The clerks in the railway department are evidently not supposed to know much about engineering. One day last week, (says the Christchurch Telegraph), M was asked to go and see what quantity of water there was in one of the engine’s boilers. As he was away rather a long time, some anxiety was felt for his safety, and the head of the office went outside to look after him. He found him at the top of a ladder placed against the chimney funnel staring with all his eyes down the black avenue in search of the water. His investigations clearly ende'l in smoke.
