There were four men in the chapter whorr he thoroughly liked and with whom he would have been glad to room, but they all had made their ar rangements by the time he spoke to them; so he was forced to accept Paul Vinton’s invitation to roon with him.

Vinton was a cheerful youth with too much mone) and not enough sense. He wanted desperately tc be thought a good fellow, a “regular guy,” and he was willing to buy popularity if necessary by stand ing treat to any one every chance he got. He was known all over the campus as a “prize sucker.”

He bored Hugh excessively by his confidences anc almost offensive generosity. He always had a sup' ply of Scotch whisky on hand, and he offered it tc him so constantly that Hugh drank too much be cause it was easier and pleasanter to drink than tc refuse.

Tucker had graduated, and the new president Leonard Gates, was an altogether different sort o man. There had been a fight in the fraternity ovei his election. The “regular guys” opposed him anc offered one of their own number as a candidate. Gates, however, was prominent in campus activities and had his own following in the house; as a result he was elected by a slight margin.

228 sufficiently interested in his studies to like them for their own sake.

A change had come over the campus. It was in¬ explicable but highly significant. There had been evidences of it the year before, but now it became so evident that even some of the members of the faculty were aware of it. Intolerance seemed to be dying, and the word “wet” was heard less often. The undergraduates were forsaking their old gods. The wave of materialism was swept back by an inrushing tide of idealism. Students suddenly ceased to concentrate in economics and filled the English and philosophy classes to overflowing.

No one was able really to explain the causes for the change, but it was there and welcome. The “Sanford Literary Magazine,” which had been slowly perishing for several years, became almost as popular as the “Cap and Bells,” the comic maga¬ zine, which coined money by publishing risque jokes and pictures of slightly dressed women. A poetry magazine daringly made its appearance on the campus and, to the surprise of its editors, was re¬ ceived so cordially that they were able to pay the printer’s bill.

It became the fashion to read. Instructors in English were continually being asked what the best new books were or if such and such a book was all that it was “cracked up to be.” If the instructor

 mouth and speaking we must understand the manifestation of God’s will, for we, too, manifest our intimate thoughts by means of our lips and through speech. By his food and drink—our agreement with the will of God, for by means of the sense of taste we satisfy the necessary demands of our being. By smelling—the acceptance of our thoughts as directed toward God, and of our hearty disposition, for by means of the sense of smell do we become aware of perfume. By his face we must understand his manifestation in his works, for our faces also manifest us. By his hands—his active force, for we, too, do everything useful and, especially, everything costly with our own hands. By his right hand—his succour in just works, for we, too, in performing more noble and important deeds, such as demand a greater force, most generally make use of the right hand. By his touch—an exact knowledge and investigation of the smallest and the hidden, because those who are touched by us cannot conceal anything upon their bodies. By his feet and walking—his coming and appearance, in order to aid the needy, or defend them against enemies, or to do some other act, even as we walk with our feet to some destination. By his oath—the inalterableness of his counsel, for between us, too, mutual agreements are confirmed by an oath. By his anger and fury—his loathing and hatred of evil, for we, too, become angry and hate what is contrary to our will. By his forgetfulness, sleep, and dreaming—his slowness in wreaking vengeance on his enemies, and his delaying his succour until the proper time.” (pp. 99 and 100.)

These explanations and refutations of the anthropomorphists, independently of the arbitrariness and unintelligibility of the explanations (as, for example, why by food and drink is to be understood our agreement with the will of God), these explanations descend lower and lower into the sphere of petty, often stupid, dialectics, and farther

CHAPTER XXI
FOR the first term Hugh slid comfortably down a well oiled groove of routine. He went to the movies regularly, wrote as reg¬ ularly to Cynthia and thought about her even more, read enormous quantities of poetry, “bulled” with his friends, attended all the athletic contests, played cards occasionally, and received his daily liquor from Vinton. He no longer protested when Vinton offered him a drink; he accepted it as a matter of course, and he had almost completely forgotten that “smoking was n’t good for a runner.” He had just about decided that he was n’t a runner, anyway.

One evening in early spring he met George Winsor as he was crossing the campus.

“Hello, George. Where are you going?”

“Over to Ted Allen’s room. Big poker party to¬ night. Don’t you want to sit in?”

“You told me last week that you had sworn off poker. How come you ’re playing again so soon?” Hugh strolled lazily along with Winsor.

“Not poker, Hugh—craps. I’ve sworn off craps for good, and maybe I ’ll swear off poker after to¬ night. I’m nearly a hundred berries to the good Rh

Rh his study, and the boys soon had it cleared for ac¬ tion. Allen tossed the cards upon the table, pro¬ duced several ash-trays, and then carefully locked the door.

“Keep an ear open for Mac,” he admonished his friends. “He ’s warned me twice now.” “Mac” svas the night-watchman, and he had a way of drop¬ ping in unexpectedly on gambling parties. “Here ire the chips. You count ’em out, George. Two3it limit.”

The boys drew up chairs to the table, lighted
 * igarettes or pipes, and began the game. Hugh had

Deen right; the “two-bit limit” was soon lifted, ind Allen urged his guests to go as far as they iked.

There were ugly rumors about Allen around the
 * ampus. He was good looking, belonged to a fra:ernity in high standing, wore excellent clothes, and

lid fairly well in his studies; but the rumors per¬ sisted. There were students who insisted that he lad n’t the conscience of a snake, and a good many of them hinted that no honest man ever had such ronsistently good luck at cards and dice.

The other boys soon got heated and talkative, Out Allen said little besides announcing his bids, fiis blue eyes remained coldly expressionless whether he won or lost the hand; his crisp, curly brown hair remained neatly combed and untouched by a nervous land; his lips parted occasionally in a quiet smile:

Rh “I’m sitting pretty,” Allen remarked casually, picking up the five cards that he had laid down before he dealt.

The betting began, Hugh nervous, openly excited, Mandel stonily calm, Allen completely at ease. At irst the bets were for a dollar, but they gradually rose to five. Mandel threw down his cards.

“Fight it out,” he said morosely. “I’ve thrown iway twenty-five bucks, and I ’ll be damned if I’m
 * oing to throw away any more to see your fourlushes.”

Allen lifted a pile of chips and let them fall ightly, clicking a rapid staccato. “It ’ll cost you en dollars to see my hand, Hugh,” he said quietly.

“It ’ll cost you twenty if you want to see mine,” Hlugh responded, tossing the equivalent to thirty lollars into the pot. He watched Allen eagerly, nit Allen’s face remained quite impassive as he aised Hugh another ten.

The four boys who were n’t playing leaned for¬ ward, pipes or cigarettes in their mouths, their tomachs pressed against the table, their eyes narrowed and excited. The air was a stench of stale moke; the silence between bets was electric.

The betting continued, Hugh sure that Allen was luffing, but Allen never failed to raise him ten dollars on every bet. Finally Hugh had a hundred lollars in the pot and dared not risk more on his hand.

is one of the Breaches Mankind make in their ordinary Practice, not upon the Laws of Decency only, but upon the Law of Nature; for the Separation is evidently directed by the Law of Nature; 'tis dictated from the first Principles of that Knowledge which the most Ignorant are furnished with of themselves.

Women indeed ought to be the Conservators of this Law; and as they seem to have a kind of absolute Power over themselves during their ordinary Separations, they seem to be the most chargeable with the Breach of it; because they are not altogether so Passive at this time as at another.

there is a Breach of Modesty here, 'tis on her Side chiefly, and therefore the Reproof is to her, and ought to be so taken; for it is as notorious a Charge upon her, as that of admitting a Man, upon Promise of Matrimony, before it was formed into a Marriage; which indeed, tho' the aggressing was chargeable upon the Man, yet the yielding or consenting which was wholly upon the Woman's Side, and in her Power, plainly makes her chargeable with the Offence, makes it all her own Act and Deed; so it is here; and therefore it is true, that the Crime is her's, and the Reproof is upon her, and upon her only.

 The judgment on the claim for property or its value shall be included as part of the judgment for the criminal case.

Even though any case has already been instituted criminally, it does not preclude the right of the injured person to institute it civilly also.

In adjudicating upon the civil case, the court is required to adhere to the facts shown the judgment for the criminal case.

The judgment for the civil case must be in accordance with the legal provisions dealing with civil liabilities of persons, without having to consider whether or not the accused is adjudged to have committed the offence.

As regards the value of property ordered to be paid by the accused to the injured person, the court shall designate it in accordance with the true value. As for the amount of compensation which the injured person will receive, the court shall designate it in accordance with the injury, but it must not exceed that which is applied for.

When a court adjudges that property be returned but its owner is not yet known, the authority taking care of it shall return it to its owner after the owner is known.

He proceeds in the same dry manner to inform us we are invited to call at our earliest convenience upon our doubles, and upon the Professor who is to investigate our case.

 In the event that the owner is known, the court shall give a judgment ordering the official taking care of the thing to return it to the owner.

When a dispute arises, the person claiming to be the true owner of the property shall institute his claim before the court having the power to address it.

Even though no civil case is instituted, the court may order an exhibited item of property to be returned to its owner when it adjudicates upon the criminal case.

In the event that the court orders the return of property or payment of its value to the injured person according to section 43 or 44, the injured person shall be deemed to be a judgment creditor.

If no criminal case is instituted, the right of the injured person to institute a civil case on account of the offence shall be extinguished by the same period of time as the limitation prescribed by the Penal Code for institution of a criminal case, even though it would be instituted by a minor or insane person according to section 183 of the Civil and Commercial Code or would be instituted separately from the criminal case.

position on a display decide in the cockpit, airspeed indicator, a laser altimeter, an autopilot, and a flight recorder.

Metra Electrical Measuring Instruments Company was reported to be manufacturing electronic countermeasure equipment designated "Wobler." The equipment employs a sweep method which constantly changes frequency and can be operated via remote control from the pilot's compartment.

The Czechoslovaks have developed and deployed the only operational ground-based ELINT time-of-arrival system in use in the world. It has been in use at least 5 years. From three or more ground sites, quite accurate locations of U.S. or West German radars can be obtained if coincident intercept can be obtained. The advanced ground sites are connected with a direction-finding processing center by video link operating at 8 gigahertz. Designed by the Military-Technical Directorate and operated by the military exclusively, the system has only fairly recently received greater Warsaw Pact recognition. It has been deployed along the Czech-German border and represents a rather considerable investment and technical accomplishment in the passive electronic countermeasure ELINT field.

The Czechoslovaks have displayed originality and high capabilities for designing digital computers, but the completion of prototypes and initiation of production in industry have been too slow to provide computers competitive with foreign models. Heavy dependence on foreign systems is still necessary to meet many normal domestic needs. Since the early 1960's, important work has been underway in the military sector, for example, in modern command and control procedures, yet no field military automatic data processing systems are known. The Ministry of National Defense has at least two research centers concerned with the development of computers, applications techniques, and specific problems of logistics, training, and related military activities.

The main administrative authority for Czechoslovak computer activity is probably the Ministry of Industry. The Research Institute of Mathematical Machines (VUMS), Prague, is the primary design facility and the most important contributor to Czechoslovak computer research and development. It has developed excellent peripheral equipment; its tape readers are the best in the Warsaw Pact countries; its line printers are in domestic use and exported to the U.S.S.R.; and punchcard equipment is used in various army installations for control of spare parts and similar logistic applications. Basic research is conducted also by the CSAV's Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Prague.

Products of the VUMS have included a variety of special-purpose, data-processing devices and a large, high-precision analog computer called ANALOGON, but the most important results have been the small general-purpose MEDA analog computers, the small general-purpose digital computers SAPO, EPOS-1, EPOS-2, ZPA-600, and its smaller version ZPA-200, the MNP-10, and the DP-100, a small punchcard computer. The most recent Czechoslovak digital computer, the third-generation ZPA-6000/30, is claimed to approximate the IBM 360/30. Other analog computer developments have been the AP-3M and the AP-5. Czechoslovakia also has maintained a strong capability to develop input/output equipment for digital and analog machines.

5. Medical sciences (S)

The high quality of research in the medical sciences can be readily discerned. The Czechoslovaks maintain a superior level of competence, surpassing that of the other East European countries in most fields and qualitatively equal to that of the U.S.S.R. in microbiology and pharmacology. Despite the lack of well equipped laboratories and limited research funds, results achieved are remarkable. Productivity has been inhibited to some extent by the Soviet intervention in 1968, and since that time prominent scientists have been deprived of key positions as institute heads and leaders of research. Major contributions are being made in microbiology, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and radiology.

Microbiological science is at a very high level. Research utilizes biochemical, biophysical, organic and physical chemical, morphological, and mathematical approaches. Major work is done at the Institute of Microbiology, Academy of Sciences, Prague. Tasks include study of cellular formation and reproduction, controlled proliferation of microbial populations, and genetic systems in life processes and in regulation of physiological states of the cell. Some of the best efforts are in the field of continuous fermentation. Fundamental studies have been contributed to the production of single cell protein by fermentation of petroleum hydrocarbons. Research in the immunology of infectious diseases is especially productive. Czechoslovakia's computerized epidemic-diseases surveillance system is recognized as one of the best in the world and has served as a pattern for adaptation by other countries. Research workers have succeeded in producing germ-free animals. Work on staphylococci and related infections is on a par with that done in Western countries, including the United States.

An eminent surgeon of France relates two cases, in which the inhalation of chloroform proved nearly fatal: he however succeeded in reviving his patients, after all ordinary means had failed, by placing his mouth upon theirs, and forcibly insufflating the lungs by rapid aspirations and expirations. A medical practitioner in Paris states that in two instances of approaching dissolution by the inhalation of chloroform, he recalled life by thrusting two fingers deep into the throat, down to the larynx and œsophagus; a sudden movement of expiration followed, and recovery took place.

A French savant, M. Fiqueau, has just discovered a method of measuring the speed with which light travels, without any resort to the regions of astronomy. A revolving disc, with teeth (like a circular saw) is so adjusted that, knowing the number of revolutions in a second, he knows the fraction of a second which any one of the triangular spaces at the circumference of the disc occupies in passing a certain point. Two glasses are fixed opposite each other, so that the focus of the one (having a mirror) reflects a ray of light, starting from the focus of the other back to that focus again. A disc is provided to revolve at this point; and the eye observing whether the ray appears, or is eclipsed, knows whether it has encountered a tooth of the disc, or one of the vacant spaces between the teeth; and thus elements are found for a calculation which shows the speed of light to be very nearly the same as that arrived at by the astronomical calculation of Bradley or Roemer.

At a recent meeting of this body, M. Desprets read a description of an Electrical apparatus, by means of which he obtains a heat of greater density than was ever before obtained, and that he is able to fuse substances which have hitherto resisted the action of every kind of fire.—M. Grange read a paper on that terrible disease in the Swiss valleys, named the Goitre. He stated that the cause of it was magnesia in the waters, and that it could be cured by minute doses of iodine salts. In one year, he stated, the disease would be cured.—M. Dussan read a paper on the application of manures to seeds before they were sown or planted, instead of manuring the soil. He stated that the experiment had been tried by himself with success.

A lecture was recently delivered in Paris upon this subject, when the lecturer took the following grounds, and astonished his audience by the profundity of his reasoning. He said, “the more imponderable the mass, the greater the power: earth is less powerful than water—water less powerful than air—air less powerful than electricity—and electricity less powerful than the soul. If we attempt to walk on a deep mass of snow, we sink; if we spread a large board over it, we can walk safely. So with air: if we make an air-ship hundreds or thousands of feet long, the sustaining power of the air may possibly act in its favor; and gas constantly generated in this machine, and steam or electricity being the motive power, it may rush round the world like a huge common carrier of heaven. What we need to redeem society, is the philosophy of analogy sternly carried into every department of life—inward and outward—spiritual and practical—in thought, industry, intercourse, faith and action.”

Such are some views delivered in a lecture in that city, sometimes called the centre of the “Civilized World.” There is not a Yankee boy but could overturn all the arguments. undefined

We refer our readers to the advertisement of Jesse Leavens in another column. This machine is all that the patentee states, and we understand has given satisfaction to all who have it in use.

Some of the English papers say that the recent improvements in machinery justify the belief that garments will soon be finished in the loom of any size, shape or pattern that may be required.

[This can be done now, but at an expense far beyond what any person would pay for the same. We have seen shirts without seams, woven with buttons and button holes, as finely finished as if by the needle, the buttons were woven too. We have seen the portraits of Gen. Taylor woven on satin.

Dr. Boardman, now residing in this city, who, for twenty-five years had an impediment in his speech, made the discovery, that by placing his organs in certain positions, he could speak freely like other me. This discovery he has reduced to a science, and teaches the art to those who are as unfortunate as he was. He has cured a great number, and by strict attention to the rules he lays down, it is said that any person afflicted with stammering will be able to cure themselves.

This is the invention of Mr. James Taylor of Macon, Georgia, and patented last Fall. it is a most excellent invention, as the following description of the annexed engravings will fully show. Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section. Figure 2 is an end view, and figure 3 is a perspective view of the fastening hook, and screw nut, E, detached; and H is a driver to operate the nut. A is the post, D, is a section of the rail attached. The tennonstenons [sic] at the ends the rails, are not in length and depth of the mortises in the posts; but in thickness, the tennonstenons [sic] accurately fit the width of the mortises, C is an iron pin inserted in the mortise of the post; G is hook inserted in the end of the rail, and it has a screw on its inner end. There is a small mortise cut on the side of the rail into which is inserted the nut E, which is fixed around the screw of the fastening hook, G. Each rail is thus arranged and constructed. F is a washer on the inside of the nut mortise and the screw hook rod passes through it. The tennonstenons [sic] on the ends of the rails, have sufficient vertical play in the mortises of the posts, to allow the fastening hooks to pass over the pins (represented by C), and by inserting the turner, H, into the notches of the nut, E, and by turning it round, the rail is drawn forward, tight up to the post. The mortises on the sides of the rails, may have slides to close them up, to prevent any thing getting into the interior.

There is one thing absolutely required to form a good bedstead, that is the perfect and close fit of the rails to the posts; this bedstead fastening has this quality for a certainty.—There are bedsteads sold in this city in great quantities, with screws don't he ends of round in thread openings of the posts. These are a bad kind of bedsteads, practically we don't like them, they are forever going wrong. IIt [sic] would be better to make all bedsteads with square rails, and these should be notched to receive slats of painted hard wood, which are far better than bed ropes.

Communications (p. p.) addressed to the inventor, at Macon, Georgia, will meet with prompt attention.

We stated last week that we would give some more information about Prof. Gesner's new Light, the patent claim of which was in the list of our last number. The information which we now present on the subject is gathered from an article addressed to the Academy of Natural Sciences, of which Prof. Gesner is a member.

During the past year, the attention of the Earl of Dundonald, formerly the celebrated Lord Cochran, was directed to the improvement of some sugar and coffee estates in the West Indies, and employed Dr. Gesner, Professor of Chemistry and Geology, to make experiments with the celebrated asphaltum of the Pitch Lake of Trinidad. In conducting the experiments, Dr. Gesner discovered that by dry distillation, the asphaltum, like coal or rosin, was capable of yielding large quantities of carburetted and carburetted bicarburetted hydrogen gasesgasses [sic], now universally employed for the supply of light. But from its peculiar nature, there was a difficulty in applying the material to that purpose by any known process of manufacture.

The Dr. Says, in the article referred to, “It is remarkable that so rich a hydro-carbon as asphaltum should have been so long overlooked, in references to its capabilities for affording light. It has been tried for fuel, pavements, and for other purposes, both in Europe and the United States, but without success. For what purpose nature had formed such vast quantities of bituminous matter, which still continue to flow from the earth, was a problem not readily solved, until this discovery, which brings it into operation for illuminating purposes, to which it is admirably adapted.

In the analysis given by the chemists of Europe, of the bitumen of Trinidad, there is great diversity. Some have stated that it contains 20 and even 30 per cent of silex, when in fact it seldom contains 10 per cent of silica. The specimens submitted to their investigations must have been taken from the beach forming the great pitch lagoon of the Island, where the sand of the shore is frequently mixed with the bitumen.”

By his experiments he has discovered that the bitumen of Trinidad yields 65.5 of volatile matter, and 36.57 of carbon, while the best cannel coal yields only 44.00 of volatile matter, and 52.60 of carbon—a great difference indeed. Coal also contains sulphur and nitrogen, while the asphaltum is perfectly free from these deleterious ingredients, and it is therefore far better adapted for illuminating purposes.

When this bitumen is melted it separates itself form its earthy matter, and when it cools it is lusterous, and partakes of the nature of oil and wax, from which circumstance the Dr. calls it “Kerosene.” But it does not require this preparation to make gas. As it has no sulphur in its composition, it will not corrode the metals in its manufacture, nor will it give out any of those noxious vapors so well known to us Yorkers as connected with coal gas. It gives off its gas in one-fourth less time than coal, and yields double the quantity, weight for weight.

He says:—

“According to the lowest estimate, the inhabitants of the city of New York would save $74,000 a year, in the quantity of gas they now consume, by using bitumen instead of coal for gas, in the cost of material alone. This saving would be independent of the cost required to manufacture coal gas, as compared with that derived from kerosene, or bitumen, and the light would be far superior to that now supplied.

The cost of the material (coal) that now supplies gas for New York, must be estimated at $1 for every 1000 cubic feet of gas. The bitumen may be abundantly supplied for $5 per ton. The cost of bitumen, therefore, to supply 1000 cubic feet of gas, would be only $0,38. At a moderate calculation, by substituting bitumen for coal, the gas may be supplied to the consumer at less than one half of its present cost, and the manufacturer still make a profit. By using bitumen and the patent retort, the actual cost of manufacture of 1000 cubic feet of gas need not exceed five cents.

The inquiry at once presents itself, what are the resources of bitumen or asphaltum. This inquiry will be perfectly satisfied by referring to an able work written by R. C. Taylor, Esq. The lake of bitumen of Trinidad is altogether inexhaustible; or, as stated by that author, “might furnish abundant supplies for the whole world.” Besides the abundance of this mineral along the whole coast of South American, Mexico and Texas, it abounds in the Island of Cuba, where a single stratum, six miles from Havana, is no less than 144 feet in perpendicular thickness.

Treating of the bitumen of Barbados, Mr. Taylor says: “It could be employed in the production of gas, of which it would furnish a large quantity of a very rich quality, even exceeding that of Cannel coal.” “The best for that purpose hitherto known.” But no discovery had been made by which this material could be applied to the general purposes of illumination, until the present. The above author states that “We know not if any practicable employment of a mineral substance here so astonishingly abundant, has yet been engaged, or undertaken. It was surely not placed there in vain.” The discovery and improvement now introduced, call into operation this hitherto worthless substance.”

This is certainly a valuable discovery induced, and Prof. Gesner has been exhibiting the has in this city, as made from his newly invented retort, and it has been highly admired. It is also well adapted for the manufacture of the gas on a small scale, and this rendered it of very great importance to the introduction of gas lighting into villages. undefined The best way of advertising an invention is to publish an engraving of it in the Scientific American.

CHINA The cyber threat from China emanates principally from the Ministry of State Security and the PLA. These organisations are almost certainly responsible for ***, and their cyber activity is closely correlated with the Chinese government's economic and military development goals.

APT10 is one of the best-known Chinese hacking groups, and has carried out numerous malicious cyber campaigns on behalf of the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS). *** it has targeted government, defence, mining, information technology, *** with victims identified worldwide, including in Europe, Asia, and the United States ***. ***.

In 2016, *** it was detected that there had been a large-scale compromise of a number of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) (companies which provide IT and network support, including hosting emails). The attack, widely known as 'Cloud Hopper', facilitated economic and strategic espionage.

The UK Government publicly attributed the Cloud Hopper MSP campaign to APT10 in December 2018, linking the group explicitly to the MSS. This was the first time that HMG had publicly named elements of the Chinese government as being responsible for a cyber campaign.

China's sophisticated cyber capabilities could, in theory, be employed to conduct a cyber attack against UK infrastructure. ***. In the words of NCSC:

"on cyber attacks that [the Chinese] undertake, ***.

*** they use their intelligence capabilities very much for ***. They do have offensive cyber capabilities. *** exercising those cyber capabilities *** … around the blurring of some of their capabilities … I think absolutely we're alive to them using cyber as a means to enable HUMINT and the other way round and so work very closely together to sort of make sure that ***."

EEE. We welcome the Government's attribution of attacks to the Chinese hacking group APT10. Public condemnation of such groups explicitly linked to the Chinese government is an essential tool in tackling the increasing cyber threat from China. The Government should continue to work with allies to highlight and condemn hostile Chinese government activity.

 has an opportunity," except by presuming that the Malay author of the proverb alludes to the female tiger!

 * 40. Tidak hujan lagi bichak inikan pula hujan.

"Muddy enough when there is no rain, but now it is raining." Said of a thing difficult to perform at any time without the addition of an aggravating circumstance.

 * 41. Ta' tumboh ta' melata
 * Ta' sunggoh orang ta' kata.

"A plant must sprout before it climbs; if it were not true people would not say it." "No smoke without fire."

 * 42. Tiada bahan batu di galas.

"For want of a load a stone is carried on the back." To give one's self needless trouble.

 * 43. Tolak tangga ber-âyun kaki.

"Kick away the ladder and the legs are left swinging." To be in an unpleasant position in consequence of a blunder of one's own.

Sometimes another line is added.

 * Pelok tuboh mengâjar diri.

"Then you fold your arms and think what a fool you're been" (lit, to hug the body and lecture one's self).

This phrase is common in Malay pantun, e. g. the following allusion to the bad management of a Malay lover who abandoned a dark beauty for a fair one and got neither;

 * "Itam lepas puteh ta' dapat.
 * Tolak tangga ber-âyun kaki.”

Klinkert has this proverb in his collection but gives it as "Tolak-kan tangga kaki berayun."

 * 44. Ta sunggoh salurang me-laut balik iya ka tepi juga.

"The salurang fish does not really go out to sea, it always returns to the bank."

A hit at stay-at-home people who never leave their own villages.

The salurang is a small fresh-water fish, very common in the Perak river.

 imprison, or search a private place for a person or article, a criminal warrant must be issued.

A person detained or imprisoned by virtue of a court warrant can only be released when there is a warrant of release from a court.

The following officials and courts have the power to issue criminal warrants within their jurisdiction:

superior administrative or police officials, for warrants of arrest of alleged offenders who are not subject to the power of a court;

courts, for warrants of arrest of alleged offenders or accused who are subject to the power of a court;

courts or superior administrative or police officials, for warrants of search;

courts, for warrants of detention, imprisonment, or release.

An official or court that has the power to issue a warrant of arrest, warrant of search, or warrant of detention may issue such warrant proprio motu or upon a request.

In the event that there is a request, the official or court issuing the warrant must perform prior scrutiny to ensure that there is an appropriate reason for issuance thereof.

 : 45. Ta' ampang peluru di lalang.

A bullet is not stopped by the lalang grass. The weak can oppose but the feeblest barriers to the attacks of the powerful.

 * 46. Tiada ter-kajang batu di pulau.

"The rocks on an island are not to be covered over with kajang awnings." There must be a limit to benevolence; one man cannot feed a province. Kajang, a kind of mat or screen made of palm-leaves sewn together, often used as an awning or tarpaulin.

 * 47. Ta'kan srêk luka makan ditajak, esok ka bindang juga kita.

A cut with a tajak is not so serious but that we are able to go to the fields again next day. The tajak is an instrument with which the first process in padi cultivation, namely clearing the ground of the long grass and reeds which have grown up since the last crop was taken off, is performed. It consists of a heavy iron blade attached, at right angles nearly, to a wooden handle. Weight is necessary, as the grass is thick and strong and its roots are under water. A certain amount of dexterity is required, or the operator may cut his own feet. The proverb, which is common among Malay peasants in Perak, means something of this kind: "What is the use of being sulky because our Chief or Punghulu has punished or injured us? We have to till his fields for him all the same whether we like it or not."

 * Ter-klêbat-klêbat seperti lintah lapar.

"Waving about like a hungry lecch." A simile applied to Malay damsels who shew a want of maidenly propriety.

 * 48. Tamua hilang malu halôba dapat kabinasa-an.

"Covetousness begets loss of shame, avarice results in destruction."

Favre, quoting Hikayat Abdullah gives laba, not halôba, as the Malay word for covetousness, (Dict. vol. 2. p. 537.) I give the word as I have been accustomed to hear it pronounced, after having consulted several Malays of education.

Another Malay word, signifying "miserly, avaricious" is chikel. I have not found this in any dictionary, though Favre (quoting Klinkert) gives kikel.

 * 49. Tiada butih telinga, tandok di pélas-kan.

"As he can't twist the ear he pulls at the horn." "By hook or by crook."
