NEW ZEALAND .V. VICTORIAN CADETS

Dukbdin v June 13. Colonel S&rgood when here held out a hope that the High Sohool Cadets might meet the Cadets of the Sootoh College, Melbourne, In a rifle competition. The difficulty was that the two corps were armed with different weapons. Colonel Bargood has now sent over a number of rifles and a thousand rounds of ammuni tion of the type used m VJotorla, and the idea of the competition has also been taken up by other Victorian schools. It it likely therefore the Otago High Sohool Oftdetß will shortly try their prowess against five or six companies of Victorian Cadets.

ADVANCE OF ELECTRICAL SCIENCE

11 The Times," m a recent Issue, Rives lome details of what was probably the moat remarkable advanoe In eleotrloal lotenoe brought under the notice of the late Mr S. W. M'Gowan, who (s deaoiibed In that journal aa " Director In-Ohief of Telegraphs and Deputy Postmaster- General of Australia," daring his travels. It was an lavo&tlon known &■ phon< p'u fa by means of wbloh electrioal effects are produced under conditions which have hitherto been considered impossible. Among other things, telegraph messages can be transmitted and received through an ordinary line wire, while at the same time other telegraphio messages are being transmitted and reoelved through the same wire by the ordinary telegraph apparatus. It will certainly come ts a surprise to many to learn chat the phonophorlo Instru ments have no conducting cirouit through them, but (his Is nevertheless a faot. The phouophore gives uninterrupted paiaogo to eleotrloal effeota oapable of being associated with sound, although it do3B not permit the passage of electrlo cur rents. The experiments conducted m the la'.e Mr M'Gowan's pre3enoe are held to have demonstrated that the phonophore does much more than the ordinary duplex ing system can do, for it both duplexes and duplexes the wire — that Is to say, it onablea the wire to carry its two messages either In the same or m the opposite direction*. More than ibis, if the line be already working, either dnp'ex or duplex on the ordinal y system, the phonophore tele graph service oan still be added to It, as if the wire were being used for nothlrg ehe. The pbonophures are exceedingly simple and easy to work. Upon the oooaslon of the trials the ordinary oparator at one station was accidentally absent, and the phonophore telegraph was worked by a lad of sixteen, who had no experi ence of It. There can be no doubt (says "The. Times") of the practicability of this ingenious system, which, if used m conjunction with existing telegraph sys tems, would materially Increase their working capacity. In the first of the experi ments alluded to a phonophore meuage was transmitted alone from Folkestone to London Bridge, and there received, working a post office universal relay and ordinary Moree .sounder. lathe second experiment a similar phonophore message was transmitted and reoelved while an ordinary telegraph message was travelling <n the tame direction between tho same stations. In the third experiment a phono phore meieage was transmitted and re ceived while an ordinary te'ograph message wes being transmitted la tbe opposite direction between the same stations. In tbe fourth experiment a phonophore message was transmitted and reoelved between the terminal eUtloue while an ordinary telegraph message was •being transmitted between the two inter* mediate stations . In the fifth and last experiment the line wr.3 dhconneotadat London Bridge and Folkestone, so that the ciroo.lt was absolutely broken, yet phonophore messages weie freely ex ohanged between the' two places. This last service was carried on under ciroum ■tineas In which It w«> Impossible to work the ordinary telegraphs on account of there being no continuous oiroutt In the line.

Second.— The improved plan of hanging the Bhoa upon Btrong strap-hinged hangeia. thus preventing constant breakage. .Third.— ld the matter of fastening the dram or head to the posts by means of a castiron half circle, »nd secured tt the pesta by screws (instead of wooden elects morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased Btrength and durability to. the Mill. Fourth.— -The great advantage of easily raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper by mear*. of a ecrew. The ironß ue of tho most approved pattern; the wheel, pinion, and shake iions being extra strong. The gearing is all plased on the in- side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the I»rge wheel run* ntagina thimble or bor, three inches long o£ Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, wo guarantee thio Mill to be equal to, and m fact sutxrior, m all respects, to any now In ffl. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hnrdte m snsh a manner a? to blow all foul stuff and light grain over fhe hurdle . The side spout delivers the No 1 train at the side, and the No 2 graia at the front of the Mill. The grader can be bo adjusted na to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best grain: The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 wheat* No Farmer or Dealer should b» without one •s they are inraluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also aav« time, mnd by the.thorongh and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, Eoon- repay tho cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising larg 9 quantities of Grata, or Seeds, we wou'd recommend the No 2 Ware* house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be run hy hand as easily at a Farm B : ze, altho igh constructed much heavigr, and made more du-able. Be gnided by oiporionrs of others and order a "Bacino Mill." Ton don't want a bettar xecord than it has. E«ad. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I pnt some bags of wheat ' through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat ( he was highly pleased with the job they made; ~- William Blakib, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVEE SAW ITS EQUAL. . 1 have only used tho " Raoino " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given mo great satisfaction, I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped te work a good many. — -WitLiAM BnooK, Church Hill. Waiworo. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — John Oajssrok, &mfc Crok, Koleo. COULD NOT BAYB A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the " Raolne " Warehouse Fan Mill a gooi trial, and it givea every ea'ieiac- t'on, I consider it & first- rato articlo. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen — F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain). Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip eetd. I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In faot, it is a long way the bsst machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress ia a superior manner any kind of seeds.— -William Littlejohw, Waiwera WOULD *>OT LIKB TO WANT ONE NOW-NO ONE SHOULD. lean confidently recommend the " Racine " Fanners t* do their work well, and with exfcvome facility. 1 would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer ehonld— -David Mackenzie, Waiwera.

SANDER and SONS' EUCALYPTI EX- TRACT.— In protection of the world-wide fame our manufacture has aoquired all over the globe, we publish the following :—Hazard, M.D., Professor of General Pathology and Diseases .of the Mind and Nervous /Jystem, says m an editorial published m the " Clinical Beoord : "— "We have examined half-a-dozen specimens of different manufactures ; the preparation of Sander and Sons was the only one that proved to be reliable and correspond- ing to eoientifio tests." Another concoction called " Refined Extract of Euolalptus " has made its appearance sinoe. This produot Stands, according to Dr Owen, foremost m causing injurious effects. That gentleman communicates at a meeting of the Medical Society of Victoria, that a onild liviDg at Fitzroy became most seriously indisposed through its use. In another case a lady states on the strength of statutory declaration that she suffered cruelly from the effoots of the same concoction. To guard the high reputa- tion of our manufacture we feel warranted m exposing the above faots, and desire the public to exercise care and precaution when buying. SANDFR and SONS— [Advt.]
