CYCLISTS AND THE RAILWAY COMPANIES

The Bill which has been prepared at the instance of the cyclists' organisations with a view to secure greater facilities for f the carriage of cycles by passenger trains I has been introduce! by Colonel Sir ' Howard Vincent, MP, and backed by Mr Herbert Gladstone. The bill f ollowg very closely the lines of the draft prepared by the cyclists' Touring Club. It seeks to make it obligatory on every railway company :—1 To afford eveiy reasonable facility and to provide sufficient and proper accommodation for the convey anc« of cycles. 2To carry, cycles in the same train by which the owner is travel ling. 3 To issue tickets at the same booking office and at the same time as that at which the traveller has to take his own ticket. 4To charge reasonable rates-—-the charge for a bicyeb nok to exceed a registration fee of 3d for any distance up to and including twelve miles, and 6d for any distance exceeding twelve miles. STo provide cloak room accommodation, and to charge for each accommodation a sum not exceeding for a bicycle 2d for any period not exceeding forty eight hours, and Id for each addi tional day or part of day. 6To be re sponsible for loss or damage or unreason able delay. The bill also empowers the Railway Commissioners to hear com plaints and take action when necessary and the various bodies empowered to lodge complaints are specified as any Union or Association of cyclists or of persons interested in cycles which may obtain from the Board of Trade a certifi cate that it is a proper body to make such a complaint.' 1

A World Wide Famine Predicted.

It haa remained for Mr Edward Atkinson, the scientist, essayist and political agitator, to develop the new est and most surprising theory as to the nature of the embarrassments which will force themselves upon the world's inhabitants as the centuries roll round Mr Atkinson believes with some eminent scientific speculators that the great difficulty, when it arises, will come in the form of hunger—the ex* haustion of the world's food supply. Bat he does not believe that this will bo resched through overpopulation or the taking up of fell the arable land; Mr Atkinson's suggestion is that the world famine is likely to come in the form of a potash famine—through the using up of the supply of potash in the soil, and the consequent failure of the land to produce food crops The cause for cencern in regard to the world's future food supply, he lays, lies in the fact that potash is not re newed in the manner of lome other element* of vegetable life. It is a mineral deposit arising through the natural decomposition of certain rocks. On tilled land there is no opportunity for renewal in the ordinary course of rotation. It must be supplied, if at all from large mineral deposits This would be a simple matter if these deposits were large and numer ous. Inasmuch as potash is foand is almost every part of the world it would seem probable that sach large deposits would be of frequent occurrence. But, as Mr Atkinson points out, exactly the reverse it the case. In discussing the matter before a scientific body, he called attention to the fact that the world's entire supply is at present being drawn from the mines at Strassfurt, Germany, and that, while other fields equally great m*y possibly exist, they have not been uncovered up to the present time

Tableau.

A second lieutenant recently gradu ated from Sandhurst (says a Home paper), who has just joined his regi ment in South Africa, waa standing in the market place of an up-country town when a grizzled and unshaven old soldier, wearing khaki breeches, a shirt, and a campaign bat, Btepped up and stood near him. The young ■ol dier turned on him sharply/ • Rare, you roan, did anyone ever teach you how to salute f % Yes, sir,' drawled the trooper, as he glanced at the youngster. • Well, knock your heels together, 1 taid the young officer, and the trooper cam* to attention with the precision of an old soldier. c Now salute,' he said, and the trooper's gannlefc came to the rim of hie hat and stayed there until the young lieutenant answered it, at the same time cautioning him not to let it happen again, and demanding hii name and regiment. Without relaxing his position from attention, the old trooper again respectfully saluttd, and remarked drily: c My name is , and I'm brigadier-general of the Cavalry Brigade."

To Proprietors, PJaatekoa Hemedias. Dear Sirs,—For over three years I have suffered from Hydatids acd Enlargement of the Liver. Two years ago I was admitted to the Wellington Hospital, and after cmfnl and thorough examination by the doctors, it was decided that I should undergo an operation. My condition at thab time was very low, my liver being swollen to snch an extent that the doctor ! outlined ib on tho ekin with a pencil. I remained in the Hospital six months, moat of the tiraa confined to my bed, and although every attention was bestowed upon me by the doctors and others, I left that institution very iifc'le improved in health. However, I resumed my usual occupation at the local Gasworks, hat shortly after was compelled to Joy up again, this time with Jaundice in addition to my old complaint. You can readily understand my condition was awful. I suffered terribly with pain in the stomach and bowels. The feeling used to be of a sinking nature, with gnawing sensations in the pit of the stomach, usually coming on about an hour after meals. No medicine I tried did me «ny permanent good, until I uaed your wonderful PLANTEKOA. This medicine seemed to attack the disease almost at cnce, and after giving it a fair trial, it baa fulfilled my highest expecta tions. The pain at the stomach is gone, my liver has resumed it* natural state, the jaundice has disappeared, and my skin ja new quite c!ear. My appetite is splendid, and loan eat and sleep and work now with pleasure and comfort. I might aleo add to this note that while nsiog Plantekoa, we gave some to onr little girl, who had the chicken pox very badJy. In con jane lion with Plantekoa Ointment-, a cure was coon brought about. I give you this testimonial of my own free will, and shall be pleased to answer any enquiries relative to my case, either personally or by letter.
