A NOVEL MAGNETO

An ingenious and original magneto unit has been produced by a wellknown British electrical faetory, in the form of a compact unit which is interchangeable with the ordinary coil ignition. The assembly is mount- ! ed vertically, and the driving shaft | is similar to ithat of the .battery ignition distributor, so that any car | can quickly be converted to magneto 1 ignition simply by withdrawing the i battery ignition distributor and | attaching the new magneto. It is elaimed that the device delivers a ! "fat" spark at all speeds, and it is j interesting to find that its armature is stationary, and that it is the magnet which is rotated.

"Wherevor you go in New Zealanrt," writes Colonel ("liaseniore, in a popular London weekly, "you'll find Ihe tobacco af tho eountry on sale. Kven the 'waybaek' country storekeepers keep it in stock. Its popularity is easily aeeouuted for. Although quite moderate in priee it's really as good as it's Vraeked up to be.' The tobacco plant flourishes in various parts of the Dominion, and many a man on the land finds it a profitable. side.line to eultivate ljooause the dried leaf commands a liigh priee per ton and is in steady demand. New Zealand tobacco has won the good opimon of yisiting- experts, and containing- but little nieotine, it is safer to smoke than perhaps any other tobacco. You can mdelg-e ad. lib. without foar of eon.setiuences. This they teil rae, is owing- to the toasting of the leaf, which proee.ss appears to work wonders." Colonel Cliasemore refers to the four brands so familiar to Maorilanders: Navy Cut No. :!, Riverhead Goltl, Cavendish, and Cut 1'lug- No. 10.
