Proctor, and well-known a≤ a lecturer oh astronomy, passed through Auckland on Tuesday, by the Makura en route for Australia, where she opens her lecture season, under the direction of Messrs. Dix and Baker. Miss Proctor has recently paid a visit to tho Yorke; Observatory at Williams Bay, Wis., the solar observatory at Mount Wilson, Cal., aud the Lick Observatory at Mount Hamilton, where she has obtained the latest news in astronomical research. Her great aim is to arouse the enthusiasm of the Australians in the erection of a solar observatory in I lie Commonwealth' to complete the chain, composed of observatories of like kind at Mount Wilson; Cambridge, England; and Southern India.

"A Blot on Civilisation." Mrs. 'Gillam, wife o£ tho Vicar of St. Matthew's, a prominent member of the Ladies' Benevolent .Society, in speaking to an Auckland "Herald" reporter,said: My own cases in what we call tho City South urea nunilwr thirty a month, principally women who hare been deserted by their husbands. A few are prisoners' wives, while I have same meu bereft of life's necessities through the ravages of disease. One poor man has had a brnin trouble for three years. Ho has four children, nnd only ouo able to earn anything. Were it not for t.he energies and devotion of his wife, Ms lot'would be pitiful indeed. Wo usually pay him about 8?. a week. Naturally wo should all like to givo moro, but a.s i say our means oro limited, and our other calls equally important. A woman calltd to-day stating that her 'husband had deserted. Sho had a little- baby in her arms just two months old, and auother child aged two'years. Poor woman, she wns absolutely penniless, and her baby very, vory ill. Tho husband had promised to send money, but ho had not kept his word. One other case is that of a man, an absolute loafer, whose wife is unfortunately of the samo helpless, hopeless disposition. There are throo children. We have helped them so much and without elTect, that charity has had to be withdrawn. At the samo time one cannot see God's children starve, and we give them the bread that is needful. Recently a woman was left with a baby only three weeks old. Another was deserted 12 months n?o, her husband leaving four children with her. I think it is a blot on our civilisation, and law that women nnd children should he treated in this way. -In fact, 85 per cent, of our cases are due to wife desertion. This social scandal is on the increa.-e, nnd should be stopped. Husbamds ought to be captured and returned to their town. There they ought to be placed on public works, nnd their wages withheld for the support of their wives.
