Th la rea news room on the ground floor escaped with very littlo injury, a circumstance which afforded great relief to the mercantile men who use the room. The fire was discovered shortly after midnight, when the keeper of the building (John Lee) and his wife were awakened by a crafJi of glass. Lee, finding tbe place fall of smoke, at onoe telephoned from his room to the police. The crash of glass induced a belief that there had been an exDlosion.

thoush electrio and not caa light is used in the offices on the second floor at th Rum ford street front, where th fir seems to have originated. Thence it spread to other ofSces snd one of ine class rooms oi tne Liverpool Cicnooi oi ixnnirierce, and extended to the third floor ofiiee, while the roof was considerably damaged. The office of the chamber of commerce escaped. Meanwhile a strong force of the fire brieade with steam and ntluir firn enrinoa laboured hard. and by 2 30 a.m.

the fire was got under control, snd a utue later was extinguished, it is a curious tiling that the last fire in these buildings, 20 years ago, broke out in the same office.

Sir, A singnlarry interesting find of what see is to a stona ax maker's stock in trad has been lately discovered an th edge of a marshy bottom known aa Th Moss," near Portinscale. Tha Moss Is situated about 130 yards from the north west shore of Derwentwater, near Derwent hank, but, unless th level of th lake was originally much higher, it is not likely that tha Moss was submerged by tba waters of tha lak at that point, and it is ddubtful if there could Lav been backwater ther from tha Braithwaita and Ullock Plain.

Tha find consists of two sets of stona celts worked la bard grained fine volcanio lava, apparently front small boulders of the material on the spot, Tha workmen who were digging out the peat to form a fishpond for tha Bcighhouring owner discovered tha celts in two clnetars lSin. to SOin. below th peat, and laid on th brae clay or leek which at this place seems to hxv been laf either by cUcbl action or hare beea an early laks bottou Tha place was densely wooded at tha time tha celts were made, aa waa evident from th number of tba remains ef tha trees laid 3on tha ground. Tha thre first celts were thrown sway by th workmen as only "queer stones, but it ts hoped they will recovered. Th four of tha second find we laid air beaids tha trunk of a fallen oak, which was somewhat integrated.

It looks as if tha axe maker hid them underneath tha trunk as kind of easily remeraberable place of storing them.
