" Ojolops" writes in tho Mataura Ensign:—The reporter who wishes to ,l fill up" lays himself out forlon? words Avery good illustration of this art I saw in a Canterbury paper i\ fow weeks ago, A circus was in tho town, end the reporter in referriiii! to tlio music provided, wished to say thatsomo time had elapsed eince a circus band was last heard. Ho put it thus:—"lt is some time tince the town has been treated to a specimen of eqnescurriculous orchestration," This, as a sample of itssoit, it would bo hard to beat.

The Raugitikci Advocate of Monday BaysOn Thursday nest a deputation representing the flax milling industry will go to Wellington with tho objoot of interviewing the Premier, tho .GJiainber of Commerce, and tho Hurbor Board upun mattura affecting the vital interests ot tho trade. Ono or tho übjeots wiiiob they detite to impress upou the Government is tho advisablßUoss of offering an adequate reward for tho invention. ol improved Has cleaning machinery—a sum sufficiently large to stimulate tho inventors of Europe and America to endeavor to eolvo the problem. It is hardly neoessary to shew that even if tho Government Bocured by tho payment of, say, £IO,OOO, tho invention of a maohiuo which would materially reduce thii coat of producing fibre, the increased railway receipts, iviiicli would follow tho ■establishment of the iuduatry, would recoup the piiblie funds withiu a year, upd the financial gain to the community would be immense. TJio deputation « ill endeavor to enlist the interest of tho Uhauiber of Ouuinierce in their effort!) to secure a general reduction of freights, storage charges, etc,, and to aaoti an extent as will. allow of work being resumed at the mills, and they will also urge upon the llarber Board the advisablenosß of mating all the concessions in their powor at once before tne trade has suffered absolute extinction.

How small a place tho world is I Three or four yeara ago we had a series of beautiful red sunsets which were caused, wo are told, by a yolcanio eruption in the l'acilio. Now the notion is started that the influenza epidemic is the result of recent floods in China. The ingenious theory is that the fertile land in tho valley of tho Yellow river was covored with a deposit of alluvial mud, and th it in this mud' countless million# of organic spores were developed by tho refuse of adense population, The germs would be oarried, by merchandise tn 'Buaaia, whence the infection would be carried all over Kucope, and to every part of tho world, —American paper.
