According to the Ksw Zealand Herald > Mr Malfroy, the engineer in oharge at • Rotorua, has reported to the Government that the Rotomaluna Lake is flllhiß up veiy fast, It is (10 feet above its original ' level previous to the oru.pt|onof' 1866; 1 and as there is but a narrow strip of land i separating the lake trom the lower end of , the Tarawera rift, Mr Malfroy approhends "that in the event of a large body , of water breaking into tho rift, it might cause some'disturbance." Be mentions one curious illustration in support of his theory. The garden hose at bis residence was left running all night, and in the morninghefoundthewater running down n fissure. At noon the members of his '■ household were alarmed by a succession of thuds underneath the house, which lasted two hours. Tbe theory is that the water found its way into bot ground below the house, and being transformed into superheated steam, caused the disturbances referred to in its endeavor to find an escape. As a result of that un. pleasant experience, Mr Malfroy recom.\ mends the careful watching of the area of hot ground in the vicinity of Lake Bote-mahaua-snme of it so hot that if a stick be thrust into the rubble it (fill be burst into flames in a few Beconds—and," if practicable at a small outlay, have an outflow made from into larawera and ih'u,a' prevent the watev reaching the height at which jt might become a source of danger, It will be remembered (cays the Bawke'B Bay Herald) that Dr, Hector ascribed the disastrous eruptions at Kotorua which destroyed the world-famed terraces, to superheated steam, caused by.water from the lake penetrating to the hot earth through vent holes, andi t wai noted that before the eruption Rotoma* hanaLako was voty high, It would be a i thousand pities, and a disaster to the j whole colony, if such another explosion j flopped, It if to tnal 1 the i Government will lose no time in taking what preventive measures are possible, j

A petition was presented on Tuesday (says the Post), by Mr G. Hutchison, ivhioh was referred to in 'he Bouse, and is llkoly to be again heard of. It was from Peroy Frank Bayley, of Normanby, late Road Inspector m charge of the whole of tho cooperative works on the Kast-road. The petition, which is yeiy voluminous, represents that certain men left the works hurriedly in April last, when pstitiowr had no imprest from which to pay them, He guaranteed their* account 3 at stores, but notwithstanding this they complained to the Premier, and the ultimate result was that petitioner's services were dispensed with. Petitioner produces documents to show that he was required to keep the men on the ground at all hazards, and says that tho men " appeared to knw the intense wish of the Government to keep them," and " used it to obtain higbr prices, threatening petitioner with complaints to ' Dick' Soddon, as they irreverently styled the Hon. Riohard Soddon, Premier of the colony, if he did not concede their demands." Petitioner says he did not feel justified in yielding to these demands, as he could have bad the work better dene by settlers, had he been permitted to employ them, at 25 pet cent._ less cost. Mr Bayley asks for enquiiy into his case,

London, was reported on Friday morniug, A woman had just opened the front door of her house in Mildmay-strcet, a turning off Mildmay Park, to admit her eldest daughter, who had charge of some children, when she appoars to have possessed herself of a dinner-knife, and then made her way to the back bedroom at the top of the house, which had three floors. She seems to have cut her throat with the' knife, opened the top sash of the window, and fluna herself out. A lady living close by heard the crashing of glass, which must have been the bedroom window being broken by the feet of the would-be i suicide, and upo:i turning round saw the poor woman drop headlong to the ground. Several people rushed through the house and found her lying outside tho back door. Her head was doubled under her. A pillow was soon produced and her head laid upon it, Blood was rushing from hor caro, The police and medical assistance wore sent for. The medical man who attended said the out in the throat was not sufficient to cause death, but that the brain-pan was broken that the woman had glass in her head, and that she could not live long. She was scon afterwards removed by the police ambulance to the German Hospital, at Dalston, This, it instated, is the third time that this woman has attempted to take her life, the last time being about twelve months ago. Inquirers at the German Hospital were informed that the woman, whose name is Ellon Pullen, was still alive, She was, however, in a very preoarious con. dition.

A young countryman in the north went to pay a visit to his uncle and aunc and coasins, who were reputed strict teetotallers, During his first moal at his kinsman's house the young man commented on the absence of spirituous liquors. "We are a' temperance folk, yo ken," satd the old man j '• nae liquors are allowed to enter this house." After dinner the old man went upstairs to tako his usual nap, the girls went to the Sabbath school, and the boys wont away to smoke in the stable, As soon as tho aunt found they were alone she put her initial finger to her lips to enjoin silence on the part ot her nephew, . Then, going to the pantry, she drew therefrom a little blaok bottle, and, (Wins; a glass, held it to him and said, " Here, John, tak' a taste o' that, Oor gaidman'a sic a strict teetotaller that I durner let him ken I keop a drop in the hoose—just as a medicine. Sao dinna mention it." A few minutes later the old man cried, "Are you there, John J" Tbe nephew went upstairs, and the head of the house promptly produced a Ration jar of whisky from an old box under the bod, and, pouring out a dram, said, " Teetotallin' doesna a stop me from keepm 1 a wen drap in case o'illness or that; equ here, lad, put that in your oheek, but" (confidently)" not a word about it to your auntie or the laddies," Strolling out of doors, soon after this second surprise, and entering the stable yard, the cousins beckoned their relative into the barn, whore, after fumbling about in the straw for a few seconds, they handed him a black bottle with the encouraging remark; "Tiy a soak o' that cousin i yo'll tind it gude! but not a word to tbe auld folks, for twa mair Infatuated toototallara were never bom."
