Tho Marino Department will place on view at tho Auckland Exhibition a freshwater aquarium, similar to that which it installed at tho Christchurch Exhibition. Livo fresh-water fish will bo shown swimming iu tanks with glaaed fronts. Tho aquarium will probably bo at Auckland, as it was in Christchurch, in a special building, apart from tho main building nnd a constant supply of fresh water will bo provided. Tho collodion of fish displayed at Auckland will bo lees comprehensive than the Christchurch exhibit because tho water at Auckland is too warm for some variotios of fish. Despite this limitation tho aquarium will no doubt Ijo a oentre of interest whon tho Exhibition opens. At Christchurch sea lions were exhibited by tho Mfcrine Department, in an artificial pond, but it is not proposed to repeat this feature at Auckland. In addition to tho aquarium tho Marino Department will show at tho. Exhibition a number of lamps, linhts, and similar appliances.

Firth, Marconi wireless operator on board the New Zealand Shipping Company's Paparoa, and the above was his reply in answer to a question as to what was the best work which his "machine" had done during his voyage from London. It is said that tho i distance mentioned is something of a record. Besides this "big talk," Mr. Firth has been successful in holding communication wtth several other stations at more than ordinarily long range. He "got" Cape Town at 1570 miles, and conversed freely with tho operators there. Durban was "held" at 1500 milcß, and Goraldtcm (West Australia) was communicated with at the same distance. When Approaching tho Tasmanian coast, Mr. Firth talked to Perth at a distance of 1300 miles. Tho second best distance was when tho Paparoa was 2000 miles away from Hobart.
