A good story relative to the difficulties met with on the coast roads in winter is told by Inspector Hutton, who has iust returned from an inspection of the coast stations (states the Gisborne Times). While travelling lietween Tokomaru Bay and Ruatorea. their car became bogged. There was not sufficient gear aboard to pull her out, so it was necessary to apply to the nearest roadman for help*. *Two Maoris hove in sight, and when they reached the car were offered 2s 6d each to take a letter to the nearest roadman’s. Off they went at a gallop, and the passengers watched them cross a swollen creek nearby, feeling that they would not have much longer to wait. In a couple of hours the Maoris returned, but' there was no sign of the roadman. “Did you deliver the letter safely?” asked the driver. “Oh, yes,” they replied. “And what did the roadman say?” “He didn’t say anything,” returned the Maoris, “we didn’t give him the letter, we left it in the post hox two miles further along the road.” The passengers settled themselves to a further weary wait , until the driver could get the necessary assistance. EYESIGHT AND ARTIFICIAL LIGHT. LEADING EXPERT’S OPINION. A noted London specialist states that 75 per cent, of optical troubles are caused through working in close proximity to electric light or gas. A soft, mellow, steady light, as given by Golden Ray Candles, is the ideal illumination. “Golden Rays” are specially hardened candles and don’t wilt nor splutter. Burn slowly and clearly for liourji. More economical than imported brands. If your grocer camiot supply Golden Ray Candles, order direct from Ellis and Manton, Ltd., G.P.O. Box 222, Wellington.—Advt.
