Ihe three following paiagrapha, garnered irom dilfereut sources, should be read together: — There were 12,000 native-born Australians in tian i'rducisco before the aarLhqudke. A goou proportion are in a lair way of business, but the majority are artisans. The Union Ironworks, one of the biggest engineenng and shipbuilding yards in the United States, employs some hundreds of Australians." — Sydney Worker, 17-5-'O6. Boilermakers are busy, aa are also engineers, blacksmiths, and ironworkers* assistants. They are, however, mostly engaged on repairs, which will probably cause the improvement to be ot a temporary nature only- Ironmoulders aie very slack, and trade with them is bad. — Report of VV. F. Schey, N.S.W. Director of Labour. Since the publication of particulars of the inspection of western iron ores by Messrs. Thornley and Pennymore, the firm of W. Sandford, Limited, has received a number of letters from persons living in different part& of the State calling attention to iron deposits on their properties, and asking lor tests to -be made, with a view to utilisation in the new blast furnace. — Herald, 16-5-'O6. There is a case for a statesman in a nutshell ! Unexploited ore deposits ; casual work for local iron-workers, tr the alternative of going abroad. The c is a note of pride in the allusion to the 12,000 Australians, a big number of tlipm irou-workers, driven abroad ; a note ot "Thank Providence for to-day and Heaven help us to-morrow" in the temporary employment on repairs item ; and a casualness in the allusion to the iron deposits that is pathetic. And the country wants population ! The country that lets 12,000 of its people drift away to toil in ironworks, or any other works, in a foreign land, while it owns the r.iw material and possesses a market withm its gates, doesn't invite population. It invites invasion.

The post mortem examination on the body of a young man who was foun^ dead in bed at Ashburt'on revealed a physiological phenomenon which is seldom met with. A local pa.per states that the organic system of the deceased was found tto be an exact transposition of the orthodox human construction, the heart and other organs which are generally located in the left side of the human body being on the righe side, while the liver and other physical organs of the right side were found in corresponding positions on the left side of the system. Dr. Boyd, who conducted the post mortem, said there was no reason why a person who was born with his physical economy co diametrically transposed should ,not be healthy and live an average existence. Such case 3as this occur very rarely, and medical practitioners do not reckon on coming across one even in a lifetime. A most contemptible theft was perpetrated recently in tflie Victoria Arcade, Auckland. A young man, who was carrying a small parcel, -was seized with a fit, and it wag a few minutes before he sufficiently recovered, with the as&istlance of a number of bystanders, to be placed in a cab and driven to bis home. A crowd had gathered round the spot, and wtolst tfliose who had gone to the as■itance of .the man were performing iheir kindly office some person appropriated the parcel, and quickly slunk away with it. The package contained nothing of any greab value. Tho Socialist Party invite trade unionists and employers to discuss an antiSocialism manifesto on Sunday at the DruidV Hall at 7.30,,
