Six months of that period I had positively lost the use ot my lega, and for two years I have been unable to wXkwit&Kheser sticka. I have had forty-eight electric baths and spent three tRESS REPORTS. Melbourne "Sportsman," June 14, 1892] •• Mr Frank O'Donnoll, the well-known breeder of Gooroc, Victoria, has a mare by Kohinoor from Lady Hercules, by Hercules from Princess Royal, who some time ago got one,s her hind legs entangles in a wire fence, and smashed her shin bone very badly. To _m. fVT?nnn P ll' s own words —' I thought she was past all surgioal aid, so bad was the smash iK^'havtog^Se of the Solomon SoluJn by me. I tried what it would do. Some little time a ter using that well-known remedy, a piece of bone about four inches lonTst ick ouHf the wound, which has since completely healed. The mare" s leg is now Knd as eve? it W The piece of bone referred to was measured in our presence, and tatSetahtSofan inch broad in its narrowest part and one inch and a half in its b^tfMdtoexitlyfoarfaohestalengtJ. A more marvellous caae in which a cure was effected has not come under our notice. |( "In connection with last Saturday's racing on the Old Course, Mr C. N. 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 Pine, Ind he speaks in the highest terms of this restorative which it will be remembered was tried by Mr Wallace on the champion Carbine, who, however, was suffering from a damaged foot, tor which there was no cure when he retired from the racing arena. The Arab, alsn wno has exhibited such very marked improvement of late was saved for racing purposes by the use of this Soution, and his legs were so bad that the stench was -JUST AKPJVED.- No. 3, Apollo Music Album. 1.— *• Home Boys, Home' —Song. 2.—Florence Waltzes. 3 # —Cows arein the Corn. 4.~-Southern Alps—Schottiache, s.—Maggie Murphy's Home. 6,_What will you do, love. 7 —Fisherman and hia child. 8, What are the wild waves saying 9-—Contance 10.—Take me home. 11.—Mill wheel. 12, Maid of Athens—Fantasia is!— The Diver—Bass Song. 14, There's no one like mother to me. 15,_John Peel. 16.—Zealandia.

Canterbury College, Laboratory Department, Christchurch, 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, the 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 gr«ab facilities for cleaning, its capacity as a filter for separating every variety of mechanically suspended matter was 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 whe.i 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 Analyit.
