A discmle of • tho' simple life, with all the characteristics of his kind, caused amusemont in tho city this morning,' says an Auckland exchange. He was passing through Auckland on his way abroad, but took advantage of a few; hours ashoro to advertise the beauties of tho simple cxistenco by selling pamphlets. His clothes were limited to a' shirt and loin cloth, his feot and head being bare. Small boys would see a similarity to characters in illustrated, Biblo stories, his long hair and beard accentuating this impression.. He entered a fruit shop, and there installed himself in a corner to cat dates and fruit—evidently the diet of his kind. The_ individual attracted the attention of a largo crowd, which had to bo "moved on" by tho police, and not until he returned to tho wharf, did he free himself from an interested following. He has evidently been-to the Islands, where ho has chosen a field for lur simple existence, but is returning to his oversea home, probably to advocate the attractions of living in tho opon with a few clothes and feeding on milk and honoy.

Tho greatest steam locomotive in the world has been put into service by tho Baldwin Locomotive Works (says the "Popular Scienco Monthly"). It is so gigantic that its boilers had to be mado flexible at three different joints so that flic locomotivo . could turn around a curve. It is more than 100 ft. long, and woighs some 450 tons. Twenty-four driving wheels, each standing as high as an average-size man, afford it traction. The driving wheels aro distributed along the length of tho locomotivo in sets of four pairs, tho whpels of each set being, coupled together and driven by two giant steam cylinders. Under full steam the locomotivo can exert an 8,1-ton pull on the carß behind it, which means that it _ can-easily haul a freight train two miles long land 23,000 tons in weight over an ordinarily good roadbed at an averago rate of about 14 miles an hour, and possibly more. Bad roads will retard it only slightly.
