ROWLEY SCHOOL BOARD.

Mr. G. Green Presided at the monthly meeting of
this Board on Monday afternoon, and there were
also present Messrs. Hadley, Cave, Strawson, and
Pewtress.

Mr. Hadley, in accordance with notice, moved
"That when three children or more of one family
attend a Bard scheol or schools in the Rowley
Regis School Board district the fee to be paid for
oach child shall not exceed 2d per week.' Be
argued that this would be the rn anti of ensuring
the number of cases for the rerumision of fees, and
would confer a great benefit on parents with large
families. It would put many a loaf- into a poor
mother's way, and then probably children would
not have to go to school with an empty stomach, as
was the case at the present time.
Mr. Cave seconded this, and mentioned the fact
ttat some of the voluntary schools in the Board's
district Lad adopted the system,
After a desultory discussion it was decided to
defer the matter until the next meeting.
Mr. Kibbler, the school attenclan e favr, re-
ported that the number on the books at the various
schools was 4,600, with an average attendance of
3,646.0, which showed an increase of 767 on the
books, and 568 in average att, nuance, as compared
with last year. Accordi,ig to the instructions given
last Board meeting he-had, in conjunction with Mr.
Chapman, visited the whole of the houses in the
parish, and found that there were 916 children
under five years of age, and 101 over five years of
age not attending any school. The parents of those
over age had teen warned as ta the consequences
of their neglect, and most of the parents of the
children under age had promised to send them to
school as soon as possible. The ofti,oq r also reported
an inefficient school at Blackheath, which was being
carried on by a, Mrs. Lakin, and which had been
ordered to be closed by the Board. It was decided
to write to Mrs. Lain, stating that if she did not
close the school at once the parents of the children
atteoding there would be summoned for sending
them.

THE PACIFIC FORESTS.

It appears from the American Census Report thal
the forests of the Pacific region owe their density alu
position to the character of the rainfall, which uPon'e
northern coast is unequalled by that of any other
part of the continent. This rainfall diminishes witb
the latitude, until in Southern California the temPe.
rature of the land so far exceeds that of the ocean
that precipitation is impossible through the gren_Let
part of the year. The coast range and the SieLrri.
catch most of the rain, and are well wooded, W°.:l
the valleys are treeless. On this coast the genel'-
distribution and destiny of forests follow the distri
bution and amount of the rainfall,
forests of the Pacific region are, first, the
Northern Forest, extending from the 70th t°
the 1,58 th degree of latitude. The principal tree:
of this division are the white spruce, and the
important species of the NOrth Atlantic region, t,Lice,
canoe birch and the balsam fir, are replaced by alhe
forms of the same genera. The Coast Forest, the
heaviest but not the most varied, of the continent,
extends in a narrow strip along the coast from the
60th to the 50th parallel, where it widens and extends
eastward, and then follows the summits of the SicrP
Nevada almost to the Mexican boundary. This forest
is composed of a few coniferous species. The absence
of broad-leaved trees on the Pacific coast is striking.
The most valuable woods of the Coast Forest are tbe
Alaska cedar, the tideland spruce, the hemlock of tb.e
north, and the red fir. The Coast Forest of Californi°,
is divided into three sections—the forest of the coasu
range, that of the western slope of the Sierra, and the
open forest of the valleys. The important feature
of the Coast Forest range is the red wood belt, whose
heaviest growth is found north of the Bay of St/
Francisco. No other forest of similar extent We': ,
in amount of material the groups of red wood al°ll6
the California coast. The forest of the western. sloPe,
of the Sierra is surpassed in density only by the 11
wood belt. Its characteristic species is the_,,,,,,grer°,
sugar pine, and is situated between 4000 ft. and Souul"
elevation. It extends from the base of Mount Sheet:
to the 35th parallel, ceasing near the boundarY
Mexico. The forest of the valleys is composed el
scattered oaks. East of the Sierra and reaching ta
the Rocky Mountains is the Interior Forest, wh°lle
trees are the least valuable of all.

VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADES.

A number of special excursion trains carried up
some hundreds of the members of the Midlands
Fire Brigades Association to the metropolis on
Monday to witness the methods by which the London
men under Captain Shlw, C. 8., carry out their work.
The men were all in uniform, and the brigades of
Birmingham, Coventry, Hereford, Kenilworth, Lea-
mington, Northampton, Oxford, Nuneaton, Stafford,
Stratford-on-Avon, Tamworth, Warwick, Welling-
borough, Woodstock, and many other midland towns
weere represented. The men marched in military
order fi om the railway stations, after a
general assembly, under the command of
Captain Henry Turney, president of the as-
sociation, and on arriving at the head-quarters
in the Southwark-bridge-road Mr. Simonds, the
second officer of the brigade, in the absence of Captain
Shaw, received the men, and first conducted them
over the extensive range of buildings in which the
No. 1 station is comprised. In the instrument room,
the firemen were shown the great improvement which
the use of the telephone has caused in the system of
receiving and transmitting calls to Ares, as well as
ordinary messages. The system of the fire alarm
circuits, which within the last 13 months has proved
so invaluable to the brigade, was also explained 'o the
visitors, and then the stables, the quarters u the
single and married men, and the workshop. where
all the necessary repairs to engines, hose, alid other
apparatus of the brigade are carried out by
members of the brigade themselves, were inspected.
The methods of working the telescopic and
the American ladders were shown in the
quadrangle behind the station, and then the
whole body of visitors assembled in the station-
room and watched a "turn out" of the steamer
and the manual for an imaginary " call "
to a fire. This drill was performed in several seconds
under the minute, and as the engines ran into South-
wark-bridge-road, and afterwards when they returned,
the London men were greeted with hearty cheers.
Mr. Simonds afterwards agdressed the visitors, and
expressed his pleasure at having been able to interest
them by showing the method by which fire extinction
in London was carried out. Firemen had to be dealt
with collectively, and in that light it had struck him
that it must be confusing to have so great a variety of
uniform or dress, and that it would be advisable if
the Fire Brigades Association could get their different
local associations to adopt one regular style of dress.
In conclusion, he trusted the men had learned some-
thing and had enjoyed their visit. The members of
the association afterwards dined at Anderton's Wog,
and visited the Inventions Exhibition later on.

During the last tw6 Wks Professor Thor°ld Rogers
has been engaged at Cambridge in examining the old
university records for information concerning prices.
His investigation has extended over several genera.
tions.

COUNTY COU R 11.

A BRIERLEY HILL INTERPLEADED CASE.—At the
County Court, on Wednesday, befo-e Sir Rupert
—an interpleader case was called on, in which
Messrs. Ilaskow, Whit'vell, and Hand, brewers.
Stourbridge, were plaintiffs ; and Mr. J. W. Parkes,
solicitor,
,Wolverhampton and Brierley Hill, fail
Mr. W. R. Skelding, auctioneer, defendants; Mr.
S. Insult, auctioneer, Brierley Hill, a third defend-
ant in the suit. Mr. Herbert (instructed by Messrs.
Wall and Hinds) appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr.
Eoldam (instructed by Mr. Parkes) for the two
first defendarns, and Mr. Waldron for Mr. Insult.
—Mr. lie.b.xt said the plaintiffsiclaimed £25 from
tha defendants Mr. Parkes and Mr. Sicalith;g, Mr.
Instill being brought into the ease as a third defend-
ant by a notice given by one of the other defend-
ants The claim was for taking and converting
certit'n goods of the plaintiffs', viz., a pianoforte, an
eight-day clock, and a timepiece. A man named
Baker, who k.ad kept the Travellers' Rest Inn,
Brierley Hill, sold his interest in that house to the
pla'ntiffs for £l3B is 41, and afterwards sold the
piano to them as well. The clock and timepiece
were included in the purchase. Subsequently Mr,
Skelding entered the house on behalf of Mr. Parkes,
and claimed Barker's goods under a bill of sale.
That was the first that plaintiffs had heard of any
claim, and they gave defendants notice of Barker's
assignment to them, and of the separate purchase
of the piano. Mr. Herbert said that, notwith—
standing this and a solicitor's lettea, defendants
kept posse,sion and sold the goods forming the
subject of the action,—A number of witnesses were
examined, and George Barker in his evidence stated
that he purchased the piano sOlllO years after he
gave a bill of sale to Mr. Parkes. One of the clocks
he puichased twenty four years ago, and the other
after the bill of sale to Mr. Parkes. There was a
second bill of sale by Barker in flavour of Mr, Insult,
and the latter stated that he did not include any-
thing of Mr. Barker's in has own bill of sale.—Mr.
Boddam tonten !ecl that Mr. Parkes's bill of sale
covered property acquired after Barker gave him
the bill, and it was also part of his defence that
thee was an undertaking by Mr. Install when he
lent Barker money on a second bill of sale that he
(Mr. Insud) would eee Mr. Parkes right if be would
eet trouble Barker as to the bal::nce then duo from
him.—The case ended in his Honour giving a ver-
dict for the pia.rniff for 6.:19 ags!it:St the two first
ddendatitg, and as to the thitd party (Mr. Instill)
his verdict would be for the third rerty. Lie should
order costs on the higher scale.

AUSTRALASIAN FEDERAL COUNCIL

'Colonel Stanley, Secretary of State for War, has
transmitted to the Governors of the Australasian
Colonies a despatch explaining the motives which had
induced the Government to press on the Australasian
Federal Council Bill without any amendment in
either House of Parliament beyond the omission of
the last few words of the 31st clause. "These
words (be says) were not in the draft of the bill as it
was sent out to the Colonial Gqtarnments for their
consideration in my predecessor's dispatch of Dec. 11
He caused them to be added because—if the
principle of the 31st clause were to be accepted—it
was desirable that a colony having ceased to be re-
presented in thA Federal Council should have the
power of freeing itself from the operation, within its
borders, of any legislation which, under altered cir-
cumstances, might have ceased to be applicable or
desirable. But my predecessor had—as I understand,
in compliance with the representations of the four
Colonial Governments which were most desirous to see
the council constituted—agreed to omit the words in
question; and I concurred in the opinion that an
addition made after the colonies had been formally
consulted should not, however desirable in itself, be
retained in the bill in opposition to those representa-
tions. I fully agree that if this measure had been
intended, or could operate, to effect an actual con-
federation or union of any four or more colonies, it
would have been undesirable to introduce into it any
provision facilitating, or perhaps even suggesting, the
disruption of such union. But as the colonial con-
stitutions remain unaffected, securing to each colony
that self-government which it now enjoys indepen-
dently of the other colonies, and as at any time it may
become the wish of the majority of the colonies who
have joined the council to apply to themselves
through its agency some legislation which may not
be appiicable or acceptable to one or more of their
number, it appears reasonable that there should
be left open a mode of retiring from the Council.
I am happy to say that this view ultimately
commended itself to the Governments of the four
Colonies which now desire the establishment of the
Federal Council, and that in order to remove the
objections of the Government of New South Wales
they consented to the retention of the clause. It
must be probable that the consideration of the rela-
tions of this country and the Colonies with the islands
of the Pacific will be among the first subjects to which
the Council, when constituted, will address itself. Her
Majesty's Government will, of course, give their best
attention to the separate recommendations of New
Zealand or New South Wales on such a subject; but
it is obvious, as my predecessor insisted with much
force, that if the Colonies, not having consulted and
acted together, do not unite in their recommenda
tions, the power of her Majesty's Government to ad.
vance British interests must be greatly diminished:.

INGENIOUS SMUGGLING.

Louis Meyer, 22, storekeeper, employed on the
steamer Pelican, lying in the Royal Albert Docks,
was charged, at the West Ram Police-court on
Tuesday, with concealing on that vessel 21b. 12oz. of
cigars, and 51b. of tobacco, single value and duty
.E 3 16s. 10d., with intent to defraud her Majesty's
Customs. Prisoner is the engine-room storekeeper of
the steamer Pelican, plying between Calcutta and
London. On arriving in the docks on Saturday the
vessel was duly rummaged, and on Monday Bodlen, a
Customs officer, again searched the ship. Tapping the
frame work of the engine, a hollow sound was dis-
covered, but nothing could be seen to denote that there
was an opening, the paint being all alike; but the engine
was carefully examined, and on the officer scraping
the framework they came across some putty. Getting
this all out they saw that an iron plate was put in the
side of the framework by a spring. On taking this
out a box of cigars was revealed. A further search
was then made, and under the engine-room plates, in
the bilge, and under water, was found a hermetically-
sealed tin in which was 51b. of tobacco. Inquiries as
to the ownership were then made, and the prisoner
acknowledged it as his. Prisoner now pleaded
guilty, and made no defence. Mr. Bishop-Culpeper
said he could see no extenuating circumstances in the
case, which was a remarkably bad one. The prisoner
seemed to have taken a great deal of care to prevent
evidence of the cavity, and probably he had been
habitually doine this kind of thing. lie must pay the
full penalty, .tll 10s. 6d., or go to gaol for two
months. The money was paid.

on Sunday morning, they pulled to Yentnor, doing
the distance of 18 miles in 3h. 41min. They then
waited until eleven p.m., in order to take advantage
of the westerly tide down to the Needles. They were
impeded by a heavy mist, but succeeded in passing
the rocks at daybreak. The island coast was so
shrouded in mist that they had to pull across the
Solent to the Hampshire coast, where the atmosphere
was clear, and after a six hours' pull against tide
Southsea was reached at two o'cloak on Monday
morning. The distance of 80 miles was rowed in 19
hours, allowing for the time.spent at Yentnor.
