Sweet Lavender..
English lavender has made its appearance де Covent Garden Market. The sudden beat has brought on the crop to perfection, and cutting is now in full progress. Mitcham lavender is well know but, owing to the warm climate in the South of Englaad, the lavender grown at Worthing, in Sussex, is usually about a fortnight ahead of any other. English lavender is far superior to the Continental stuff both in size of bloom and in quality. Practically all the lavender sold by hawkers and shops is English grown. Wells of the Oates.
From very early times in the Egyptian cases boring for water was practised in order to improve the yield of the "flowing springs" where the water found its way to the surface by fissures in the rock, and also to obtain new supplies by providing an outlet for the deep-seated water supply where natural fissures did not An inscribed stone which was fomad in the Dakhla Oasis, and is now in the Ashmolean Museum at j Oxford, records a legal dispute about a well in the reign of Shes- honk I, and in this a distinction is made between natural surface flowing wells and bored or sunk wells. No description of the ap- parátus employed has come down to us, says the Times, but there can be little doubt that it was much the same as that which has been in use in the more northera Oasis of Bahari up to quite recent years, and of which a specimen is now in the Science Museum at South Kensington.
Taxi-Cab Fares.
occur,
Londoners, and visiters to Lon dos,are interested in, but not very hopeful about, the latest cut in the price of petrol, as affecting the cab tares. Some cab owners have al ready stated that 32d.off the gallon of petrol cannot be translated into pennies on the taximeter. But they will have more difficulty in persu-. ding the public that the reduction) from 4. 3. in 1920 to Is 8d. to-day (plus a fall in the price of tyres) does not justify
TC-
duction from 1s. to 1Cd. as the minimum fare. That this would increase the turnover I haven't the smallest doubt, says a writer: and men would still get their minima tip 3d. 01 the minimum fare. The extras also need revision. It is quite unreason- able, when two people are carried a mile for Is., to charge 2s. 6d. for four people on the same journey. The drivers, of course, will resist the reduction of extras, as they get them in full, for themselves. The other day I drove to a railway istation; the fare was 25, and the extras were 28. 3d.-two extra passengers 15. 6d, a cycle gd., and four pieces of luggage ts. After all, the chief object in taking a, station cab is to carry luggage.
