Mrs. Grant has travelled much in the wilds of North Africa, and learned a good deal about the customs of its little-known inhabitants, but her talk today will cover many other parts of the world.

-[T is hard nowadays to realize that not so very long ago the sea route to India lay round the Cape of Good Hope, and the Far East was even farther from Europe than seems possible now. The story of how the isthmus that separates the Mediterranean from the .Red Sea was cut through, amidst the aspirations, manoeuvres, and intrigues of statesmen, financiers, and engineers, is one of the great episodes of the nineteenth century in polities, . engineering and finance.

Professor of Chemistry to the Royal Institution. and Director of the Davy-Faraday Research Laboratory) but a lecturer whose powers of interesting listeners with little technical knowledge have been amply proved by the extraordinary success' of his lectures to children at the Royal Society.
