The captain surveyed the harbour before entering, and found it quite safe. WELLINGTON, this day. DEFICIENT WATER SUPPLY. The-water supply is very short here now, the water being turned off a couple of times during the day, and generally all through the nighlfand no water, there being nothing to supply the city but what is stored in the reservoir. The city may in fact be said to be supplied by a thin dribbling creek. NEW WATERWORKS. The new dam, however, is in rapid course of completion, and when com pleted, will throw back a regular lake of water. The dam is well situated in a sharp bend of a gully, and the " bud " foot of the embankment consists of a concrete wall, six feet through. The embankment will be made of clay and gravel in layers, the whole being of enormous thickness. One fault in it, however, is that the pipes will lead mto the centre of the dam instead of to one side. To compensate in some respects for this, there will be a centre wall of concrete in the earthwork. The Lydia Howarde Troupe are going to try to make a three months stay here * they did so well last time. Business still appears to be sound, though several failures are predicted. THE LATE NATIVE MINISTER.— STRANGE DEATH. The Rev. Mr Paterson in a _ sermon on Sunday, and Major Hutchinson in a lecture, to young men, made a touching and eloquent reference to lessons of life and death of Sir Donald McLean. A _>oy, a son of Mr J. Blarney who had recovered from diphtheria was suddenly attacked with vomiting, and several stomach pains. In one of the paroxysms he drew from his throat a worm seven inches long exclaraing that there was another which had slipped back directly. Afterwards he be came totally collapsed, and soon expired.

DUNEDIN, this day. THE JANE ANDERSON COLLIDES WITH A WHALE. In connection with the passage of the ' Jane Anderson from Kaipara, Captain : Sanders reports a rather unusual incident , on the 31 stDccember, at 11 30 a. m., off Cape Campbell bearing N. half W., 30 miles. ; The Captain, who had not long laid down in his cabin, having been up all night, . coming through Cook Straits, was startled out of his sleep by the vessel going through ; water at about eight knots, receiving a ' severe shock as though she had come into i collision with some wreckage. Immediately ; running on deck, he was surprised to see a large whale just clear of the schooner, carry ing with it a portion of the false keel. The pumps were immediately sounded, and finding the vessel was rapidly making water, an inspection was held, when the leak was discovered to be forward. It was al_o seen that the forefoot had been dis placed, and was hanging across the stern. Nothing could be done to ease the leak, so she was kept on her course, and having a favourable northerly wind, she made a quick run down. Several of the men were pitched out of their bunks by the force of the collision. NAPIER, this day. A HOMESTEAD BURNT. Mr James Russell's homestead at Wo hum was burnt.down last night. It was only partially insured. Alter Sir 'Donald McLean's funeral, Mr Ormond left for Wallingford. He leaves for Wellington shortly, THE CHURCH CONTROVERSY.

HOW ARE MUSICAL SOUNDS PRODUCED.

It is our intention in this, and a few following articles, to briefly review some 'ot the most important accessions.which the research of the past few years has contributed to this art. \V c shall endeavour throughout, to be as brief as justice will permit, and as.untee mical as a can did consideration of our subject will allow, so that every intelligent reader may iollow us. In order that our following papers may be clear, let us enquire how musical sounds are produced; It is well known that sound cannot pass through an empty space, or space divested of its atmosphere. This is proved by striking a bell under the receiver of an air pump, rrom which the air has been exhausted, when no sound wall be audible, even though the ear be placed close, to tho receiver. From this demonstration it follows that sound must consist of some move ment, winch, while passing through the sur rounding air, becomes audible, ilow is this movement propagated to a distance ? 1 o answer this question, we will refer you in illustration to the best known type of such a motion, the sea wave If we watch any object floating on the surface of the sea, we shall notice as the suc cessive waves reach it. that it simply rises and fulls a little, while the waves pass on with tho same velocity as before. It is to this form of movement, (the undulatory form) we must refer the propagation of sound. Again, the surround in"- air may be compared to a perpetual clastic spring which, if suddenly compressed, instantly expands auain, and this portion being surrounded with other portions unaffected as yet, are in tuun acted upon in like manner, until the whole stratum is indefinitely disturbed. Precisely in this way is sound propagated, lhc air is the medium throngh which the sound-waves travel to and fro, and Us elasticity the sound board which renders such waves audible. At ordinary temperatures the velocity or sound through the air is 1100 feet per second, but through water its velocity is four times as ia,st. This may seem somewhat strange when we romombor that water is some SOO times heavier than air; but the explanation lies m the fact that its elastic force exceeds that or the air m a far groaterfratio, this property more than com pensating for its greater inertia. Is ow all that is necessary to produce a musical note is, that a succession of regular disturbances should be impressed upon the air, at very short intervals, for if they be made irregularly the result will bo toneless, and. what is generally called a noise. A stretched string produces a musical note by im pressing on the air a regular success;on of blows, for when it is drawn by the finger to one side and let go, it instantly springs back past the central line it occupied when at rest, and, car ried by its own impetus to tho same distance on tho opposite side, keeps vibrating backwards and forwards, until the effect of its disturbance is lost iand tho note it produced,dies away. Now there is one very important property about vibrating strings, which is of primary value in the doctrine of musical sounds, and ni which lies the solution of tho problem, in what noes quality ot tono consist ? This is called the harmonies of -the fundamental note;. Let anyone try tho fol lowing experiment: Draw the bow across a string at tension, and immediately take up a feather and damp the string at its middle point, and they will hear the loud fundamental tone replaced by a more feeble one, octave to A. Now draw the bow aqross the string again, and. damp it one third of its length from the end, and the resulting tone will be a fifth above the octave which is called the second harmonic. This goes to show that one single vibration may be resolved into many others of an elementary nature, for the act of damping the string has no power m itself to produce higher notes; they must there fore have been parts of the original tone.— b. J. Lambert, F.R.A.S.

NORTH SHORE WESLEY AN CHAPEL.

The North Shore is improving year by year, and is fast becoming an established township, with its hotels, public hall, church, pleasure gardens, etc. The Wosloyans have lon£ had a prosperous causa liero, but have not until lately seen the way clear to build a suitable place of worship. For some lime back they have used tho DevonportHall as their chapel. The internal get un of this hall with its stage appendages, and half nude painted figures, etc, does not, it is contended, harmonise with the religious ordinances of divine worship on the Sabbath. The supporters of the cause engaged the services of Mr E. Bartley, to design a new churph for them, which gave such satisfaction that it was determined at once to advertise tenders for the same, to be built on a site adjoin ing the Public Hall. The tender of Mr J. Harvey was accepted. From the plans, the building appears in every way suited to the requirements of the district. When erected it will be a conspicuous and ornamental addition to the North Shore edifioes. The design is Gothic, the entrance protected by a massive looking porch.. The front of the building relieved by corner buttresses, finishing at the top with octagonal flnials. The apex of roof is also finished with a wrought iron flnial of orna mental design. The entrance is by a paic 04. double action swing doors. The window* are Gothic, the top fraitics opening for ventilation. Special ventilation will also be framed in the roof. The pulpit here as elsewhere i 3 to be abolished in favour of the platform or rostrum, 10ft. by 6ft., the front to be formed of heavy balustrades. The roof of the church is to be open timbered, the principals framed out of three kinds of New Zealand woods, kauri, totara, and pohutukawa, whi'-h are to be varnished, and will doubtless havouvei-v ploasinj*fcffect. The building is now fairly commenced, and John Wesley's prophetic speech, though considered at the time by his friends to be boastful, is being brought nearer fulrilmcnt. He said, " The world is my parish- It would have done good old John's heart good If 1113 Gyes could have rested on the latest church going up—another monument to Ms momorv at this remote end of his very extensive parish." The church, when finished, will hold upwards of 250. The first block was laid on Boxing Day. The contractor is pushing on with the work, and the promoters of the causo are determined not to be behindr-hand in pushing on with the important vfovh of getting in. funds.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the Waste Lands Board was held this afternoon, Mr D. A. Tole, Crown Lands Commis sioner, in the chair. Present : Messrs. Joseph May, Mouat, J. L. Campbell, and Benjamin Tonks. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed.

LAND PURCHASES AT THE THAMES,

The chairman intimated receipt of a letter from Mr Jas. Mackay on the siyp j.ct of the land purchases conducted by him at the Thames on behalf of the Govern ment. Accompanying the letter were two returns : (1) Relating to lands for the purchase of which negotiations were still in operation. It enumerated some 35 blocks, and gave a total of 791,433 acres. (2) Related to lands actually acquired from the natives. 11l this return 31 blocks were specified, showing a total of 277,867 acres. Of this average, it appeared from the statemeet of the chairman, that 226,619 acres had already been transfered to the administration of the Board. The balance, 51,348 acres, have not yet been proclaimed' the Waste Lands of the Crown.

It was resolved by the Board "That tho Government be requested to advise His Excellency the Governor to cause all lands in the Thames district, the purchase fof which lias been completed, to be pro claimed, in the usual manner Waste Lands of the Crown.

With reference to a letter received com plaining of the proposed purchase of Te ■Aroha block by Mr Broomhall, the secretary was instructed to write to the Government, asking if any specilic promises had been made to tho writers.

MR. BROOMHALL'S REPLY,

The Chairman next laid certain telegrams before the Board, from Mr. Broomhall, in answer to the resolution to the Board, came to at previous meeting, on the subject by his application for land at the Thames. The telegrams were in effect that Mr. Broomhall approved the conditions of purchase, submit ted to him by the Board subject to some slight explanation on minor points, adding that a letter on the whole subject would be transmitted to the Board by an early mail. Awaiting further information, promised by Mr. Broomhall, the Board decided to allow the matter to stand over for the present. LETTER FROM MR. PRITCTIARD. A letter from Mr. Pritchard was read, in which that gentleman stated that he accep ted the terms proposed by the Board, .sub ject to the approbation of the Association, whom lie would immediately consult on his arrival in England. The Chairman incidentally mentioned that no reply had as yet been received from Mr. Vesey Stewart,' in answer to the resolution of the Board, in the case of Jiis application for an extension of the Kati Kati block.

PATUTAHI BLOCK.

The Chairman next announced the receipt of a very important telegram from the Undersecretary for Crown Lands telative to the intended transference of the Patuhahi Block'to the administration of the Board, lie stated that this block would be a very valuable addition to the estate of the Auckland district. He described it as situated in Poverty Bay ; that it contained about 20,000 acres', and was noted for the very excellent character of its land. It was decided to allow the block to be re let monthly.

Then followed a number of applications for land in different parts of the province.
