Some Recent local Inventions.

A Rtibblt Exterminator, etc,

Several months ago we mentioned the fact that a gentleman of eoine means had arrived here from London with the object of patent ing and working ft novel invention for the wholesale trapping of rabbits with a view to their exportation to the English market. Since then the gentleman in question—Mr George Williams, of Wallace-street, Pon sonby-haa been diligently at work, and not only has he completed the models of hi 3 rabbit exterminator and patented it, but he has also evolved two other inventions of great economic value, which will be heard ° For the present, however, he intends to devoto himself mainly to the oapturo and profitable utilisation of bunny, whose fe cundity hoa been so remarkable in the South Island that a abort time since a writer in a Dunedin paper gravely proposed that an entire county in Otago—Wakatipu, wo bolievo — should bo oncloaed and given ovor ontirely, for a Bpecifiod period, to the rabbit, in tho hope that when ho should havo ontirely denuded the lands of their existing vegetation a plague of fainino might pweop him out of existence. Mr Williams rolios upon no such quixotic or questionable method of coping with the dilliculty. On tho contrary, ho has elabo rated a portable uppaiatus, inexpensive in character and easily worked, by means of which ho is prepared to guarunteo his ability in a single night to trap and carry off at least 90 per cent, of the rabbitß to bo found upon any area of grounci a milo square Inequalities of surfaco or othor natural diliiculties of posi tion oflbr no impedimont to his opera tion lie can work either upon mountain or nkin At proeeht tho chief agent in keep ing down our superabundant rabbit popu lation in poison - chiolly phosphorus-for which the Government annually make a largo outlay, and tho rabbit is only valuort 1 for hie pelt, and of thorn toino mno million^! wuro exported from the colony last. year. Mr Williams, howevor, discards all toxo locical aid, and by means of rabbit proof wire foneOH and self-acting traps, which will capture a million rabbits as oaeily us a sooro, ha will carry out his campaign. Those ionces, too, will not bo in the way of sheep or cuttle, for thej aro co arrangod as to bo loworod or hosted at will out of tho way of domestic animals, Tho inventor now awaits a convenient op portunity of exhibiting, tindor ollicial (supervision, the thorough efficacy of his plan, and meanwhilo he is negotiating with tho Governments of New South Wales, Victoria, anil South Australia, lor its Intro djiOtlan 'to j.bcwe (jol^niea, ' Diirjiiy iho robont visit of tho Coluniiit Soroiary (Hon. I. Bunltley) to Auckland he visited Mr Williamsi's roriJonce, aim was most favour ably impressed with tho ingenuity, service ability, ainj groat worth of tjja invention. Tlio public tyiu.l of tho invention will most probably bo mailo in the proyinpo of Wol lii>Ktan. . . Mr Williams's second invention is a kind . of auxiliary to tho foregoing, Jt is a light and portablo frouzing apparatus mounted on wheels, and iL-t purpose is In receive and neep KAOBt and fro-h (ho bodies of I Iho captured rabbits until they arg Je livorcd ovor ta Ji'roxon M«»t Agoncies, which will undertake their convey ance to tho English market. Hero, it is expected, they will moot with a ready sale, as there is afwuyn a lunjo ani undatisflud demand for rabbits in London, tho usual 'ncail priCO Joe them being from Cd to 8d per Ib. . „ , Invention No. I! will bo n roguinr God sond to tradesmen in (joneial ami (o \\to duco uiorehants in particular. It. if nothing moronor less tl»'»noni|rt proved rnttrup which, once sot and baited,will coufcingo operations for a day, a wetk, or S month, iho e.: ploring rat outside seos nothing to rouse tin suspicions, but everything invites him to venture further, and when he has venture! ho if. mddenly and inevit ably caught, while the trap present* tho same innocent front to tho next arrival Onro tiapptd, escape is impossible, and Whiskornndos has no torhiro to endure. With this trap Mr Williams i» prepared to undertake commifwions for ridding any cc- | tabliehmont of its rut population and to ; provide tho means of keeping it down to low-water mark. Roller Washing Board. Messrs ('arlilo and Kcilly, of View Avenue, Mount Kdon, aro tho inventor? nnrl manufacture™ of un improved wasaing hoard, which should bo lvolcomed by weary bmirowivo?, who dud iho weekly ivnehinfj nmoiiu tho im-r-t uuluoua of tlielr duties. Tho feature of tho now invention ia (hat the frame, instead of bring filled up with rorrngatod iron or wood, is lilted with lifctlo revolving rollers of wood, and tho ellcct of this changoia to roako tho labour ol washing much lighter, while tho most delicate fabricp can be treated without tho slightest danger of being injured. The inception of this very ingenious oontrivance i.« n'uo to a makeshift washing-bonr.', eoiJßtruotcd in a bush district on this plan, when it was found that the revolving rollers greatly lightened tho labour and addod to tho efficiency of the apparatus, Iho whoio thing is light and handy, made of seasoned kauri timber, and is ontiroly of local pro duce and manufacture. Thoy will shortly bo placed on Iho market, and meanwhilo all interested may inspect one of tho now wash boards at tho Stak piijoo,

Were the tailings found to be payable, ho would erect a trial apparatus in ordor to as certain the best method of treatment. Mr Hills stated that he had the means to carry out the work alluded to, and mentioned as a reference that his uncle, Mr T. C.

OUR GOLDFIELDS

Kabangahake, this day,

Adeline.—The only work going on in this mine at present is that of rising from the low level to meet the winze which was started from the intermediate workings some time since. The lode here is 12in thick, and the stone appears to be of medium quality. Driving is being continued on No 3 lode, averaging l'2in thick, and affording mortar prospects of gold.

ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. 1 ' '^

London, December 2. From an Anglo-Colonial point o{ viewjif the pact week Jias been the dullest of the year. There is absolutely nothing doing • * in fact, one of the telegraphic correspond ents tells me he has not had to supplement i Router's despatches with any special item I of colonial interest for four days, an almost unheard-of fact.

Public interest seemß centred^ jrjgt a j p reß> ent on the loathsome det^Vla of the Colin'. Campbell divoicejca!^ to the exclusion of everything else. List night's " Jivomnu- Standard " devoted eleven closely-printed columns to the day's proceedings. Lady Colin, the "leading lady "of the revolting drama, ie well-known throughout the Ans tralias as tho author of sundry taaty articles on London society which appeared in the Sydney '•News," and woro signed Belten brosrt and "Tho Daughter of a Duke." The last-named mom da plume (-which wa« of oourso wholly incorrect) was not, I am told, Ltidy Colin'w own eoleetion, hue the inven. tion ot tho Sydney .editor, whose know. ledgo of the nuances of tho peorage cannot bo very e>;ton?iv&.

The iiitmantling of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition proceeds apacy, and in a very low days now the grci\toy part of tbo buildings will bo given up to their winter occupants—tho ruta, Sir Francis 801 l views with regret the dispersion of tiio various collections, being of opinion that the ones f;ot togother for tho Institute will not be nearly as goocl Sir Graham Berry, on tho contrary, thinks they will bo bettor.

Tho appointment of Sir Frederick Abel) to be Or^auising Secretary of the Imperial Institute ia an excellent ono, and the death- Ijloiv of the hopea of tho Owen clique. Sir l'liilip had hoped to seciiro thi3 billet for his nephew, Mr Edward Owen, CMG, Sir Julius You iiaa»t id still talked of :s3 a li'KLiy perron to bo ofl'ored ono of tbo uitices iv connection with tho new build «■>£■

Tho difficult question or how to suitably reward Sir Philip Owen's " old man P,f th^ teii,'* Somors Vine, hua b^ora solved b,y. knighting that noity gentleman v/ithoiji giving him o.ny d??oiatio.n. Mr Sowers Vino will in future dovota his energies to snukiay the Albert Hali piy. It has hither to b'.'oeu a, dopiorablo speculation.

The i/aeon was much diapleasyi when eho hoard the decision that had «een coma to with regard to the final closing of tho " Colindioa. Her Msjeaty waa warmly in favour of ihe le-ppining next year, and con siders ejse snould have beon conaulted 0^ the question. Sir Francis Ball thinks tii6 colonies tlionl 1 protest unanitr.ou.Bly against tha iidmiision ot British exhibits to the Imperial In&iit'Mto. \t carried out, the alteration will altogether ttultify the original schejae. Mr .Baden Powell's paper on the " Imperial Institute," in the new number of thy '-'Rational lieview," merely reiterates the views of the " Times."

Tho death is announced of Mr R, 8, Murray Smith, son of tho late Agont- Sioberal for Victoria, from an'attack of diphtheiiu, at Oxford. lilt; I'iince of Wales's appeal to Pro vincial Mayors „ for funds towards the imperial Inttituto has beer, coldly received, ana ie- generally voted a great mis take.

Mr Alfred Burton, the New Zealand photographer, ie exhibiting hia magnificent collection of views of tho Hot .Lakes, 4c. f in tho provinces.

Mr A. S. Go wdio lectured before the Balloon Society at tho Aquarium tho other ovooing on ■j, new mail route to Australia via Kiq and Valparaiso. In tup future, according to Mr Govydia, wo shall travel b^ steamey to Kio, tfisrieo across tho Continent 'in palatial l'ullinan care to' Valparaiso, anfl lroni Valparaiso to Auckland, tiew Zealand, by another steamer. Though the mileage is not, ilr Goffdie admits, less thi>n via duty, or San ij'ranoisco, tho tavinjj of time will, somehow, be considerable. We should, I.c uunouncoJ, as if it were very extraor dinary, he üblo to reach Wow Zealand in 38 days. Several of tho aydience had re ceutiy returned from !• o\v Zealand via Cape Horn or Jlagelkin in 37 days 20 hourri by the 5.6 Taiuui, consequenUy they wota not greatly impressed. '

Registration of Births.

(To the Editor). Sir, —I applied yesterday morning at

Registry Office to register my joungest child, and tho young man in charge told me that he could rot do so, as it was over the six months allowed by law, but had 1 come a week pooDer ha could have done po on my paying him the sum of live shillings. Having forgotten to register the child, he telU mo, and no doubt he has authority tor doing so, that I mast do the extraordinary action of getting some friend to lay an information against my own sejf before it can be done. As others' may probably be in the same fix, possibly you can help me. W. H. Dampier. [There seems no other way out of tho dilemma than that suggested. Six monthi is ample time for registration. The "fix'1 of our correspondent should prove a caution to parents in general.]
