As some of the leading spirits of the Farmer’s Association purchased on Saturday some of the wild West- bronchoes that were oflered for file, we are inclined to think the fiction that was put on the books last spring, favouring the admission of American horses into Canada free of duty will be reconsidered at an Carly date. The scarcity of water in wells at present recalls the experiences of last winter, yet the scarcity seems great- er as some are watering their cattle at neighboring springs who had plenty last year. Many of R. J. Mathew’s old friends M in this part attended sale last 'e'ek and found a large crowd present and the sale a success.

NATURE HAS BEEN LAVISH IN GIFTS TO THE ISLAND COLONY; ,The south island boasts of a mag- nificent range, which includes the largest glacier outside the Arctic regions; fjords more Wonderful than those of Norway, the unrivalled Otera and Buller gorges, the highest. waterfall in the world and in: cold lakes. The north island pxides itself on the largest geyser in the universe. marvellous boiling splingS, hut lakes and extinct and active volcanoes all in the Taupe zone, which gives its name to still another wonder, Lake Taupd, the island’s inland sea. Looking across the lake toward the south the travelr can see at the 'back of Rotoairo the snowclud vol- canoes of Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu. These peaks are invested with a drapery of ice and snow, and from their summits is a constant is- sue of sulphurous steam and smoke in clouds and spires. Until recently these mountains were held sacred by the Maoris, and on the altars of their snow capped craters and glac- ial recesses they ofiered homage to their deified ancestors. Region Full of Interest. The whole place teems with inter- estâ€"history and mythological tradi- tions of the tribal heroes. Every hill and glade, even the trees and flow- ers, have mystic association with demigods, elfs or demons, for the folk-lore of the Maoris is the richest in the world. Half way across Taupo Moana is the forest-clad Island of Motutaiko, which in the past. was the fortified stronghold of a mighty race, but which for many generations has been used as a tribal burying place. On the northern shore, Within a short distance of the township, is the eXtinct volcano of the Tauhara, ris- ing into the air 3,600 feet, and now heavily wooded._ Clearly defined above all forma- tions is a terrace which encircles the lake a hundred feet above the pre- sent level, showing that in olden times the waters of 'l‘aupo were that much higher than at the present day. The western shores of the lake are famed for the rhyolitic cliffs of 1(a- rangahape, 'which rise in a perpen- dicular precipice a thousand odd feet above sixty fathoms of water. There still exist many evidences that these cliffs were once used as a last refuge by natives fleeing from their enemies. Region of Cave Dwellers. Caves abound in Karangahape and all atone time or other served as living places for the, 'l‘aupo natives, who were cave dwellers to a great extent. When giving evidence at the native land court of Taupe twenty years ago the old warrior Hitiri Te Paerata said: . “I was born'in a cave at Kawaka- wa. At Waihaha there is a cave called Oruawaikaha belonging to two tribes. The chief and his father are buried there. Ag Kara‘ngahape Point is a cave which was used as a pt. (fortress) and called Omumutu.” There are other interesting records of the same character, showing that these caves served as birth and death places and fortified abodes of the Maoris, who distinguished them by names, as they do houses and ev- en trees. Close to Karangahape was is a native settlement, which numbers among its residents thb old Chief Hitiri. Hitiri is a warrior of. proud ancestry, the hero of many 'valiant battles. In 1864 he led the hopeless defence of Orakau pa, which fell to an overwhelming British force under General Cameron. Hitiri's fat‘he. and other relations were killed, but he and his sister, who was wounded, esâ€" '“r v â€". These sole survivors of the fight still entertain travelers with ac- counts of how they held the fort against tremendous odds, and finally succeeded in breaking through the line of military in their escape.‘ Tampa Lake.

Once a Volcano. According to geographical data the lake of Taupo was once an immense volcano. A final touch of variety is lent to its remarkable surroundings by the stretches of pumice deposit which at intervals coat many miles of the country. This gray ejecta ob-. trudes its melancholy dullness on syl- van grove. and forbidding clifl land valike, but seems to form an appro- priate background for the picturesque Maori villages, where the dignified native pursues his mystic way in the heart of the thermal district, two hundred miles from the busy city of Auckland. whhh shower: the Me and bank! with a. shawl of golden petals and which won the notice of Rudyard Kipling' in a. poem that recorded his visit . to New Zealand. Development of tho Battleship. The ships of the new Lord Nelson class are to have as main armament four 12-inch guns, and as sub-main armament ten 9.2 guns, says The London Morning Post. The King Ed- ward, launched last year, has four 12-inch guns as main armament, and as sub-main armament four 9. 2 and ten 6-inch. The ten 6-inch guns, then, of last year '8 great ship have been replaced by six 9. 2 in the last development. Thus the Lord Nelson has no 6-inch guns. At first sight, this would seem to ’be a clear gain to . the Lord Nelson. Indeed, an enthusi- astic contemporary describes the Lord Nelson as “the battleship ot the future, the most brilliant crea- tion that has ever emanated from the brain of Mr. Watts. " That part of the statement concerning Mr. Watts' brain is, perhaps indisputable; ' but as regards the battleship of the future the proposition is not so evi- dent. In the first place, it seems to have escaped notice that the 6-inch Brnhmnnlo Iii-dun Ar. Seven in To: a! the Population. * Some interesting knowledge con- cerning religions in India is present- ed by the census. The number. of Brahmanic Hindus in 1901 was 207,- 050,557, or 7 in 10 of the popula- tion, This great sect, broadly Speak- ing, has declined 19 in 1, 000 since 1891, but chiefly because of famine and marriage customs. The Mohem4 medans, in the same decennial per- iod, managed to increase 9 per cent.,_ their total number now being 62,- 458,077. Assertions often made that Mohammedanism is gaining ground in India thus appear to be well founded, and it is evident that, at the present rate of increase, that re- ligion may some time dominate the country. While Buddhism increased 33 per cent... it is confined almost ex- clusively to Burma; and there most of the 9,000,000 nominal adherents of the Duddhistic cult are really bound to an ancient demon worship. As for Christianity in India, the cen- sus of 1901 returns 2,923,241 pro- fessors of the Christian faith an in- crease of 31 per cent. since 1891. This growth seems decidedly encour- aging, but it must be said that, ac- cording to the official view, the re- ,turns of Christians were swelled by the inclusion of the famine waits, who were cast upon Christian char- ity in large numbers by the terrible famines of the past decade. It in also stated that in Madras and Beugal the more degraded classes tend to become converts to Chris- tianity for social reasons. gun, abolished in the Lord Nelson, is the largest gun whose ammunition it is possible to “man-handle." That is to say, the projectile, weighing 100 pounds, can be lifted by hand. The 9.2 requires mechanical loading gear, giving an additional risk of break- down. Is it worth while to sacrifice a certain number of hand-worked guns to gain a lesser number of heavier metal? Again, partly in order to sup- port this enormous armament, and partly to gain an increased thick- ness of armor, the displacement of the Lord Nelson is 16,500 tons, as against 16,350 of the King Edward. Her speed is half a knot lessâ€"18 as against 185â€"- than that of the King Edward, and her cost is some £43,:- 000 more, the King Edward costing £1,457 ,582, the Lord Nelson 9. little under £1,500,000.

But, we may bear in mind that. size, as such, is quite worthless, and exceedingly ex- pensive; that speed is quite as im- portant a factor, if not more im- portant, than a tremendous weight of artillery; and that the more you put into one ship the more your risk the losing at one time. as against ten Lord Nelsonsâ€"a gain of five battleships.
