of the worlds progress had taken place
during tho period covered by her
reign. The great Australian state
bearing her name recalls the history
making developments in that quarter
of the globe; the Victorian triumphs
Of exploration are typified by the dis
covery of great lakes in Central Africa.

The famous bridge at Montreal, the
beautiful park on the Canadian side OF
Niagara Falls, and some at least Of the
sixteen Victorias in the United States

not identified with anybody else, for
then things named in her honor will
indicate to all the future about the
time in the history when they came
into being.
