SIFTINGS.

The best form of ventilation in a room was declared by Professor (i. Owen in Auckland last week to be a fireplace. He said that constant ventilation was necessary in a room occupied by human beings, as carbonic acid gas was produced by breathing. There were always about three parts of carbonic acid gas in every 10,000 parts of air, but if the proportion exceeded six parts in 10,000, then we were apt to suffer. Hence it was necessary to constantly change air, Ventilation was the problem of ad' mitting fresh air without causing draughts. A fireplace was the best ventilation device, as it induced a constant flow of air up the chimney. Professor Owen said an open fireplace was the least economical method of beating a room, a stove being much more efficient. In the case of a stove, the source of beat was in the room, and the air was warmed by direct contact with the stove. In the case of an open fireplace the gas heated by the fire escaped up the chimney, KEEP THEM HANDY. Always keep Chamberlain’s Tablets in the house.

Private advices received at Timaru from Sydney state : —November will see the early wheat cut for hay at £lB per ton. It is raining a little in some places, but the north and west are in a bad way. Our wheat will come next season from the Riverina,' and we may have a good crop there, but everywhere else there is short straw and scant fodder. If the general dry weather continues we may see the ex> port of wheat prohibited, and should a flour shortage occur we would not know where to look to fill it. VAGARIES OF A COLD.

It has often been stated that Great Britain owed her immense growth of manufacture to cheap coal, and circulars to hand from England make reference to the possible bad results of the advance in price of six shillings per ton. If the contention that successful competition in manufacture depends upon an ample supply of cheap coal, then the danger in the future is China, There labour is both plentiful and cheap and Professor Fernold estimates that the coal reserves of that country exceed 1,097,436,000,000 short tons (20001b). So far, however, notwithstanding this undeveloped wealth, China still imports coal. THE DIFFERENCE THEY MAKE.
