Modern AndaIuSia.

Mr.. Carl Luffmann, the well-known
Australian agricultural expert. who
has been for some months studying
viticulture and fruit growing round
about Malaga, gives a highly favorable
account of that part of Spain as field
for emigration, in the London Daily
News. With the importation there of
industrious men, capital and modern
appliances there is every natural con-
dition, he thinks, favorable to a speedy
and profitable return. In fact, accord
ing TIC this authority, there is no coun-
try in Europe which presents advan-
tages equal to those Of Australia. At
the same time he points out that Spain
offers the advantage Of being in Eu-
rope, and therefore close at home,
while it has local attractions of such
an old world character as delight the
most conservative. From a health
point of view, moreover, the climate is
unrivaled, circumstance which tells
strongly in favor of happiness. In
Spain there are no bad seasons, no
drudgery, no hard competition, no
dearth of sunG.line. The country Mr..
Luffmann declares, is open to receive
and benefit every class of emigrant.

An instance of this came under my
observation once l was taking little
pleasure trip in the saddle to the
northern metropolis, Ping Yang. One
day, as l was sitting in my room, a
Corean came in to call. He said that a
day Or two before the governor had
sent an official down to the cotton mer-
chants and asked for a loan" The
answer was not verbal, but the mer-
chants arose, rushed to the house of
the official, pulled it down, and scat
tered the debris along the street. That
was a characteristic answer for the
men of Ping Yang, but they are much
more energetic than the southern Co.
reanS.
Now, the idea of the japanese is to
change all this. The idea of the Chi
nese is to keep things as they are.

Modern Performance of Play Writes
Thousands Of Years Ago.
At the Irving Place Theater, New
York, was recently given a performance
Of "vasantasena," drama written
thousands Of years ago by Sudraka, the
king Of small Hindoo sovereignty
1t was the first performance ever given
In this country, although it has been
performed several times in Europe
with great grandeur.
The drama Is very interesting and
noteworthy, principally because first
1t enlightens us about Hindoo life, cul.
ture, and customs of the time, both
In court circles and in the homes OF tho
people. There Is a great similarity to
Shakespeare, which is surprisingly evi.
dent in the gradual working up Of
dramatic situations and the stupendous
climaxes of this drama Of human pas
sions.
Sudraka renders the dramatic action
in noble rhymes, which are interspers-
ed by characteristic scenes in prose,
Introducing the people as they are true
to nature. He offers us an excellent
example of the humorous originality
and innate wit Of our Aryan forefath.

Favors Wide Tires ON Wagon Wheels.
The Agricultural Department has is-
sued bulletin compiled by Roy Stone,
special agent in charge of road inquiry,
containing Information concerning the
use of wide tires on wagon wheels. Mr..
Stone regards 1t Of special Importance
In the maintenance Of public highways
that the vehicles used on them shall
have tires of greater width than are
now In general use. Extracts from the
State law respecting the width of tire
to be used on vehicles are given, some
OF which offer rebate of q portion of
the highway tax on wagons with rims
or tires not less than three and three
and half inches in width. The results
OF experiments with wide tires in vari-
Gus States are also given. The bulletin
In concluding prints extracts from the
Consular reports concerning the width
OF tires prescribed in various foreign
countries. In France every freighting
cart Is said to be roadmaker. Their
tires are from three to ten inches in
width, usually from four to six. The
German law prescribes that wagons for
heavy loads. such as coal, brick, earth,
and stone, must have q width of tire
OF at least four inches.
