He is superinterning the putting in of a table wool drier.

[ believe Waitara will shortly produce an inventor, namely, Mr. A. Bow. who has the klea of improving the ordinary garden shears by serrating the edge of one of the blades, thus increasing the cutting .capacity, Mr. RoWe is applying for patent rights. I wish hint every

success in his venture. The Waitara river i,s in full flood. It % is the heaviest for several years. One house near the tennis lawns was flooded, the occupants being forced to take shelter at a neighbor's.
