RICHEST NATION ON EARTH.

New Common wealth In the AntipOdes
eau HOast the Distinction.
1t will surprise many to learn that
the new commonwealth Of Australia IL
the richest nation on the face Of the
globe There IL not as much wealth
there In the aggregate as may be found
In some Of the older countries, but the
per capita possessions Of the Austria
lians fur exceed those of other people
In Europe or America. The common
wealth Is continental island, rich In
land tit for settlement and industry.
Its national prosperity Is dependent
upon no single product. but embraces
pastoral, agricultural and mining In
dustries In almost equal degree. and
to these are rapidly being added manu-
features.
Last year the total value of the prod
ucts of the colonies forming the Austria
lian commonwealth amounted to fully
$3.50. OOO, 900, of which their pastoral in
dustries represented $l50.OOO. 900, their
agricultural $l4O.0OO.OO their mineral
products fully $lOO,OOO,OOO and their
manufacturing and other industries the
remaining 1GO.OOO,OOO. The wool alone
from the 12O.OOO.OOO sheep raised In
1900 was worth $lOO,OOO,OOO.
The mineral resources Of Australia
cannot even be guessed at. In the last
fOrty-eight years the country has pro.
duccd gold to the value Of $1,SOO, OOO.
600. In the last twenty silver to the
value Of $150,0O0,0OO.
Diamonds are found In one district.
rubies In another. There Is at least one
emerald mine In New South Wales.
and opals equal to any In the world
are found In Queensland, while the
pearl fisheries of the northwestern
coast produce a considerable portion
Of the most valuable pearls Of com.

AN right" said the locksmith, who
keeps a little shop in Amsterdam ave-
nue. and does odd Jobs of no great i'm.
portance in themselves for the resi-.
dents of the nelghborhood, "all right
sir, can fix this key to suit you,
think"
You see" he explained to a visitor,
according to the New York Herald.
when the customer had retired, "he
wants me to give him janitor.proof

when man moves into new apart
mcnt-that Is. an apartment that Is new
to him-the first thing he begins to
worry about Is the key proposition. I'll
take my oath that New York people are
the most suspicious set of citizens that
I ever saw in all my life. Why, they
don't trust their relatives. After the
man of the fiat gets his string of two or
three keys from the janitor he begins
to let his suspicion loose.
"He thinks, of course. that the janitor
Is predatory by nature. Maybe he Is
right. but I believe the law holds all
persons innocent until they are proved
guilty. and 1t would he pretty hard
thing to do to prove u janitor guilty.
Anyway. the man Of the fiat gets ner.
vous. He has received so many keys.
What is to prevent the janitor from
having kept n duplicate key of the
apartment? Nothing at all. II would
be the easiest thing in the world for the
janitor to hold out, turning over all the
keys but one and making use of that
to enter the fiat whenever he saw "a
good opportunity In the absence Of the
family.
That's the way the householder fig.
ures the case out to himself Then he
comes around to some locksmth In the
neighborhood and gives one excuse
after another to account for his wish
to have the lock changed on his from,
door. 1t doesn't make any difference
to a lOcksmith what the reason Is, so
long as he gets paid for the work he
does. but the 'fiattcrs' seem to think 1t
necessary to spin him fairy yarn.
Anyway. the matter ends by the lock.
smith going around to the fiat. taking a
squirt at the lock, marking place
where he can cut Off trlfie of the iron
SO that the key that belongs to II won't
work, and then altering the key so that
1t will fit the revised lock.
For this the charge Is very slight.
There Is only few minutes work to
the job. and q lOcksmith hasn't the
heart to make an Overcharge. you know.
Now. this Is much cheaper than having
the old lock taken Off and new one
put on, for then new keys would have
to be made, and good keys cost consid.
cradle You know. BY simply scraplng
a piece of the lock at certain point
and scraplng corresponding piece of
the key. the 'natter' gets practically n
new protection. and the janltOr doesn't
stand n chance Of paying him a visit
without ringing the bell and being regu.
