pRoGREssIvE AUSTRALIA.

Australia to-day is so far advanced
in civilization as any country in the
world. The roads are better than any
on this continent; the daily and week
ly papers and the development of
literature and art are far in advance of
the age of the colonies or the popula-
ton. The new commonwealth has all
Europe and America as field in which
to seek the improvements of the time
and the means to secure them. It's
present wealth is almost beyond be-
lief, and its resources almost incalcul-
able. 1t produces more than one
fourth of the wool of the WORLDWIDE
as much as the United States. It pro-
duces one-haf of the tin of the world,
and there is no precious metal that has
not been found within its domain. It's
coal fields on the coast, convenient for
export to all countries, are inexhausti-
BILE. The inward and outward shipping
of one port alone exceeds 100000 tons
per annum, and the value of it's COM
merce with Great Britain alone ex-
ceeds e1OOO00O0O sterling.
Last years estimate of the animal
industrial productions of the popula-
ton, including both agriculture and
mineral wealth, was no less than e95,-
$4,000.
It's cities also are among the finest of
modern times. The public buildings,
shops and parks compare favorably
with any in Europe or America, while
the floating palaces of the Peninsula
and Oriental Steamship Company and
the Orient Steamship Company give
weekly communication with the Old
World. In ut,door sports the Austria
lians excel, and their racing establish
ments and courses are the wonder and
admiration of all visitors from abroad.

Australian Statesmen.

In the Australian Federation con-
vention Sir Henry Parkes was the most
conspicuous figure. Fifty years ago
he emigrated from Warwickshire, Eng
land, to Australia, penniless farmer.
He tried farming in Australia and
failed at it. He tried other things and
failed at them. One day at Sydney he
found himself actually starving AS
he walked along the street in despair
he saw something shine. 1t proved to
be sixpence. This was the turning
point of his fortunes. With the coin
he bought some bread and cheese, and
then, refreshed, set out once more in
in search of employment. He succeed
ed in getting work as a longshoreman,
and since then has risen to the highest
station, though still poor in money
Many other delegates can tell similar
stories, says the Illustrated American.
Few owe their rise to any other cause
than native strength of character
John Forrest, the foremost representa-
tive OF western Australia, won fame as
an explorer before he developed as a
statesman. Twice he crossed Australia
by routes through wild and desolate
regions that no other white man had
ever succeeded in travelling Sir Geo.
Grey was Governor at the Cape of
Good Hope in difficult times, was
twice Governor Of New Zealand, and
each time conducted a successful war
against the Maoris, and wooed hard
ships and adventure in the rudest
forms as an explorer in Western Aus
tralia, The number of young men
among the delegates was a characters
tic Of the convention. With men of
such mould as the makers of Australia

HUsTLlNG FOR NEWS.

A great many people think a news
paper should have about a page of
local news whether anything happens
or not. Deluded mortalsl Local
editors cannot make people break their
necks, commit suicide or do any OF the
other exciting things that go to make
up the material out of which the local
reported delights to weave paragraphs.
Furnishing domestic news when there
is none is very much like extracting
blood from a turnip It is no more
than fair that those who grumble at
the lack of local news in their paper
should stop and think whether they
could not give the editor an item or
two worth printing, and, if so, let them
hold their peace or growl at their own
remissness.

Electric shadows.

If you ever observe it, the electric
light is responsible for many grotes-
queries nightly painted on respectable
walls and matter-of-fact sidewalks.
Shadows are only shadows, but they
give one the shivers sometimes, espec-
tally at a late hour, when honest folks
are supposed to be in bed. Giants of
despair then stretch out long arms at
the corners Of silent streets, and
strange profiles are thrown against the
unconscious houses, and weird traceri-
es of dancing branches make the pave
ment rise and fall in a style that must
puzzle a person who knows he is sober.
Alone, without the presence of human
ity, these electric shadows lend the
sleeping city a mystic animation that
even conventional moonshine fails TO
dispel. The sputter, the swish Of the
lights, too, add to the uncanny effect,
and their fluctuations would ia time
drive the sane mad if thought was
taken of them. Luckily, man can ac-
custom himself to almost anything. -

a NEW LIEN LAW.

The new lien law signed by Governor
Pattison provides as follows
"That no contract which shall here
after be made for the erection of the
whole or of any part, of a new building,
with the owner of the lot on which the
same shall be erected shall operate to
interfere with or defeat the right of a
sub-contraotor who shall do work or
furnish materials under agreement
with the original contractor in aid of
such erection, to file mechanics lien of
the amount which shall be due for the
value of such work or materials furn-
ished, unless such sub-contractor shall
have consented in writing to be bound
by the provisions of such contract with
the owner in regards to the filing of
liens. Without such written consent
of the sub-cOntractor all contracts be-
tween the original contractor and the
owner which shall expressly or inn
pliedly stipulate that no such liens
shall be flied shall be invalid as against
the right of such sub-contractor to file

ARrEsIAN WELL rnn,aAr1oN.

Among the most interesting investi
cations now being conducted by oul
Government is that into the presence
of water underneath the Western
plains. It is unique field of inquiry
and its results from both scientific
and practical standpoint are likely to
be Of considerable Importance. 1t was
prompted by the query whether it were
not possible to reclaim large sections
of arid lands by means of water from
artesian wells, aud, while other inter
esting facts have been developed that
is the most emphasized in the lengthy

In Dakota large basin has been found
to exist about 400 miles long by forty
or fifty miles in width along the James
River, and has been given its name.
Its eastern boundry is marked by the
watershed between the Red River of
the North and the James River, and it
extends thence about fifty miles or
more west. It is pronounced the
largest and strongest artesian basin in
yet discovered in this country. The
water is found in great bed of white
sand, which is thrown out in great
quantities by the wells where they are
to flow freely. In Kansas there
are large areas where the water does
not rise to the surface, though an
an abundant supply is obtainable by
