Depression In Australasia.

~A&OoASV
It is to be hoped that many a year will
elapse before such a season of financial
depression overtakes the United States
as that from which the British Australia
sian colonies are now suffering. 1t is I'm
paralleled in the history of Australasia.
The cause Of the hard times is twofold,
according to Mr.. Matthew Marshall in
the New York Sun. It is given in the
paragraph below, and labor organiza-
tons may be interested to know that he
attributes the depression partly to work.
ingmen's strikes. He says: :
The failure of the English, Scottish and Aus
tralian bank, announced here on Wednesday,
affects us only Indirectly through London,
where it is likely to intensity the existing feel
ing Of depression and thus to delay the revival
Of commercial and financial activity in Great
Britain for which many enterprises on this side
Of the Atlantic are waiting. The failure, like
that of the Commercial Bank Of Australia week
before last, is one Of q series of similar catas-
trophies which began with the collapse of the
great land speculations throughout the Austria
lasian federation in 1890 and which have been
more or less the consequence Of that collapse
and Of the accompanying strikes of 1890 and
1891. -
These strikes started in Queensland among
the union sheep shearers and were taken up
by the union dock laborers and union sea1ren
Of Sydney, with the result Of completely para.
lying the shipping business Of that port. The
union bakers, union bootmakers and unior
brickmakers in Victoria next struck on thei1
own account and after them the workmen q
the various building trades. TIL result was
almost a complete suspension of business
everywhere in Australasia for nearly a year
and the federation has evidently not yet re
covered from the injury thus caused to it's pros
perity. The shipping strikes at Hull and othe1
British ports now in progress are ominous o.
similar disaster to Great Britain and canno
but have IN unfavorable effect Upon tina
country's trade.

"SaHlta.ry Day,"

The fine old state Of Pennsylvania &C.
casionally presents to the public a new
idea worthy Of all consideration. Of this
sort is the proposal for an annual "Sani-
tary day." which has been laid before
her legislature. The bill which has been
presented asks that the first Thursday in
May every year be designated as SAM
tary day, and that it be devoted to CIV
ing the public instructions in hygienic
science and observances.
There might well be a sanitary day in
every state nee a year at least, on the
principle Of the nan who always took a
bath once a year whether he needed it or
not. Such a holiday would go well with
Arbor day. It ought to come with the
beginning Of hot weather so that all our
people in country and city might be i'm
pressed with the necessity Of thoroughly
disinfecting and cleaning up all their
premises inside and out. The school
children are the ones among whom the
glorious tree planting and tree preserv-
ing movement began. It should be the
same with Sanitary day. The school
children are the hope Of this nation.
Once they are thoroughly aroused to the
benefits Of sanitary science they will do
the rest in their homes and in their out
side surroundings. They will teach their
parents how air and drinking water may
spread death.
Rollo Russell in his book on epidemic
plaques and fevers complains of the in
struction in III public schools. He says
we compel children to go to school and
learn the history Of worthless old kings
about whom nobody cares in the least,
while we neglect to instruct them in
matters that pertain vitality to their own
present and future. His complaint is
just. The public. schools ought to be
the great disseminators Of sanitary and
hygienic science. Ancient history, even
curious and abstruse mathematical puZ-
zles, might well give way to practical in
s%truction in how to keep clean, moral
and healthy. All this is part Of the
child's education, and the most impor-
tant part. Once child gets broken in
to the knowledge Of how delightful a
clean skin, fresh air and well brushed
teeth are, he will never again be willing
to be a filthy, disease breeding little an.

Those who have taken the cure

Professor Langley Of the Smithsonian
is still pegging away at his flying ma
chine. He has perfected his latest model,
which weighs 40 pounds and cost $50, 900.
The body Of the machine is modelled like
that of a mackerel. The extreme end Of
the tail is the storage tank for the fuel
and gas which propel the flyer. In the
middle Of the mackerel shaped body are
the boilers, while the engines are in the
head. The FUELS refined gasoline, which,,
it is to be hoped, will not explode some
fine day and let everything drop. Instead
Of water a light ~hydrocarbon mixture
is used. Aluminium plays an important
part in the construction of the ship on
account Of it's lightness. Steel is also
used. The engines will turnA crank or
screw shaft, and that will turn the aero
planes, which correspond to sails. There
are two Of these, the larger one, 40 feet
long, being in front, the smaller in the
rear. For sailcloth china silk is used.
In his laboratory in the Smithsonian
Professor Langley has succeeded in max
ing small models which fly perfectly.
but we have yet to hear the result Of the
attempt to float the large one in the open
air. Meantime where is Mr.. Maxim's

Selling Smoked Glass so2 :he Eclipse.
Few citizens in Brooklyn had appar-
entity provided themselves with means fer
viewing the recent eclipse, and when the
moon began to move across the suns
face there was a running hither and
thither for colored glasses in the bust
ness part of the city in the neighborhood
of the city hall. On one Of the corners
a young man was heard to cry:
"This way for your smoked glass!
Five cents apiece!'
He was Immediately clad in Prince
Albert coat, fashionably cut trousers.
new kid gloves and patent leather shoes.
while his head was surmounted by Il
glossy silk hat.
1t was not long before he had all the
business he could attend to and he
smoked bits of window glass over a
candle and passed them off like hot
cakes, his singular appearance height
ening his trade to a remarkable degree.
He was imperturbable when guyed by
the street arabs, and in a short time his
pockets bulged with nickels.
After the man in the moon had kissed
farewell to the western limb of the sun
the young man kicked the candle into
the gutter and strolled around the cor
ner. He was seen to meet another
young man, who wore a detected air
and who proceeded to place sundry bills
Of large denomination in the yendor's

Equalizing Gold and Silver.

One way Of e%qualizing more nearly the
supply Of the two metals will be tried
this year that has not yet been resortedt to
to any great extent. That is the work
ing Of the known gold mines for all there
is in them. Silver has been depressed so
long that except in uncommonly rich
mines it does not pay to extract the ore.
Consequently the attention Of capitalists
turns more and more to economic and
improved methods of extracting gold.
This will be a great gold mining year
if the present indications are justified.
A new way Of working quartz is called
the cyanide of potassium process. By
this method quartz that was formerly
not thought worth anything can DO
made to yield a paying quantity Of the
yellow metal. Placer gold is the gold
washed out Of veins or lodes by the ac-
tion Of water. Recently attention has
been given to Inventions which bring out
Of the placer deposits much more nd eta!
than could be obtained under the old
wasteful washing process. A powerful
air exhaust pumping machine upon a
fat bottomed boat brings up in great
quantity mud and sand from the bed Of
streams where placer gold is found.
Hydraulic machinery will now wash
down g whole mountainif necessary, On
the whole, there need not be any great
surprise if the beginning Of 1894 finds
the worlds gold supply considerably in
creased.

Difference Of religion is at the bottom
Of the bitterness against home rule in
Ulster. It is hard for an American to
understand that in the north Of Ireland
Professionals and Catholics still regard
each other with so much dislike and sus-
picion thnt a stranger might fancy the
"siege of Derry" was not yet ended and
that King James followers were still
fighting. In America. the two creeds
live peaceably side by side, and with the
exception Of an occasional outbreak, or
'*break" Of somebody's ongueo or pen, one
may conclude that differences of opinion
in theology have been sunk in the one
absorbing aim Of getting on in this world.
In north Ireland, however, there are not
so great possibilities in the way of &C
cumulating wealth in this world; onse-
quently the doughty Ulstermen turn
their attention more to the next. There
is no doubt many of them really believe
that if the home rule Measure were
passed they would no longer be safe in
the enjoyment Of their religion. It is no
credit either to Balfour, the Conservative
leader, that he has done all in his power
to arouse the flames of religious dissen-
sion.

Galapagos.

Galapagos.
Unfortunately it was a little previous,
so to speak-the announcement that a
treaty had been concluded with Ecuador
for the requirement by the United States
Of a coaling station on the Galapagos
islands. It is a thing that ought to be
yet, however. Perhaps the story will
bring about it's own naturalization like
the famous lie Charles Lamb wrote to a
friend in Australia. By the time the
letter reached Australia the lie had be-
come a truth, and the occurrence which
Lamb invented had actually happened.
We have now two coaling stations in
the Pacific besides that at the southern
extremity of South America. One is at
Pago Pago, in Samoa; the other, Pearl
harbor, is in Hawaii at the mouth Of
the Pearl river, near Honolulu. The
third we should by all means have on the
Galapagos islands. These three would
be points into which both merchant
and naval ships could put for repairs
and coal supplies. With our ever in
creasing commercial interests in the Pa
cifc, we should have such stations with
in easy reach everywhere.
The Galapagos islands are under the
equator on the direct route from South
American ports=to Honolulu. They are
700 miles from the South American coast
and about $50 from Hawaii. This group
is also on the direct route between San
Francisco and Valparaiso. Chatham is
the island that has been mentioned as the
one most desirable for the location of a
coaling station. One or two vessels of
the new navy might linger around their
permanently if we had possession and
be in easy reach of either Hawaii or the
South American ports. X
The Galapagos are uninhabited by any
human residents, which perhaps is all
the better. They ought to be studied
both for purposes Of science and 70
nance. The fora and fauna present
rich field of exploration to the scientist
while the novelist might make them Tx
scene of many a wild, weird and thrill
ing romance. The heroine Of his stor,
might, for instance, be attacked anl
nearly carried off by one Of the monste,
turtles which remain as a survival O
the prehistoric time.
