Hashford, i, superintendent • ; the

 London. The value of the prize is 100/. The Cartwright 

 prize, consisting of the Cartwright medal and 70/., has 

 been awarded to Mr. H. P. Pickerill, professor of dentistry 

 and director of the denial scluKil at ilv- I'niversity of 

 Otago, New Zealand, for his essay on " The Prevention 

 of Dental Caries." The Jacksonian prize has been 

 awarded to Mr. K. Macfarlane Walker, of St. Bartholo- 

 mew's Hospital, for his essay on " Tuberculous Disease of 

 the Urinary Bladder and Male Genital Organs." 



All the necessary arrangements have now been made by 

 the General Post Office and the postal authorities abroad 

 for a prolonged series of long-distance tests over the new 

 submarine telephone cable which, as already stated in 

 these columns, has been laid between Dover and Cap 

 Grisnez. The tests will take place between various pro-. 

 vincial towns in England and towns in Holland, Germany, 

 and Switzerland, and it is expected that our foreign tele- 

 phone service will be very greatly extended in conse- 

 quence. No public service, however, will be offered until 

 90 per cent, of the test calls have proved successful. 

 When this fact has been ascertained, there is no reason 

 why, under ordinary conditions, speech over the line should 

 not be quite distinct. There must, however, always be 

 the chance that gales and blizzards may cau- —•.rrup- 

 tions on the land lines, as these in most c:- II 



carried overhead.
