In this tbe carbides lies at the bottom, , and abovo it is a partition filled with ' water, Above this is a vacant space with ' tho electrio percussion device, On tbe side , of the cartridge is an iron pin, by means of j which the partition between the oarbide and the water oan bo perforated. After tho ' drill-holo hns been completed tho cartridge t is placed into it, and the hole is closed will) a, wooden stopper Thon the pro- ' truding iron pin is dealt a blow, by which i tho partition is perforated, and the wator is caa»od to come in contact with 'tho ' oarbide, 'whereby acetylene gas is gene--3 rated.

The Hodbavrow Mining Company, Cumj berland,' England, are engaged oil a remarkable enterprise, This, is tho con- " struotion of a wall to shut out tho sea e from an area of tho foreshore, under which lies a splendid deposit of hematite.

Professor Hall-Edwards, of Birmingham :j University, who is one of tho leading io authorities on X-roys burnings, and lfl is himself the unhappy possessor ofn at serios of uloers on his hands eauu.ed id by burns . received while using tho B , rays. Mr. Wright is naturally anxious to m compare notes with Professor on their, j; mutual experiences, and to learn, if pos*' ix. siblo, whether thero is any danger of unid pleasant developments in his own ouso. 19 Whilst in England Mr Wright proposes to id minglo business with ploasuro, by visiting in the chief electrical ongineering works in j' tho Old Country, and to study the latest developments in tho application of electricity in connection with mining, He a will return to tho colony in time to rof" sumo his duties ot the commencement | e of the school sessions in February next.

Thus it is that " fish, game, butter, beof and niution may '' bo stored together in tho saute froozing . obamber, Thoroaro three chambers, eaoh 27 x 15ft,, usod in connection with the '. freezing department.
