and also numerous animals and snakes, are being taken from Australia to America by the Monterey, which left Auckland for Los Angeles on Saturday.

They are for exhibition at the coming Chicago Fair.
Anyone whistling for a taxicab in Piccadilly. London, is liable to have Ins name and address taken, while to drop a scrap of orange peel renders one liable to a fine of £2. Canned roses arc now being exported from California. Sprayed with hot paraffin wax and packed mechanically in airtight containers, the delicate cuttings negotiate 3300-mile trips across the continent without injury.
