The scoring was slow, especially in the case of Titchmarsh, who took an hour and'a-half to mike 37, and Wilson, who made nothing in 17 minutes. Titchmarsh was "•ironically applauded every time he blocked a bail, but would not change his ; tactics. England's 112 took .110 minutes to make.

LONGITUDE BY WIRELESS. ./:-;— ';....' ■«»"". .. ". ■ /-'- NEW ZEALAND EXPERIMENT. [BY. TELEOB.IPH. —PHES3 ASSOCIATION.] ; WELLINGTON, Monday.' The determination of longitudes by wireless was dealt with in a paper prepared by Dr. C. E. Adams, Government astronomer in New Zealand,' before the physics section of the Australasian Science Congress. Proposals, he said, had been made-by General Feri'ie, of Paris, for. a comprehensive scheme of longitude deter mination by wireless of three points in the northern hemisphere (Algiers-, Shanghai and San Francisco), and,of one point in 'the southern hemisphere (Wellington), Preliminary experiments at Wellington proved that the wireless time signals sent by the French station at Bordeaux were received as observatory signals and reached Wellington at about 7.30 a.m. (New Zealand time}, Experiments .in March, April, and May last gave the preliminary value of longitude of lib. 39m. 4.25., while the adopted value was lib. 39m 4.275. The adopted value was determined by observations made over a submarine cable. ■ To carry out a complete scheme it was essential to have all observatories similarly equipped with suitable telescopes, clocks, : and wireless apparatus. A similar experiment, carried out last December, showed < that signals were satisfactorily received '. every day while the corresponding Morse messages were not always received. i
