Nearly 10000 Species or Insect Life
Discovered ON the Island.
Australia is a veritable naturaiist's
paradise, presenting as it does an ever
fresh and inexhaustibie field for the
study of the various branches of
natural history. The insect fauna Is
extremely large. The characteristics
OF the numerous beetles. flies, wasps.
butterflies. moths and other kinds OF
and American experts at once recog-
nize a specimen from Australia. The
Australian insect fauna Is estimated at
10000 species, but 1t is believed that
the actual number is considerably
greater. OF these the greatest variety
is to be found in New South Wales, the
scientific collections formed In Sidney
and elsewhere being of singular at
Effectiveness and interest. In the vicin-
ity of streams may be found large and
beautiful dragon flies, often of con
siderable size. Native honey bees are
plentiful in many places and are easily
recognizable by their small size, being
little larger than the common house
fly. Mosquitoes are practically un-
known in the dry interior. but their
place is taken by the sand fly. an equal
~ mischievous insect. There are spld-
ers of all sizes. n few being poisonous.
but their webs are generally of a most
fanciful character. The splendid APP
pearance of some of the butterflies riv-
ais that of the most gorgeous insects
found In South American forests.

One OF the most remarkable char
acteIs in this country today is DR.. D.
X. Pearsons, OF Chicago. In 1860, ct
the age o. 40, he went TO that city, the
possessor $1,000 in cash which he lad
saved during 10 years pracucing medi-
cine in Chicopee, Mass. 1t was dis
NAL, rainy day when he and his wife
reached the city and they were net
faVOrably impressed with the appear

in the city. but did not go near them.

the rate of $40 a week for both. The
doctor had gone to Chicago for the
purpose of becoming rich. and as soon
as he unpacked his yaliSe. which con-
tained tGe $4,000. he commenced look
ing around for an opportunity to make
money. He finally determined to start
in the real estate business. He hired
desk room in a law Office at SO a year
and started in to make a fortune.
He had letter from friend in the
eastauthorizing him TO sell 1900 acres
of land in Champaign county. He ad-
vertised to sell this tract in farms Of
120 and 40 acres and began hustlins
for customers. On every sale he was
to receive q commission of five per
cent, and the terms were one-fourth
cash, and the balance in security run
ming from one to four years. At that
time 1t was considered almost impoS-
sible to sell an Illinois farm.

The Retort Courteous.

1t is not often that one comes across
such crushing retOrt as that which a
Sussex husband received from his wife
the other day through the medium Of
the public press. He advertised in one

for the debts incurred by his wife. "
She seems to have been truly amia5le

In speaking of the ball game at Aus
tin on the Fourth the Autograph says:
"One of the most interesting features
of the day was the ball game between
Austin and Sinnamahoning, which was
won by the home team, the score being
10 to II. 1t was a hot day but the boys
played strong game with but few
errors. And let us remark right here
that the Sinnamahoning boys are as
gentlemanly lot of ball players as
ever visited Austin. The irrepressible
