NEWS AND NOTES.

At an early date 26,000 acres of good pastoral country, extending from the Tangoio settlement up to the Tutira Lake, will be thrown open for selection (says the Napier' Telegraph). The land is Crown estate, and the present lease, held by Dolhel Bros., falls in almost immediately. The country is at present carrying one sheep to the acre, but can be easily improved by clearing and cultivation.

At Los Angeles on July 31, Charles Maatz lay in bed petrified with astonishment while his trousers flopped off a chair, wriggled across the floor, crawled up the wall, and vainshed through the transom. When Mantz recovered from his surprise he leaped into the hallway. The pants were there, but a sum of 17 dollars was missing from the pockets. A "f&h-hook" burglar had done the work with a drop-line.

Growth has been remarkably good, and the early sown crops are looking a picture of healtci. Grass is coming away splendidly, and if the good season continues, Southland farmers are in for a record year. Dairy factories that have resumed operations have made a most auspicious opening; in fact, record intakes for this time of the year are said to be fairly common.—Southland Times. A LETTER ALL LADIES SHOULD READ. "I have used your Rexona Soap for myself and my little girl (4 years old), and I find it a great healer of Dandruff, as well as softening and promoting growth of hair, and keeping the most sensitive skin in healthy and excellent condition," writes Mrs, L. Blythe, 6 Marion-street, Caversham, Dunedin, N.Z. "Under troublesome climatic conditions, hot and cold, it has far exceeded my greatest expectations as I have used so many varieties of similar articles, but I must honestly and faithfully admit that your Rexona Soap stands unequalled above them all. I conscientiously think any lady who reads these few lines of gratitude, and gives your Rexona Soap one trial will echo my praises of its virtues"

Rexona is as sweet, wholesome and pure as the mountain dew. To use it for the daily bath, or even to wash the hands and face with it, is to furnish the skin with a tonie and antiseptic of unquestionable value. Rexona Skin and Facial Soap is a refreshing, soothing, healing, antiseptic Soap, medicated on the same principle as the famous Rexona Ointment. Price, 1/6 per tablet. Obtainable everywhere. Some weeks before Mr. Massey announced his intention to introduce legislation in Parliament to debar alien enemy subjects from teaching in New Zealand, a remarkable episode happened in one of the Wellington schools, and it has since been under the consideration of the Secret Defence Committee (says the New Zealand Times). A teacher of German extraction who, by the way, had two brothers in camp at the moment training for one of the reinforcement drafts, was conducting a senior class, when the lesson turned for some reason on the war now in progress. It is alleged that the teadher impressed upon his pupils the fact that they were not to believe the stories being told about German brutality and excesses. Then he went on to improve the occasion by asserting that whatever was said against the Germans, serious allegations rested against the British troops in connection with the Boer War. The man had got thus far in his discourse when the children took a hand in the performance. With one accord they interrupted him; they refused to allow him to go -any further, and finally, after singing "God Save the King," they broke up the class. The incident was brought under the notice of the Defence Committee, and while the matter was being considered, the training of the teacher's two brothers in camp is said to have been temporarily suspended.

A 3in disappearing gun for submarines lias been perfected by the Ordnance Bureau of the United States Xavy, and In future all American under-water craft will be equipped with such weapons for' surfaco fighting. The carriage of the new gun, it is explained, operates like those of disappearing guns in snore batteries. The weapon is raised through ports in the deck by electric machinery,

and after flrinpc is carried quickly back into place by its own recoil, the same force closing the water-tight hatch as it disappears. The new gun is made shorter than the regular 3in riavy gun to meet space limitations. This reduces its range somewhat, but it has been fitted for very high-angle lire, wliieh will give it some chance for use against aeroplanes.
