Snow is said, to be eight feet deep in
New South Wales. That Australian
colony is enterprising apd progressive,
and in many respects it must be good
place in which to reside. But undoubt-
edly it has its drawbacks. In the sum
mer the heat is almost always frightfu1,
and in the winter the temperature goes
to just the opposite extreme. It's q pity
that some inventive genius does not run
pipe line from one side of the world to
the other, so as to bring about an equal
ization of temperature that would b.
undoubtedly highly pleasing to the in.
habitants of each side.

siderable assistance from local Dutch
