THE CHANGING SCENE

: ; '' ♦ A BIRD'S EYE VIEW. x (By M C K ) Speaking at Taihape, the Hon J. Carroll eaul —"Thero is nothing in all this talk about tho piling ifp of the national debt year by yc-ir" Wo hope that wo may expect to hear tho good news that the london money-lenders have also beon> playing for love Great excitement, eo a cable message from Portli informs us, has Jjeen caused by "a ; remarkable * method* for preserving milk"'lt appears that some ipili. treated by the new j process four ago has been examined and , foiipd "to retain the characteristics of normal milk./' Knowing s whas normal milk is, tho invention appears jto> have failed in tho most ' handsome manner. French aeronauts recognise that thero is :' * HP 8 nt »?, t> 0 multiple gasbag system. v Itey believe that wooden .propellers are likely ( j. toi t become and thoy recommend ' BloTfer speeds' So.muoh we learned from the : cable man this week It is singular that the French scientists should have been so long in following-tho lesson taught by the Liberal party in New Zealand The multiple gasbag Y system has been m roguo here for many years, tad it was mevitablo that its merits would 1 , wtimately attract notice abroad The Trench, however, are pretty shrewd ob- ' ' earvers when they observe at all This is quite ■ , evident from their inclination towards woodenness It need hardly be said that wo greatly appreciate this, genuine compliment to our f, Legislature—a .compliment that is Jiardly weakened by the French preference for slowor •peeds, and, no doubt, for higher flights Wo ; , ere of course abandoning our former theory , -\ that the multiple gasbags and their wooden propelJors should all be operated by stringq m the hands of the aeronaut in charge Tho Liberal airship has met with numerous mishaps. Many of the multiple ? gatbags wero blown away in the gale of last November, and some of tho strings are so thin that they are likely to snap Tho aoronaut, moreover has dropped some of the strings, and has got gome of the remainder in rather a tanglo j -Unfortunately, too, he is not very conversant \, with the wind-currents, and he is further hampered by having lost bis compass, with tho , result that he is'steering m no direction in , particular. <The weather is likely to bo very wnjSh. and it is not expected that tho ship ' will live through the coming storm "He might also say we wero to provide, tho ! name for our battleship, and he, had held this over m order to have the matter of tho name considered in New Zealand It would thus be seen tint not only did our battleship bo come the .flagship of tho Pacific Squadron m it, individuality, standing out markedlv in that *■ respect, but that tho right of naming it would t snablo New Zealand in vears to come to folln-v • % tho movements and destiny of the first battle i.
