To settle a disputed question as to the predominance of blue eyes and fair hair in Germany, the Prussian Government lately took a census of the schools. Over four millions of children were examined, and it was found that 42,97 per cent, had blue, and 24.31 per cent, brown eyes ; 72 per cent, had blonde hair, 20 per cent, brown and 1.21 per cent, black. Histobicaii ! Tide " Jurors Reports and Awards, New Zealand Exhibition." Jurors : J. A. Ewen, J. Butterworth, T. C. Skinner. " So far as the Colony is concerned, the dyeing of materials is almost entirely confined to the re-dyeing of Articles of Dress and Upholstery, almost useful art, for there are many kinds of material that lose their colour before the texture is half worn. G. Hibsch, of Dunedin (Dtjnedin Dye Wohks, George street, opposite Royal George Hotel) exhibits a case of specimens of Dyed Wools, Silks, and Feathers, and dyed Sheepskins. The colors on the whole are very fair, and reflect considerable credit on the Exhibitor, to whom the Jurora recommended an Honorary Certificate should be awarded." Honorary Certificate, 629 : Gustav Hirsch Dunedin, for specimens of Dyeing in Silk Feathers, &c.
