At Rockhampton cyclone did much damage to town. Roman Catholic Cathedral was struck by lightning, and steeple serionsly damaged, Congregational Church was unroofed. ‘ The broomstick train,’ —the electric car operated by the overhead trolly system —had just been introduced to Aberdeen, when two farm servants came to the Scotch city to spend a holiday. They made their way at once to the terminus of the street railway, and looked with much wonder at the new creation. Finally they resolved to have a ride. At the end of the ride one of them expressed their united opinion. ‘ Wull,’ he said, ‘this is a graun’ invention. In Edinburgh I saw them drive the cars wi’ an iron rape aneth street; in Dundee they pu’ them wi’ an engine j but, michty man, wba waad ’a’ thocht they could ca’ them wi’ a fishing rod !’

The trial of a thin back cross cut saw is reported in the North. Logs of whitepine, rimu, and rata were cut through, and in each case the rapidity with which the saw did its work was a suprise to the onlookers. The saws are made in Canada of beautifully tempered razor steel, and are in various lengths from sft to 7ft. The easy working of the saw is explained by its thin tapering back and the beautiful set of the teeth, which are easily regulated by a patent appliance supplied with each saw. The resistance becomes confined entirely to the cutting point of the saw, and the steel is such that it will cut half as long again as any other saw, and then be sharpened with ease and uniformity. The ‘Public Health Engineer,’ in referring to the deaths from sunstroke during the military manoeuvres at Aidershot, says that much may be done to prevent such fatalities by the use of suitable foods and drinks. Unfortified cider or seltzer and soda water form a cooling drink, and for works and factories nothing can beat the practice adopted by many humane employers of sending round cans of (cold mixed} oatmeal and water, in the proportion of about |lb to 11b of oatmeal to two or three gallons of water. Good cold water so treated may be taken without fear of internal chill, and the effect of thirst relief obtained is far more enduring than when cold water alone is taken.
