IRRIGATING THE PLAINS.

■Wt ate very pleased to see that the * County Council has not lost sight of the irrigation question, than which we «re persuaded that there is none of , greater importance to which it can turn ftfcattentiqni The chairman's remarks oni&e^ijbject coincide very much with « tM Tfews'expressed by ourselves m a f©cent leading, article, m which we advocated that experiments should be conducted fry the Council itself, with a view to demonstrating beyond all doubt tfclt irrigation will pay, and so securing t|p^upport of the ratepayers for a com plete system applicable to the whole county. Mr Walker agrees with ub a$ to this point, and says—" Without a practical test of the results attainable,, tnd the actual cost to the farmer, no system of •"irrigation is likely to be adopted involving a loan." He then goes on to suggest that either the Council-should adopt the plan we have »dYO&tqd,vi£-, that of making experi ments on a small scale itself, or that it •hould ask the authorities of the Agri- Cultural College and the County Council ot Selwyn to unite with it m ttakjng experiments conjointly. Either of (nese plans would meet the - case^ — though for ourselves we prefer the former. It is still more satisfactory to find that the Council showed a willing ness to respond to the Chairman's sug gestions, and the reference of the question to a Committee to report on the matter is, we hope, but the prelude to its being heartily taken up, vigorously., . proceeded with and thoroughly carried out. For we are persuaded that the benefits which #buidi result can scarcely , be over estimated, indeed the results we verity believe would more than fulfil the ex pectations pf the most sanguine. For the experience of other countries shows that an ample supply of water m such a climate and with such soil as that of this county is the one thing needful to render the land wonderfully productive, And no better instance m proof need be cited than that of the results Attained by a complete system of irri jAtiqn on the plains of Lombardy. We referred to this when previously Addressing ourselves to this subject, and we have now before us as we write a letter addressed to Mr C. J. Harper by a gentleman well-known m Canter bury — Mr George Buckley, and which has been kindly placed at our disposal, some extracts from which will, no doubt, be perused with much interest. Writing m August last, Mr Buckley, referring to a visit which he paid to Italy some years ago, says — '• I closely examined the Lombaidy plains and rivers, which are much like those of Canterbury. .... The tract of country between the Po and Milan ie much like that between the Ashburton and Si&3v all heavily irrigated, pro ducinggimmense crops, chiefly grass, four, aod five cuttings m the year, sup jMfhirfe large herds of milch cows, which fte; all Stall-fed. The railway stations m that' part are quite a sight with the quantity of butter and cheese awaiting transit. The country lower down, |offfafds Verona, is patchy, m many parts poor, nothing but pure shingle, still ieith-an-ample supplyof water ibexget heavy -crops, irrespective of a dry season. The head waters of the Po, and Jhe larger rivers, are all tapped wher? they emerge from the mountains, leading the water on to the plains, and, from personal observation, there should be no difficulty m treating the Kakaia-and the Rangitata m the same way. Almost worthless country m Italy gives heavy crops, chiefly of grass, and the Canterbury Plains, with an ample supply of water m summer, would, ; so ;-, increase the value of the land that -T- am -sure the owners would find they could well afford to meet the interest and sinking fund required to obtain a loan necessary to carrj out faHfwoiks for the purpose. At present |M Surplus water all runs to waste, and after your experience of the benefits already obtained from your temporary w*6rks^ you should now, if possible, go m for complete works. There is no want of water m the two large rivers, the Rakaia and Rangitata, and the dams and intakes could be made at little more expense to give an almost unlimited supply. . . . In Lom b«dy they irrigate both m the summer ana winter, m some places completely covering the paddocks for a short ttmei and it was astonishing to see the after results. In Spain also, particu larly Valencia, they, m the summer, take nearly the whole of the mountain streams, and land otherwise almost worthless, is more than trebled m value." The facts adduced m the ajbove (extracts are just now particu j&f^ opportune, and it is pleasing to find that Mr Buckley, who m his place m the Legislative Council took charge of the measure introduced by Mr Wright, has not forgotten the in terests r o/ , this part of New Zealand. $f&- are Obliged to Mr Harper for the opportunity of presenting these facts to our readers, and we think they should go far to induce the ratepayers of the county to join heartily with the County Coifncil m devising and carrying out an extensive and complete system of Irrigation.

PETROLEUM AS FUEL.

Writing some time ago on the subject of steam, communication with Europe we expressed the opinion that the time was fast approaching when the speed of steamers will be. greatly increased and the duration of passages consequently shortened, with a corresponding re duction m the cost of freight and passenger fares. And we indicated dtat thfe means by which we looked for fms J revolution m ocean traffic being brought about was by the adoption of peti oleum ,ajs fuel instead of coal, thereby increasing the available cargo space by reducing the area required for the stowage of fuel. For years Russian steamers on the Caspian have been burning petroleum, but for vessels making long oceaji voyages the stowage Qyajrgfi-.quantities of that article m its cranl i state Is attended with dangers have hitherto prevented its ad^tMh.V Sci^iice haj, however, as might have been predicated, stepped m And overcome the difficulty, and late newsliinforms us that the Atlantic slftttners are now about to try the ex p£Hrhetif of using bricks 6f petrbleum irtsfeda of coal. The rnpdc ; by which *k^ e sP?ft?' eui ?Vhb ! r' t k s are prepared is, m^MWhf r &s '^c Ausifaldsian and South American, the invention of Dr Kayfttownj a chemist inthe service of the Russian* government io the oil

regions of Baku, near the Caspian Sea, who has discovered a method of crystallisation, or rather saponification, of petroleum, crude oil, or kerosene, with a view to which scientists have experimented for many years. By the new method we are told " the crude oil is changed into a hard, or semi-solid substance, which has almost lost the characteristic smell, as well as its great inflammability. In this state it may be shipped long distance! without danger or inconvenience, and by a simple and cheap chemical operation can be again made fluid and then refined." The process of solidifying the petroleum as used by Dr Kauffman is very simple, "and is described as follows : — " The oil is heated, and from one to three per cent, of its weight of common soap s added, with which it is boiled for about half an hour. After that time it will be noticed that the soap is all dis solved m the oil, and the fluid will suddenly turn into a hardened* putty like substance, which will get as hard as stiff tallow when cold. This may be pressed into any shape desired." Of the fuel thus prepared we are told that the substance is very hard to light and burns very slowly, without making any smoke, with a reddish flame producing great heat, and leaving about two per cent, odorless, black and hard re siduum. Its heating power, is stated to be " nine times greater than that of coal; that is, one pound of petroleum fuel produces the same amount of heat as nine pounds of the best coal." This means,* m the case of steamers, that eight-ninths of the space now devoted to coal will be available for cargo, and a great saving m the cost of fuel, the result of which must necessarily be to cheapen the cost of freight and of ocean travelling. It is further believed that the new fuel, which is odorless and of no gi eater inflammability than wood or coal, will come largely into use for household and manufacturing purposes, as it can be burned m the form of bricks m any stove or furnace. To New Zealanders, with our large supply of native coals, this aspect of the case will not be of any great interest, but the prospect opened up of the cheapening of ocean traffic by the use of the new fuel will undoubtedly be regarded as exceedingly satisfactory.

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE.

LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED. Mr Editor,— While spending a few days at the pleasant seaside town of Aberystwith Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related wha seemed to me either a fabuious story or marvellous cure. * The story was that of a poor sufferer who had not been able to He down m bed for six long years, given up to die by all doctors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine, t was related with the more implicit con €dence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vicar of Llanry&tyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the truth of the report Having a little curiosity to know how such stories grow m travelling, 1 took the liberty, while at the village of Llanrystyd to call upon the Vicar, the Rev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wife most graciously entertained me m a half hour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Pugh, m which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with-hia sufferings, and "now rejoiced m what seemed to them a most remarkable cure. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his name had been connected with the report from his having mentioned the case to Mr John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living m the parish of Lland detnol. He strongly vouched Mr William Pugh's character as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with a lively sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he was one who' truly sympathised with all who arc afflicted m mind, body, or estate. . • / ■;  On my return to Aberystwitb, I was'im* pressed wilh a desire to see Mr Puph, whose reputation stood so high. His farm is called Pancom«Mawr, signifying "above the dingle," situated near the summit of a smooth round hill overlooking a beautiful valley m which is situated the lovely ivy-mantled Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr Pugh, apparently about 40 years of age, of medium height, lather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. ) told him I hadyheard of his great' affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and that I had come to learn from his own lips what there was of truth m the report* Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbors had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest m his case for many years, but of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a happy change m his condition. What you report as having heard abroad, t said he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood that my case was ever given up as hopeless by any Physician. 1 have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good as any m Walts, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief, Fifteen years ago, he said,, I first becara conscious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, which the Doccors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could keep m my stomach seemed to do me no good and was often thrown up with painful retchings. This was followed after a time with hoarse ness and a raw soreness of the throat, which the Doctors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that, but with little success. Then came shortness of breath and a sense of suffo cation, especially nights with clammy sweat, and I would have to get out of bed, and sometimes open a door or window m wint weather to fill my lungs with the cold air. About six years ago I became so bad th I could not sleep m bed, but had to take m unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting m an armchair. My affliction seemed to be working downwards into my bowels as well as up wards into my lungs and throat. In the violent coughing spasms which grew more frequent, my abdomen would expand and collapse, and at times it would seem that I should suffocate. All this time I was reduced ni strength so that I could perform no hard labor, and my spirits were consequently much depressed. Early m this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic attack, and my family and neighbors became alarmed, believing that cer, tainly I would not survive, when a. reighfoorf who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aberystwith by the driver of the Omnibus Post, some seven miles distant and fetched a bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. feThis medicine they administered to me according to the directions, when to their surprise and delight no less than my own, the spasm ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach was calmed. My bowels were moved as by a gentle cathartic, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort all through such as I, had not before realised m many years. I could walk around the house and breathe comfortably m a few hours after I had taken the medicine. I have continued to take the medicine daily now for something over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not since had a recurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatings. I have been so long broken down and reduced m my whole system that I have not tried to perform any very hard out door labor, deeming it best to be prudent lest by over-exertion I may do myself injury before my strength is fully restored. I feel that my stomach and bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact I feel like a new man. I have been much congratulated by my neighbors, especially by the good Vicar of llanrystyd, who with his sympathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of joy on my recovery. Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma i should be known to the public,- lifeg submit the above facts as they are related 1 .' »c, F ,T.W.
