Since leaving England in February, 1903, Mr Mayors and the Barnardo Boys have held over six hundred services and meetings and have raised more than £16,000 for the Barnardo child rescue work. This sum is to bo expended in a new hospital to be erected in the Barnardo Girls’ Village as an Australasian tribute to Dr Barnardo’s memory. The party has been well received in every State, and in the Dominion. Situations have been secured for ten boys who came out with the secretary. The chief cities of Australia and New Zealand have contributed the proportionate cost of a bed each in the new hospital and large photographs of these places will be hung upon its walls. It is to be called the “Australasian” Hospital.

Professor Rutherford has communicated to the Philosophical Magazine, of London, a. paper written by Dr C. Coleridge Farr and Mr D. C. H .Florence, of Canterbury College, on radium found in rocks of the sub-antarctic islands of New Zealand. Their investigations seem to show that the distirbution of radium in the rocks of this region is in excess of the quantity required to maintain the constancy of the earth’s heat, and they emphasise the necessity for an examination of rocks from all places in the region and of all ages. They find that the mean radium content of these rocks approximates very closely to that found for other rocks by Strutt and by Eve and M’lntosh, but it differs considerably from Joly’s estimate. They point out, however, that further investigations are being made of flip rocks of the region, it is ajso hoped to examine the distribution of radium in the material encountered in making the Lyttelton tunnel. This investigation will give a range of time from the earliest sedimentary rocks to the last flow of the old volcano ,the wafl of whose crater is bored by the funnel,

Some small-minded individuals may feel aggrieved because Lord Kitchener has not supplied New Zealand with a three-decker report -all to itself. It is a little humilating to be “put in our place” and to have our country treated as a section of military Australia, but we prepared the public for something of the kind. For defence purposes Now Zealand cannot be treated apart from Australia, and, although Lord Kitchener does not treat of tho larger problems of colonial defence, it is obvious that he has taken the community of Australian and New Zealand interests for granted. Moreover one expert will never have halfi-a.-dozen different military schemes in mind .it mind at the same time.- —Christchurch Star. “Laxo-Tonic,” wrote one who was ill, “Is a health-giving, nourishing pill; I’ve never felt better, So excuse this short letter, From your ever affectionate Bill.” LAXO-TONIC PILLS, lOid and Is Cd Obtainable at W.
