An accident of a most unusual nature befell Mr H. Hammond at Wiltsdown last'week. He had been usin| sodium chlorate in conjunction with lime as a top dressing, and apparently some of the mixture worked into his boots. When be put his feet near the fire the socks immediately burst into uames, causing severe bums; Mrs Hammond, in helping to put the flames out, had her hands burned, The 'level of Lake Coleridge cop* tiriues to fall largely owing to the winter conditions prevailing on the lake watershed, the flow of rivers and streams being impeded and lessened by conditions. . This week’s level is 1C662.773ft, which it 9,225 ft below overflow, level; last week the lake level was at 1663.3 ft. ■ Blit for the fact that the stand-by plant atLyttelton is being run for ’two shifts daily; a greater decrease in the lake > level would have been' recorded tins week. : It is considered by the authorities , that, ’the position doe ; not warrant anxiety being felt as to any shortage of power, : , .

Thousands of people saw one incident. in the Rugby League Test match at Carlow Park between England - and New Zealand, but few. know the sequel. Sullivan, the English captain;, kicked the ball hard and unnecessarily to send it sailing into the Auckland Domain. Perhaps he felt a bit annoyed at the time, partly for the reason that he had missed a couple of goal shots and did not like the shape of the ball.. With another ball the game was continued. The ball that sailed high into the Domain bush was not seen again by its owners, and it might be some small Auckland boy appropriated it as a souvenir of the occasion, " Sullivan’s kick caused the English team ai loss of £l, the value of the ball. The amount has been debited by the New Zealand Rugby League to the English team's account. •- We specially draw your- attention to the special lay out price list of Schroder and Co. .
