to use it. The country, the great mass of the toiling and suffering taxpayers of England, provide the money, and, as they are fools enough not to demand that their own class shall have's share in spending it, that is their own look out, Meantime the solemn farce of talking the most appalling nonsense on the subject is ceaselessly kept up. For the sake of the stupid English tax-payers aforesaid, a bankrupt peer or some person whose presence in England is embarras singly awkward to the party in power is regularly launched out upon the colonials with salvocs of official high falutin as to his patriotism, noble.. mindedness, and all that sort of thing. Lord On- slow, New Zealand's future official fiddler-in-chief. just before-ho-left-England-was entertained at a big gorge by the London Freemasons, and all the usual bunkum of the above description flowed as freely as the gooseberry champagan. But it was reserved for Onslow himself to do the consummate act of back-scratching on the auspicious occasion, When the feast, of grovel and the flow of gush was at that tide in the affairs of post-prandial speeches which leads to abject imbecility, "the noble Earl" rose to his feet, and spoke in enthusiastic terms of the young, strong,
(Applause) Loud cheers going to governous country that he was halled his announcement that "it was a country which was loyal to the backbone," because, of course, the poor old fool obviously knew all about it, having never been there before and imagining that it was a sort of howling back woods, swarm- ing with millionaire miners, convicts, or Soudan sand-trappers. But his final effort was yet to come. As nobody else had done the "patriotic spout about him yet, and did not seem likely to, it struck him that he had better burry up with it himself. So he began to lay it thick on to Kintore, who was going out about the same time. After giving him a good big boost up, as a man' and a brother Mason, he led off in this style: It was an augury for the future of the Empire that there were men who were willing to go away and leave the pleasures and comforts of a civilised land for a very few years for the pleasure of promoting the welfare and happiness of the Empire." There you have it! Onslow and Kintore are a couple of beroes because they are men who are willing to leave the pleasures and comforts of a civilised land"--and "for a very few years, too"--and take up their abode in the miseries and discomforts of "exile" in the blawsted kawlinies for the pleasure of pocketing a big screw, doing absolutely nothing, and "promos- ing the welfare and happiness" of the Empire in general and the blawsted kawliales in particular. No, no, Keynd Friends, it's too thin It's too awfully, unutterably thin This sort of thing may go down in grand old England, but it's not worth a cent out here. We're getting full up of it. It's played out. You may be able to teach your British grandmother to suck eggs, but your Australian grandson has been there already. The Governor Mutual Advertising" Company is frightfully shaky. All it does is to remind us of what the early Christians say the other people used to say about them. Shew there Governors, love one another!

THE MOST COSTLY METALS,
Some rare metals, posscasing special qualities, are required for certain work. Thus palladium is used in making some parts of timepieces, and iridium for the points of gold pens, and the uninitiated have no idea of the value of such carce products. Vanadium costs, for instance, 123.90of per kilogramme; zeconium, 79,2956, and ithium, which is the lightest of metals, 77,090f per kilogramme. Rhodium, which is extremely hard and brittle, and is only fusible at a very "igh temperature fetches 35.3306, and iridium,
he heaviest substance hereto discovered costs. 12,005f per kilogramme. It will, therefore, be acen that gold and silver are far from being the most precious metals as far as their market value is concerned.

In the Veenno Sanitarnoie Delo Dr. Jakey Schmulevitch, the editor, emphatically draws attention to dried potatoes as an important food article possessing some very valuable advantages in comparison with the vegetable in its fresh. date. The advantages cirimed for the article are these: (1) While fresh potarnes easily rot, blacken and sprout, dried potatoes, when kept duly protected from moisture, remain in the best Griffard, condition for a very long time; and (2) being by far lighter and less bulky than fresh potatoes are by far more convenient for preservation and transportation, which point has a great practical importance, especially in time of war. To be fit for culinary use the article requires a preliminary maceration in water for about ten or twelve hours.
ADVANCE IN HYGIENIC CLOTHING. The new cellular clothing now coming into use in England is said to be a success. It is woven out of the same materials as the common weaves of cloth, bring simply, as its name Indi- extes, closely woven into cells, the network of which is covered over with a thin fluff. It paras quality allows the slow passing of the outside and inside air, giving time for the outside air to become of the same temperature as the body, obviating all danger of catching colds and allowing vapors constantly exhaled by the body to pass off, thus contributing toward health and cleanliness. The common objection to collon clothing-that it is productive of chills and colda-is removed if woven in this manner, and the invention can certainly be said to be strictly in accordance with hygienic, and, scientific principles.

THE METAL OF THE FUTURE.
Many scientiap men believe that aluminium is destined to be the metal of the future, displace Ing iron and steel. Aluminium abounds whet. ever there is a clay bank, but the processes of reducing it to a metallic form were corlly until the electric current was utilized to that end," Aluminium ia'a soft, white metal which never rusts, is little more than one-third the weight of iron, combines readily with other metals, and when alloyed with copper becomes harder than steel.
