TABLE TALK.

Beautiful autumn weather. Very successful holiday yofterday. "Flash " notes and coins in Wellington. Look out for them in Auckland soon. More Volunteer disclosures promised soon. News from Tonga shows the Free Church triumphant. Butcher and baker and candle • stick maker rejoicing. King George has practically suppressed Wesleyoniem. Thus Tonga ehowe the bright example of a Free Church in a Free State ! Five hundred excursioniats went to Hen derson yesterday. There has been abundant rainfall at Mauritius, and the sugar crop promises well. Windy Wellington I Three ovuutq at yesterday's rogatla hud to bo postponed on account of the Drefzo. It is reported that Mr N. G. Barnett will shortly leave Auckland for Sydney. & large meteor fell into the Boa near Wel lington on Wednesday night, causing a great hissing noise. Shares in the Federal Insurance Company are being allotted in London. It is evident that with reference to the Italian Six Hundred at Maesowab, "some one had blundered." General Zene, the commander of the Italian forces in Africa, has been recalled. The greatest1 deproo of cold we have yet had this season .Tbe thermometer fell 10 degrees during the night, and at 7.30 this morning registered 60degs. Mr Downe, of South Australia, with his wife and niece, is to bo presented to the Queen to-day. A fish hawkor waa fined £5 at Chriet ehurch yesterdiy, for exposing for sale barracouta and flatfish under legal Bize. It is rumoured that an Auckland syndi cate has been formed to purchase tho Honui Ironsand Works, Taranaki. The Shaw-Lillywhite cricket team, and: Victorian Eleven are playing a match Sr. I::ra v. Non-Smokers. The latter have :i.a ;u -Lii for the loss of two wickets. Mr Downer intenis to raise the Deceased Wife's Sister question ac the Imperial Conference. There ie a mild sort of lunatic in Otago who sends, at regular intervals, a £1 note to the Board of Education. An Interprovincial Dog Show opened at Christchurch yesterday—there being 224 entries and the quality of the exhibits good. The Australian section of the London Chamber of Commerce has declined to adopt the motions submitted reaped ing subvention to a cheap cable service and the withdrawal of the mail eudsidies. John Jackson, the "old soldier" whom through mistaken kindness the Wellington Benevolent Committee helped off to Grty mouth last week, has been brought bacß and sentenced to four months' imprisonment for robbing his landlord at Masterton. From return of rateable property tinder the Charitable Aid Board, it appears that there is a decrease in the capital value in the United Otago District in the country of £1,427, compared with previous year. In the borough of Dunedin there is an in crease of £23,4G0. Yesterday, at the Autumn Athletic Sports at Invercargill, A. C. Willmott, of Christchurch, won the Mile Bicycle easily,' conceding 100 yards to his opponent, 'jlho Twenty-tive Mile Bicycle itace. for the championship of New Zealand was also won by Wilmott by about 22') yards. Time— 1 hour 36min. 18 l-sth.«eo. At Wellington, evidence is still being led in tbe case in which damages are claimed from Timaru Harbour Board for the loss oi ■ tho ship Lyttelton through alleged careless ness of a Board servant. A Wellington paper, with tbe cool cheek characteristic oi tbe Empire City, cays the reason why H.M.S. Kelson did cot go to Lyttelton or Dunedin was that it was hot thought advisable to risk a vessel like the Nelson, which represents about £600,00.0, in_Lyttoltonor Port Chalmers, there not being sufficient water for her. An information has beea laid against Frank W. Wilmott, manager of the Wel lington Opera House, charging him with making a false declaration in a claim for enrolment, to the effect that he had resided within the Te Aro electoral district for the,' previous ten months.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Two correspondents kav'e lately complained * to us ot. the smoke nuisance from timber, * flour,-and other mills in the ci-^y j and although we have beard no complaint on ; the subject, probably printing-offices might ; bo claesed among tha offenders. We think A it was grim old Carlyle *ho summed up the modern evolution theory in the words, ." the gospel of dirt." It was doubtiess, to a great extent, agrowlfather'd by dyspepsia • hut we may employ a eomewhot analogous expression to embody our modern civilisation. Much of it may be dee oribed under the woido, "the goepel o{ smoke. For after all, smoke is the visible outcome of much of which wg are proud Wherever the throbbiog engine gives life to busy mill or factory, driviug in tome form or other the machinery on which depends- . the power of producing the various thinee of need or comfort or luxury, there we find "smoke" May we not measure the amount of our success ; guage as it were our prosperity by the amount of smoke we produce, just as some years bro Liebig guaged the prosperity of a country by the amount of sulphuric acid which it made and used. Of couree we are all very proud of it, but at the same time there is a : very unpleasant eide to the picture. Which of us has not anathematised the dark volumes of sooty ugliness and defilement pourmg from the grimy mouth of one of ' these Brobdmgiiagion. chimneys when we ' happened to be to leeward of its vomit? Juet look at the results produced by these said cnimnev s in old countries ? In tho Fathuriund, for example, wherb in many a manufacturing district chimneys Btand ' like petrified trees, and, in 1 act, have : taken the place of tba fair oaks and ehna • that once adorned .the landscape. Oan any thing be viUr, uglier, more repulsive than, the outlook in many a town cf busy Lari-

Whereever there has b rno set np, as it were, a. monstrous, cloud o f murky matter hanging by day and night over the sunless houses, of coursoit shows progress. Everyone of those hugo erections of ' chimney stacks means the employment of ity in mills that cover, some of them, acrea of ground ;.and we have reason to be proud" "V" the Bome > " U asked cm we nut have the progress without the smoke' Whenever a man finds it necessary to use Btoain power and the like, - should he not be compel ed to swallow his 6mo ke instead of making us swallow it. Most certainly he should, so far as possible, and ■ some regulation is necessaey aa to th 4 height ot chimneys. Smoke-coaeumiog ap" ' phai.ee are advemsedgalore, but experience shows them to be very partial ratldoteZ ' if .antidotes at ull. I; ne smoke-producing ; powers of our modern steamers, sho«r how ! little h6s been accomplished in the wav ol ' practical apphance for imoke cuMnrnpaoS.. \ The subject « one wortn the attention of ■ the Corporation, and manufactures if it it ' approached in a sensible aud not Z' fanatical way. We have alraady a fair ; crop of chimneye, and new ones J are daUy making their appearance.; Pure au: the great gift of nature, wo «,„ 1 destroy it almost at our pleasure. We eSS ! vitiate it by our manner of life aD d of deatS to any extent; we might e^ily vuiate ,W' 9S to bnog such a pestilence on the S lobX ■ mixed with effluvia from decaj^ o U "S matter, and infectioua ' miju,-^ fnm prevalent d.ssase. The«e should be aba°ed as iar as impossible by wUe pr«cautio n » by plantini? in all soils the trees whiah cie|ns c: the.earth,aidi n vigpr Stß Z^r
