We do not suppose that this will trouble him much, for he has grown used to it by this time. Still it is rather amusing to note how Mr. STEWART LOCKHART attempts to whitewash everybody by pointing out that His Excellency the Governor has now appointed a Commission to sit upon the Public Works Department.

A THRILLING RIDE The passengers on the Jungfrau electric railway had a thrilling experience recently. The train had reached a point near the Eiger glacier, when the power suddenly failed, and the train full of tourists rushed down the steep incline with terrible velocity towards a precipice.

The frightened tourists jumped out into complete darkness, holding lighted matches, and reached Rattock Station Çovered with mud and mach ̧ exhausted.
