Australia is quite a country. 1t is

width. The first settlement was made
there in l7S9-600 male and $50 female

divided into seven States. Of these
Victoria is the most remarkable. 1t

contain $5,0O0,O0O, and the assets of
her various building associations are
over $S,000,000. A good many of the
laws Of Victoria are modelled after those
of the United States, and her people
are sometimes styled the Yankees of

The Deepest Well i'm the World.

At about twenty miles from Berlin. is

sunk. Owing to the presence of gyp-

crate distance from the capital, it oc-
Cured to the Government authorities
in charge of the mines to obtain a sup
ply of rock salt. With this end in view
the sinking of shaft or we'll 16 feet in
diameter was commenced some FIVE
years ago, and at depth of $50 feet the
salt was reached. The boring was con-
tinued to further depth of 900 feet,
the diameter of this bore being reduced
to about Is inches. The operations
were subsequently prosecuted sby the
aid of steam until depth of 4,194 feet
was attained. At this point the boring
was discontinued, the borer or bit being
still in the salt deposit, while thus ex-
hibiting the enormous thickness of
1907 feet. The boring would have
been continued in order to discover
what description of deposit lay under
the salt, but for the mechanical diff
culties connected with the further
prosecution of the operations. During
the progress of this interesting work
repeated and careful observations were
made of the temperature at various
depths. The results confirm very
closely those which have been already
arrived at under similar circumstances.

How to Destroy Mosquitoes.

A correspondent of the Scientific
american thus explains his process for
destroying mosquitoes
"The process for destroying mos
quitoes may be condensed into few
words. The strongest crystalized car
bolic acid should be placed in bottle
and covered with the same quantity Of
red cod liver oil shake the bottle
thoroughly until whitish' colored foam
appears; if such foam does not arise,
however, a small quantity of powdered
lime should be added with little
water. Pour the mixture into dish or
other convenient article, and place it
directly under the open window, as it is
from this quarter the mosquitoes enter.
I'm my humble opinion the effect
should be explained in this manner:
The moment the mosquito enters it
loses the scent of blood; for, as the
combined odor of the oil and acid is
much more powerful than that of
blood, it follows, as a consequence, that
the mosquito becomes suddenly per-
picked. The consequence is that, after
scrambling and skirmishing in the
dark, the mosquito is led, as it were,
instinctively into the mixture, where it
is either drowned in the oil or burned
to death by the acid.
"Formerly l was accustomed to
smear my face, arms, and breast with
strong oil alone, but frequently arose
in the morning smelling SO terribly
that, though it protected me from mos
quito bites, l was happy to lay it aside.
/ have slaughtered more mosquitoes
with the article explained above than
ever could have done with my fists or
any other dangerous weapons"

Brutal Treatment OF a Sailor.

John B. Monday, a sailor, was taken
to the hospital to-day. Both legs were
fractured, one of the fractures being
compound, and there were various cuts
and bruises in different parts of the
body. Monday said he shipped in the
Hudson for voyage to London and
back. On the return, about July 26, a
spell of heavy weather came on. Mon.

mate was above him near the foretop.
gallant yard. The mate ordered him to
60 aloft and pass down the foreroyal
rigging. He started to obey, and ran
up the rigging to where the mate was.
Seeing that he could not pass the mate,
he told him he could not jump 10 the
royal yard from where he stood. The
mate shouted to him: "The captains
orders are for you to pass down the
royal yard. If you don't, I'll blow your
brains out" Monday replied: "You
can begin that as soon as you like. I'd
as soon have my brains blown out as

deck Frightened by the further
threats of the brutal mate, Monday
made a desperate leap for the yard, but

instantly killed. Monday is as comfort

How to Build Brick Chimney Tops.

r All the brickwork above the super
structure should be made with cement
mortar, which will absorb much less wa
ter than mortar made of caustic lime and
sand. The bricks for a chimney top
should be soaked in water for few
minutes, so that they will not extract
the water from the lime. In order TO
have mortar become very hard, it must
dry slowly. By laying up wet bricks,
the mortar will set slowly, dry slowly,
and eventually become almost as hard
as the bricks. Every brick chimney
