THE CODLIN MOTH.

This destructive pest of the age is now be

coming year by year in an increasing manner the fruitgrower's terror ; and un. less some safe remedy is quickly provided, the whole orchards of the colony must suc cumb to its ravages. Nostrums aro oven propounded in Parliament for its extinction, and answers are given to queries informing us what is intended to bo accomplished by legislation ; but still the moth wings on its way at pleasure, and sets at deliance many of tho theories invented for its capture. Fruitgrowers are now waking up to the fact that really nothing will ultimately banish the moth except the sprayed poison. Either the Paris green or London purple must be applied, thrown on to the young fruitassoonasshaped. Peoplehavehesitated about using tho poison, bub American ex perienceshowsthatitcan be used with safety. The next difficulty has been the spray itself. Several have been offered to the public—all more or less useful. A test trial was recently made by " Hortus " to find out the qualities of some of these sprays. One, especially, was spoken about, and when tested threw out a, fine enough spray, but only went up a few feet above thfi ground, and did not appear powerful enough, unless by great force, to reach the top of the small est trees. One spray, procured from Messrs Porter and Co., ironmongers, Queen-street, which has been specially manufactured in Auckland to their order, gave excellent results. It is propelled by tho " Aquapult, or Portable Hand Force Pump." This spray, which is very cheap, can be fitted on any garden hose and pump, and made to throw to a great distance the finest spray we have witnessed. . Not only fruit, but all kinds of plants, can bo sprayed at pleasure and with the greatest case and safety. The pump fits into a bucket of water which con tains the poisonous mixture, and can bo carried all over the garden and from tree to tree. This is just the time to apply the Paris green or London purple, as some early apples are just formed about as big as marbles. The quantity to use is lib to 160 gallons of water, and in no case use it stronger. Some have injured the foliage by applying an over-dose. If an application is given now, and another in two or three weeks, then growers can rely that their fruit will be saved from tho codlin moth. The poison should bo well mixed with tho water. Tho best time to apply tho spray is in cloudy weather. Wo understand that a great number of persons are determined to give this now remedy a trial this season.

AUCKLAND INSTITUTE

The usual monthly meeting of tho mem. bers of tho above Institute was held on Monday evening in the Museum Build ings, when there was a good attendance. Professor Thomas presided. Mr Percy Smith read a paper on the neology of the Kermadec Group. He gave a short sketch of the position and history of the islands. He stated that the whole group comprised 8,200 acres, of which Sunday Island measured 7,200 acres. The {jroup was wholly a volcanic region of recent date, and was in tho lino of volcanic action stretching from Ruapehu to Tonga and Samoa. Tho islands stood on a plateau of from 300 to 1,200 feet in depth, and were really the tops of volcanoes lying on this plateau, Sunday Island being a mountain about 5,000 feet high. _ There were two distinct craters in tho islands, and there were still some few fumaroles at the foot of the cliffs of tho old craters. Various eruptions were on record, and the early settlers left an account of a threatened outburst, as also did some later inhabitants. An interesting account was then given of the craters, and the various beds of lava. From Mr Bell he had ascer tained that thore was a distinct falling off in the escape of steam from tho fumaroles at the time of tho Tarawcra eruption, thus proving connection with the New Zealand volcanic system. The writer also thanked Professor Thomas for classifying the speci mens of rocks brought back from the islands by him. . , - Professor Thomas then explained that tiie rocks were fragmentary and in the form of scoria and lava of a basic nature. Pebbles from the shore wero stated to be composed of hornblende granite. Where these pebbles came from it was impossible to say afc present but they might possibly be tho remains of an ancient lan°d which had preceded the present vol canic formation. Tho remainder of the paper contained information of a technical character. ' ~ _. Mr Cheeseman read a paper on the fauna and flora of the Kermadec He con- Sered that tho origin of the Kerma dec flora must be sought for in two opposite directions; that, the larger anT more important portion had emi paper was very interesting, and was dis cus=ed afc considerable length. Mr L Cussen read a paper on the physiography and geology of the King Country He had been engaged in the SSation of the district, and had com- SSPhS observations while so employed The,erahd and beautiful scenery of the districtparticularly pleased Mr Cussen, mSI he save a vivid description of his m prfsionf As the hour was late the other papers were not read.

CITY SCHOOLS COMMITTEE.

The boy struggled, and caused injuries to the teacher which brought on a disease from which she was now suffering. Ib was decided to inform the Board of the circumstances in this case, to recommend that Miss Nicholson be granted three months' further leave of ab sence, and that her position bo temporarily filled by another teacher. Crowded. ■— Mr Harfc, headmaster of the Nelson-street School, wrote that that insti tution was overcrowded, and suggested that extra accommodation should be pro vided before the summer sob in.

Quarter Money. —Some discussion took place on this subject, and norae printed forms used in the Beresford-strcet School were approved : The matter was left in tho hands of bhe chairman.

BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.

After the ordinary business had been trans acted at the City Schools Committeo meet. ing last evening, some discussion took place reference to efforts now being made to introduce Bible - reading in the State schools. Mr Farrell introduced the question by drawing attention to the recent discussion in the Diocesan Synod, and ho thought it remarkable that the clergy had taken a stand for denominational education and .that the laity were against it. Ho believed this state of things would assist the op ponents of tho present system of education to gain their ends, and he thought the Committee should express their disappro bation of anything that would poinb in that direction. Mr Blades was of opinion that the Committee could take no action in the matter, and Mr Gorrie agreed that no action could be taken at present. He thought, however, that if there was any prospect of a bill being introduced in the direction of denominational education or Bible-reading, the Committeo could call a public meeting of householders to deal with the matter. There would, he said, no doubt be a great contest on those questions in the near future. Mr Crowther thought that the opponents of tho present system of education gob little encouragement in the Synod, but Mr Farrell contended that sub stantial encouragement was given, at all even's by the clergy. Some further dis cussion took place, bub no resolution was come to in the matter.

SALE OF WORK AND CHRISTMAS TREE.

Last evening the Foresters' Hall was crowded by persons anxious to view the Christmas tree and attend tho sale of work in connection with St. Peter's Presbyterian Church, Surrey Hills. The stalls wero pre sided over by Mesdames Somerville, Evans, Skeene, Montiie, Garrick, Watson, Buchan an, and Pinch; also Messrs Gilmore (2), Palmer (2), Finch (2), White, and Spoor. The ilowcr stall was under tlio charges of the Misses Palmer, who pushed trade vigorously amongst the male portion of the audience. Mrs Pinch and her two daughters attended to the refreshment stall. Each person on entering the room received a ticket entitling them to one of the prizes on the Christmas tree. Naturally, tho lovo of chanco, inherent in all, caused tho greatest interest to centro on the Christmas treo, and throughout the evening tho place was thronged by persons waiting eagerly to hear their number called. Perhaps the most interesting thing in the room Waa a spinning wheel, which was exhibited and worked by Mrs Aims. Owing to tho novelty of tho sight, this lady's operations soon gathered a crowd around hereager to witness tho method of converting wool into worsted. During the evening Mr Carter sang " Oh, tho Bonnie Hills of Scot land." Selections were also played upon the piano afc intervals. Tho sale of work opened again this after noon. To-night the Christmas tree will again bo in full swing, so that a large at tendance may bo anticipated.

IMPROMPTU ASSEMBLY.

On Monday night Mr Munro's Scotch danc ing pupils and friends held a most enjoy able impromptu assembly in tho Masonic Hall, Karangahape Road, ,when over thirty couples wero present. Tlio course of tuition having closed, it was tacitly agreed that some sort of winding-up festivity should take place, but beyond the expression of a general inclination in that direction no ar rangements were made. When it was found on Mondaynighfcthatguests were arriving in large numbers, many of them in full High land garb, it was resolved that an assembly should take place. Mr A. Wright was chosen M.C., and Mr W. Henry assuming the management of the financial depart ment, an excellent entertainment was speedily organised. A programme of Scotch and other dances was drawn up, and to the music (violin and piano) of Messrs Mac kay and Sinclair, dancing was entered into with great zest. The Highland Reel, Reel of Tulloch, Petronella, etc., were danced by large numbers, who showed an intimate ac quaintance with the different "steps"— the young colonial Scots vicing with the Old Country veterans in their zeal and agility in performing the national dances. Mr Karaitiana evoked loud applause by his dancing of the Highland Fling. Mrs Falkner was enthusiastically applauded for her performance, in Highland costume, of that picturesque dance the Sheantreaus, while two little girls, Misses Goldie and Kelly, won hearty plaudits by performing the Highland Fling in company. The ball-room presented a brilliant appear ance with the many coloured tartan kilts and sashes, while, in keeping with the in formal character of the gathering, several ladies could be seen dancing in ordinary walking dresses and hats. The spirit of Scottish beraeliness and heartiness pervaded all the proceedings, and the happy gathering did not break up until after mid night, when "Auld Langsyne " was sung as a fitting./mai'e without the objectionable im provised stanza which last week aroused the ire of an old Scot. Ample refreshments, liquid and solid, wore provided almost on a moment's notice by Mr Johnston, baker, Karangahape Road, and were partaken of in the course of the evening.
