A strange Country.

Australia is a country in
which nature has established
conditions unknown elsewhere,
and where civilization must
adapt itself to surroundings
whichit finds novel and strange.
1t is a country full of absurdi-
ties in animal, vegetable and
human life. Its native race, in
point Of intelligence and devel-
opment of resources, is far be-
low even the cave dwellers and
the people Of the stone age Of
Europe. Its animals perpetu te
types which disappeared from
every other part Of the globe
some millions OF years ago. Its,
trees and plants are representa-
tive Of species found elsewhere
only in chalk and coal measures.
Hardly anything here has the
character and quality IF its re-
lations III other lands. Although
the trees and flowers are chiefly
those Of the temperate zone, the
birds are. for the most part, of
the tropics and flash the gor-
geous colors of the parrot and
the cockatoo through the dull
foliage Of the sad toned eucalyp-
tus. The birds have no song,
and such notes as they possess
seem like wierd echoes from
a period when reptiles were as
summing wings and filling the
tree tops with a strange jargon,
before heard only in the swaInps
aud fens. The flowers have nc
scent, while the leaves Of every
tree are full Of odor. The trees
cast no shade, since every leaf
Is set at edge against the sun,
and shed, not their leaves, but
their bark, which stripping of
inlong scales, exposes the naked
wood beneath, and adds to the
ghostly effect which the forest
already holds in the pallid hues
Of is foliage.

RADFORD.
RADFoRD GOSSIP.
George Rutter Charged With
the Chris Coke Murder.
ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU, |
RADFoRD, VA, Nov. 25. J

Officers Shell and Akers to-day ar
rested and placed in Jail George Rutter,
evidence having been obtained strongly
duplicating him in the murder of Chris
Coke.
A gang of fifteen or twenty convicts,
with cart and mules, passed through
Radford this morning In charge of three
guards. 1t is rumored they are On their
way to Knoxville to begin work on the
Little River.
Messrs. Robinson and Peters have, in
the last few days, received letters from
parties in New York, Chicago and other
point, with reference to the purchase of
farming, mineral and timber lands in
Montgomery county.
Rumor has it that, in short time,
the name of East Radford will be
changed to Central Radford. Several
prominent gentlemen in the eastern
sec ton have been interviewed upon the
subject and express themselves highly
pleased with the idea.
Second seventy-six, an east bound
freight train, under the charge of Con-
ductor Owen and Engineer Pyertz, ran
into the first section this morning about
1870, between Clarks Tank and Pulaski,
knocking off the headlight and smoke
stack of the second sections engine and
demolishing the caboose of the first
section and damaging number of cars.
Tho engineer and fireman jumped AID
escaped injury. Conductor Rider of the
first section, had the misfortune to lose
a lot of clothes and ten dollars, which
was caused by the caboose catching fire
from the engine. ALI traffic was de-
layed until IL o'clock, when the track
was cleared.
A movement is on foot to petition tn Q
council of the eastern section to build
"a market house in that section of the
town. This they think will be a source
of revenue to the town and enable tho
farmers to better dispose of their
products.
Judge Vaughan and Mr.. c. A. How
ard were hastily summoned to Floyd
county by telegraph to-day, the former
to attend his wife's mother and the
latter his mother. both OF whom are
seriously ill.
j. D. Peters has just completed
painting and papering his handsome
residence. This splendid piece of work
was done by William A. Larkin, of
Roanoke.
M. e. Peters, of Dublin, has let con-
tract for handsome residence on First
street, near the Tyler block in the east
ern section, and Messrs. Peters Brothers
have let the contract for nne business
house on Walker street in the western
section. Work on both of these houses
will begin imm ediately.

Sunday Postage stamps.

The Homiletic Review tells of q novel
method adopted in Belgium to deter
mine whether Sunday shall be day of
rest for letter carriers. Sunday post
age stamps are to be provided. Al let
ter with such stamps mailed Saturday
are to he delivered Monday. After try
ing the experiment for awhile it is to
be decided, according to the relative
number of letters with these stamps,
whether the majority of the letter
writing public want the postman to en-
JOY Sunday rest. If they do. then the
carriers are to be freed from Sunday

made of castiron and hoped with
steel. 1t weighs 1214 tons and is 10 feet
inches long. The shell was made of
the best of steel and was feet inches
long. ut weighed 62S1S pounds.
Tho target consisted of steel armor
plate ten feet long, five feet wide and
four and Il half inches thick, or one
inch heavier than the average nr,..or
plates on the deck of any man-of-war
af1oat. The ordnance department had
required this additional thickness of
one extra inch to give the shell q con-
elusive test. The distance between the
target and the muzzlc OF the gun was
$50 feet. Fifty-two pounds of powder
were used. When the gun was fired D.
dense smoke hid il from view for sew
'eral minutes. The report was short
and deafening. The moment the shell
struck the armor plato heavy pieces
of steel and timber were whirlcd
through the air in almost every
direction. The missile had gone through
the upper part OF it and broken one
half of it into pieces, while the other
part was badly cracked. There was
no other trace of the shell, but Capt.
Heath, under whose supervision the test
took place, had followed it's flight and
saw it when it finally struck the sand
800 yards beyond the target. 1t had not
lost its shape, but Il quarter of it was
neatly broken out. The top was con-
siderably flattened and was also cracked
lcngthwisc and crosswisc.
The cost of this single shot almost
amounts to $1,000. The price of the
shell armor plate was $1,000, the price
of the shell $500 and the price of the
powder about SIP.
The recent tests of heavy guns and
the complete smashing of armor-platc
targets lend especial interest to the
following paragraph from Engineering,
which also presents the accompanying
illustration. The cut is intended to
show the tremendous power developed
by a1101ton 1G-inch brcech-lo loading gun.
1t will be observed that the projectilc
has passed through twenty inches of

Origin of "Hobson.s choice. -

The famous old saying about "Hob-
sons choice" comes from Mr.. Tobias
Hobson of Cambridge, England, who
amassed fortune in what we would
call the livery business, as Carrier"
he called it, and always kept forty
steeds ready for mounting. 1t was an
.infcxible rule, however, that customers
should choose the nag nearest the
stable door, and SO all Jared evenly,
fortune allotting the best charges.
There is an old print of Mr.. Hobson
showing him with bag of u hundred
sovereigns in his hand and the motto:
'Thc fruitful mother of hundred
more" TO learn the origin of SO famil-
iar q saying is always pleasing.

The New Alps Tunnel.

The Simplon tunnel, according to the
latest plans. would cost $4,000, 600. 1t
would pierce the Pontine Alps, fn the

feet above the sea. Its length would
he 117,600 feet. 22.1 miles. The cost of
the tunnel is estimated ut SI4, 450, 0e0,
and the approaches and interest on cap
itai will bring the amount needed up TO

virtue of being correct.
One of our most progressive citizens
calls the REPORTERS attention to the
shameful manner in which boys of all
sizes from footers down, make use Of
the Kennebec at this point for bathing
purposes. Time was when the boys
would go beyond the view of pedestrians
or highway travellers but since the logs
have been doomed at the "old swimming
hole, instead of going farther up river,
they now battle within plain view of peo
pile In that vicinity, and will continue to
do so unless stopped by the proper au-
thorties. We would recommend this
matter should be looked into, and that
early.
