One of the automatic penny-in-the-slot weighing machines, outside an Invercargill shop, was opened by the owners recently, and the contents consisted of about a gallon measure of pennies. When the coin had been counted it was found that in the five months the machine had been in operation 2190 pennies and one half-crown had been contributed by persons anxious to test their weight. Lansdowne House, in Berkeley Square, has been sold for three-quar-ters of a million pounds.
