Tho lattor being to fix his thoughts intently on the form and location of any object in the room, the professor takes his hand in his, and drags Aim at a rapid pace into every corner until Iho article thought of is found. A pecu liarity of Professor Rico's delineations is •that he bas always a stronger impression of rform than of locality, which is probably duo :to his own phrenological dovolopment ibsing high in the former and rather low in tba latter faculty. This was rfotdbly exemplified last night on ssmti occasions, when the article thought of by the subject was correctly described, but could not ba " placed." In two of these -casos it is but fair to the Professor to state that the, reason of his failure to find the article lay in a breach of a srecossury con ■ditMn he imposed—that tho object thought «f muat not be about the person of the sub ject The following notes of the oxperi .monts will beJoUnd interesting :— Mr Thos. Henderson having thought upon • • piece of 'crumpled paper lying under the „ lufflto, "fee Professor, without tho slightest hesitation, led him to tho spot, and picked up the paper. MrG. P. Pierce thought of ,Ms own hat, but, contrary to conditions, icirried it in his hand; tho result being '- ithat the Professor, alter leading him "iatottnd, and touching Various other i&ats, had to give up the attempt. '■)T)r, Murray Moore had meanwhile secretly 'dropped his ring into a hat standing on the ' tibia, and submitted himself to the Pro : feuor to have his secret road. He was led

'■■ tight round the room, and up to a gentle * man, then to the hat in which the ring was 1 dtpositod, and from that to a gentleman in the vicinity, whose pockeU were i tammaged ineffectually. Another dait .up the room, and the doctor was ■ tated np to a gentleman sitting at the 1 other end, a ring on whoso 'inger \vr\s seued bj tho.' professor, -who dropped it With the muk that he had got the object, but not . ■ t!» locality. He therefore gave up the test, Dr. Moore declaring that ho had correctly toed that it was a ring, and disclosing iihwsta had concealed his. The Pro tat to found very rapidly a pip. -> itock is the tablecloth, a shilling hidden ■'■-.■■Biteilli' floorcloth, and a piece of rag ' Awrfont of sight in tho seat of a sofii. h uoifier case, the Professor tras bailled . ■•■ tilßiW the subject carrying the article ' ttcugiiJ' of—a tramway ticket—in his i! tocket; but It was minutely described as a w of'iquare paper, about the size of a -JM&go stanip. The various successful ytads" made by the Professor were greeted ■Titb ntm applause by those present, and 'ma Us partial failures were looked upon 'asproofs of the genuineness of his powers. •J :lt is the intention of Professor Rfce to fala public entertainment next week.

Government Defence measures. Wellington, this day,

Mr Smythe, torpedo instructor, who has charge of laying toip does, &<?, f is busily engaged in preparing for sub marine mines in Wellington Harbonr. He as a number if Arm.d Constabulary assisting him and is vigorously prosecuting hia work. At present he is extemporising a number of oil ely ims fts torpedo casis, and tlioso are being laid in different parts of the harbour. The cablo for connecting these torpedoes is rather heavy for the work, boing of tho kind used for telegraph work, but when laid the difficulty will be over, and it will be found to answer very well. This morning a detachment of Armed Constabulary was exercising, at half-past four, in land torpedo drill, under tho instruction of Mr Smythe. The Star Boating Club ha 3 offered its services to Government in tho naval defence branch. Tho metnbers of this Club are well acquainted with every nook of the harbcur.and it is considered thoy would bo able to render distinguished service as a torpedo corps. The determination of Government to appoint a retired naval officer, resident in the colony, to an important position in the defence of the colony, is not considered a wise step. Moat retired nllicoi's aro fossils of the old school, and certainly have not enjoyed tho advantages of acquiring* the latest knowledge propounded tn technical schools at Home aa have Softie younger men rocently arrived ih the colony. The ap pointment oi an tfdicer of rank to command the volunteer forces of the colony still awaits reply from Colonel Hewitt, to whom the appointment has been offered. Colonel Hewitt is at present principal in the Mlli, taryCollego at Kingston, Canada.

It has been elicited in Court that the accused paid Mr Bennett, of Auckland, with a cheque drawn in tho name of Mr Cheymol, the employer of accused, who was in the habit of honouring Buch cheques. He was out of town when the cheque went to Wellington, and it was returned to Auckland.
