St. Andubw's Church. — At a meeting held last eight to consider the plans sent m for the new St. Andrew!s Church it was resolved to accept thoss of Mr James Hislop of Duneclin. The building is of the modernised Gothic style of architecture, with an 80ft spire and a bell tower. It will bo 64ft m length, and m the transept 52ft feet m width, the nave 35ft, and the vestibule 24ft 6in. Sitting accommodation will be provided for 360 to 370 perions exclusive . of the choir, and the whole arrangements indicate a comfortable and commodious church. The roof will be slated, and a two feet bank will be erected around the building to kenp out the floods. Mr Hislop will probably be m Blenheim m a few days, and after consultation with him tenders will be called for the work of erecting the new church, which we can assure members of the congregation will be one they will have reason to be proud of. Gab.— Sir Wm. Thomson calculates that the number of moleoules m a cubic inrfuof any gas is 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ! In each of these molecules there are several atoms moving among themselves at the rate of seventy miles a minute. Women as Doctors.— On Wednesday the question of admitting females as medical students came before the Dunedin Hospital Trustees on Wednesday last. From the report of the medical staff it apppeared that six out of nine favoured the exclusion of women ; two were m favour of their admittance; a third thought they Bhould go to Great Britian, where special schools were established, If it was decided to admit them, seven members considered it Bhould be precisely under the_ same conditions as male 3tudents, and if they expressed themselves willing to teach mixed classes. The Trustees decided to offer no objection to Miss Emily H. Siedberg, the applicant attending the usual medical course.
