5—Watching the Ants
RICHARD MORSE
Ever since the days of Solomon the ways of the ant have been watched with interest and admiration, yet even now there is always some new wonder which can be discovered by the careful observer. As Darwin said, ' the brain of an ant is one of the most marvellous atoms of matter in the world, perhaps more so than the brain of a man'.
This afternoon Mr. Richard Morse will explain some of the habits of these remarkable insects, and will describe how they can be simply observed by anyone in field, garden, or classroom. If a few enlarged drawings of the insects, as well as some living specimens, can be provided in advance by the teacher, they will add much to the interest of the talk.

' Running the Ship-Tramps'
LESLIE RUNCIMAN
Last week Lord Essendon told listeners about the running of liners, and today Mr. Leslie Runciman is to tell them about the running of tramps. The main purpose of a tramp is to be chartered to merchants who wish to export large quantities of raw materials cheaply to a special port or ports. Though tramps are slower and less elaborately equipped than liners, the main difference between them is in the job they do ; and in his talk Mr. Runciman, a Director of the Walter Runciman Line, the Moor Line, and the Anchor Line, is to describe the typical chartering of a tramp-a haggling between brokers as to the rate of freight-an agreement in the first place by word of mouth and then embodied in a Charter Party. He will describe how the old crew is paid off and a new one signed on ; how the ship is stored, bunkered, and loaded; how she sails, reaches the port of destination, and is discharged. And, finally, what the tramp owners get out of it all which, in face of economic difficulties, is precious little.
