3000 JEWEL LEES. Tho Watorbury Watch Company, in their advico to their representative in New Zealand by last mail, state that so well has their now line of short-wind watches beon received that already three thousand jowellers in tho United States of Amorica have sent in their orders. Considering the population of America, eaoh of the abovo jewellers will represent 20,000 people, and what their requirements will be are not very easily estimated. New Zealand has dono its share toward building np a trade in these wonderful watches. Alroady 79,000 Waterburys have been sold in this colony, and the public will be glad to know that all the leading jewellers, are carrying thorn in stock.

Unfortunately, lamp explosions are becoming rather frequent ; and worse still, it is not always property whioh suffers. Not many months sinoe we were horrified by the particulars of the South Australian Minister of Lands, caused by tbo bursting of a railway lamp, the burning oil from whioh ignited his clothing. A later viotim is Lord Romilly, who lost his life at theEgerton Gardens fire. Tho London Times, in reporting the matter, says : " Lord Romilly accidentally npset the lamp, and was rendered insensible by the fumes of the burning oil." The Daily News, on the other hand, simply points to the accident as illustrating "the danger of using petroleum lamps." The danger, of course, cannot be entirely eradicated, but it can be minimised by using Luxene, tbe "safe light." Common low test kerosene gives no security. Use Luxene, which is freer from smoke and smell, gives a softer, purer light, and burns less quickly. 4 TJUT money in thy purse ,'*dd go to BERRY & ORR'S, 31, Cuba-street, for Boys' and Men's Outfitting.
