A curious incident is reported by the Dunedin Star to have occurred in connection with the visit of Cardinal Moraa to the Cliffs on Monday. A fine 801 l belonging to Mr E. B CargiH caught sight of the Cardinal in his soarlet robes, and, not being able to get at his Eminence, went incontinently mad, and had to be shot. The animal was a very valuable one. An American paper says the metal of the future is aluminum, and that in a few years it will displace iron and steel, and revolutionise the industrial arts. It says the world contains ten times as much of it as of iron — every clay bed being ah aluminum mine. It is three times stronger than Bessemer steel-, will not corrode, is ductile, is a third lighter thaa cast-iron, an \ the raw materials for inak> iug it are not worth £€ a ton.
