A witness belonging to the Railway Department made the amazing statement in the Police Court at Auckland that the practise of destroying all old tarpaulins, which was caustically criticised some time ago, was .still adhered to, and that under no circumstances were railway goods sold. This very naturally prompted Mr Poynton, S.M., to observe that it was “a silly thing,” to which the witness replied that no such goods were sold when then became second-hand, so that stolen property could readily he identified, all tarpaulins being numbered. ‘“lt is a silly tiling,” repeated the Magistrate—“one of those red tape businesses. ft might save the Department a little trouble to burn those tarpaulins, but numbers of farmers and others would find them very useful and be glad to buy them at a reasonable price, I should think. It seems ridiculous—and wasteful to burn such tilings.”

Mr Constantinesco, a Roumanian, found it was possible to transmit energy through liquid under pressure, so that vibrations at one end could lx? picked up at the other end practically instantaneously. He applied this so that a machine-gun could fire between whirling propellor blades. Forty thousand of these gears were used in the war.
