IMMIGRATION.

Although we should be among the i last to advocate the resumption of State-paid immigration as it obtained in the seventies, when people of any sort, suitable or unsuitable, were poured into New Zealand by tens of thousands j or, indeed, its resumption under any system of selection, however good, until the country has absorbsd the present surplus labor, and created a market for more j still it is not to be denied that until the colony is again in a position to open wide its gates to the influx of population, it is vain to look for anything like rapid progress. No one expects a sick child to possess a healthy appetite, but neither does any one expect a child to grow and thrive without it. So, also, while in the pre sent condition of things we are unable to absorb a large inrush of population, yet without such an accession from without our growth mmt necessarily be a slow one. It needs only to glance at the United States to perceive what Immense benefits accrue to new countries from the influx of population from the older world. According to the New York Immigration Commis sioner, Mr Charles F. Ulrich, Castle Garden has received during the last five and a half years over two million immigrants, of wh m six thousand have been returned to the countries whence they came, as being lame, halt, blind, or otherwise unsuitable. The two millions odd allowed to land brought with them more than 150.000. dollars into the country, and their productive value (says the Commissioner) “ runs into “the thousand millions.” Yet, we are told, “the State Board of Charities, with ample facilities and power, has returned since 1880 only 448 paupers gleaned from the various institutions of New York State.” “ How many of these (continues Mr Ulrich) had passed through Castle Garden is not known to me, although I have endea vored to ascertain. Assume that every one of the 448 came through Castle Garden, does not the wealth and productive power of the vast mass of the millions completely swallow up the pitiful and to-be-pitied 448 ?” Writing on this same subject, our Taranaki contemporary (the Herald) shows that since 1850 over fifteen millions of people have emigrated from Europe —the annual average from the United Kingdom alone being up wards of 200,000. Two-thirds of the whole number (that is to say about ten millions) went to the United States—three-fourths of them in the bloom of life, and about 90 per cent, of the peasant class —while between 1850 and 1884 some 2% million settlers, 84 per cent, of whom were British, were absorbed by the British Colonies. As to the effects of that immigration the same paper says — “The population of Canada has risen from 2,470,000 to 4,560,000, and its commerce from 67 millions sterling to 51‘4 millions; the population of Australasia has risen from 480,000 to 3.220.000, and its commerce from 10*5 millions sterling to iiS’3 millions. The revenue of Australasia rose from in 1850 to in 1884, and that of Canada from to ,£7,940,000 in the same period. In Australasia every settler is found to increase the revenue in the same degree as if £260 had been added to the public wealth, and, speak ing generally, it is estimated that new settlors add to the wealth, revenue, and commerce of a country to an extent equivalent to a pro ductive capital of £2OO per head. All this shows conclusively that immi gration is the very life-blood of a young country, because the incomers “ bring sinew, brain, and capital, and enrich the commonwealth,” and if New Zea land is to keep her place with the other colonies in the race of progress, it be hoves her statesmen to address them selves to the extension of manufactur ing industries, and the spread of settle ment, so that not only may employment be afforded tor the present population, but a demand created for further labor, which will enable the resumption of immisration on an extensive scale.

INTERESTING SCIENTIFIC DIS COVERY.

One of the most interesting recent dia

overics in science is the fact that a r»y of light produces sound A sunbeam is thrown through a lens on a glass vessel that contains lampblack, colored silk or worsted, or other substances. A disc, having slits or openings cut in it, is made Co revolve swiftly its this beam of light, ■ > as t . cut it up, ’bus making alternate fl jihos of light and shadow. On putting the ear to the glass vessel strange sounds are heard so long as the flashing beam is falling oa the vefssl. Recently a wonderful discovery has been made. The beam of sunlight h made to pass thr ugh a prism so ts to produce what is called the solar spectrum or nlnbow. The disc is turned and the colored light of the raiobow is made to break through it. Now placs the ear to the vessel con taining the silk, wool, or other materia'. As the colored light? of the tpictrum fall upon It sound? will ba given by different pait? of the spec turn, and there will be silence in other parts For instance If the vessel cir t Ins red worsted and the green ILht flishes upon it a I md sound will be given. °nly feeble sounds will be heard when the red and blue parts of of the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other colors made no sounds at all Green silk gives sound best in red light. Every kind of material gives more or less sound in different colors and ut'ers no sound la others.

THE GERMANS IN SAMOA.

It has transpired from German official sources (writes the London correspondent of the Argus) that the three treaty Powers interested in Samoa have sent special Commissioners there to pave the way for a definite settlement of disputes. It is significantly staled that these Commis sioners “ have had no share in past disagreements,” still (heir personal quali fications are a pledge that they will report impartially. The consular frictions at Apia appear to be sufficiently seriots to considerably ruffle the Foreign Office at Berlin. An official m t fication in the German Gazelle remarks : “ The English 00-sul is Influenced by the endeavor to annex Samoa to the Colony of Now Zet land, while the man hi herto acting as his American colleague follows the renegade like habit of many of Ivs emigrated countrymen, and takes part against his former fatherland. The three Powers interested in Samoa agree not to alter the status quo without mutual assent, and therefore there can be no question of declaring a German Protector ate over the Islands without (be sane ion of England and America.” This won't! seem to imply that in spi eof many denials the Germans do ready covd ;ha Samoan group, a feeling which msy help to explain the nature th >' sinpuar protocol concluded with the French last December, and which is held by thern to justify their claims upon t'e New Hebrides. Speculation has been frequen ly indulged in as to what quid pro quo Prince Biemark really received for hts apparently purposeless concessions to the French on that occasion.

PREHISTORIC DENTISTRY.

Dr. Martin, of Rome has for some time past been devoting considerable time to examining the shells in the various museums in Italy, and in Etrnacan and Roman tombs; and he gives an account of his investigations in the Independant Practitiorer. la the mins of one of the Etruscan tombs, about the date 600 B c,, he found a partial den ture. It was an arrangement for bolduig in position three upper art fidal teeth 1 y banding them to the adjoining natui; I teesh. These teeth wei« carved out < t some large animal’s tooth. Another den ture found in an old Roman tomb c< n sista of two natural teetli fastened by means of soft gold bands to the contig-- ous teeth. The most recently opened and oldest Etruscan tomb yet dh covered in li.aly was lately excavated at Capadi raonto ; this tomb belonged to the sixth ceniury b c., and amongst a.veral article)! of jewellery a denture, very similar to those above described, was found. Dr Marter was unable to discover any stopped teeth, although many oases of caries and other dental diseases have presented themselves. It is certain that, dentistry must have been extensively practised in the early history of the world, and that gold must have been need largely ; o her wise the early Greek or Roman legislators wcn*d not have mentioned the matter in the celebrated laws of the twelve tables.

AN AMERICAN BORGIA.

Since the terrible revelation in the case t of the child murderer and torturer Jesse t Pomeroy n< thing more revolting has con i £ to light than the charges made against a Mrs Sarah J. Robinson,‘of Somerviilo. a a city ad j scent to Boston. The woman her« self is reported to ha a mild-lookirg ] person, somewhat prominent in socie'.y, . who has had an exemplary reputation. Until recently no susp'cionl has attached to her ; on the other hand, she was re garde i as a pleasant lady, and was even j the obj ct of public sympathy, aroused by the inroads of death in her family. Tis now charged against tlria woman upon strong testimony that aha has successive y poisoned her husband, her ten-year old daughter, her sister, sister’s husband and two children, another daughter, and recently her last remaining child, a young man of twenty four, was lying in-a critical condition. It is even believed by some that she lately poisoned a whole picnic party of 100 people by mixing arsenic with their ice cream, but this does not rest upon proof, nor it is likely to have been the case, as there is an entire absenc n of motive urging her to destroy the pleasure-seekers. In her household murders, however, the mo Ive is very apparent, and is clearly traceable to her overweening greed for money. Each one of the victims of her poisoning operations was insured for £4OO in a mutual benefit life insurance company known as the United Order of Pilgrim Fathers : and it is alleged to be siuceptible of proof that la each case, by the aid of a male accom plice, she succeeded in having the insur ance so adjusted that the money came to her. This Somerville woman deliberately killed her victims for money ; and nearly all were children, either her own or those of relatives wrho were dead, and towards whom s v o stood in the position of gu r dian, It was deliberately followed as a money-msking business, and all her arrangements were carried out vfith

coolness and croft. She does not even seem to ha~e been actuated by a homicidal mania, as was the case wi‘h JVsee Pomeroy, who was undoubtedly as irresponsible for his brutalities as a wild animat. Her crimes were planned with, the almost coolness and deliberation, and w<ra committed at long intervals of time, so as not to rouse suspicion, m wb'ch she was aided by the fact that so m:tny of her victims were children, whose deaths do not attract so much attention as those cf elderly persona. The Albany Evening Journal, In discussing the case, calls attention to another startling fact in this connection. It says that •‘grave yard insurance has given place to child insurance among prevalent insurance crimes,” and that daring the present summer several instances have been re ported in Pennsylvania, the Ohio, and some of the Southern States. —Chicago Tribune.

AT THE CAT OF DEATH.

By a remarkable coincidence (says a London correspondent) both Germany ana France are at the present moment on the eve of important events following on identical circumstances. Both their rulers are at the very gates of death, and any day may bring the intelligence that the Imperial throne Is tenantleas and the Presidentill chair rmpiy. In both cases extraordinary efforts are made to minimise the facts or to hide them altogether. But private letters from the capitals leave no doubt of the condition of the two rulers. M. G-evy, living In the greater obscurity, more completely escapes the public eye But the poor old emperor of Germany is consta itly tumbling about, as with his Idomi a ile spirit he insists npon walking across tle room as if he were a mare chicken of 70 or 80. These occurrences must needs be reported, and from time to time they h i a corner in the news papers. If the Emperor lives till March next he will be ninety years of age, and i? already in a more or less happy state of second childhood. He is fed every two hours with beef tea, jollier, and other savo y compositions which do not require mastication,Jand every d?y Berlin is officially assured that the Empe; or is in excellent health. The old man's tenacity for his position is most pathetic. He will s'iil be Empeior, and above all a soldier Ha will still be dressed in his uniform, booted and spurred and helmeted, and loves above ali things to be helped to a seat near the window whe e ho can watch wi h childish his troops go by . As for M. Grhvy, a mere youth of aevt-n y nine, he for the most part sits iu his chair or hobbles round his garden watting f>r the end. It was a cruel thing to impose upon him ri -election as a President, Bnt it did not suit the Interests of the parties in Franco (o join in the struggle f r the Presidency at the momon' M. first term expired. There will be a fine rumpus In France when M. G'evy dies. It will come in Germany too, but may be postponed for a year or two whilst the Crown Prince has his chance.

iHK ASHBURTON AMMAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1886



We clip th<s following important testimonial from the Iliamarra Mercury (N.S.W.). on the SOth of March. It needs no comment: —Mr Eoveday, of the Bollia Mountain, writes to us that after suffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract. He says seeing.tha said Extract ad vertised in the Illawarra Mercury his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from M* Hosting, chemist, bf this town’, and’that the use o! it gave him great relief at once. He states that between the 10th March instant, when he obtained the first bottle of the extract, and on the 19th, the use of that medicine continued to afford v him relief, to which he bad been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has found the Eucalypti Extract a cure of rheumatism as well as gravel. He requests ns to publish this information through the Mercury. We have much pleasure in com plying with Mr Loveday’s request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who can have no object in view other than a pure desire to benefit suffering humanity.”—(Ann).
