A Waikato youth has returned from Germany, where he was paid off from a German boat, after having shipped at Panama as a stoker (says the Times). His two months wages at the American rate of pay totalled 800,000,000 marks (£32). The German rate of pay would have been only £1 10s. A suit of clothes cost him 97,000,000 marks (£4).

Paragrele, or hail-preventers, in certain rural districts of France have proved a great success, no damage from hail having been the result in districts so prevented. The cost works out at about 4d per acre. The apparatus consists of a terminal, which is at least 33ft high, a conductor to pass the electricity to the earth, and a dif? fuser, which is placed in a well, creek, or underground watercourse.
