THE NEW ZEALANDERS AND THE POLICE.

A member ef the Ist Contingent write* a letter concerning the remarks of th* Premier of New Zcaltnd anent the New Zeatenders joining the police. Wf ex ract the following from the letter widen is published in the Napier telegraph. "With reference to the Premier's c*bfa> that)'we were sent oat to fight, and no! for police wotk,' I b( gto state that w* came out 'to serve the Empire' in whatso ever capacity the Empire desired. One thing was 'rammed . down oar throat* more than any thing else previous to oar departure from New Zealand short*, ; nameiy 'that directly we lauded In Scats Africa we should be under the entire control of the Imperial authorities. Mr* Seddon oalmly ignores this, for bis cable i to the authorities in South Africa l# ! nothing more nor lees than dictation to the Field Marshal as to the disposition of the troops under his command a proceed ing which even the most ill-informed or things military must emplore. The! Imperial Government would not dream of Interference in any shape or form with Lord Roberts 1; handling i»f the troops la Sooth Africa under his command. Doubtless he had sound reasons for desiring the services of the colonials on the Provisional Military Police. In any case, it. is not within the sphere.of our Government or ita representatives, to attempt interference in the use to which a General chooses to put troops'under bb command In the field. Neither Is that General to be expected to communicate beforehand with any celony, to ask permission; to use its representatives on this or that duty (as lam informed was actually suggested in the House, over the police matter) for the simple reason that it is understood that the Generals bar* supreme control over troopßj *nd those troops are to be used for the general good In the service of our grand old Empire in such manner an is deemed needful. "My own opinion is that some official in a re ponsible position with the con tingents in Souih Africa has sent mislead ing reports to the Premier on this police business; but th»fr~naay come to l?ght at a later «3a«.e; Our Premier has all along behavei so patriotically and splendidly that lam ture his message must have been caused by weighty reasons, and I sincerely hope we shall eventually find that he acted as he did from such causes as I have previously referred to.

A Great Invention.

It is difficult to get op at the belt of times. As the days grow shorter and colder it will become virtually impos* Bible, How thankful we ought to be, then, for Mr J Harris Witling's com* bined automatic alarm clock, Bpirit lamp, kettle, teapot, and cup and saucer. The common or garden clock is familiar in our cars at household words; John Peel's • View holloa' was nothing to it. We also know that the kettle for the morning tea always selects the moment when you are in the | middle of your bath to begin boiling over. Mr Watliog has thought of all that and provided for it. The alarm of his highly evolved alarm clock re leases a catch, which strikes a match, which lights the spirit lamp, which boils the kettle, which makes the tea. Then you get up. The kettle is not like a vulgar kettle with spout and lid. Its top is screwed on, and holds a whistle, which blows when the water boils For a spout it has a syphon, I which begins to run also when the water boils. It runs into a cup, which contains a strainer, which contains the tea. It is to be hoped Mr Watling will goon perfect his attachment for running downstairs and fetching up the milk— Da&y Mail
