The scenery OF the Parramatta river
is not unlike that Of the Thames

springtime. when the wonderful pro-
fusion Of wild flowers imparts an ad-

the masses of rock. which in many
places rise boldly from the edges of
the stream, are decked with bright
colored clusters Of Australian native
flowers Of the most lovely and varied
description.
The trees also claim . large share
of admiration not only from che lover
of the beautiful In nature. but also
from the utilitarian, for they include
the orange. with its bright green fol-
age and dainty white flowers or rich
golden fruit both seen on the tree
at one and the same time. The orange
is not only . picturesque adjunct to

MILLIONS OF BANANAS.
rArss Vessel Loads of the Fruit Make
Work Lively In rhil-
adclphia.

Scarcity of domestic grown fruits
caused another record in the importa-
ton of bananas to be broken, when
three vessels, all laden with the tempt
ing fruit of the West Indies, lately
came up the Delaware, says the Phi.a-
delphia Inquirer.
One Of the three was the Russian
steamboat Urania, with 16,a00 punches
Of bananas slowed away in her hold,
and the others were the Norwegian
steamships Spero and Leon, the for
mer carrying $4,000 punches and the
latter with 14,0C0 punches, u grand to-
tai for the three ships of 42,3oo
punches. Averaged at 60 bananas to
each bunch, this means that 2,a3S,OOO
bananas were unloaded altogether. or
nearly two for each resident of Phil
adelphia.
So great was the inward rush OF the
fruit that one Of the ships, the spero,
was una BILE to find dock room. and her
cargo was brought to shore in lighters,
while the Spero lay at anchor in the
middle of the Delaware of piers. This
10 one of the rarest Of happenings in
this port, and the proceedings were
watched with interest by big crowd
Of spectators. The unprecedented de-
mand for men to unload the bananas,
work which the importers find 1t pays
to do with especial quickness while the
big consumption Of the fruit is on, nat
urally sent longshoremen's wages
skyward, and the pockets Of many OF
them were jingling with coin at the
end Of the day.

WEIGHING GOLD COIN.
Six Asa Used IN Chicago
Banks,

A machine which does the work Of
six bank clerks in weighing gold coins
has been introduced in several Chica-
go banks. and its operation caused con-
sternation among the bank employees.
George Sites. Of the First national
bank, is one Of the two inventors Of
the machine. Under his direction 5000
gold coins at the Commercial national
bank the other day were weighed. sort
ed and counted. says Chicago special
to the New York Times.
The fact that gold Coins are accepted
at weight value and not At face value
is responsible for the invention OF the
machine For some time banks have
been receiving gold by weight. and the
work OF the teller has become arduous.
Every-grain that has been worn from
. gold piece in circulate means loss
Of four per cent. in value, and this
amount has to be deducted.
Mr.. Sites conceived the idea that the
work Of weighing the coin might be
done by machinery. With the assist
ance Of his brother-in-law, c. n.
Reeves. he worked out the delicate
mechanism. The coins are fed to the
machine much as wheat TO mill. The
standard weight coins are returned 70
one compartments and the underweight
coins TO another. The machine makes
no mistakes.

CYCLISTS BULL-FIGHT.
the Pnpulaes II . Mexican
Nln9.

An appreciative crowd OF nearly 5000
people saw a commendable exhibition
in the Romita bull ring by q repre-
sentative cuadrilla OF Mexico City
cyclists one afternoon recently. The
affair was well carried out and ap-
plause was generous during the after
noon. reports the Mexican Herald. The
five bulls killed were from the haci-
enda of A,enco, the property Of Senior
BarbabosA-
The features of the day were the
placing OF the bandcrillos from bi
cycle by Jose Basurto. and "a Don
Tancrsdo en- biciclo" by Alberto
Elgues. The former placed the sticks
in the neck of the second bull with
skill and daring; the latter coolly sat
on his wheel. which was propped to
stand upright in the center of the ring.
while the bull. luckily, paid no a,ten-
ton TO him. He was applauded.
The hrs, bull found Manuel G. San
chez prepared to do him to the death.
but Manuers preparatory course had
obviously been incomplete. He failed.
even though using some strokes never
known before. TO kill the bull. and the
beast was finally lassoed.
Jose Coxio braved the second bull,
and dispatched him neatly with an
estocada de puimon. The other bulls
were tackled and killed i,,l;ernate or
der BY the two matador.s.

ARIZONA BOY sHeRIpr.

MaAs Several Wonderful
FARPests.

There IL . true, old-fashioned dime
novel boy living out in Arizona. He
makes the most wonderful arrests. and
is known all around that locality as
the youngesto onicer Of the peace in the
United States. He lives at Congress,
and is Richard Boscha. the l4-year-old
son Of Deputy Sheriff Boscha. who
has been deputy sheriff Of Yavapal
county, Ariz.. for 20 years, and is a
very fearless and worthy officer. says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Richard is . small boy for his age.
but he inhe rits the fearlessness Of his
father. He has deep black hair and
eyes and his face is most intelligent.
Not long ago he came to Phoenix,
bringing with him the lo-year-o,d son
Of . county officer who had fallen so
deeply in love with the "Coontown 400''
that he had run away with the organ
ization. When the young peace OFF,
Ger was asked whether the young
man was glad TO go back home. he
smiled and said:
mo; he did not want to come. but
there was no way out of it for him"
Young Mr.. Boscha's abilities as an
officer Of the peace first came into no.
tice about q year ago by the arrest Of
Mexican for whom the officers had
been looking for long time. He and
another Mexican had fought duel
because Of their mutual love of pret-
ty Mexican girl, and the duel was in
tended to be deadly. One OF the duel
lists was wounded and the other left
the country. Officers hunted every
where for him, but he could not be
found.
Some months afterward Richard
Boscha. then only 13 years OF age.
found the duelist and at the point of
, gun took him into camp.

To the tourist through Italy the con-
trast between the north and south
provinces in the matter Of beggary
along the streets and highways has
often been remarked. There is little
or no begging in northern Italy. as
there is in Naples. In the southern
part Of the peninsula the people are
mixed with the scum Of the levant. In
the north the country il agriculturally
rich and there are no crop failures.
The irrigation system is SO good and
the water from the mountains so
plentiful that the plains Of Lombardy
are q delight to the eye. The people
are q business people. serious, self
contained and self-respecting. The
south lives o6 what the tourists spend.
the north lives on their business.
The average tourist stays In Naples,
including Pompeii. Vesuvius. Sorrento.
Amalf ten days; Rome two weeks.
Florence Eve or seven days, Venice
four. Genoa one and Milan one or

house of Milan. known as La Scala, has
been very little used Of late years. 1t

BOAT rowED BY KITES.
River Assslls In
France.

Since the kite has entered into the
domain of science, it has been greatly
perfected. The aim has been to give
1t considerabl ascensional force and
great stability, SO that IL may be used
to carry into the dir apparatus used
in meteorology and photography
without fear Of disastrous fall. But
hitherto little has been done to utilize
its force Of tradition, which may be
considerable ii it 10 given sufficient
height. Recently, however. says Cos
mos. experiments In this direction
have been made on the Moselle by .
man who. having flown . Malay kite
two meters (six and one-half feet)
In length, caused 1t to tow against q
somewhat swift current a boat hold
ing six persons. Tbs wind was quite
strong, and 1t was very easy to in
crease the force of traction by flying
several kites. Those of the Hargrave
system would, perhaps. be. the best
since one Of this kind having height
OF IA meters (four and one-half feet)
can scarcely be held by two men.
when enough cord has been paid out
The retaining cable must possess
great strength. especially il it Is to
hold several kites, or the tractive
force may rupture 1t.
It is evident that in this original
mode Of locomotion the direction of
the wind plays an important part. for
IL the angie that 1t makes with the
watercourse exceeds Is or so degrees,
the boat is hard to steer, and moves
slowly. Nevertheless this method OF
seeking q continuous current OF air
at q certain height is of the greatest
simplicity. II it is not used. the reA-
son IL doubtless that it has been
thought that not enough force would
be developed by 1t. Still. the results
already obtained are interesting.
