TIE British colonies in Austria liza
have taken steps to acquire a navy ex-
clusively for colonial purposes, intend
ing to divide the rule of the Pacific
with the United States. The ships are
to be built in England, but the money
will be raised in Australia. Inter
colonial free trade and union will fol-
low, and a country resembling the
United States, with army and navy of
its own and only allied to the mother
land of Great Britain by nominal tie,
will spring into existence. The senti-
ment of q great Australasian empire is
spreading, and the new union, which
will include, besides the continents of
Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand,
New Guinea and the FIJI Islands. will
eventually resist German aggression in
Polynesia such as was NANTES ted in
the case of the Samoa Islands.

A NEGRO who was bitten in the leg
by a +Tat0esnake in the woods near
VaIdosta, Ga, few days ago, was
treated as follows: The snake, which
chung to the limb, was killed, a tight
cord tied around the bitten leg, then
the snake was cut in pieces and the
warm flesh applied to the bite. The
negro was removed at once to the quar-
tiers, and as soon as possible several
roots of the 'prickly ash secured,
which can be found in almost any old
field. Warm water was poured over
these roots and a poultice made and
Immediately applied to the wound. The
viruIence of the poison soon colored the
poultice green, and a fresh one would
be substituted, until, in the course OF
an hour, the green failed to show any
further. In the meantime the negro
was given a large quantity of fresh,
sweet milk to drink, He soon recovered
and is now doing well.

HE largest Thomson electric weld
ing apparatus yet produced Yields a
copper bar of an inch in diameter, a
brass bar of ] inches or an iron bar of
3 inches, and a machine is being made
for welding 6-inch iron pipes. This
system of welding depends upon heat
ing by the resistance of small contacts
to large currents, and for the metallic
bars mentioned q current of 30, 1000
ampeTes, of the low pressure of one or
two volts, Is necessary. To carry such
an enormous current without heating
a solid copper bar 81 inches in diameter
Is used as the secondary conductor of
the transformer which converts an or
binary dynamo current (passing over a
small Wire) into one Of the great volume
and low tension needed. To produce
the current by primary battery would
require 10000 Geographic gravity cells
for an eIectrOmOtive force Of one volt,
and double that number for two volts
For Welding each square inch Of sec
ton of iron or steel In forty seconds,
about thirty indicated horse power is
exerted by the steam engine, during
the production of the current, though
smaller power suffices for less rapid
work. Platinum and German silver
wires as small as One-fftieth of an
inch In diameter have been united by
this system. and work under the
microscope might be done if desirable.
The smallest currents now used range
between 200 and 800 amperes.

G-=--&5 The brass pieces OF
money designated as @Sommer Island
Brass, were, IL has been conclusiYelY
proven, tho first coins manufactured in
the English provinces of North America.
The date of their issue and history of
their coinage has never been definitely
ascertained or established, although there
is reason to believe that they were in cir
cQaatiOn as money as early as the year
1916. John Smith, Governor of Virginia,
in his history relates that Sir George
SOmmer was shipWrecked upon the
Bermudas, or Sommer Island, in
1912, and that four years later,
when Daniel Tucker arrived to take
command as Governor of these islands,
there was found in circulation a certain
kind of brass money, with ~hOgge" on
one side. The islands were OVerrun with
wild animals of this breed, and its efigy
seems to have been accepted as the nat
ural and proper symbol. The SOmmer
Island brass" or Shilling" has on one
side hog, of what is now known as the
HrazCr-back" species, in the center, with
xii" above the figure, and these are sur
rounded with beaded circle; exterior
and around this is the legend, SOmmer
Island" On the reverse side is q ship of
that day, with canvas spread and flag
flying from each masthead, a beaded cir
Gle nearly surrounding the efhgy about the
edge of the piece.
The sixpence of Sommer Island is
about half the size of the shilling, and an
exact counterpart of the larger CON- with
the exception that VI, instead of XII,
surmounts the swine symbol. Only
three of the shillings and one sixpence
are known to be in existence. The shiI-
ling piece has been initiated OF course,
none of the genuine coins are in the
market; they are priceless in value.
The New England shilling, sixpence
and threepence were the first silver coins
made in America. They were thin plan
chefs of silver, having N. 3. stamped on
the to2 or near the edge of one side. and
