A case of infantile paralysis wa# (lis- ; covered in Wellington recently tinder '. most extraordinary circumstances. ,Baj- ■■'. geant Badger, of the New Zealand M»d» '. leal Corps, was standing at the corner . of Courtcnay iPlace and Cambridge Ter- . , race, when he noticed a little boy, aged ; four years, stagger and fall. He examined the child, and diagnosed the oaio as infantile paralysis. Sergeant Bad-' ger took the little fellow to the ho»> , pital, where the doctor confirmed the , diagnosis. . When the boy left his homo early in the afternoon, with his two brothers, he appeared to be quite well,;

In matters such as town planning, it is necessary to look a long way ahead, and in view of the possibility, and from , its many natural advantages (one might, even say, probability) of Xew Plymoutheventually growing into a largo indus-, trial city, it is necessary that tliii quea- * tion should receive some consideration

at the present time (says thfc Towp . Clerk in his annual report). Experience ■ has proved that it is possible for a great industrial centre, to be brought into existence without spoiling the imtur.\) beauties of the town, and without mil • ing it an undesirable place to live in. £, , taking the necessary steps now it »]"»■ "■■.

Two now submarines of the latest ..,,, typo have been ordered from the Ad- '"■ -\ miralty by the ('oimnnnwealtii Government to replace the two boats of the ■ E class which, unfortunately, met, with disaster at an early stage of the 1 war. \ It will be remembered that the Al3l .'; waß lost with all hands in September, >_ 1914. The vessel, it is believed, struck a reef, but the exact cause of the din- '■ '»'

aster will probably never oc known. '.,'* Within a year the sister ship, AE2, \va» ■ '\ also lost to the Australian Xavy, the j vessel going aground at the Dardanelles . ',:! after performing magnificent work with the Allied fleet. Both boats thus hat' -,J only a short life in the Australian Nary. '■-;' They were built at Messrs VickerV ".'• yards at Barrow in 1913, and reached ~.']• Australian waters in May, 1914. Their-» * voyage across the ocean from England '■, ;j constituted a record performance. Tito i distance covered was 12,500 milei, and \i the vessels travelled two-thirds of tJie -.\£ journey under their own power. It W •'% not known when the two new submar- ' ,i incs will be completed, but the Minister ■ $ of the Navy (Mr Jensen) stated last, % week that should they b e ready before "\\ the termination of the war, the'uitWl- .'d ! tics in Australia would onlv be too glad - to allow the British Admiralty to, ultl- ' '$ Use the vessels in which ever way' they ''? thought fit. It is not probable, therefore, that they will be seen in Auf [\ tralian waters for some considerable * time to come.
