Mr. and Mrs. H. Bayley, of Gisborne, reached Auckland by the s.s. j Manuka, after a ten months’ tour i round the world. ; A new round trip is in store for ] visitors to 'Rotorua. The Tourist Department is making a road to connect 1 Lakes Rotoiti, Okatina, and Tara- | weril, and an oil launch is to l.e 1 ]>lacod on Okatina, which is described as a very beautiful sheet of water fiv) miles in length, right in the heart jf the Maori country. A traveller starring from Rotorua will he aide to eomplete the circuit in one day. It is expected that the road will he completed before the end of the summer. Over tiiiity domestic servants sailed for N.nv Zealand in the s s. Gothic, the girls going out under reduced passage arrangements. In the twelve months from Juno of this year to June of next year Mr. Beeves hopes to send out 2do suitable girls, hut the work of selection is very troublesome. Though a few domestic servants have keen goiig out to New Zealand a fvflat a time for some little while past, the present hatch is by far the largest despatched in response to the advertising of the High Commissioner’s Department. About half the numboi going out on this occasion are being sent under the auspices of the British Women’s Emigration Society. A meeting of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into fires on wool and flax ships has been held, mainly for the purpose of conferring with Dr. J. D. MaoLaurin, a member of the Committee of Scientists who are assisting the Commission with expert advice. The evidence taken, says the Rost, was chiefly confined to the question of the ingredients of the dipping preparations in use throughout the colony, hut it is not yet available for publication. The Commissioners have also obtained in reference to this aspect of the question a report from every stock inspector in the colony, stating the period of “dipping,” and the date of shearing and also a statement of the chemicals and materials employed by the various fellmongers. The Commission intends to procre samples of the “dips” used in the colony, • and have them analysed. During the course of its investigations the Commission has been favored with many suggestions for testing the temperature of hales sent forward for shipment to foreign parts. Only one, however, lias commended itself. It is a simple device. It consists of a spear-pointed threefoot tube, about one-third of an inch in diameter, enclosing a thermometer, iegistering np to 200 degrees. This instrument can easily he inserted into any hale, and a simple contrivance enables the thermometer to be withdrawn and replaced at will. In this way the temperature of any bale of wool or flax can be ascertained almost at a moment’s notice.
