AFTER TEE WRONG MAN

-The Southland papers report an amusing incident id conneoti •>» with the search fi r Rudolph Radka, the epoap°d prisoner. Two oonstab'eß ahon f : 1 o'clock mth 9 morning observed iv front -.f them a figaro resembling Kadi; a. Desirous of verifying their suspicions bofore actually bb'e eg him the two increased their pact>, bat so did the figure. The (fficara broke loto a trot ; the young man dl'< likewise, One of the officers oa led npon the yoang man to stop, but that only had the effect of giving the fleetaesa of the wind to hits movements, and hn disappeared Bome whero m the neighborhood of the gardens The whole available force m the barraokß was summoned «nd the gardens searched, without aeall. Oa Wednesday afternoon a young uipn, a vial or from Melbourne, called at the polioj offue and ooinplained that while returning to his hotel along Nlth street, after spending the evening with a friend, he was, at the time above named, followed and eventnally ncoosted by tw> desperate aoonndrelr, who ap parently had determined to assault and rob him* that he took to hia heels, that they.,, followed m full cry, bnt that he managed to give them the " double " and reaoh his hotel, safe but muoh terrified and exhausted. The news was broken gently to the officers interested, and they are now doing well. Radka is still at large,

CONTROLLING A HORSE BY ELECTRICITY.

Prof. R. H. Harrison, of the veterinary sohool of Harvard College, has acoordlng to the 'Electrical Review," completed some interesting experiments with a new devioe for controlling refractory horses.

A few days ago a valuable trotting horse, whloh formerly went under the name of Gray Eagle, and whloh has a reoord of 2.22, waa sent to the school for treatment of a fraotured jtw, whioh had been th* result of attempts to control him. The animal had the habit of taking the bit m his teeth and bolting

Dr Harrison contrived to oonneot the bit by two small wires along the reina with a small galvanlo-faradio baltary, which was carried m the bogey. It waa so arranged that the driver could give an electric shook of greater or leas Intensity to the horse, but which would not do' the animal any iojury.

Dr Harrison took care to use the con trivance only with the use of the words "whoa" and ••steady." The trial wsb an Immediate success. The home after two or three shocks at once became docile and obeyed his driver's commands in atsn'ly.

A final trial was given the horse, under trying clrcumatanoea. He came to a halt from a 2.40 gait or to a walk with equal docility on the driver's order. He was tried under conditions which ordinarily would have frightened him and oaused him to bolt, and the result was very satis factory.

NEW ZEALAND BUTTER.

A London correspondent of a contem porary wrltss : — Sir Francis Bell is advertising for a " thoroughly qualified person acquainted with the beßt systems of dairy-farming, and competent to j Instruct dairy-farmers m New Zealand as to the best methods of preparing their produce for the English market." He h«s reoelved numerous replies, but the draw back to most of the applicants is that they do not efficiently understand the necessities of the London market. The Agent-General is now m communication with Professor Long on the snbjeot, and will very probably find the sort of person required through his help. Up to the present, as I have more than onoe ex plained, New Zealand dairy produce has only proved Id differently successful. Against the cheese nothing can now be urged save that the qaalily varies more than is desirable. Ketailers do not aB yet take very kindly t>o it (I quote the smartest cheesemonger m South Jlenslog ton), bnt the Stores (the Army and Navy especially) sell large quantities. The "7d a pound New Zealand cheese*' is, In faot, beoomlng a specialty at the Army and "Navy Stores. AU I wonder Is, what does the exporter get per pound for it ? The New Zealand batter, on the contrary, oootmnei a failure, Often the quality is, oi has been, good ; but it varies so In polour, oondltlon, and make-up that purchasers are often very dissatisfied. For example, a butterman buys, say, 20 kegs or tubs (or whatever you call them) of New Zealand butter. The Bample he tatted suited him exactly, but he gndn that the kegs are not uniform m coloar and othar essentials with the sample, The butter may be goo£ enough, but there Is not enough s&lt m It, t>r too muph salt In it, to suit his customers, or the colour too Dearly resembles that of margarine. The consequence Is that he is dissatisfied, and eiobews New Zealand butter for the futnre. The difficulties m the way of the trade are, however, snob, an, a few experts will no doubt smooth away, and onoe New Zealand dairy produce gets a good name with onr retailers Us future is assured Sines writing the foregoing I learn that Sit F. D. Bell Is trying to persuade Pro fessor Long himself to visit New Zealand and inquire into the dairy produce ques tion. At present the Professor h»B not said " Jes "or" No " definitely. Muoh, ' Indeed, will depend on whether the Minister of AgrlonUQra Bill is passed through Parliament this seeslc^ or daring the coming autumn one, as he Is almost certain to be the first person eeleoted to fill this important office.
