Holder for Electric Lamps.
Magnetism has been applied (n an in-
genious way to the automatic holding
pf electric lamps In any desired posi-
tion, The holder of the lamp, which is
thoroughly magnetized, will adhere to
any plece of iron or steel at any angle,
80 that by its use iron workers can se-
cure light at any part of their work
without the inconvenience attendant
on the use of a torch. As the light can
be made to shine exactly where it is
wanted, the magnetic holder is of the
greatest service when the workman
is employing the lathe, planer, drill and
other tools. Its use in boiler shops is
doing away with torches, ag it can be
carried inside the boller., For many
classes of work, especially the making
of locomotives, it is highly recommend-
ed, not the least of its advantages be-
ing that it frequently enables an as-
sistant to be dispensed with.

time, little has been known of its
life history, as it is very rare and shy
and retiring in its habits, The tua-
tara lizard was grst mentioned in a
diary kept by Mr. Anderson, the com-
panion of Capt, Cook, but the first
really detalled account of the reptile
was given by Dieffenbach in 1843,
when he sald: “I had been apprised
of the existence of a large lizard,
which the natives call tuatara, or na-
rara, and of which they are much
afraid.” Owing to the rarity of the
tuatara lizard the New Zealand gov-
ernment passed an act to prohibit the
taking or slaying of the reptile, but, as
usual, forgot one of the most important
namely, the insertion of a clause for-
bidding the collection of eggs. For-
tunately for the tuatara, however, P.
Henaghan the principal keeper on
Stephens’ island appears at present to
be the only man who knows where to
look for them although it is stated
that two German collectors have been
lately making vigorous but vain ef-
forts to obtain specimens of the eggs.
Professor Dendy had permission
granted him by the government te
collect both eggs and adults and with

phen’s island the eggs of the lizard

ICE IN WATERING TROUGHS.
Wherever stock is watered from
troughs in cold weather, there should
be a plug fixed at the lower end of the
trough, so that with its removal all
the water can be drawn
night. It is far better,
the ice will remain frozen all winter,
formed over night at the watering
places,
a deep pond is kept warmer by the
surface under the ice several degrees
below freezing. If the watering trough
is allowed to fill with ice, it will keep

the ice may not freeze at all has water
much colder than it is under the ice
in a pond.
