A GIANT CHAE-A-BANC. TYPICAL OF THE WORK OF JOHNSOX AND SMITH. If further evidenco were wanting of the super-excellence of the Motor-Body Work turned out in this Dominion, the original of tha Giant Out-*-banc depicted above clinches the matter. The work of Messrs Johnson and Smith, of Kilmore street, built on a chassis—a White Special Model 00A, supplied by Newton King, Ltd., of New Plymouth—to the order of Matthew Park and Co., Ltd., 20'2 Cnshel street. The Maaagw of tft« letter firm (Mr F. Neate) states that this char-a-banc is the finest of its kind south of the line, and will bo used for observation totnrs. picnir and special, parties. The consistently high standard of workmanship achieved by Johnson and Smith, has earned for this firm an enviable r»ptitat**tt and compelled a rapid expansion of business. So much so, indeed, that they nre now the largest firm of the kind in the Dominion, empttrfiag over 100 hands. A cordial invitation is extended to visitors to view their large works.

Does one's haii- really '-stand en end" with fright ? Each individual hair has a tiny muscle at its root which, in the ordinary way, keops the hair flat and in position. Tho sensation of fright, however, transmits a message froju the brain to these muscles, with tiie result that they pul! tight, causing the feeling that the hairs are standing bolt, upright. I;; short-haired animals, esjKcially, these hair mußdes are easily affected. The hair stands en end at the slightest sign of danger, enabling the animals to" appear larger than they really are, and x.hus—soaifctiiacs, at least—irishten their enemies.
