The nature of the manipulating process ia nat revealed, but Mr Stewart claims that it will cause maize to yield more sugar than cane. The second paper la a roport on tho forclosing by W a"i i y' L Director of Loodon Agricultural bchool, who saya that ho knows of no con dition of plant life fatal to such a proposal, inough Mr Stewart's statement can hardly bo accopted without proof, it is conceivable that in maize which is allied to sugar pro ducing sorghums, there would bo no in superable difficulty in inducing pro duction of cano sugar rather than starch, or starch cellulose, grape, and cano sugar are very little different in chomical composition. Ho rpgrots that this part of Now Zealand is too cold for maize as he would like to make experiments on the subject. If this woro done it should bo under tho supervision of a agricultural choiiiist.

Mr E. Menzies Found Drowned.

Shortly before 11 o'clock this morning tho dead body of a man was observed floating in tho harbour close to tho end of Queen street Wharf. Constable Macky, of the wator-polico, and others, put off in a boat belonging to H.M. Customs, although it was blowirjg very hard from tho westward, picked up the body and brought it along side of tho steps. Sergeant Clark having been informed of tho occurrenco, thon had tho body conveyed to the morgue. The body was that of an oldorly man, well and fully clothed, oxcepting that the hat was missing. In tho pockets were eovoral small articles, but nothing to load to iden tification. Later on the body was identi fied as that of Mr Menzies, said to be a single man botweon 03 and 66 years of ago, proprietor of a hotel at Tauranga, and at different times licensoe of tho Royal Mail, Victoria, City Club, and Auckland Hotels of this city. Be had been staying at the Star Hotel, Albert-street, where a large collection of his personal effects still remain. They include about £15 caeh, besides a gold watch and jowellery. Menzios was seen to leave the Star Hotel shortly after 6 p.m. yesterday, and he was in tho Commercial Hotel between G and 7. He was then in a very despondent mood, but sober. It is supposed that he had gone down the wharf during the evening, and accidentally fallen overboard, although it sooms strange that no one should havo witnessed the mishap. A rumour wes current late this afternoon that Monnics had beon soon alivo early to-day, but lacks confirmation, and from circumstances already stated appears improbatjlo. An inquest will bo hold to morrow.
