Serious floods occurred in the Hawkes Bay and Manawatu districts. Trains were unable to reach Napier, and the steamers had to pass the port on a count of the mountainous sea in the bay. The loss of stock and root crops will probably be considerable.

THE VALUE OF A BANANA AS FOOD.— The noted traveller and scientist, Alexander Von Humboldt, one of the wisest inen of the | last century, a wonderfully practical man and a close observer, estimated that a banana planta- tion will feed twenty-five human beings where a potato field of the same size would support | but two, and a wheat farm only one. He also

ascertained that chestnut groves, with full-grown trees, produce six times as much food per acie as any cercal crop. In view of these facts it has been suggested that a time may come when the staple of human food will be mainly derived from trees, greatly to the advantage of the race. When our deserts are reclaimed by irrigation and date palms, bananas, mesquite, and other fruit trees cover them, there will be a vast in- crease in palatable and nourishing food.

He thought he was right, as he had always been informed that when a gentleman received a title be changed his nume, and he had seen it in a paper that the name chosen by Sir Arthur was Sir Sherlock Holmes. Sir Conan Dayle added that he thought that the little pamphlet which he had written on the war was the chief cause of the honour that had come to him.

FINAL

ROYAL WELCH FUSILIERS 7. V.RC. "X" On Saturday, the final for the Hongkong Water Polo Shield was played at the R.C. premises at Kewloon. At about 43 am, an liour before the appointed time to commence, a heavy downpour, accompanied by thunder and lightning damped a good deal of the enthusissin and undoubtebly kept many an intending spectator away. Later, however, the weather cleared up, but an inky blanket of clouds still shut out, the blue sky and it was observed by those present that the work of constructing additional spect ators' accommodation had been wasted. In
