We read ol showers of steel arrows being sent upon the enemy's troops Irom aeroplanes. They are small steel darts, about the* thickness of a carpenter's pencil, lioedlo-poiutud and heavy. At first they wuro thrown by hand from aeroplanes and they were so effective that an improved method ol discharge was devised. It is said that they are now enclosed in bombs, ami they scatter in all directions on the bursting of tho bomb. Gathering impetus in their fall, they strike with a remarkable penetrating force, and are much more deadly than any other projectile that is portable in an. aeroplane. A report from England sonic two months ago said these arrows lvei'o being manufactured by the ton. and they are in u«e on tho battlefields. A leading Masterton grocer infomred a Daily Times representative that butter will probably reach Is 6d to Is 8d per !b wholesale during the coming winter. This means that the retail price will be about Is 9d per lb. Tlio high price will be due to the abnormal trade conditions brought about by the war. and the scarcity in some district? owing to the drought. This view i> not endorsed by those interested in the butter industry.
