I have had forty-eight electric baths and spent three weeL at the springs at Drysdale.

Kidman, the owner of Lovelocks, attributed the mace's victory in the Steeplechase to the use of Solomon Solution, with which he treated her legs. He also says that by the aid of this valuable remedy he brought round Ellerstone, who scored a recent victory at Port Pirie, and he speaks ia the highest terms of this restorative, which it will be remembered was tried by Mr Wallace oa the chanpion Oarbina, who, however, was suffering from a damagea foot, tor which there w« no cure when he retired from the racing arena.

Canterbury College, Laboratory Department, Christehurch, N.Z.,Dec. 30,1893 REPORT on the examination of a water filter received from Mr W. H, Rule, Ashburton:—The filter consists of a cylin drical vessel of fine grained limestone, fitted into an outer cylinder of glazed stoneware, tha latter serving to collect and retain the filtered water. The idea of using a porus stone in this particular form is a very good one, giving the perfection of mechanical filtering together with gruat facilities for cleaning. Its capacity as a filter for separating every variety of mechanically suspended matter waa tho roughly tested with the most satisfactory results. Recent investigations on the subject of filtering have shown that it is much more effective than was formerly supposed, even whea soluble organic matter passes through filtering has proved itself efficacious in stopping the germs of disease. The filter itself is a very credi table example of colonial industry, and ia very neatly got up. A. W. BICKERTON, 1 27 Colonial Analyst.
