The rainy season begins about the first

during this time the rains are no heavier

these dates are as warm and balmy as the

have no dangerous winds, no billiards..
no sudden changes from heatt cold, ana
heavy thunder is unknown.
There are no hot days in summer, the

WESTERN AUSTRALIA TIMBER

From the amount of timber annually
shipped from the Pacific coast ports to
Australia one might readily conclude that
it was country destitute Of timber, but
such is not the case. Some saw mills are
there operated that cut immense quaint
ties OF the native woods. Considerable
attention has lately been paid to the
species OF the eucalyptus known as the
iarrah wood. The tree that produces it
grows to height of 100 feet, though IN
some instances attaining to $50. 1t is
found in Western Australia only and in
that district forms the principal forest
trees. In a report published by Baron
Mueller on the forest resources of West
ern Australia is found the following state
ments concerning this timber:
''The wool has attained world wide
celebrity. When especially felected from
billy localities, cut while the sap is least
active, and carefully dried, it proves i'm
pervious to the borings of the chelura,
teredo and termites. 1t is extensively in
demand for jetties, piles, railway sleepers,
fence posts, and all kinds of underground
structures, and is equally important as
one of the most durable for the plankipg
and frames OF ships. 1t is also much
locally used for flooring, rafiers. spars,
and furniture. 1t is one OF the least
infammable for building structures, and
one of the best in Western Australia for
charcoal

service, remained perfectly sound, al
