At Walhalla (Victoria) occurred a remarkable incident illustrating th© ways of electricity and the nerve of a man. Charles Fcrraino, a pumper in the Long Tunnel mine, took hold of a sagging •wire to put it in place, and caught the full force of the current it was carrying. "Eton't touch mc," he said, as a rush wa& mads to release him, and coolly instructed his mate to cut the current off. By a stroke of luck the ■wires fused, and Fermino's life was saved.

A Belgian training chip, L'Avenir, recently visited Melbourne. "Avenir" moans "future"; and the ship, a grand four-masted barque, means that Belgium is determined to have a navy. The ship, built in 1908 by public subscription, was presented to Government, which v&es it for training purposes, and pays some of the expenses by carrying cargo. Timber and pigiron were brought to Melbourne, and a wheat cargo will be taken back. There are between forty and fifty cadets aboard. After they are trained they will have to eiter the mercantile service, as the navy will not be ripe; but they will be qualified naval officers and ready for the fruition of the scheme. Germany, indeed, has intimated that it will be willing to take them into its navy straight away if Belgium agrees.

A sidelight on land values in Hawke's Bay was shown at a meeting of the District Land Board. An application was made to transfer 1977 acres at Ngatapa to & young settler twenty-K>no years of age, the consideration being set down at £19,772. The Board considered this was very high. Tho father ol tho transferee waited upon the Board and explained that he was placing hie son upon tho section to give him a start. "Do you not think the consideration is a bit high?" asked the Commissioner, "You can't get good land any cheaper,"_ he replied, "and it is no use buying rubbish. lam quite satisfied that a good margin can be made off the property at the figure."

The bullet is still cm- " - bedded in the boy's brain an inch and a half below the crown of the head, but otherwise ho has made a remarkable recovery, thanks to the skilled ireatmen't given. It was at first - thought that he would lose the eight of Y&is right eye, but this is now right. Also the deafness, from which he at first .suffered has disappeared, but the right " eido of hie face is still partially paralysed, although the medical authorities gay that this will probably disappear.

At the Auckland Magistrate's Court yesterday, Mr Kettle, S.M., granted a separatioh order , against Herbert Dixon, : ,of Whangarei, on his wife's application, gare the wife custody of the children, and ordered Dixon to pay 20s a week maintenance, and find one surety of £40, or two of £25 each, -within a week. The wife stated that she had taken steps to have her husband arrested, because she had reason to believe he was about to run away to Sydney with her younger sister. She saw letters written by defendant to her younger sister, couched in terms of endearment, which caused the Magistrate to remark that he had behaved in a. most blackguardly way tc , his wife. In an interview with a Thames "Star" reporter, Dr. Valintine, Chief Health Omcer of New Zealand, remarked: "You remember the talk of the celebrated Kua —how he had a peculiar cult and following of his own. Well, he has become co impressed with the value of vaccination that he has become a eplendid ally of the Department, and insisted as a means of protection against the disease that all his followers should be vaccinated. This i has helped the Department consider- ! ably, and I am pleased to say that many leading Maoris have used their I influence on behalf of sanitation and prevention of the spread of infectious dbeasos."

It is intended 'to store a number of the existing exhibits, , and to devote the greater part of the museum to relics of \Vaterloo and the Duke of Wellington, in which; the museum is rich, it possesses," for example, Wellington's sword "worn by him at Waterloo, and presented to the museum in 1837; also his ribbon of the Order of the Garter; and the camp bedstead I which is supposed to have been used by I the Iron Duke during the Waterloo campaign. Bluchers saddle, which the Prussian general used at Waterloo, is another interesting relic, and there are a number of muskets, pistols, ball shot, and parts of soldiers' uniforms found on the battlefield. , THE EGG-EATING SNAKE. Writing in the December "National Review," Miss Black-Hawkins, who has a'strange fancy for keeping snakes as pets, describes the peculiar method of eating practised by the so-called eggeating snake of tropical and southern Africa. This creature feeds on eggs, which it swallows whole. It has no teeth in the front of its, jaws, and those at the sides are quito inefficient for breaking egg-shells; but it is furnished with teetb-liko processes, tipped with enamel, which' grow from under the surface of the vertebral column and project through the walls of the gullet. When the egg reaches them its further progress is barred, and it remains there, forming a large oval swelling. Then a few contortions on the part of the snake are sufficient to split the egg longitudinally against these "teeth." The contents pass down into the stomach, while the shell after a few minutes is ejected from the month, usually With the .two halves fitted into each other. The epg-<?ater is a • small snake about 2Jft. in length, and not much thicker, than a man's finger. Yet it is j able to swallow an ordinary fowl's egg. ' "SWTPT" NEW ZEALAND CHAWTONSHTP AND MAKES M3W RECORDS. -\ It is now some months since R. Lewis on a "Swift" won tho World's Cycling Championship in the great 190 mile I race conducted in connexion with the ! Olympic Games, but the superiority of the "Swift" bicycle ac a speed mount has been demonstrated in a score of championships and record-breaking events in erery part of the world since then. The latest honours to fall to "Swift" riders in New Zealand are the One Mile Championship, won by George Wallace at Auckland, and the new motor-paced records for one mile (lmin 34sec) and two miles (3mm 2 1-geee) made by F. Shalders at Timaru. Such Buccesses as these go far to &* m °™ ir .f™ the truth of our claim that the Swift is the best bicycle built in the world to-day. There are several unique points about tho "Swift." Tor one thing its bearings are guaranteed for five years; and for another, thosd bearings *re bo designed as to render the "Swift the propelled bligc^evermanu^

factured. The new 1914 models now to hand are built on smart and beautiful lines The ladies' machines are built so as to afford a comfortable yet graceful position to the rider, a feature not co common as you might be led to belie-re. Tho roadsters, both ladies' and mem 6, are equipped with steel mudguards, free wheel, and two rim brakes, and are beautifully finished. Prices range from £12 10s, and terms can be arranged from £1 deposit. "We have confidence in the honesty of our clients and our reputation is such that our clients can return the compliment. For those desiring a bicycle of absolutely tho highest class and the -utmost reliability, the "Swift" ie an exceptionally pood investment.
