A Giant Wheel.

The gigantic wheel, which a com pany formed for the purpose intends to add to the recreations of London, has been contracted for by Messrs Win, Beardmcre and Co. Parkhead Steel Works, who are at present busy roll iag the material, about 1500 tons. The wheel has been designed by Mr Walter Basset, and it will be erected urder his superintendence by the Arrol Bridge and Roof Company, of Gernai ston Works, Glasgow, It is to be 300 ft. high, and will have suspended on its periphery forty carriages, hung on steel spindles m such a manner that the floors will always be level. Bach carriage will have glass sashes all round, with railings of steel outside to prevent the possibility of anyone falling out. The wheel will be entirely con structed of steel. The axle of the wheel will be formed of a tube 7ft. diameter and 40ft. long, and will, therefore be large enough to permit of a man walking through it without stooping. This axle will be supported on eight steel legs about 150 ft. long, which will be firmly fixed on large blocks of concrete bedded m tbe ground, each block being 15ft cube. The columns referred to will be placed four on each side of the wheel, and there will be two different storeys, each side forming restaurant and re freshment rooms, the top floors being connected by means of the above mentioned tubular axle. On the top of each of those towers will be a search light, while the whole of the wheel and the towers will be illum inated with incandescent lamps, and will form a striking object at night Access to the various floors of the towers will be given by means of hydraulic lift?, m addition to which there will be two staircases. The wheel, when stopped m the proper position, will have eight of the carriages abreast their landing stages, for the ingress and egress of passepgers. It will thus be seen that the wheel will stop five times during revolution, and during these five stops will be capable of filling up its carriages with passengers, and raising them to the height of its upper rim. The motive power will be two 50 h.p. electric motors, geared by means of a worm •wheel to a large drum, round which will travel two 6in wire hawsers. These hawsers will pass over grooves on the edge of the wheel, and will be quite capable of transmitting the necessary power to it. The wheel, when fully loaded will be capable of accommodating 1600 persons, while the towers will hold as many more. The forerunner of this wheel, the Ferris wheel at Chicago, paid 160 per per cent m the four months it was Open. The wheel will be finished about the end of Jane. A five years' lease of the site at Earl's Court, Lon don, has been secured from the Dis trict Bail way.

A Resurection.

Some time ago an. English soldier m Esypt wrote to the " London Times " that whilst digging near the camp at Aboukir he discovered the skeleton of a man ap parently over six feet m height, the right, leg amputated above the knee. On the I chest was a round gold locket, containing a lock of hair, and inscribed, **I desire that this locket shall be buried along with me." Inquiries which the publication of this intelligence caused to b^ made ro sulted m ita being ascertained that the ' remains thus singularly brought to light were those of Colonel Charles Erskine, of the 92 ad Highlanders, who was mortally wounded at the battle of Mandora ninety-' three years ago. In a manuscript volume m the Erskine family there m the follow ing interesting entry, made by Mr Bam- My* of Ochtertyre : -" The 92nd was sent on the expedition to the Mediterranean. Ifc is needless to enter into any detail, it being well known that Colonel Erskine, i while leading on his men with great gal- j lantry at the landing near Aboukir, re ceived a shot m his leg, which was soon j after amputated, and at first sanguine hopes of his recovery were entertained, but, having soon after fevered, he breathed his last—praised, wept, and honored by a gallant army that was well apprised of his mpritfl. He was one of those who had no enemies, and he was no less revered by the private men than by the officers. . . . Having m the end of November offered a visit, Lady Christian begged me to postpone it to a certain day, they being informed that Captain Ramsay, an officer of the 92nd, who had attended Colonel Erskine on his deathbed, was to be at Cardross to deliver a message and token from the dying man. . . -A little before dinner on the day I arrived he was announced. . . The venerable father was given to understand that his son's body had been buried with military honors m a corner of the field of battle where he had been wounded. He said also that the colonel's last instructions were to bury a golden locket tied about his neck with his corpse. This was sup posed to contain the hair of a young lady to whom he was believed to be engaged. Be that it may, she did not long survive, having died of a rapid decay. Mr Erskine seemed to think it likewise contained his sister's hair." The Colonel Erskine whose body has thus been discovered and identi fied ninety-three years after his death was a grand-uncle of the Sergeant-at-Arms m the House of Commons, who at once took steps to have the remains re-buried m the English cemetery at Alexandria,

Dunedin City Council.

( ♦ ■--'•-. . j A Howdy Meeting*. pvxvpvx, July 18.' A deadlock has arisen m the City Coun cil after one of the stormiest meetings ever held. The trouble first arose m con nectionwitha councillor introducing hia wife and a friend behind the barrier. The mayor. Mr Fisb, objected, and a stormy scene followed between the mayor and the councillor, until the Council eventually passed a resolution requesting the councillor's ■Wife and friend to with draw, which they ultimately did. It waa then suggested that the lady should be requested to return, but her husband de clined the courtesy. As possibly giving some explanation of the matter it appears that the person who w»b with the lady has to appear m Court to-morrow to show .cause why he should not be bound over to keep the peace towards Mr Fish. There was a good deal of bickering after this. When the motion was reached to expunge from the minutes that Councillor Dawson some months afro had been adjudged m contempt, a hot discussion took place. The mayor wound up a speech by saying that he declined to put the motion. Mr Gourley said that if councillors had any grit m them they would retira and refuse to sit again under Mr Fish. Tha councillors retired, leaving three, whereupon the mayer adjourned the meeting till Friday.

The New South Wales Elections.

Sydney, July 18. Sir G. R. Dibbs has called a meeting of the Cabinet for Monday, when it will probably be decided whether the Government meet the House and then be guided entirely by the attitude taken up by the members. The Premier con siders the country true to Protection, but; swamped by Sydney and Newcastle. The Parliament, he thinks, is certain to last three years, because the Labor members will do nothing to risk a dissolution. The latest returns from the Murrum bidgee show that Mr Bae, who was reported re-elected, has been defeated by seven votes. Of the Labor candidates returned only seventeen were selected by the Labor Electoral League. The Protectionists did not gain a single seat m the city er suburbs. One striking feature of the elections was the defeat of most of the candi dates selected by the National Asso ciation. (Received July 19, 11.30 a.m.) Sydney, July 18. In the metropolitan and suburban electorates 70,000 votes were polled, of which 41,500 were for freetrade, 12,300 for protection, and 16,600 for labor candidates. Country returns are incomplete, but approximately 40,000 j supported freetrade, 54,000 protection, and 27,000 labor. Fully two-thirds of the electors of the colony voted. Ac cording to the Local Option League, a majority of the new House favor its principles. \OND9N, July 18.

"NO. 1."

P, J. P. Tynan, known some years ago as "No. 1," who directed the murder plot m Dublin of which lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr Burke were the victims of the 6th of May, 1882, has published a book on " Irish Jnvincibles and their Times," m which he says, " a prominent and trusted Parnellite official" enlisted him m the development of the Invincible policy "m the very Chamber where Parlia mentary members sat to consult and arrange legal and constitutional agita tion," He was brought into contact with other new recruits, among them another Parnellite member, now a McCarthyite, and shortly afterwards he was sent to Dublin by the In vincible Directory to begin practical operations. There he took command of a local Council, of whom the actual members were Carey, Curley, Brady, and Kelly, the three last-named being subsequently executed for their share m the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr Burke, and being therefore always spoken of by Tynan as " martyrs." There is nothing substantially new m Tynan's account of the abortive plots to assassinate Mr Forster. What is remarkable is his repeated declaration that the " execution" of Lord Frederick Cavendish was as deliberately contem plated as that of Mr Burke. The Directory m London sent no counter mand to their executive officer m Dub lin, and the crime of the 6th of May was perpetrated. " The honour," says Tynan," of this tragic event rests on the stasesmanahip of the Parnellite movement, no matter how many of these men of the weak and timid section now attempt to slander and villify the brave Irish soldiers who obeyed official orders, and who have written m Irish history a page that brightens this black epoch of British savagery." ■

(ADVERTISEMENT). To the Editor of Ashburton Mail and GCAKDIAtf. SIR, —Will you allow me through your ■ valuable columns, to answer the many enquiries as to the time for giving horses Waiker'b Bot-m-y Remedies, as horses have been lost at all tithes of the year but more especially from harvest on to November. The best time to secure the horae m safety is to drench any time after harvest. For instance, a good many horses have died just now, that if they had been drenched m time would have been hardy and well. Mr T. O. Gorman, Southbridge, lost a splendid mare a few weeks ago, looking hearty and well but took bad m the plough, was taken out and died the nexb day m awful agony. The stomach, when opened, was found quite like a riddle with the contents outside the stomach and the rest of the stomach covered with bots. Mr Fairweather lost a valuable carriage horse 26th May last, at Amberley, the stomach all eaten through, leaving no doubt as to the bots causing death. Mr Sanderie, contractor, Leeston, lost a splendid horse three weeks ago, this being the fourth he has lost. Like many, he got an idea that Viots did no harm, but he assured me that the sight of this stomach quite convinced him to the contrary, and that he would use Walker's bot-fly Remedies m future. Miss Button, Peel Forest, lam informed lost her valuable hunter the other day and svhen dissected, the stomach was also found eaten through, satisfying all that the bots alone caused death. So that from this on, cases will be numerous as was last two years unless horses are at once drenched, Owners therefore, that wish to make certain of saving their horses should lose no time m drenching. I am certain had those horses that died been drenched m time every horae would have been hearty and well. I guarantee a certain cure if the horse is drenched m time and as directed. WALKER'S EOT-FLY REMEDIES; Yours, etc;, R. WALKER, Woolston Canal Reserve.
