The Sydney Empire appeals for aid to the science of England to meet an invasion of sand. "Sydney is subject to a serious annoyance in the drifting of a quantity of loose sand on its Southern boundary. The Southerly winds, which have great force here, carry this shifting mass of sand on towards the city, and it has already overlaid some cottages in the suburbs. We shall be very glad if our English friends can suggest any plans by which this invader can be stayed in his onward course. The same difficulty may have been en- countered at home, but as yet we have not been able to discover a remedy. The plan most in favour is to plant the sand with some tenacious grasses.'

Our readers will recollect that some four years ago it was reported that Mr. Benjamin Boyd, a Sydney colonist, had been murdered by the savages of Guadalcanar, one of the Solomon group of islands.
