MYSTERY FIND ON MOUNTAIN.

NEW ZEALAND RACE BEFORE MAURIS,

WELLINGTON, N.Z. An astonishing discovery has been made on the leading ridge on Mount Waiopehu, at the back of Levin. This was the finding. on the surface of the ground in the virgin bush, of a primitive flint knife or cutting instrument of a The importance of food in rela-type which, it would seem, can tion to health, was given special only, be ascribed to the Paleolithic attention by Sir George, who de- ar Old Stone Agc. clared:

Flint is a rock quite foreign to the Tararua Range, and is in fact not found in the Wellington Pro vince. Furthermore, this fint knife is almost certainly not of Maori origin, Maori stone adzes and other artifacts being of the Neolithic or New Stone Age type. The Waiopehu fint knife is 3ļin. in length, ein. in breadth, and jin. in thickness, and has two keen cut ting edges. Chipped fint knives of similar character from Euro- pean sites have been ascribed by experts to early Paleolithic dates, and thus were used by prehistoric man from 20,000 to 40,000 years ago, The late Dr. Julius von Has one of New Zealand's most dia tinguished geologists, always main- tained that there existed in New Zealand long before the Mauris an abbriginal race, whom he designat ed 5 Mos hunters, and that their people used chipped fint knives The body also needs mineral on Haast also stated that old salta (calcium, jodine, mag-traditiona nesium, sodium, and potassium), contained in milk, cheese, eggs, green vegetables, and fruit, the last two furnishing a consider- able bulk of fibrous material

There has been an amazing transformation in the health of the people, for whom life is wider, better, and longer.

The elements of nutrition for the body are six in number: Food, fresh air and sunlight, exercise of the body, warmth, cleanliness, and rest.

Taking food as the most impor

taat of these six elements, Sir George said:

Preventive Disease, Ignorance of a sensible dietary is the direct cause of much pre- ventible disease, and more people suffer from eating too much than too little. Man's diet should con- tain some proteins, such as oc cur in meat, fish, milk, bread, ad, cheese, eggs, peas, beans, lentils; some fats, as in cream, butter, suet, lard, dripping, and olive oil; some carbohydrate as in sugar, bread, potatoes, rice, and starchy foods.

Those who have seen the Levin specimen are satisfied that it is product of primitive human work manship, though how it came to the spot where it was found is a question at present impossible to

answer.

HONG KONG'S CONTRIBUTION.

Mr. Ammon, referring to Singa- pore, in the House of Commona on March 22nd, said the fact that there was not likely to be a graving | dock there altered the whole posi tion, and for all practical pur- poses floating dock would not be worth a snap of the fingers Lieut. Col. Headlam said that since the present Government had been in office the policy had been to proceed first with the floating dock at Singapore, and then with the graving dock. The graving dock had not yet been commenced. It was included in the construe- dad

On the Report of the Vote for Naval Works and repairs at home
