A PROFITABLE IDEA.

Jnst how profitable that idea ol youra may be is a matter ol speculation in yoar mind. Why not asoertain with some de gree.of certainty whether it has any value at all? Consult Baldwin ana Rayward, Patent Agents and Consulting Engineers, National Chambers, Wellington. Ton will be told the truth, and if the idea is worth patenting, the Patent-rights wil be seoared ~ for yon. Write for bbofctet " Patents," whioh tells all that is worth tolling of what may be patentd. and how ii may be patented 0. Langley Bell,* representative for Nslaon, opposite Post Office,

.When first living in. Nelson, Mr Tinlineijfea^, ,his nome. where Mr Luxford's reideDce no* stands intfto Wood, and he farmed the flat about! Milton street extending as far as Mr John Sharp's present residence. Ho had a Maori living at his home,|and Ke'early became "a Maori scholar ana interpreter, a fact which lea to his taking part in much of the erefltful historj of that time. In company with a Maori boy, he was the first white settler to go from Nelson to Wairau by way of the Wangamoa, They came out on to the sfcreaiji which flow bears his name, and following that,' iiross'ed tile Pelorus just belßw where the' etfrfe bridge now spans the stream 1 . At the time of the Maori dis'turbailees he went, up the Wanganui river on Emission" from the Govern - irtent (which proved abortive); 1 taking his life in his hands, be' wfljj one of the first Europeans to walk from Wanganui by the sea coast to Wellington. * ... As Jsir .Joseph Ward jnentioriad at the opening of the rie,w Post Office: Mr Tinline was the last remaining trustee of those' who, received the trust from the New, Zealand Company to establish steam communication betweon Nelson and outside, ports, the "Tasmanian Maid" being the vessel purchased. He was always a "supporter of genuine sport, and used to recount how he rode his own horses to victory in the first races ran in Nelson, the course being a wide one, with the Church Hill in the centre. To the day of his death he was Patron of and subscriber to a number of Athletic and other clubs. Id addition to the lands mentioned above, be at one time held large areas in Tauranga and Opotiki districts, but these he sold, and at the time of his death held only the Wfangapeka run (to be cut up By the Government) and the Gladstone tan (jointly with Mr S M Neville). Mr Tiriline was. the last of. the settler^ fiom Nelson who took up the first land in the Wairau, and it was in view of this fact that he and Mrs Mowatt were chosen to hold the ribbon which; the first engine on the Bienheim-Seddon railway crossed at the opening ceremony: . . Mr Tinline was not indiscriminate 1 in his giving; but he ga-Ve handsomely. His foundation of scholarships has already been referred tti (those for Nelson Colleges represent the sunl of £1200 donated), and it will be remembered that he contributed a sum approaching £700 for the iron standards and obains whioh grace the coping of the" sea wall to the Rocks Eoad. , For some years Mr Tinline made his home in Nelson at Warwick House, but he .made several trips to the Old Country, and paid occasional visits to other parts of the Colony. Mr Tinline never married, and his relations consist of a sister (Mrs Murray, of South Australia, son and daughter of his brother George (residing in England), and a nephew, Mr J G K Murray, his sister's son, now on his way to Nelson from Sydney.
