i A. demonstration was given_ at Messrs. Okey and Hollo's foundry in' New Plymouth a few days ago (says the Auckland "Herald"),, in order to show tlio practicability of making castings from pig iron, tile product of Taranaki ironsand and manufactured under tho Heskett process at Moturoa. The demonstration was made in the presence of a number of prominent local residents, and satisfactory rfcsults were obtained; The Iron ran freely, showing clearly its fluid properties, and it also showed the peculiar fracture Obtainable only from cold blast pig iron, which is in great demand at. the present' time for chilling work such, as car-wlieels. Thoso most capable of expressing an opinion epoko very highly of its quality in this respect. The results of the demonstration are said to have borne Out all that was 'claimed for the pig iron by the Heskett syndicate, four to live hundredweight of pig iron, 6ent, 'lirec; from tli? ironsand works at Moturoa, was dealt with, a miscellaneous lot' of castings being made, such as cog-wheels. A bright future for the Australian diamond industry was predioted by Mr. 1). Grove, who delivered a lecture on the subject at a meeting of the AVomeu's Patriotic League in Sydney recently. He began by saying that it was not generally known that the Australian diamond was the hardest stone in the world; and was of superior lustre to thoso of other countries. The hardness of the Australian diamond enabled it to scratch the African diamond and the Australian sap. phire with the utmost facility. This peculiarity of the Australian gem defied every- attempt made to make the slightest impression on its surface by any other gem stone. Diamonds had been found at (Jopeton, Staggy Creek, Oakey Creek, and Bingara, in' New South Wales, in sufficient number to fill a buckct many times. That might sound incredible, he said, to those who had seldom, if ever, heard of the Australian garni. It would be very interesting to know how and where they had found a market. For drilling purposes the Australian diamond was most valuable. Tho turbot that were taken to sea by the s.s. Invercargill from Port Chalmers on Thursday, and liberated by Captain Anderson, were caught threo years and eight months ago in the English Channel, west of Plymouth, and wore then at tho least, a year old. In captivity at Portnbello they have grown to from a foot to a foot and a half in length. Marketable turbot at Home ran from 18in. to 3ft. Tho ova of the fish now consigned to New Zealand waters are well developed, and it is hoped that tho turbot will spawn next season. The turbot is a fisheating fish, that swims on the bottom at depths varying from 20 to 30 fathoms. It has the faculty of changing its colour quickly. Some uf tho specimens sent lo sea yesterday were slate-coloured on tho back. They camo nut of a noncrete pond. Others wero darkish-brown, mottled to .something liko the colour of a tortoiseshell cat. The shape of. the turbot is roughly that of the flounder, but wider at the tail, like the English plaice.
