WRITING BY ELECTRICITY

The wonderful invention of writing by electricity at a distance of fifty miles is thus described :— " Ont of the top of a box, which Is about; the siza of an ordinary despatch fax, protrudes what h?s the appearance of a atylographlc pen. Thiß, however, is not a pen, but the handln of the ' transmitter,' and its lower end is fixed to a light braes perpendicular bar. Any motion given by the hand — you hold It just like a pen — to the handle of the transmitter is communicated by this bar to two series of carbon didca contained within the box, and after various adven tures among the magnet?, e L c, ia carried again to the top of the box, where it is reproduced exactly by a small ink-holding pen, whose point rests on a white paper tape. A clockwork apparatus palls this tape along at a gentle pace, snd after a little practice you will find that it i« quite easy to move the handle cf the transmitter bo that the pen shall write legibly on the moving tape. Now, whatever ia written On the tape before you ia written simul taneously a mile off, or it may be fifty miles off, on a similar tape, by a similar Instrument at the other end of the wire. The instrument is very compact and apparently efficient." The inventor is Mr John Rjbertson, an American.

PAT AND TEE TELEPHONE.

Father O'Halloran had a telephone.put Into the parsonage which was m connec tion with the church, the parochial Bohoci, etc. Patrick M'Fee, bia raverenoe'a handy man, waß instructed m the use of the iu strnment; and it wsb only th 9 next day when Pat, dnating ont the church, heard the clatter of the telephone bell. Tnklng down the receiver, he waa pleased to hew Father O'Hallorßn's familiar voice asking him something or other about his work. Pat, m eßsaying to anowor, remembered that hla revorsnoo wns a long way off, and he conarqnen'ly halloaed into the trans mitter at the top of bia voloe. " I don't understand yo", Patrick," said the tele phone. Pat tried again, with no better ■ncoess. On his third trial he caroe noar splitting the telephone ; bob again came Father O'Halloran'a voice ; " 1 can't he-r what you're saying Patrlok." Pat had by .this time lost some of his patience; and, as be stood gathering breath for a fourth blaßt, he could not refrain from sollloqnis- Ing In a low tone : " Ah, may the divii fly away wld tha onld fool !" But Pat dropped the telephone like a hot potato when he heard F«ther O'Balloran's voice once again : " Now I heer you p9rfectl/, Patrick."

FILING OUR SCHEDULES.

" No man is wise at all hours " Bays an ancient Latin proverb, and some of the most sagacious of men have before now had to admit that there have been occasions m which. 5 they " spoke mad- i visedly with their lips." It is not, therefore, perhaps so remarkable a thing after all that that Nestor of Ne,w Zea land politics, Sir F. Whitak.er, should have furnished another example of how very human it is to err. No doubt the heat of debate, or rather the urgency of the moment, caused him to use -words which a calmer moment would not justify. When he said that unless the Loan Bill were passed " wa should have to file our schedule," the expression was, it appears, not intended m the sense m which it was understood the Premier subsequently explaining m the House of Representatives Vnat the Attorney General had been referring to the fact that the Government had en gagements under the authority of the loan of last session, which they were bound to fulfil, and that bis remark as to Siing waa only a playful way of em phasising the embarrassment into which they would be plunged if Parliament refused to pass the amended bill neces sary to make that of last year opera tive. But, unfortunately, Sir Frederick did not succeed m conveying that impression at the time, and the " we " of his sen tence was generally understood m the broad sense of inclading the colony as a Trhole. Worse still, the matter was taken up by some of the newspapers, notably the Wellington " Evening Press"- as m this light, ar.d it was Represented that some mysterious com munication had been made to Mr Ful ton by the Premier, indicating the existence of serious financial peril, and comments were made which, but for gome authoritative contradiction, must have had an effect m London, and Bven here, most prejudicial to the interests of the colony, and utterly damnatory m their effect upon oil !Sew Zealand securities. Therefore it was the bounden duty of the House to ask of Ministers to give an explanation, such as should nip the mischief m the bud, and at once ally the fears of the timid and misin formed. The Opposition, through Mr Lance, discharged this duty well on Tuesday afternoon, and elicited from Sir H. Atkinson cot only an explanation that the Attorney-General did not impugn the solvency of the Colony, but also an assurance that the position of ]Sew Zealand financially is perfectly sound, and that the Financial {Statr.. ment when made m a few days we aid prove that the condition of the colo ny is sounder, and better at the present time than when the Loan Bill was ' Drought m last session. This is sa^i s f ac t or v but not more than we expect <$ f or no ne but confirmed croakers airj pessimists ever entertained for a nv omen t the idea that New Zealand is lively to be m the position of being treble to meet her engagements with <; ne public creditors, but she has unha- pp ii y not a f ew enemies, and the worst o f h er f OOB are> a i asl o f her own b'oijaejioidj an( j we w j sn we could only 'oelieve that all those news papers vj nicb. were so ready to make the worst of the Attorney- Generals slip of the tongue will be equally ready to make the amende by giving equal publicity and prominence to the Premier's explanation.

Certain!* the Most Effective MEDICINE m the world" is SANDER and SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. Test its eminent powerful effects m Coughs, Colds, Influenza, etc, ; the relief is instantaneous, Thousands give the most gratifying testimony. Bead this certificate :— " 24th April, 1885.— Messrs Sander and Sons,— lt is with the greatest of pleasure that I testify to the excellence of your Eucalypti Extraot. Having had inflam- mation on the bone of the leg, whioh came on after a severe attack of low fever, I was attended by Dr J. Boyd, who had made strenuous efforts to save my leg, but without success. He found it necessary to amptuate my limb. Having heard m the meantime of the wonderful enrea worked by the Euoalypti Extraot, I obtained a bottle, and the extract had not been applied more than an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved. After apply, 'ing the extract every four hours for nine or en dsys I was out of all danger. I would ersuade all who may be affected with any uoh disease to give the Euoalypti Extraot a rial, and I am convinced that they will find t the most wonderful of medioines. — Yours, c, E. J.
