This Company has boon formed for the purpose of acquiring the Leasehold Property known as the Cardiff Machinery Company, East Moors, Cardiff, Plant and Stock, tfce., together with the Goodwill of the Wholesale Machinery and Iron Trade of Messrs Thomas Jones and Co., Wharf-street, Cardiff, and Messrs Andrews and Baby, East Moors, Cardiff, and working and further extending the Machinery and Iron business. The Premises are situated on the East Moors of the important and rapidly-increasing town of Cardiff, and occupy a convenient and commanding position (near the Dowlais Steel Works) for business. They are con- nected with the Railway System by a. Siding having three branches running the whole length of the Premises two of these branches run direct into the commodious -Machine Repairing Shop, affording excellent facilities for the economical and prompt delivery and distribution of the goods of the Compa.ny from and to all parts of the Country. An Agreement can be entered into bv which the Company may have the option of securing further land for extending the Premises if necessary. The entire Premises, Machinery, Plant, Stock, and Railway Sidings, which are in good order and working condition, have been valued by independent Valuers, together witn the Lease and Goodwill, at £ 4,05210s 2d. A copy ot the Inventory and Valuation can be seen at the Office of the Secretary. The books of the Vendors sliow a good profit for many years on the amount of Ca.pital employed bv them in the Machinery and Iron Departments of their respec- tive businesses. The Directors have every reason to anticipate a con- tinuity and increasing good results by this Company, and consider that they are offering a business invest- ment of a secure and profitable character to those who have Capital unemploved, or who are receiving the ruling low rates ou deposits. Similar businesses established at Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, and Newport have been eminently successful, anil have returned Large profits. The old-established, extensive, and profitable busi- nesses (one of which has been earned on for over forty years, and has paid for many years a large profit on the Capital invested) of wholesale dealers in Scrap Iron acquired from the Vendors will be extended by import- ing Pig Iron and exporting Old Rails and Scrap Iron. There is a good local demand for Scotch and Middles- boro' Pig Iron, and a large foreign demand for Old Rails and Scrap Iron. This portion of the business, the Vendors believe, will continue to give good returns. An extensive and well-stocked Machinery Depot capable of supplying the requirements of Collieries, Contractors, and the various Works of the district, has been a long-felt want; the Company will supply this by keeping in stock, for sale or hire, new and second- hand Locomotives, Portable and Stationary Engines, Boilers, Pumps, Mortar Mills, &c. The Company will also be prepared to purchase the Plant and Machinery of closed Collieries, Iron Works, l actones, &c. To buy, sell, or exchange any kind of Machinery for use or breaking up. This class of busi- n" "s, with sufficient Capital and judicious manage- ment, is very profitable, and yields large returns. The purchase of the Premises, Goodwill, and Stock will only absorb a small portion of the Capital of the Company, leaving ample means for carrying on and extending the business. The Company will be able to avail itself of the oppor- tunity afforded by the present low rate of the Iron Market to buy and stock for the future rise, and the depression in manufacturing to purchase Stock and Machinery, also Plant or Works in liquidation or bank- ruptcy.' The Vendors have agreed to sell the Lease and Pre- mises on the East Moors, and the Goodwill of the Machinery and Wholesale Iron Trade of Messrs Thomas Jones and Co., Wharf-street, Cardiff, and Messrs Andrews and Baby, East Moors, Cardiff, for the sum of £ 2,900 in fully paid up shares. The company, having acquired the above premises, will have in it.3 possession the only large depot in the borough of Cardiff for the sale, hire, storage, and repairing of second-hand machinery. The business will be taken over as a going concern from the lltli April, 1891, on which day the^company will take over the stock then 011 the premises at the market valuation made by an independent person agreed upon by the Company and the Vendors. Messrs Henry Jones (of Thomas Jones and Co.) and Thomas Andrews (of Andrews and Baby) undertake the position of managing directors 011 the terms mentioned in the articles of association. The only Contract entered into concerning the pur- chasa or otherwise is one dated 11th April, 1891, and made between Mr Henry Jones (on behalf of Thomas Jones and Co.) and Mr Thomas Andrews (on behalf of Andrews and Baby) of the one part, and Mr Thomas Williams on behalf of the Companv of the other part. Applications for Shares should be made on the form accompanying the prospectus, and sent with a deposit of £ 1 p r share to the Company's Bankers or to the Secretary. Where the number of shares allotted is less than the number applied for, the surplus will be credited in reduction of the further amount payable on the shares allotted. Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Associa- tion of the Company, and of the above-mentioned Contract, can be inspected at the Offices of the Company. Prospectuses and Forms of Application can be ob- tained at the Offices of the Company, and from the Bankers, Solicitor, and Secretary. 2050 _.P.2 JpURNITURE JpURNITURE PJpRAPNELL AND Q A N E 38,41, AND 45, QUEEN-STREET, CARDIFF.

THE COLLIERS AND THE SURPLUS.…
THE COLLIERS AND THE SURPLUS. THE delegates of the Rhondda Valleys steam coal miners have discovered a method of disposing of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S surplus which probably never entered into that financier's head. They are in want of a few more in- spectors of mines equipped as some of those now acting in that capacity are not. These new officials must, of course, be selected from the ranks. They must be working men, having had practical experience, and not mere book lore. Every- one is now finding out the real value of book knowledge, and the limits beyond which it cannot go. Book knowledge enables one to take part in a discussion, but it affects the tongue much more than the hand. It would, no doubt, be of great value to a well educated inspector to be constantly accompanied in his daily duties by a thorough reliable practical collier. One of the chief faults of our Government depart- ments is that they lay rather too much stress on University or College training, forgetful of the intimate practical knowledge which can only be acquired by the employment of the hands in actual labour. Far be it from us to underrate the value of a thorough scientific training, but a man who has worked for ysars underground, earning hia living, must have become familiar with much which the casual observer, how- ever well instructed, will fail to notice. We do not think our mining population will ever be satisfied until their wish to have some retired skilled colliers employed in assisting the class now engaged in looking after them, and in seeing that they are getting justice and fair play, and are being humanely treated. But the delegates of the Rhondda collieries are not to be put off with inspectors whose only claim to promo- tion is that they have earned their bread under ground for many years. They look for qualifications which pre-suppose a good deal of scientific observation, especially a knowledge of geology, and of various condi- tions of the strata of the districts to which they are appointed. For colliers to ask all this on the part of an inspector is a sign of the times. It clearly proves that we are rapidly entering upon a new era. Men who earn their bread by toiling in earth's dark passages, in the faint flickering of a tiny candle, are no longer mere toilers, not able to see anything above or beyond. Everyone must be pleased to witness this splendid fruit of an education which will gradually develop until mere poverty shall no longer be mentioned as a barrier between cultured wealth and educated labour. HUGH MILLER, the quarryman, became a distinguished geologist. Science owes not a little to shrewd, sharp, observing working men. Many of our colliers might gain a large acquaintance with geology by studying the science above-ground as well as underneath, and they might thus fit themselves for inspector- ships of the class which they are so anxious to have. The linguistic accomplishment is, we imagine, not rare in the Rhondda even now. Welsh and English very commonly go hand in hand. That Mr GOSCHEX will be persuaded to devote a portion of his so-called surplus to the making of such appoint- ments is another matter. Even the prospect of a stave from MABON would possibly not move him from his present purpose. A small sop may buy up the clergy, but even so great a concession as that which the delegates think he ought to make would not secure for him and his party many grateful votes at the next general election.
-------MR OSBORNE MORGAN'S…
MR OSBORNE MORGAN'S NATIONAL COUNCIL. MB OSBORNE MORGAN'S letter which ap- pears in another column looks very like acquiesence in everything belonging to Home Rule but the name. He objects to Home Rule for Wales but would like to see a National Council armed with all the power which most Home Rulers would be quite content to have. The name is very possibly misleading. It evidently conveys to the minds of some a system of government quite independent of Parlia- mentary authority and the supremacy of the Throne, in which case the name may as well be dropped as mischievous. The tiger is a species of cat, but those who might think it quite proper to use the word" tiger II when they only mean to draw attention to a cat would act very foolishly, and would probably create much alarm, The Unionists often call Irish Home Rulers Separatists," but they do so to give annoyance and to stir up opposition, but, after all, there is possibly no Home Ruler among the Welsh or the English who so much as wishes to separate himself or his interests from the mother country. Any Home Rule wanted for Wales may be defined in such terms as would secure even Mr OSBORNE MORGAN'S adhesion to the cause.

WHEN some dastardly outrage, or possibly t, a cold-blooded murder, is committed in a railway carriage, the country begins to bestir itself in safeguarding the interests of the travelling public. It was, we believe, owing to the outcry raised as the result of such an outrage some years ago that com- munication with the guard" was intro- duced into our railway system. For a time the public regarded the communication cords" with some such satisfaction as a child does a new toy, and care was taken by the officials to keep the toy in excellent work- ing order. But as public interest languished, official alertness became less pronounced, and it is questionable whether at the present moment the communication cordq" would be found to be in effective working order on anything like fifty per cent. of our trains. This fact is brought home to us by the experience of a number of ladies who had the misfortune to be fellow-travellers of ROEERT DOOLEY. DOOLEY was tipsy, but that did not make him the less dangerous. To have a drunken sailor brandishing a knife in a railway carriage and threatening to cut the throats of the passengers might well alarm men not generally sub- ject to timidity. In this case, unfortu- nately for them, the only male passenger was DOOLEY himself, the others all being ladies. The "communication cord," which in theory works splendidly, failed utterly when put to the test, for, though tugged at for twenty minutes, it elicited no response, and driver, guard, and passengers all went merrily 011 their journey, long enough to have enabled DOOLEY to kill all in the com- partment. The guard admitted it was his duty to test the cords, but did not on this occasion.' It, unfortunately, happened that this occasion was the very one on which it should have been tested, and the ladies who had the misfortune of being DOOLEY': fellow-passen- gers had not to thank official care or railway safeguards that they were not made the victims of a most awful tragedy. At best the communication cords a ve but a sorry contriv- I A ance. Immunity from such dangers as that to which Mrs STARKEV and her fellow- passengers were subjected can only be secured by the adoption of the American style of railway carriages, which admits of free intercourse between all parts of the train.

WHEN a. minister lives to spend half a century in a pastorate, his jubilee is as a rule worthily celebrated. Why should others who have spent a lifetime in the service of the public be overlooked ? Few, perhaps, can show such a record as the late Mr W. N. LEWIS, of Cevngornoth, who lacked only three years of celebrating his jubilee year as a poor-law guardian. For 47 years the Llandovery Board of Guardians had no more faithful attendant and no more painstaking member than Mr LEWIS. In addition to this there was hardly any public movement of any note in the district with which he did not closely identify himself. During all contested elections he was ever to the front fighting the cause of Liberalism at a time when Toryism was rampant in the county. Thougli failing health had for some time compelled him to limit the circle of his public duties, he continued to the end the prominent figure in local politics which lie. had been for nearly half a century. It is perhaps too frequently the tendency of the more aggres- sive Radicals of to-day to disparage the Liberalism of a former generation. But it must not be forgotten that it is to the ser- vices of men like Mr LEWIS, Cevngorlloth, that rural Wales is indebted for being able to-day to speak with such unmistakable authority and decision when the need arises.

IT would have been well in the interests of Swansea if the Chamber of Commerce, which last week decided to petition the Postmaster-General as to the advisability of improving LIe mail service, had gone a step further and asked for the elevation of the telegraph office into what is known as a hrst-cs office. As has been more than once pointed our in these columns, there are few stalls which equal for efficiency that at Swansea, and the growing importance of the town, both a-s a populous centre, a sea- port, and a medium of distributing messages from South Wales, certainly demands the making of arrangements by which telegrams can be despatched at all hours of the night as well as of the day. It would also not be too much to expect that the office should be I opened for a longer period en Sundays, as are those of all other populous towns. At present the hours of opening an Sunday are from 7 till 10 in the morning, and from 5 to 6 at night. From this hour the office is closed, and can only be opened in case of emergency—often involving life and (leatli-a,ftcir much delay and some difficulty. The Swansea office is a means of transmission for the best part ot South Wales, and this office closed means the locking up, so far as the great towns of the kingdom are concerned, of all the offices dependent on it. This is a thing which might surely be altered without at all affect- ing the susceptibilities of the most rigid Sabbatarian, and if the Chamber of Com- merce and the Corporation were to take the matter up, there is no duubt there would be but little delay in placing Swansea on the same level as other towns of a like popula- tion.
--------SOUTH WALES NOTES.
SOUTH WALES NOTES. [BY COSMOS.] ANOTHER POET UPOX THE SPRING. MR LEWIS MORIU.S contributes to the May number of the "English Illustrated Maga- zine" a poem entitled "The Voice of Spring." He is not the first poet to turn his attention to the season, but let us hope that he will be the first poet to tell the truth about it. None of his predecessors have done it, and the poetical licence ought to have the local veto passed upon it. There was Browning for instance, who on paper had an intense yearning to be in England 11 c' now," that is in April, but though he had the price of the train fare in his pocket and nothing to keep him in Italy but inclination, he took very good care that The lowest boughs and brushwood sheaf Round the elm tree bole are in tiny leaf, might be viewed by anybody except himself. If spring has any beauty it is more like the hectic flush one sees upon the cheek of a phthisical patient than the ruddy com- plexion 01 youth. If you would compare it to the animal world, it has the fascination yet the embrace of the snake. You are allured by its gaudy colours to come into contact with its east wind. Mr Lewis Morris has a splendid opportunity of pricking the poets' bubble, and it is to be hoped in this poem that he has shaken off the fossilised delusion and given us spring as it is and was, not as it should be. INVITING INVASION. THE Welshman does not appear to be afraid of the invasion of the Saxon, provided that individual raids with money in his pocket. Continually are new watering- places being prospected upon the Welsh coast, and only on Saturday another was added in embryo. The speculative builder has seized upon an estate of 1,110 acres, of which already 260 acres have been laid out awaiting the inevitable bricks and mortar. A Lancashire company has acquired the pro- perty, which is situated at Ynyslas. A considerable portion adjoins Cardigan Bay and the estuary of the Dovey. The beach is of firm, dry sand, of which there is a stretch of about three miles. Sheltering it are the Merioneth and Cardiganshire mountains, Plinlimmon forming a fine back- ground. It is satisfactory to hear that a system of sewerage has been completed. Houses, hotels, and donkey carriages are aa yet in the future. A WELSH SEA FISHERIES DISTRICT. APPLICATION has been made to the Board ot Trade by the county council of Merioneth to create a sea fisheries district, and the de- mand has been granted. As the county councils of Carnarvon, Anglesey, and Cardigan are interested in the proposed scheme they are allowed representatives on the committee, as well as to contribute to the expenses incurred. The district lies within the following limits On the north where the boundary of the counties of Carnarvon and Denbigh reaches the sea, and on the south the northern extremity of Cemmaes Head, in the county of Pembroke. The rivers which empty into the sea are not' placed under the Board's authority. It is to be trusted now that the county councils have jurisdiction in such matters, that they will turn their attention to pisciculture. It is about time that we ceased to continue the folly of depleting our valuable fishing grounds. It is the duty of these county councils to establish hatcheries on their portion of the coast, and as the work will benefit the nation as well as the local tisher- man, the Government ought to provide some part of the funds. HARRISES AND HARRISONS. A WRITER in "Homes of Family Names in Great Britain describes the struggle for existence between these clans. He saya I that, considered together, these names are distributed over England and Wales. Each has its own area of frequency, Harrison in the north, and Harris in the south. A line drawn across England through the. cities of Lincoln and Chester will define the northern border of the area of Harris. The name is at present most numerous in Mon- mouthshire and South Wales, in the southern Midland counties of Oxford, Northampton, Warwick, and Worcester, and in the west of England, especially in Cornwall and Devon. It is less frequent in the eastern portion of its area—that is to say, from Lincolnshire scuth to Kent. Harrison is most numerous in Westmore. land, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Lincoln. shire. Farther south we find it invading in numbers the area of the Harrises and fighting for the supremacy in the Midland shires, victorious in some, as in those of Derby and Stafford, waging an equal contest in others, I as in the county of Notts, and completely outnumbered in the advance southward into the counties of Warwick and Worcester. Pushing on, however, in greatly diminished numbers, the Harrisons have established outposts on the borders of the English Channel. In this struggle between the Harrises and the Harrisons it is evident that the former have been worsted. The Harrises, in fact, have been entirely on the defence. THE UTILISATION OF WASTE MATERIAL. THE spider is to be turned to some utilitarian. use, and to be allowed no longer to waste ita time in catching flies, or pointing the moral to the Bruce story. The spider has always been the aversion of the tidy housewife, and she, armed with a broom covered with a duster, has waged unceasing warfare against this energetic weaver. But this is an age of I research, and some hunter after uncon- sidered trifles having discovered that stock- ings have been certainly made out. of spider silk has jumped at the conclusion that he has solved the problem what to do with our sons and daughters. There are five hundred species of spiders known in Great Britain, and what is to prevent them from being put to a practical purpose ? Why should they squander theit labour in corners ? Spider culture is the latest remedy for "darkest England." As it takes 663,552 of the ordinary description of spider to yield a pound of silk, a dress of the material will be something more than the five-stnd- a wenty francs a yard which "Serpolette" gave for her Parisian attire. Nevertheless flies are cheap, and spiders are not dear, and both of them, as far as is known, are not troubled with fashionable complaints. Rus- sian influenza does not trouble them, and their nerves are at rest. Of course spiders will now have a marketable value, and it behoves every economical personage to spare them during the forthcoming spring cleaning. Live flies will fetch so much a gross, and children can be employed in catching them. Altogether the new industry is promising, and appears likely to employ a large number of hands.
