Very few love or -'1110011 missives sent yesterday. Mr Maeandrew states that Sir Q. M. O'Korke is " a perfect model of a Speaker." Meeting to appoint trnant officer for tho city to-night. Bad bonks are the public fountain of vice. There are 138 males and 17 females in Mount Eden Gael. " Sentenced to death, 2 malo-i," is an itom ia fcho roport. TheWanganui "Herald " has in difguat thrown over the Press Association. A large awainp fire at Paeroa yesterday destroyed a good deal of fencing and grass. Tho London "Standard" states that borrowing only maintains tho solvency of ■Queensland. Now Zealand frozen njftton in realising 4Jd per pound in London ; Ausira'inn meas a farthtDg le^s.. ' i-, The Albert medal has been conferred on Wm. Goldwin, of Queeneland, for gallan iry.

Labour test for the unemployed. Pro posal to stop the charity allowance of the "labour agitator." Captain Wm Donaldson, of the ebip Hurunui, died at Wellington of liver disease yesterday morning. An ounce of keop-your-mouth sbut ia better than a pound of explanation after you have said it. Consternation at Kotorua because of a re port that all Government work 3in the dis trict are to be stopped. Messrs Jonas, Sutter and Kerr were yes terday elected as the borough representa tives on Tiojani Harbour Board. I)r. Connolly is a well-known turfite at Wanganui, where he races under the name of " Mr Nugent." Why not 'and the Government steamer Hi' n a to Tonga? She is not afraid of "ujuiouea !" At Gisburne, Messrs Dickeon and Town ley were yesterday elected the borough re presentatives on the Harbour Board. When a man becomes firmly convinced that he is a genius, it is then that, the fringe slowly begins to form on the bottom of his trousers.

Wellington Opera House Company are in deep water, and may have to go into liquidation. The capital is £10,000, and the building has coat nearly double. Xwenty-twodairiesin Sydney and suburbs were recently inspected and condemned. Several were in a disgraceful state. Are the Auckland dairies ever inspected ? Fellow-townsman (to manufacturer): " Hullo, Jackecrow ! Your workß closed ? How's that ? I understood you wore busy." Jackserew (brasi-founder): —" So wo are; but our 'anda took 'emselves off to-day to join the pr'ceesion o' the unemployed."' Jnvercaigill Borough Council last night opened tenders for plant and pipeß for waterworks when that of Judes, Ceulson, Stokee, and Co., London, £8,166, was accepted. They have some saurian monsters at Taranaki. Two sons of Mr Charles Oliver were attacked by eels last week while bathing in the Mangorei River. The eldest, a lad of about sixteen, got a nasty bite just below the calf of the left leg. The other lad was eeized by the toes, while wading in the waterless than a foot in depth. ,

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Wellington is beginning to lift up its head, and to claim recognition among the cities of the colony. From the ,tone of the remarks made by the " Post" there is an implied admission that hitherto the dignity of Wellington has only been sustained by its cheek ; but now ' that, by clever manoeuvring and manipula tion with the Public Works Department, it has secured a lion's share of the railways constructed in the North Island.it begins to think it ia entitled to advance other , claims to recognition, as a city^ Hdnce the altered tone cf the local press. Referring to the terms of disparagement which have in the pas-t beeti appiied to iheEmpire city, the "Post1! saye: '-Very different now is the tone' in which Wellington is epbken of, throughout, thecolony. Canterbury, Otago.' and Auckland no_ louger ; look down on it. with a pity akin to contempt. They are much more inclined to envy its geogra phical position, its nobie harbour its splendid back country (now opened up by railways), its growing trade, its increasing population, and its extending tuburbs nnd multiplying induetriee."

The subject of submarine boats and their application to naval warfare seems just now to be engaging the serious attention of naval architects at Home in consequence of the recent appearance of several of these strange vessels, which seem to fulfil, in a satisfactory manner, . all too* conditions required. The necessity that has been found to increase, the size of tor pedo boats—greater speed being imperative —renders them le.s able than ever to ap proach an enemy unobserved. This is so much the case that not long ago Lord Chas. Beresford laughed to scorn an attack by torpedo boats, and offered, if a veßeel were placed at his disposal, to show how easily they could be avoided. , The idea _of submarine boats dates back to the time of, James 1., when a man named Drebell invented one, which was tried upon the Thames. It was propelled by oars, and some means of purifying, the air, after use by passing it through certain chemicals! seems to have been used. Constantly from that date have inventors, especially in Amer ica during the war.produced vessels for this kind of work, but not till quite latelyhas any practical result been obtained. Laßt year' Mr Nordenfelt, the eminent maker of machine guns, perfected a submarine boat, which was sold to the Greek Government. Two more on the same model wore soon after sold to the Turkish Government These vessels are about 64 feet long with a speed of about 9 knots, and of cigar shape. They derive I heir propelling power from heatt-d water, pumped into compart ments fore and aft, under great pressure. One of these boats can run for 12 hours without wanting a fresh supply of eteam fresh air being supplied by rising td the tu.face. But a Inter inveurion of Mr Nordenfelt quite eclipses these boats; it is one that can travel 18 knots, and will carry engiues indicating 1,300 horsepower on board. This vessel is now being built by the Barrow Shipbuilding Co. The plan of attack seems only to use the But.merging powers of the boat when discovered by an c-nemy, or when attaching «, torpedo. It has been found impoasiblo to übo a spar torpedo with submarine boats. Gliding along with ut sound or sparks, with only the look-out place—a dome of gioss 2ft in circumference— abovo water, these boats can approach an enemy's vessel unseen even under the ttarching electric light' Then, when alongside, She sinks beneath the doomed vessel.and two torpedces are re leased, which being made buoyant by means of air vessels, rise one on either side of tho keel, where they fix themselves ; the attack ing boat then quickly makes eff, firing the torpedoes through a connecting wire.

i A representative of the well known paper "Science" lately took a trip in a similar boat, the invention of an American, and built by the Submarine Monitor Company. The discovery that caustic soda liberates heat when absorbing steam-is made use of in this boat, no fire being required to heat tbe boilers. -AT. half-hour's trip was-made, aoda depth of 40 feet maintained, th.'oirat the Fend of that time being pure* '"___, tha heat not inconvenient.; Submarine warfare haa thus emerged from the world of speculative theory, and become » possi bility, and the next great naval war will witness doubtless the terrible action *of this new weapon. Ojje pleasurable feature presents, itself in these boats;, it is the absence of motion from the'-waves? 'Some day,' "perhapsi ■< travellers, prone, tM tea sickness, -will patronise submarine in pre ference to other kinds of vessels when crossing the briny.
