FIRST AUSTRALIAN DIGGER,
Experience iE California Put to Good
Account.

& uStrGIdSjdn.
The first Aus ralian digger was Edward
Hargreaves. George Sutherland, who has
written a useful article on the beginning
Of the gold fields, started with HargreaYes,
who, having been reduced 10 sell his sheep
as tallow, il Australia, migrated to the
newly discovered gold regions of Caiifor-
MIA. He did not do well there, buthe OBJ
served the similarity of the auriierous
soil in California to spots he bad noticed
in New South Wales. Like the boy in the
fable who left his mountain home for the
pretty blue mountains, only 70 find that
those he had left were equally blue, Har-
greaves returned and literally in the Blue
Mountains found gold. The Hon. Mr..
Mcintyre, of the Victorian Legislature,
has. told me some particulars Of Har-
gTeaves. Capt. DaVlin met Eim in Cali
fOrnia, and, although regarding his hopes
of discovering gold in Australia as delu-
siye, assisted him to return to Sydney.
They Travelled together, and on the day
after their arrival the Captain saw Har-
greaves mounted on an old horse, to OBJ
tain which he had borrowed some money
ut over 100 per cent. As he travelled to
the Blue Mountains he told everybody he
encountered of his faith and hope, but all
laughed at him save one, Mrs. Lister,
landlady of an inn where he stopped, who
sent her son to be his guide. Sure enough
the gold was found, and HargTeaves broke
into a laugh, saying TO young Lister
This Is a memorable day IN the history of
New South Wales. For this days work
shall be created a BarOnet, you will be
knighted, and my old horse will be stuffed
with straw and sent to the British Muse
uni" But he is plain Edward Har-
greaves yet, and Victoria has not yet paid
up all its part of the money voted him by
the colonies. However, he was rewarded
about $4,000, which, as Mr.. Sutherland
remarks, is in notable contrast with the
poverty and neglect in which died another
HargreaVes, inventor Of the spinning
jenny, which has coined $500, 000,0 900 ster-
ling.
The Colonial Secretary of the time dis
believed the discovery, because the regu-
lar biologists had not made it, and his
disbelief was succeeded by dislike of it.
'YOu must remember" he said to Har-
greaves, ''that as soon as Australia be-
comes known as a gOld-pr0ducing cOun-
try, 1t is utterly spoiled as receptacle of
cOnYictS." This Secretary, who disCOur-
aged the gold discovery, Deas Thompson,
was afterward made a ''Sir,' but not the
discOeyeOr-whO, by the way, spent only
a year or two in the search for gold, and
is now hale and happy old gentleman Of
Sydney.
The discOyerer of gold in Victoria was
James EsmOnd, who also got his training
in California, where his experience was
much the same as that of Hargreaves.
He returned to Australia with a new eve
in his head for rocks and eaTths, and his
discovery was near Ballarat. The name
OF. the spot was, l believe, Poverty Flat,
and the name proved OminOus. After
getting together a considerable fortune,
poor EsmOnd lost it all in trying to make
it bigger.

1t has often been said that nothing save
business success and money constitutes a
claim to social recognition on this coast:
but, as even with such Illustrations of
that fact as the Sharon trial before them,
our Eastern friends can hardly how alb
solute said rule is there, we can hardly
expect the following perfectly true incl
dent to be believed 1T Of our own State !:
One night not long ago the daughter of
one of our best citizens was awakened
by noise in her room, and, upon sitting
up, discovered man disguised in a black
mask standing beside her bed and calmly
contemplating her features by the aid of
bulPs-eye lantern.
Don't be alarmed, MISS" he said; 81
| haven't taken anything yet"
"Bless mel" said the girl; 81 do believe
It's a burglar"
''Of course it is said the housebreaker,
with an ungratifying smile, as he lit a
cigarette. 'And | am proud of it,"
"What do you wantY demanded the
young lady.
"Wen, did want to sample your Jew
elry case,' SAID the robber, s'but you
looked so ALFRED pretty lying there with
your aburn hair-just my style-that |
couldn't help waking you to see if you
also had dark eyes. Pm terribly fond of

"Well, have" said the young lady,
glancing at the mirror. "But must look
like fright in this-this DRESS"
son the contrary, white is very becom-

Hope, tenderly. "By the way, are you
engaged?''
That's tellin'," said the girl.
''NO, but are you-hOnest Injun?"
'Well, yes, / am-to young lawyer;

And, shouldering his kit, the Secretary
stepped out of the window and went off
to open jewelry store for an engagement
ring.
And the next day the young lawyer re-
celyed back his letters and photograph.
Our girls know on which side their

OnakinC Italy.

1t would seem that the soil of Italy is in
incessant movement, there being periods
Of excessive activity usually lasting
about ten days. Such a period may be
called a seismic storm. These storms are
separated by periods of relative calms.
The storms have their greater regularity
in winter, and sharp maKimums are to be
observed in spring and autumn. In the
midst of such a period, or at its end, there
Is usually an earthquake. Usually these
storms are closely related to barometric
depressiOns. To distinguish these move
ments from those which occur under high
pressure they are called baro-seismic
movements, the latter being called vol
canO-seIsmic movements. The relation of
these storms 10 barOmetric fluctua1ion has
been observed to be very marked during
the time OF a volcanic eruption. AT the
commencement Of storm the motions are
usually small, and one storm lasting two
or three days may be joined by another
storm. In such case the action NAV be
a local one. 1t has been observed that
barOmetrical depression tended to bring a
storm to a maximum, while an increase
of pressure would cause it to disappear.
Sometimes these actions arc purely local,
but at other times they may affect q con-
siderable tract Of land.

BICYCLES VS.. HORSES.
Good Time Made by a Rider of Nus
tangs.
81 Francisco ~

The race between bicycles and horses,
which concluded last Saturday, resulted
in performance far ahead of all the
records. Anderson lost the race by "a
mile and half, but his was really a won
derful feat. For a man to ride a round
dozen Of common scrub mustangs, worth
less than $500 the whole batch, 1.O71 Al
miles in y hours riding time, out of
which had to be taken meals and neces-
sary rest, is something hitherto unheard
OF. IL is just about an average of 10
miles an hour for the y hours, but when
the rests, mounting time, and accidents
are deducted, the pace is shown to be
within small fraction of II miles an
hour. Prince, the bicyclist, took no rests
except once for a fall, he being relieved
by ArmaindO. His score for the So hours
was $40 As. The best previous record
for 30 hours, II hours per day, being
1856 I'll miles. His average pace was
ID lilo miles per hour. Armaindo's score
was 523 As miles for the Sc hours she rode,
or l4.6 miles per hour. Princes best hour
was 1917 miles, and AndersOn's fastest
mile 2:26. The scores each day are fur
nlshed below for reference. 1t will be re-
membeTed that on the first day they only
rode hours, and made the time up during
the week. Anderson had had no exercise
for four months.

a NIother,s Dream save ner anna

N0TlclcN ICoN0.I bU7IeIIN, Nag 3.
About ! O'Clock Friday morning DR.. G..
f. Stark was called to attend girl who
had had tooth extracted the previous
day, and who was suffering from an ex-
cessiye hemOrrhage as consequence.
The mother said that Thursday night she
dreamed that she was holding her daugh-
ter in her lap and that the child was
dying. She aWOke, went to the child's
bed, and found her daugh liter in critical
condition. The doctor was summoned
and found the child almost pulseIess. Her
garments and coverings were soaked with
blood, and he found it necessary to inject
milk into her veins to stimulate the circu-
latiOn. The doctor is of the opinion that
if the child's condition had been dis
covered an hour later she would have been
beyond help. The warning dream of the
mother proved most opportune.
