A road train is to be tried down South and will afford an interesting experiment which will no doubt be carefully watched. The Minister for Railwaysv in his statement laid before Parliament says : "I am of opinion that the Renard road trains, one O'f which I &aw in operation in Queensland in 1910, earn be used with considerable advantage' for the purpose of developing business and affording the settlera in sparsely populated districts where it Ist ,impracticable to provide railways in the immediate future, a reliable means of transport tot the nearest railway station. With' a view, therefore, to making a practical test in that direction, I purpose placing at as early a. datie as possible one of these trains on the road in the Central Otago district. If the results come up to my expectations, similar trains will be placed in other suitable portions of the Dominion."

"Nothing could he better than the way in which the Labour Department has treated our first shipment o-f boys," remarked Mr T. E. Sedgwick to a London correspondent on his return from New Zealand. "I am quite satisfied with the result so far, but there is an enormous lot of spade work to be done here to make people understand more about emigration, to make them see that the colonies do not want to take only what they have no more use for here, to make the authorities of orphanages and similar institutions with no criminal taint understand that the' best chance for their boys and girls is in the colonies."

Some of the American periodicals are beginning to devote considerable ■pace to New Zealand. Dun's Review, a New York publication, refers to t>h<e Dominion as "a nation of opportunity im the South Seas and a land of wcnders for tourists and of many attractions for settlers." It particularly lays stress on tbe> fact that, in Now Zealand, there are extraordinary opportunities for almost (every branch of pastoral and agricultural activity. It goes or.' to say that in no part of the world can agriculture, in its widest sense, be carried on with more cert-amity or with better results than in New Zealand, or where the dairy farmer, the wool grower, the sheep and cattle breeder, and the fruit producer can, find better opportunities in any part of the British Dominions.

On the small piece of Borough reserve situated between the Hamilton Town Hall and the traffic bridge, a number of what are purported to be human bones, were unearthed on Saturday while digging operations were in progress. Whether the bones are actually those of human beings

<t rot, it is difficult for any but a student of anatomy to say, but it is ertremdy probable that they are when it is considered that the portion of the bank on both sides of the river from the traffic bridge to the Waikato Times ollica was for centuries the site of the great Te Rapa pah, the " Royal " pah of Waikato, which was one of the largest in New Zealand, and that the ground afterwards became a Maori burying ground. About a dozen segments were picked up, including several of what appeared to be arm or shin bones. Obsequies will he performed t'a-day, when the bones will have to be buried.

There is an old gravel pit, the property of the Cambridge Borough Council, opposite the Domain property. In its present uncared for condition, it is a veritable eyesore, and suggestions have often been made in regard to utilising it, but none have so far crystallised. However, at Friday's meeting of the Cambridge Domain Board, Mr J. Ferguson suggested that it might he converted into a howling green. He said the present green was too small for championship meetings, and a second green was a neoessity. The Mayor (Mr G. Dickinson), who is member of the Board, favored the idea, and said he would be pleased to recommend that it be leased to some controlling body at a peppercorn rental. The present bowling ■>reen at Cambridge was formerly an old gravel pit, and there is no reason why the old pit referred to should not also be converted into a thing of beauty.
