According to a Melbourne contemporary, Mr Wui. Dale lias arrived in Melbourne from £Few Zealand, for the purpose of patenting an invention, which, if as successful on a large scale as it is in the model shown, will be of very great benefit. The invention is for weighing on board ships, and is a discovery and adaptation by Messrs Ruff and Simmons. Mr Dale exhibits a model of a vessei floating in water, and every pound weight put oa board, no matter in what part of the vessel, is indicated on a dial by the pointing of a hand. The dial may be placed in any part of the ship, and by a glance at any time when at sea the captain can tell if the ship is leaking, and to what extent. During an examination a medical student was asked the question, "When does mortification ensue ? " and replied, '•When you pop the question and are answered ' No/ " Let cynics say what they will, man is not vindictive. Here, for years, we have been subjected to the .daily torture of wearing a hat, and we have not even preserved the name of the wretch who invented it.
