THE SIZE OF AUSTRALIA.
New South Wales as Large as the Orisi'
nal Thirteen Colonies.

nal Thirteen Colonies.
Scri6aey's Magazine
Among the tacit misconceptions into
which distant critics are most likely to
fall about Antipodean affairs is that
which is based upon ignorance of the
enormous area and possibilities Of the
colonies. Especially is this likely in the
United States, where the assumption
may be that, as the population of Aus
tralia is about the same as that of the
thirteen original seaboard colonies Of
America, the surface over which they
are distributed is also approximately
the same. As matter of fact there Is
no such proportion.
New South Wales alone is as large as
they were; Tasmania, the Rhode Island
OF Australia, Is as large as that State
with New Jersey, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts added; Victoria, the
smallest colony of the continent, is equal
in size to Great Britain; Queensland sur
passes the united areas of Austria.
France and Germany; South Australia,
one-third greater than Queensland, is
nearly as large as Western Australia,

extent of Texas, while the two colonies
together are larger than the whole of
Europe without Russia.
The seven colonies between them oc-
cupy territory greater than that OF
the United States, excluding Alaska.
1t is true that at present Australia has
barely 1000, 900 inhabitants, but these
immense areas represent potential
population to which 1t is impossible to
set bounds.
No part OF the continent is so hot and
so unhealthy as to forbid white settle
mens and il the strip Of low-lying coast
lands in the North be omitted, there Is
no part OF 1t yet colonized in which Eu-
ropeans cannot work.
Port Darwin, the country about the
Gulf OF Carpentaria, and Al indefinite
belt toward the northwest lie within the
tropics. and are suitable for tropical
productions, but the high plateau of
Northern Queensland, which runs close
to the sea, Is found thoroughly healthy
for English miners and graziers, and en-
joys bracing winter. The back coun-
try. though waterless by comparison
with the Mississippi Valley, Is able to
carry stock we'll In most seasons, and
with wells, tanks and dams may be made
to do so In all years.

He sheds His Skin and Gets a New Outfit
of Finger and Toe Nails Every July.
At a recent meeting of the Chicago Med
ical society DIR. J. Frank reported case
where man every July shed his skin. He
was taken with feverish tremors, increas-
ing almost to paroxysms. He undressed,
lay down, and within a few minutes the
skin of the chest began to turn red. The
redness rapidly extended over the entire
skin, and the feverish tremors continued
uninterrupted for about twelve hours.
Then he arose, dressed and walked about
in perfect health. The skin now COM
menced to peel, and ten hours later it be-
gan to come off in great patches. From the
arms and legs it could be pulled off exactly
like gloves or stockings. AS the old skin
came away new epidermis, as soft and
pink as babys, was revealed. This new
skin was very sensitive; the patient had to
wear softened gloves and moccasins for
about a week. After the old cuticle had
been entirely removed the finger and toe
nails began to drop of-new nails literally
crowding them out. Finally the change
was complete; the man had new skin and
new outfit of nails, and was ready to re-
turn to the mines. The shedding began in
his first year and recurred every July there
after The New York Medical Record is
quoted as authority for the foregoing

Seaside visitors and pamp Bsds.

The mischief wrought by damp beds un-
fortunately does not usually react upon its
needless originators. The sole sufferer is
the luckless occupant who buries himself
within the chill of half dried bedclothes.
An instance in which the injured party ap-
pealed successfully to the law for damages
is related by the English Lancet, which
says; 'The plaintiff, who had for several
days occupied a room at a seaside resort,
was told that the apartment was let and
he must accept another. Here the trouble
begah Illness with its expenses followed,
and the final cost to the too unceremonious
host was considerable. An action so unu-
sual and a verdict so consonant with sani-
tary principles deserve to be kept in re-
membrance; however, the maxim which
inculcates prevention is still the best. Not
even money fine will always atone for
the injury done by avoidable illness. Let
the traveller, however weary and inclined
to sleep, first be careful that his bed is dry.
In any case of doubt change Of bedding
should be insisted on, and the further pre-
caution of sleeping between blankets rather
than sheets is in such cases only rational"

To Determine the speed of Electricity.
Philadelphia scientists are preparing
to find out how fast an electric current
travels. An experiment. will be made,
probably from the Franklin institute, by
connections over the Atlantic cable to
Liverpool and return.
A recent test appeared to show that an
electric current is a slow coach as com
pared to light, being only able to get
over to Europe and back in something
like a second, or at the rate of only some
100000 miles minute, while light
ambles along at million miles minute
gait. The Philadelphia scientists who
are proposing to make further investiga-
tions are not satisfied to give up the rec
ord to sunlight, and hope to prove that
the electrical current, if not handi-
capped. is the swifter element.
The most recent experiment was tried
at McGill college, Montreal. The cur
rent was transmitted in Montreal, was
transferred to the cable at the New
foundland cable station by means of
Thompson's mirror galvanometer, sent
across to the station at Liverpool and re-
turned to Montreal by the same method,
The distance traversed, partly by over
head wire and partly by cable, was 5000
miles. From the time the current left
the key in Montreal until it returned 10
the receiver in the same office just one
second and one-twentieth of second
had elapsed, and the conditions were not
as good as they might have been; hence
the further experiment to be made here.
The rapidity with which the current
travels over short wires with no delay
indicated unlimited possibilities in the
direction of practical tests. Professor
Marks, Of the Edison Electric Light
company, is authority for the assertion
that if the globe was encircled with
continuous cable a current would travel
the entire distance in trifie over three
seconds. At this rate current would
travel to the sun, covering the distance
of 96,000,000 miles in three and half
minutes, or twice as fast as ght.-Phila-
delphia Record.

The Gastric .Inice.

A physician is authority for the follow
ing statements in regard to the action of
the gastric juice on microbes: ''The empty
stomach of healthy man contains innu-
merable organisms. The gastric juice, and
principally the hydrochloric acid, possesses
microbicide properties The microbes take
no active part in digestion. Persons who,
on account of some affections, secrete little
hydrochloric acid, are easily intoxicated by
means of the micro-organisms in the
stomach. Therefore the stomach should
not remain in an empty condition for any
length of time, and during an epidemic
food should be taken at frequent intervals,
and, il possible, sterilized.n

A DAY IN AN ENGLISH HOUSEHOLD.
The Ideal of Comfort Is Good Service,
H.. se 4I.. na1aIa ID Il asa Il1ou4se.1

The Ideal of Comfort Is Good Service,
Even if the Table Be Less Plentiful.
In an article on the English middle
classes Harper's Bazaar gives some very en-
tertaining details about the manners and
daily customs of an English household of
the upper" middle class, among them the
following:
An American woman wonders when she
learns how many servants are needed to
run such a household. The cook must
have her one or more kitchen maids, there
must be couple of footmen and a parlor
maid, two or three chambermaids and a
lady's maid, and in large houses this would
seem but small staff.
Visiting hours are so arranged that the
Englishwoman has her morning practical
ly to herself. She is well fortified for the
day She had her cup of tea before getting
up. Then at 9 came breakfast with her
husband and children-an informal meal,
with no servants in the room. At this she
drank another cup of tea, ate her rasher OF
bacon and toast and finished with MARINA
lade The menu is bacon and marmalade
winter and summer, spring and autumn.
Hot cakes or rolls are delicacies never seen
on an Englisl. breakfast table. After the
house is full mistress of her own time. She
can count upon no one, except perhaps an
intimate friend, calling before or 4 in the
afternoon, so that it is rarely she is inter-
rupted for formal social duties.
Luncheon is a very important function,
from which children are banished to the
nursery. 1t might be called more correctly
dinner-hot joint and vegetables, pud
ding, cheese and fruit.
Shopping hours are much the same as
with us. Between 10 and the shops are
most crowded. The most popular time of
all, however, is from 3 to 5. And then, if
luncheon must be had away from home, it
is in the genuine English restaurant-in
the Holborn or the Criterion or the ST.
James--it is eaten. Not for the British
middle class women are the pleasant little
French and Italian haunts.
At O'Clock tea is served. 1t is brought
up to the drawing room on tray, and is
the most informal and delightful of all Eng
lish meals. Thin slices of bread and butter
and cake-homemade ifpossible--are eaten
with it, and on day "at home" it answers
as an excellent substitute for conversation.
After tea it is time to dress for a, 7:30 or
O'Clock dinner
Dinner, the master of the house now be-
ing at home, is a very formal affair, far
more so than it is with us. The manner in
which it is served is of more account than
the dishes of which it consists. Our stand
by, soup, you need never expect to get very
good, if you getit at all. Upon the inevita-
Bile joint and the no less inevitable tart you
can as surely count. With dinner the day
ends. The hours that remain are devoted
to amusement whether that means sitting
around the fire in the embarrassed silence,
broken by spasmodic "aohs" that in Eng
land is called talking, or going to the thea
ter, where stalls and balcony are usually
filled by the wealthy upper" middle class.
