"Writing from Auckland, the Rev. P. T. Mignot, of Guernsey, who was in Wellington recently, refers to the telephone system in New Zealand, and com. pares it -with that in the Channel Islands. "In Guernsey,'' he state?, "tho telephone system is not in the hands of the Post Office. A striking feature to visitors is the network of overhead wires seen throughout tho island. Thero are about 14 instruments to every thousand of thq population, an average beaten probnbly only by Chicago, with 15, which puts London's 3.5 in the shade, and should, I think, heat New Zealand's average. The tariff is one of tho lowest in the world, quite-beating New Zealand's annual charge. The whole system is self-supporting." Philatelists will ho interested to know that among the recent additions mado to Jamaican postage stamps those provided for the Cayman Islands, a dependency of Jamaica, are rocess printed in an improved design elc6oly resembling of the present New Zealand series. They are postage and .revenue stamps of the face value of lid, 3d, Is, and ss, tolje issued next month. The Cayman Islands are one of those which relies on its sale to philatelists to make up its revenue, and it has just sold the remainder of its Edward VII. stamps for £735.
