The Four Winds,

Wind of the North,
Wind Of the Norland SHOWS.
Wind of the winnowed skies, and sharp. clear
stars
Blow cold and keen across the naked hills
And crisp the lowland pools with crystal films
And blur the easement squares with glitterng ice
But 60 not near my love.
Wind Of the West.
Wind Of the few. far clouds
Wind Of the gold and crimson sunset lands
Blow fresh and pure the peaks and plains
And broaden the blue spaces of the heavens y
And sway the grasses and the mountain pines
But let my dear
Wind of the East,
Wind Of the sunrise seas
Wind Of the cl,nging mists and gray, harsh rains-
Blow moist and chill across the wastes Of brine
And shut the sun out, and the moon and stars
And lash the boughs against the dripping caves
Yet keep thou from my love.
But thou. sweet wind,
Wind Of the fragrant South.
Wind from the bowers of jasmine and Of rose
Over magnolia blooms and lilied lakes
And Towering forests come with dewy wings,
And stir the petals al her feet and kiss
The low mound where she lies

Retaining Great Australian Desert.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
1t has been discovered that part, at
least, of that region which used to be
known as the Great Australian desert is
capable of irrigation and cultivation. Five
million acres of desert land have been re-
claimed and now under cultivation.
There is plenty of water below the surface
an. all one has to do is to bore for ii and
get plentiful supply. a large part of the
interior of the island continent of Australia
Is still uneXplored. Expeditions are now at
work in the unknown region and much will
be added to our knowledge of me country
when they return. Should the unknown
prove to be a veritable desert, incapable of
reclamation, one project is to let in the wa
tiers Of the Pacific ocean and form an inland
sea. The region of the salt lakes in the in
terror, and, it is believed, a larger part of
the desert lands. are below the level Of the
ocean, and no serious engineering obstacle
would have to be overcome in flooding the
desert. The artificial would be a shall
low one, only navigable for vessels of light
draught, but specially built vessels could
be used in its commerce, and on it's shores
would spring up great stock farms and
prosperous cities. 1t would open up all of
Central Australia to trade, agriculture
stock raising and civilization. The cargoes
gathered by the fleets of the inland sea
would be taken to port at the entrance to
that body of water and from there trans
shipped to all parts Of the world.

close this with few lines l have just
received from a n: ssionary at Kiao-chou.
In speaking of the Boxers he says:
ut is mistake to consider this anti
Christian movement, it is unquestiona5ly
an anti-foreign crusade. Non-Christians,
employed by merchants and railways. and
clerks in the imperial post and telegraph
offices, have suffered, well as the con-
verts. In Chill! province even the posses
sion Of a watch, Il foreign lamp or a cigar
cite has cost many their lives. The settle
ment Of the trouble should be on broad
lines. The empress dowager has undoubt-
eddy secretly encouraged the movement al
though latterly her rival. Prince ruan,
has stolen her thunder"

Han Yang, and has been making steel rails
for a railroad which he proposed to build
from Hankow to Pekin. He has opened
iron and coal mines. and has gone into al
sorts of modern enterprises.
Among other II w things proposed by
him was an agricultural eSperir a col
lego to teach his people our methods of
farming He sent to Cornell for American
professors. and made three-year contracts
with them at high salaries to come out and
take charge of this school. When they ar
rived they We're given a house and told to
go to work.
In the meantime the old dowager issued
her edict and Chang Chi Tung began to
draw back. He refused to give the pro
fesscrs farms which to work. putting
them off on one pea or another from
month to month until the time of their con.
tract had Almost expired. At last the
young men would star no 'onror. Thei1
salaries We're being paid, but they would
not consent to remain unless they We're
given chance TO earn them. so they nave
thrown IN the job and gone back to the
United States.
Chang Chi Tung had ordered all kinds of
agricultural machinery in connection with
this school. The latest moving machines.
plows, harrows and cu.'ivatOrs were
shipped out to him. They arrived in good
order, but are rus.ing away unused. He
had ordered modern carriage in order
that he might ride about in state and as
tonish the Chinese in a region where our
carriages are unknown and where the only
conveyances are rude carts and sedan
chairs. The carriage came, and Chang Chi
Tung has plenty of horses but he does not
use the carriage. If he did he would be
looked upon as modern nnOvatOr and
friend of he foreigners, so he sticks to the
sedan chair and the cart.

Perhaps the most important event in
America was the arrival of Agasslz. He

Investigation and study that entirely
changed existing methods. He was one Of
the greatest of the worlds teachers in
zoology, and in morphology and embry-
