It induces a sense of weariness, of depression, of utter inability to do the day's work or to take an active interest in anything.tary presiding. Its immediate consequences are a morbid- ness, irritability and moodiness which are peculiarly disconcerting to the sufferer's friends, who, as a zale, are unable to appreciate the gravity of his condition and put all sorts of wrong constructions on his behaviour.

The cause of brain-fag is due to the using up too rapidly of the phosphorus salts, which are of supreme importance in nourishing the brain and nervous system. To cure this condition, the amount of phosphorus must be completely restored. The ordinary salts of phosphorus which were always used have, now, been proved fo be quite inefficient for the purpose. What is needed is a phosphorus prepara tron in the organic form" "and in "chemical combination, as doctors call it. Of all the salts of phosphorus the best are those known as the

Fon. Mr. MURRAY STEWART OF what ground did the contractor claim!

The CHAIRMEN--Various additions to the works. The amount claimed was very much greater.

Hon. Mr. MURRAY STEWART-Additional work done!

The CHAIRMAN-I think the hon. mem→ ber has been on the Committee.

Hon. Sir KAI HO KAI-Cannot the Director of Public Works give us some explanation ?

The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS-The claim was more in the nature of a delay in payments.

w

Hon. Mr. MURRAY, STEWART-I ask, sir, for information because my recollection dees not coincide with yours. It was understood to be belated payments.

The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS read the particulars of the claim, from which it appeared that the amount was made up of wages, interest on title deede, interest on detention of money, and interest

value of measured for 27 months.

Hon. Mr. MURRAY STEWART-Do I understand the Director of Public Works to say that work was not measured for 27 months after it had been completed 1

The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS-There was a total estimated shortage of pay- ments amounting to $100,000 for 27 months, on which one per cent. interest per month was charged.

Hon. Mr. MURRAY STEWART That is to say, if it had been measured up at the time the claim would have been less by this amount of interest?

The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC Works--That is 50.

Hon. Mr. MeRKAY STEWART-IN there any reason why it should not have been measured up at the time!

Hon. Mr. OSBORNE May I ask if the Post Office committee report will be ready shortly!

MARINE INSURANCE.

STANDARDIZED DARGO CLAUSES.

Notice was given at Lloyd's last week that on and after August 1st, stan- dardized cargo clauses will come into operation. Practically all the English marine insurance companies and the members of Lloyd's have agreed to use these clauses, says the Times, and will only recognize any departure from them if notice. be given in writing when the insurance is proposed. The legisle The CHAIRMAN-This money has beention excepts the grain, rice, and nitrate paid.

The CHAIRMAN was understood to say that the report had been received.

The eighth clause relates to particular average, and. it is maintained, is extremely liberal clause for the purpose. Indeed, the provision is more favourable to traders than some similar clauses now put forward by merchants themselves. It runs thus : --

Warranted free from particular or craft be average unless the vessel stranded sunk or burnt, but the assurers are to pay the insured value of any package or packages which thay be total ly lost in loading transshipment or dis charge, also any loss of or damage to the interest insured which may reasonably be attributed to fire collision or contact done for the insurance of hulls,

Of these eight, three average, eight. are of special interest.

No. 2 is essentially a 1912 clause! for it reflects the labour disturbances that so far this year have been one of the main features of business. It is as follows:-

The CHAIRMAN put the question to the gute, and the vote was passed by eight votes to four. The Hon. Mr. Osborne, Hon. Mr. Murray Stewart, Hos. Mr. Pollock and the Hon. Sir Kai Ho Kai voted against the motion.

On the vote for 82,000 for instruments, etc., for the Observatory.

Hon. Mr. Ross asked if Mr. Claxton was satisfied with the instruments he has
