Bowling Notes.

The following extracts from a letter from Mr A Simeon, of the New Zealand Hfcond Contingent (a bowler), under date October 18, to the president of the Kaitangata Bowling Club, m»y be of interest to Borne of oar readers :—■ "It has occurred to me that about this time you will be making arrangements for the opening of the howling green. 1 have thought, therefore, that an extra subscription will b> acceptable to the committee. I am enclosing mine m Kruger silver, as I think it might be something of a curiosity. It cannot be •very plentiful m New Zealand y* t, »nd perhaps nosy be worth a little more than its face value. Sixpences and three penny pieces are already obtainable, as are the bs f sovereign?. There »re none now m circulation.* lam not very cer tain yet whether I will fcebackin time to have a game with you m the ensuing season, but I wish the club success. I have not ascertained if there is ft bowling club m Pretoria, but I think not." As several members of the bowling club expressed a df sire to possess a Kruger coin, the committee have resolved to call tenderp for a one shilling, two shillings, and two and a half shilling pieces. The remaining coins are to be played for m single-handed matches The secretary of the clob has forwarded Mr Simeon a letter of thanks for his donation, not fjing him at the same time that be has been elected a member of the club for the pext two ensuiug years. The Hawera Bowling Club has pur chased a piece of land as a sight for a new green. Theresponce to the challenge m the proposed North Island v fc'outh Island match at Christchurch on January 18 h&B been very feeble on the part of the Northern bowling clubs. ( utside the Wellington city clubs, only Wanganui and Fielding have intimated their readiness to take part. The Auckland bowlers who went to the Thames had a real good time at the opening of the Thames Bowling Club's Green, and It ia to be hoped that the acquaintance now nude will lead to many friendly interclub matches It is said that one of the Thames men •who was born a cricketer, but has been made a bowler, tried overhand bowling on his Auckland opponent, A droll story is told me of another country district m which a maa was keen on bowling, but had no oppor tunity of gratifying his desires, as there was no club m his district. Fe got a pair of bowls and played a lone hand. He waa worried about a jack, but his wife lent him an egg. When he came to drive, the results were rather cal amitous, but he wes equal to the occasion. He informed bis spouse that one could not make omelettes without breaking eggs,

A Wonderful Invention That May Revolutionise Warfare

It is now possible not only to see round corners and tv look through brick walls, but to keep a watchful eye on what ia transpiring behind you as you walk along the street This flying m the face of all things ocular is anhievei by means of a little machine just invented by Mr W Youlten, and now th 3 property of the Express Contract Company. It is called the infrascope, Ihe proprietors of the infrascope h'pe that New Scot* land Yard may find the machine useful A detective on the track of a suspected person could watch his every movement •without the slightest risk of being himself detected, or a policeman on one side of a wall could observe the opera tions of a housebreaker on the other side ■without showing even the peak of bis helmet But it is m the wars of tfu future fcbat the infrascope will prove of greatest eervioe. Limited experiments have already bf-en made with it In South Africa, a lieutenant, son rf a well known general, having done some ■valuable scouting work armed with the infrascope. His method was to hide behind a boulder, turn the glass eye upon the enemy, and watch their every movement A development of the inf rascope is attached to rifles, Maxims, or heavier guns. Picture to yourself the' Tommy' of the future, reclining at ease m his trench,- his pipe m mouth, his eye fixed on a little square of n irro*, bis finger mechanically pujiing at the trigger, hour after boor if need be, and not a scrap of him visible to the enemy, though the enemy aro as apparent to 'Tommy' as if he were standing bolt raprighfc before them and exposed to their deadly fire And this is no fancy picture, It is the opinion of a great military authority that if this country should unhappily be plunged into another greatwwasr s fighting under eucfa conditions would fcske place 1 And,' he added, optimistically, * Tommy ' would look upon the whole ihingas a picnic or a field day' 'Ihe instrument ia a Fquare metal tube about 12 m by lin; at each end a small a Sector inclined at an angle of 45deg—that is all. There are two kinds of infrascope—the "observation," which may be carried m the pocket and used for scouting or detective pur poses, and ''rifle infrascope," for attachment to any kind of small arms. In the latter case a collapsible "exten sion stock" is fiffixed to the original butt of the riflo. The breech is then on a level with the top of the soldier's helmet. The men he is firing afe are reflected downwards on the little mirror before hie eyes. So is the sight line of his rifle. The soldier, thereforp, sights the weapon without looking at it and fires, i not at the enemy, but at the images m the mirror! But it is the men he hits, and not the reflections. The infras cope is now so perfect that the inventor claims that a man can sight his rifle j much better with its aid than without it. The invention has been submitted to the War Officp, and the authorities are so cognisant of its possibilities that tests have been made with it, aod ': the future equipment of our aoldiera 'a almost certain to include an infrascope
