FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.

Tauranoa, November 28

Shortly after 6. o'clock laßt night a fatal boating accident ooourred. Five men, Oalneo Moss, Fitzgerald, MoOandliab, and a Native, were out m the harbor trying » new boat just built for one of the sailing races at the regatta. The boat was oarrying an Immense sail, and when jibbing, was struck by a Btrong gust of wind ard over tamed and sank. A boat put cff from shore and picked up Fi'zgera^d and McOandlish, the former being quite ex hausted, and a sailing boat which happened to be out In the harbor, picked up Mobs and the Native, both having had a etraegle to keep np with their clothing, and heavy boots on. Oalneß was drowned and his bodyisDOfc recovered. He was onable to iwim. Oalnes was about 50 years of ape and leaves a wife. He was a boat builder by trade and had been a resident here for lome years.

Willxngtox, November 28.

On Saturday a deputation consisting of 33 chlefi of the northern part of the North Island waited on the Premier and Native Minister with regard to the posi tion of Natives under the Native Land Administration Act, and asking that the measure should be repealed. The depu tation, which was headed by Major Kemp, laid before Government a daft cneaiura embodying their proposals bat the Minister* stated their inability to oarry through inoh a Bill this ■easion. They promised, however, to bring m a temporary Bill this seaeion, alleviating the position of Natives, and n»xfc session they will bring m a com pretenslve Bill dealing with the whole question. The no-confidence debate commences at 230 p.m., when Major Atkin son moves his motion as to the re vision of the tariff, and when the debate on that question, if any, fs over, the Financial debate, which is next on the Orders of the day, will commence It is not expected, however, that the debate will go much further, and that probably It will close to-night.

FARMERS AND PROTECTION

("Victorian Farmers' Gszatte ")

We clearly reo gnlse that the interests of town and country are identioal. Manu factories present the best at,d surest markets for the products of agricnlture. They diffuse wealth amoo^ all obsaes, and cause money to circulate freely. To give • manufacturer and farmer good prices, and the artisan and the laborer good wages, Is to give them the power to buy, and to give, not only the manufacturer, bnt all claesep, a market for their goods-

The more a nation products, 'ha richer h becomes. Any Increase of domertio pro duction Is an addition of ao much wealth ; any diminution of flomestic produotion la • ■abstraction of so mnch wealth. Pro teoilon secures such Increase of production Freetrade In England hat thrown one fourth of her wheat area ont of cultivation. It has extinguished her dairy farming, her frolt and vegetable, and all other minor Industries, It has enabled foreigners to flood her markets with cheap and nasty goods. Protected manufacturer* add •nother population to the agricul tural, and theie give rise to oommetoe and shipping with their kindred m dmtrles, and thus euperadd another population. These several classes re-aofc favorably upon and tupport other clauses, professional men, bankers, literary men, miners, brokers, clerks, and so forth. We do not grudge the manufacturers and artUani of Melbourne their present pros fierlty. On the contrary we rejoice In t. All we advocate la that the advan tages of the cty and irural population should re playedf on an equitable basis as Regards Protection. No one will deny that Che Interests of town and country sire' Independent. A Q y causa that unduly presses on the one must injure the ptber. An inequitable tariff does this JPrbtectFop In'' America,' Canada, and rails har been the foster-mother of agricultural progress and procperity.

A RICH KIMBERLEY GOLDFIELD

Mr A J. Miller, one of the principal shareholders In the Jackson's Beef Com pany, K'tnberloy, was a paeaeDgpr by the Otway from Derby, and la now staying m Perth for a few d»ya prc-vLus to resuming hia journey to Melbourne. Mr Miller Informs us that tho crushing machinery f r the reef was successfully landed at Wyndham, and conveyed to Kimberiey, where it was erected and nearly reHdy for work when he left the field. The state of Mr Miller's health requiring that he should immediately proceed to Melbourne, he did not wt»it for a l'«rtre ciushing by the new machinery. Soma experiments wen? made, however, wiih stono from the reef, but which, though rough and uncompleted, gave some re m»rk»bie reunite. A quantity of qua" a, abont half a ton m weight, yielded 24£ z, or at the rate of 49 zto tbs ton. A champagne case fall of the stone, weigh ing about lowt, gave a return of B!bs of gold, which is equal to the* remarkable rate ol 1920iz to the top. Of oonrse, the aotual capabilities of the reef can only be ascertained after a series of regular ofushings on the spot. It is clear, however, that the atons is, m some parti at all events, of extraordinary riohness One of the shafts of the O impiny'a o'aim is 60f down on the reef, whion is alre uh 11 t widu, alihush at yet Dot fuly developed. Mr Miller brings aevt"a°' samples of the stone with him, m which the gold is uot immediately visible to the naked eye m consequence of the presence >t a ffiTnqinjns oxide, of a re:l oolor. On touching the stone with acid trace* of the precious metal can be seen, and v technically known aB " fl iur gold," owing to the m ; nuttn«Ba of the particles, ami which are distributed throcuhoat the curious looking substance yclept the atone. It is said that this substance closely resembles In general appearance that whioh has proved so wondrously rich a Monot Morgan. Queensland — " Western (Perth) Mail"

VEGETARIANISM AND FOOD REFORM

On September 22 iv, a largely attended public meeting, convened by the Londou Auxiliary of the Vegetarian Society tt iroclam the principles of food reform wbb held at tho Horton Temperance Mission Hall, Hoxton street- The ch^lr was occupied by Me A. E. Hills, who, io opening the proceedings, aaia he wanted to dispel the assumption that vegetarians lived entirely upon vegetables. As a fact vegetables formed a very Btnall portion of the diet of vegetarians. It would be a grand thing for the poor of this country when they realised the uadoabted fact that meat was not necessary to fill np the fcyatea. One pound of wheat possessed the s* me amount of nutriment as three pounds of meat, and whilst th« three pounds of meat coat at least 1* 61, th» pound of wheat coat only a penny. Th« principal food of the vegetarian consist d of good wholemeal bread, fruit, and nots. When the truths of vegetariantsu were universally accepted the people would enj y freedom from disease and

live better lives m every way than now. If they wanted their •hlldren to grow Dp like lions and tigers they should give them plenty of meat, but if they desired them to grow up strong, earnest boys and girls they should keep them away from meat, and give them fresh fruit, groin and note. Be went on to argue that it was a Bin against God to kill animals to provide them with food, and cone tided by mov.ng, ''That vege tarianism ia based on tbe bed-rock of science and the divine law of lore." The resolution w»s seconded by Mr Couchmap, a gentleman 84 years of age, who said he had not laited meat for more than 30 years, and was satisfied that hia rtfiain lug from doiDg so was the oeoret cf hie er. joying s;ch excellent health. The resolution was adopted. Several other addresies wete given, and the following resolutions were agreed to ; — l. " Tha r vegetarianism ia the most rational and radical method of grappling with our national vices." 2. " Thnt it is the true secret of health and wealth" 8 "That fruit, grain, and nu*s are iho solution of our auricaUu>al and industrial di(n>ul-

ties." Durin:/ the eveniop a varltty of vegetarian di>hes were handed round for tasting, and the proceedings, which wen> enlivened with a selection of vocal and Instrumental mv 10, cosed with- a vote of thanks to t* «*v> ■•«•••■ m

Tho ttwrer ot a paper lay dying m his I.'iir, and 'he dews of d. ath had gathoied on his br w so calm and Mr ; hut a printer knelt lodide him, as Lis life-blood ebbo i away, and fiskcd the dying writer if hi had aught to say The doomed man murmured voftly, as he grabbed the prntei'afiat : — " Well, atlastthestrugglos's over, and 1 never will be missel. ake a message and a tok»n to that c ty man of mine, that all hie worn out funny bits he had better pot m brine There's bis joko about the weather, which he's used these ina*>y years, and tbo gag about the fellow who is always hunting be^rs.

PARISIAN GAT-KILLERS.

" G*t-kl!lora " sro numerous, but the few who monopolise tho tradw make a great de»' of money out of it.

Their skins are sold to fcrriers and their flash to the kee era of eating houses m the eubarbs, where " ta^bit-fltew " is a favorite dish. But for stewed rabbits one liken to be satisfied that' a buony has been sacrificed, bo tho workmen whe del'ght iv this dainty require to bpo * rabpit's head as a proof of the hona fides of tin* diah This would i>D2zle an ordinary individual, but the " cit. killer " is a ga'iiua, and a French' man, and is not bo easily dispoaod of.

By this ingenious method hs ia enableii to send out to his ouetomers two or three cats' bodies minus tails, with each rabbit's head, and one more dainty dish la added to the Parisian meim, and eight or ten shillings to the well-filled parse of the exterminator of the Mine race.

MR EDISWS LATEST IN VENTION

Mr I£di«on (aaya n correspondent of the l Time3") ha? just crowned hlB remarkable series of iuventious by anchor whloh promises t> work a revolution Id our present methods of dynsmo con&tr notion. He has, m faot, solved a problem which has ocoup e4 tbe attention of electricians for some time past — tbe problem, namely, >>f direc ly tranbforming beat Into eleotricity — of doing away, m short, with tbe existing o'umay m-thod of first trans forming heat into motive power by a steam-engine, and using that motive power to drive a dynamo. Mr Edison uaes the heat at first hand. It is the beat itself which drives the dynamo and generates •ho current m it. Hence tbe name 'pyro magnetic," whleh he bas given to the new dynamo and motor, which he brought to the notice of the scientific world at the recent meeting of the American •Vasoclation for the Advancement of Science. As the invention ia ttlll being perfected, we need do little more now th >n explain the principle upon which it ts baaed. It has long been known hat h-at affects the magnetio properties of certain mentis to a considerable degree, notably of Iron, cobalt, and nickel. A pieoa of iron, m f&ot as haß been shown by Professor Hughes, loses its magnetio property when heated to a cherry red, bat regains it on cooling again. It is also known that any variation of the intensity of tha magnetic field pmducoß an electrfo current m a conductor situated m the field. By ingeniously combining these two fact*, Mr Kdieoo has produced an eipctrio motor and a dynamo, m both of which heat is directly applied to vary the intensity ot a magnetic field, and thus to produce an electric current ia the one case, and motive pi wer m the other. Tha motor Is the simpler machine of the two, and con* siats essentially of a permanent magnet having a bundle of small iron tubes placed between its poles, and free to rotate on on axle at right angles to the plane of the mapntt, like the armature of an ordinary dynamo. The walls of these iron tubes are very thin, and hot air ia sucked through them to beat tbem up. The arrangement is such that when all tbe tubes are heated iv this way, there is no motion of the bundle— or, aa we may term it, drum — upon its nxle. Bat by meanß of a Bcrepn cutting < S the heat frcm a part of the bundle of tubes, and revoving round an axle, tbe symmetry of the arrangement id destroyed, and the bundle or drum beiog part cold and part h.ot — that la to say, part magnetio and part non magnetic, falls under the unequal influence of the two poles of the permanent magnet and begins to rotata on its axln. It beoomeß m fact, a magnetio, or rathtr, a pyro-aiagnetlo motor. In the generator, which is based on the same principle, tbere are eight electro-magneta arranged radially, aDd having m front of their polea two disks of soft iron wound round with eight rolls of fine wire. When tbe electro-magnets are exited, these disks bee me magnetio by induction and a '

current is generated m the wires. The whole la exposed to the heat of a furnace, and the hot a r traversing •he disks and rolls, demagnetises the disks. By the use of Roreons, however, part of the heat is cut off intermittently, »nd thus, by restoring and taking awny the magDet o property of the disks, by catting nff acid letting on the heat, &n electric curreo Jb maintained m the rolls of wire and onUeoted by means uf a oom mnta*or, aa m or^in-ity dynamos. The fi ft|m >tor constructed on this new prin* cip'n wae h-att d by two BuDsen burners ard developed a power of about 95 kilo grammeties a minnte, A larger one weighing abont 750 kilogrammes, and eivlng about three horße-povrer, m nearly finished. Tbe re^olrs hitherto obtained show that the expense of fuel for the lame electric euerpy wi<h tbe pyro magnetic dynnmo will be equal to or less than with the ordinary dynamo and I engine. Moreover, the new power of the new dynamo will be leßs, weight for weight, than that of the ordinary dynamo ; | but, on the other hand, tbe pyro-magnetio dynamo will allow of the wa&+e heat being utilised for other purposes, such as beatmg the building, and bo on,.
