A Calculating Machine. — We (Otago Daily Times) have been shown a most ingenious little calculating machine, recently patented by Mr Leonard Stowe, of Wellington, by which it is alleged that additions of pounds, shillings, and pence can be made with surprising celerity, far exceeding anything that can be done by the quickest calculator. The machine is enclosed in a small mahogany box about 15 inches by 0. Three rollei 8 worked by brass hand'es are covered at regular intervals with figures and enclosed by a plata of glaes. At one end of the box is a brass plate with holes, through which figures appear, either on turning a small button alongside the holes, or at intervals on turning the rollers. The figures under the brass having been put at 0, the rollers are turned in a particular maianer to the numbers required to be added, and the answers come out in shillings and pence or pounds and shillings as the case may be. The machine requires some practice in usiDg it, but is simple enough to be easily understood. The calculator, under the name of the " New Patent Adding Machine," has been brought out in London by Messrs Stave "Broß., of 32 Esbox street, Strand. The New Zealand Times tells of aa old lady named Crowe, residing in Tory-street, who haa of late been making Jquite a nice income by fortune-telling. The bee can deliver a stinging retort, and yet keep its mouth Bhut. This is where it has the advantage of tbe campaign orator. Learning is well enough, but it hardly does to give a £1000 education to a £1 boy.
