Creeping Things.

The sight of certain creatures is
enough to give us n craving sensa-
ton. Bare memory of them must be
enough to any person who has travelled
in Australia Jesse Young, the explorer,
talks very coolly, however, about the
bug and snake creation in that queer
cline. He says:
The reptiles are really beautiful;
crocodiles in the North, and snakes, liz
ards. scorpions, and centipedes i'll the
South. l shall not readily forget the
sensation l experienced when one night
II huge black centipede, eight inches
long, crawled upon my neck with his
horrible sixty-four legs, and made his
way TO my feet lesiurely, much TO my
disgust, and though he was probably
only few seconds, L thought him slow.
He il in the museum mt Adelaide, with
all the whisky he can drink.
Insects are wonderfully prolific-mos-
quitoes and flies being particularly
abundant. The native children are
sometimes hardly racogniz, BILE, so COM
pletely are they covered with flies, filling
their eyes, noses and mouth.
When eating, it requires dexterous
manmuvring to get piece of meat into
ones mouth without its complement of
flies.
Spiders are very common, as also are
ants, the tarantula being the most
formidable of the former, and the
bulldog ant the worst species Of
the hitter. These ants are an inch or
more in height. and about two inches
long. They all fight fiercely, and their
sting is not ut oil to be desired. They
catch hold of your skin with their nip
pers, bend the body under like scor-
pion, and put the sting gently in, leav-
ing the venom, and sometimes the sting
itself. When camping near nest of
them, we generally thrust fire-stick in
Che hole, which has the effect of keeping
them at home.

island upon a number Of rough little
sledges, never Trustworthy and always

across the ice to the island. The un-
dertaking will not be beset with sny
serious obstacles, and it is believed tha1
it can be successfully accomplished N
eight or nine days. As soon as the lce

engineers, gangs Of lsborers will pro.

and light trains will convey passenge"
