Now working its way dowji the Awaitj canal stop-bank towards KerepeW is one of the Lands Drainage Department’s land-dredges made by the .American firm of Bucyrus. For three years its big internal combustion lengine has been worked 20 hours a day and six days a week, and in that time its bearings have not required or been, given an overhaul. At Regular intervals the valves have .been ground and carbon deposits removed, and op one ; occasion curiosity tempted the dredge crew to remove-a piston to examine the cudgeon and big end bearings. They were founjd to be in excellent order. Now that the machine is approaching the depot and fitting shops the opportunity will be taken to take the engine* down for examination, but it is pjot expected that? more than the usual valve grinding?and decarbonising will be necessary. We fools buy things we caai’t afford, And sneer at old-time ways ; When naught, remains for bed and board We fall on evil days. But commonsense through all survives, When bad colds we endure. We save a coin to save our lives With Woods’ Great Pei^ermint; Cure.
