THE SILK INDUSTRY.

• - . « ■ ■ .-. ■.. tl • '. . Payable Price Offered for Cocoons. (BY TKLEGBAPH-OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Wellington, this day. At the annual meeting of the Philosophic- Society last evening, the Rev. F, W. Pennefather, late Private Secretary to the Governor, mentioned that during his recent visit to Great. Britain' he was informed by Mr Richards, the owner of large Bilk mills in Yorkshire, that he now possessed machinery which en abled, bim to use the cocoons through which the worms bad eaten their way out, Mr PeDnefather -tated that since his return he had received a letter from Mr Rickards expressing his readiness to pur chase in, New Zealand several thousand pounds weight of cocoons- injured by the worms, the price to be between 3a and _s per pouad. An interest ing discussion, in which Dr. Hector and the Hon. G. M. Waterhouse took part, followed.' The goneral opinion Was that now the cocoons eaten through by the worms nre no longer worthless, a profitable industry could be established in New Zea land by rearing silkworms and sending home the cocoons after tho worms had escaped from their confinement.

Newton and City.

(To the Editor ) Sib; -A length ot the Great North Road from the cornor of Ponsonby and Karanga hapo Roads han boen ordored to be formed and metalled at the joint expense of the city and tbo Newton.borough. The Mayor and Council.of the latter are carrying on the work, it seems. This is the.wj. yOf it.: -They first carted a .largo-f9]^trti ly of clay, at a very considerable.(Plipnd spread it on one-half of the iroad.-^Having pre viously a wooden kerb down to the sup posed level, they then added a piece of new kerbing on the top of that. The next pro cess was to cart away the clay they "put there a short time ago, it a considerable expense. This is under the joint city and Rewtonj^pritract. It seems that as soon as tho clay was catted away, they filled up the epaco wilh scoria Irom eighteen inches, to about two- feet deep, blue metal to be: put on ~ the top of that. If the Newton ratepayers are" satisfied at this gross waste of their money, co be it;. but if the city ratepayers aro to pay their portion of this two feet of scoria, then I strongly protest against it—l am, V&C, A.CIW _U-__>AT£J_.
