An electric heating plant of great power is being used in the Wellington streets for welding tramrails together at the ends, on a line that is now being laid along Lambton quay. This welding not only fills the usual space between the ends of the rails, and leads to smoother running, but it also gives a complete medium for the return circuit, thus doing away with the expense 1 ' of the copper band usually laid for this purpose. The glar e from the arc welder is so intense that it is dangerous to the eyesight, and the operator has to wear strongly tinted glasses. Pas-sers-by are warned by a notice on the little cabinet surrounding the operations, not to gaze on the light.

“You: wi)l notice,” said a police officer to a Wellington f, Post” reporter on Wednesday, pointing fo a newlyinstalled system of heavily bagged steam piping leading from the furnace room to thp tiers of cells, “that we are providipg additional home comforts for the benefit of those who come to stay for a night or t«’o. We never need to advertise these lodgings; we do not want the lodgers, and as a rule they do not want to come, but there are generally a few names on the guests’ books before morning.” This heating of the cells is a new thing to j Wellington, and indeed to most lock-! ups and gaols, but officials consider | that it is a step in the right direction, j Armchairs and other comforts of the ! home beautiful will not be provided. i A phristchurch correspondent says— One of the most interested visitors at the Show pn Thursday \yas his lency thp Govprnor-General. He .evinced a lively interest in all sections pf the Siiow, and in characteristic manner i succeeded in making himself one of the crowd. This led to an awkward moinent on the part of one attendant- : While the judging of dairy produce and j cookery was in progress, one back door was left open. An elderly gentleman sauntered through, and was greeted by a remark from the attendant that “You can’t come in here yet, mate!” Then iiis Excellency’s staff and others accoin- • panying him arrived on the scene, and ihe attendant felt that he had emulat:d the famous Bill Adams, who had\ nice stopped the Duke of Wellington, rhe Far} qf Liverpool appeared to en-1 oy the situation better than anyone ( ilse. j Let your motor car run upon the >est—Clincher Cross Tyres.

Mr Joseph Voyce, who has been an inmate of Westport Hospital for some time, passed away on Thursday morning Re was an Englishman by birth, 71 years of age, and had resided in New Zealand for 41 years. He is survived' by a family of nine. A general meeting of Mr T. E. Y. Seddon’s election committee will be held at the County Chambers at 7.15 o’clock to-morrow evening. A full attendance is invited. The business will include arrangements for Mr Seddon’s political address at Hokitika next week. The death occurred in the Westport Hospital on Thursday morning, of Mr Bartholomew P. North, aged 32 years. Death was due to internal troubles. Deceased was a native of Dunganville, near Grey mouth. For a time he was on the electrical staff at Westport-Stockton powerhouse. He was also a linesman in the Post and Telegraph service. Rumors are floating round Wellington says a Westport paper, that Admiral Jellicoe advocates important defensive works at Westport, including the installing of big guns at Denniston. It is not certain whether Westport is to be a naval base or whether the base will be Picton, with direct railway connection to Westport.

“Is the lack of coal in the country due to the activity of the Labour agitator?” was a question asked of Mr Semple at the conclusion of his meeting at Newtown. “The same old wornout silly argument,” remarked the candidate. “I would like to know your answer, Mr Semple,” replied the elector who put the question; “I am deaf.” (Laughter.) “No!” stentoriously roared the candidate. (Uproar.) The returned soldiers did not display a wide interest in the meeting held ot, Saturday night at the Overseas Club regarding bee-keeping. Mr John Murdoch of Ross was present and gave a large amount of instruction regarding keeping and handling bees, and at the conclusion of his address was thanked by Mr Evans for his kindness in coming forward to assist so ably in such a matter. The Government Instructor is expected to be here next week and will give a public demonstration of the handling of bees and instruction as tc their treatment.

In 1867 they left for Hokitika and later on removed to Charleston, where they lived for two years, then going to Granity where they haye since resided. Of descendants there are 10 sons and daughters surviving out of a family of 12, 22 grandchildren and two great \ grand-children. I The veil of secrecy which the navj 1 cast over its work during the war was responsible for an amusing incident in connexion with the part played by Cap tain A. F. B. Carpenter, commander o the Vindictive, in the raid on Zeebrugge on April 23rd, 1918. Lieuten-ant-Conlmander R. Bourke, V.C., R.N.V.R., who told the story during a lecture at the Auckland Navy League Rooms last week, explained that Captain Carpenter’s wife knew nothing of the pending raid. When the Vindictive reached Dover, with Captain Carpenter practically unhurt, a friend telegraphed to Mrs Carpenter “‘Operation a success, Captain Carpenter well.” Mrs Carpenter immediately telegraphed to the Admiralty enquiring the nature of the operation her husband had undergone, and how he was progressing,
