aud ~iationality, and the qinions of each visitor; and at the close of the Exhibition the book was sent to the Head Oftice, in Wellington, to be kept as a statistical record. Mr. John T. Donovan, an Irish Nationalist delegate visiting the colony, e x p d his opinioh of tlie Government Life Insurance OfEce by writing in the visitom' book. " Unique as a national institution ; progress marvellous ; enterprise magnificent." At the western end of the West Coast Court, and directly opposite on the western avenue, the New Zealand Lands and Survey Department had some excellent examples of mapping and other work on view. There was a he collection of maps of New Zesland and the various districts of the colony, prepared by the stafE of the Survey Department ; besides a series of photographs, including good views of alpine scenery. The principal eshibit was a large original pictorial map of New Zealand, shown in a glass case. This map, measuring 8 ft. in length by 4 ft. 6 in. in width, was the work of Mr. W. Deverell, Chief Dmughtsman in the Department's office at Inver~~qill. It was a triumph of the draughtaman's art m a topographical picture-map. The mountain features were shown in pictorial relief, and all the nvers, lakes, glaciers, and other prominent features of the country were clearly and prominently indicated, besides railway, d, and other routes, and steamer distances along the mast. The making of the map-occupied Hr. Deverell for nearly three years, and it cost over £1,200. A large number of reduced copies of this very compieb map were distributed to visitora to the court. Another large map shown waa one of hedin City and suburbs, the first of a seriea of city msps to be kued by the Survey Department. The exhibits were arranged by &. H. McCardell, of the Department's Head Office, Wellington, and Mr. Goldsmith, the Chief Surveyor for Canterburp. In a small court near the southern side of the Wi Corridor the Government Printing and Stationery Department made a display of its printing, lithographing, processengraving, and bookbiding work. The Department, employing over four hundred and fifty hands, undertakes the whole of the printing required by the Government, and covers a great variety of important work, from postage-stamps to railway-tickets and survey maps, besides a multitude of books, including illustrated books and pamphlets of high artistic quality, as, for example, those printed for the Tourist Department. Specimens of the various important books and Government reports which brru part of the immense volume of work passing through the Printing Office were shown. Conspicuous amongst these were the six handsome red-bound volumes of John ?VhiteYs chic work " The Ancient History of the 36aori." Then there were specimens of stereo plates and electrottyping work; the lithographic work so largely required in map-printing ; exhibits illustrating the various stages of process-engraving work ; an unusually large photographic n-tive nleasaring -30 in. by 30 in. ; lantern-slides, and other specimens of high-class artLstic work. Various classes of bookbinding work were shown, demonstrating that in this as in other divisions of the Department work could be produced quite equal to that tamed out by the best private ~rinting fums in Australasia. Mr. John &hy is the Government Printer, with JLr. B. B. ,Uen as Chief Clerk THE DEFEXCE COURT. The methods adopted for the defence of the country were well illustrated in the Government Defence Court, which occupied a position off the Main Avenue near the general machinery exhibit. The Court was erected bp the members of the.Permanent Force in Lyttelton, under the direction of Captain W. P. Wail, the local officer com-
manding the R.K.Z.A. A.ll classes of ordnance and small-arms in use in Kevi Zealand were shown, together with am~~lanition manufactured in the colony, and submarine-mine fields. The exhibit that first caught the eye on entering the court was the great 6-in. breech-loading gun, ga~~ison mounting, such as is used in the forts at the chief ports of the colony. Tith th gun it is possible to throw six 100 lb. lyddite shells per minute a distance of 10,000 yards with a 20 lb. dharge of cordite, or an 11+ lb. charge of modified cordite. This ,great projectile leaves the muzzle of the gun with a velocity of half a mile per second, and its penetrative power at 100 yards is through 15 in. of wrought iron. The ,a was fitted with automatic and rocking-bar sights. !Che ,pn with its pedestal weighed 16 tons. Several other pieces of artillev were shown. One was a particularly useful and beautiful weapon, a 12-pounder quick-firing gun on a pedestal mounting. This ,pn can fire fifteen I2 lb. shells per minute ; its range is 8,800 yards ; it is fitted with electric firing-,par and nith similar sights to the bii 6-in. ,p.m. The special work of the 18-pounder in case of n-ar would be the repelling of torpedo craft. Another ,pn was a 6-pounder h'ordenfeldt, Mark VII, mounted on a garrison central pivot mount:%. This gun was fitted with an aiming-die, and at its mde was affixed a " dotter," somewhat similar to those used in England, but of local manufacture and design. The artilleq "dotter" was invented by Captain (now Adn~iral) Pm;r Scott, of H.M.S. " Pow-erful," who assisted in the defence of Ladysmith at the Boer War, and its use is considered to have been mainlr responsible for the p at improvement in ,pmery practice in the British navy, for it ,patly simpMes and assists the aiming of the gna Other guns on exhibition were an infantry Maxim, dth carriage ready for field-work; a 15-pounder breech-!oading field-gun, such as is used by New Zealand's Field Artillery Volunteers ; a %pounder Hotchbs, marli I, mounted on an elevated stand, and capable of firing fifteen shells per minute ; a parapet Maxim ; and a field Msxim on a Dnndonald galloping-carriage, a most useful weapon in rough countq, and one that would probably
