Mr Mark Herman has declared that none of the alleged New Zealand dia monds submitted to him are genuine. Mr P. Cunningham’s cablegram is not yet to hand. The latest new sensation in the matter of electric railways, says “ in the Leader, is supplied by Professor George Forbes, of Edinburgh, who has declared that it is not impossible to per form the journey between London and the Scottish capital in three hours and a half. He might as well have said two and a-half, and then have struck off the fraction or have left it standing by itself, the non-impossibility being as applicable to one term as another. But he goes further, and declares that he hopes to live to perform the journey himself in the three hours and a-half smoothly and without jolting. Progress is surely not to stop when he dies, and why should not the next generation go faster still? It is very good policy to seize Time by the forelock, but such enthusiasts as the Pro fessor woul i grasp Time by the hair that has not yet grown. The origin of this last outburst is to be found in a paper pub lished by Mr Barnet Le Van, in the United States, in which he claimed to have demon strated the possibility of running an or dinary train at the rate of 100 miles an hour, and of course it is easy for one electrician to outbid anothtr on a mere question of possibility. The new idea is to apply the dynamite force to every wheel in the train separately, and to dis pense altogether with a locomotive of any kind; but it is only an idea, the electric motors to perform such work not having been yet invented. The electric railways already in operation aie very humble affairs, and it is not easy to get anything like reliable information about them. What is called a curious incident ” oc curred lately on the Portsmouth line. It



appears that only a part of the line is fur nished with electric conductors, and a steam engine as well as the electric loco motive is used. There was an accident to the steam engine, owing to the bursting of a boiler tube, and an electric locomotive was sent to the rescue. The two electric locomotives brought the damaged steam engine back in triumph to the station. The enly thing that is curious about this incident is that the so-called electric rail way is not exactly an electric line, else why is the ordinary traffic carried on by steam 1 The electric railway is so far only a puny child, and yet it is always spoken of as if it were really a giant.

The Standard's , correspondent writing from Moscow says This morning I witnessed a wonderful display of horse manship. It took place in the Petrovsky Parky Here, in the presence of the Grand Duke 'Nicholas and most of the foreign officers, the Guards went through an extraordinary series of exercises, which threw the most daring feats of the circus in the shade. The entire regiment went past at fall gallop, in loose order, with many of the men standirg upright in the saddle, others upon their heads with legs in the air j many leaping on to the ground and them into the saddle again in full speed, some springing over their horses’ heads and picking up stones from the ground, and yet regaining their seats. While performing these feats all were brandishing their sabres and firing pistols, throwing their carbines into the air and catching them again, and yelling like maniacs. Some men went in pairs, standing with a| leg on each other’s horses—one wild fellow carried . off another dressed as I a woman. The effect of the scene was absolutely bewildering, and it seemed as if the whole regiment had gone mad. Upon a signal being given the regiment divided into two parts. One rode off, the other halted and made their horses lie down oh thb groiibd and lay beside them, waiting, as ip war the approach of the enemy. The other'section of the regi- ,£ben„(&arged , and in an in stant every jborse was on its feet, every zidejftmhfs saddle, and, with, wild yells, they' at their supposed Whence manoeuvres were over the.regi ment rode past singing, and uncommonly, well together, a military chorus.
