.AusfraIra.s Constitution.

Though Australia is still a British
possession Australian federation
should prove quite as interesting to
the people of this country as to the
people of the British Isles. For If the
latter have the interest of a closer Of
fetal connection the former should
have the interest OF political parentage
the Australian federal union being the
offspring of the American federal
union.
The House of Representatives in
Australia. which Is chosen like our
own, will have much greater power
than ours. 1t has no such check either
in the executive or in the senate. The
real executive will be a partisan min
istry of house leaders, so there will
be no vetoes. And though the senate,
which is chosen directly by the peo-
pie, like the house, may take the ini-
tiative with the legislation except in
the matter of revenue and taxation, 1t
may not even amend tax and revenue
bills. Furthermore whenever it Is
inclined to be obstructive a popular
assault will be made upon it under the
constitution. For If it fails to agree
with the House, and the latter in
sists on its own bills. and passes them
up again after three months, DISCO
luton may be forced, and If the sem
ate proves obstinate again it may be
compelled to vote in joint session.

who joins it believes in the elevation of the race in the ennobling of the human family through the medium of frater- nal association"
 He dwelt upon the seas of blood caus- ed by the hatred of nations, of the slum- bering fire always ready to be famed into white heat by the merest breath. He said the old hatred was dying out and the day is dawning when people will see that whatever the race and the name, the same God made us. and that all men are really brothers. He stated that the Foresters of America were do- ing their share in the grand fraternal work.
 What Forestry means to the home he said he would not attempt to depict, but would allow the wives and the mothers, the sisters and children of Forestry to relate. Forestry he said, had thousand other meanings, but he would only mention one. He said no man who has entered a court, who has taken the obligation, heard the coun- tersign and seen their banner, could doubt what that meaning is. It means that Forestry teaches patriotism. He said:
 There was born a nation which has opened its arms to the oppressed of the old world kings and bade them come and make their home here under the Stars and Stripes. (Applause.) Here shall grow up great nation of frater- nalists which shall surpass the world; that shall conquer, not by force of arms, but by the force of its example. In conclusion he said: "Let us go on- ward still, Let us combine this grand work. We shall not only make our or der nobler order, but we shall cause an influence upon this nation that shall make it the grandest nation that the sun has ever shone upon" Cloud and continued applause.)

A DISAPPEARING TOWN.

From Norwich, the center of the salt industry of Great Britain, 100000 tons
 of salt are shipped annually When the industry was started it was con
 sidered that only one stratum of salt
 existed, and that was only a few feet
 below the surface. Fresh water found | it's way to this extensive salt deposit,
 with the result that the salt dissolved
 like snow. A huge subterranean lake of water, charged with 26 per cent. of
 salt, was thus formed. Pumping en- zines were then installed to convey | this brine to the surface to large evap- orating pans, in which heavy deposit of salt was left after the water had | evapora-ed
 | The result of this xtensive pumping | is that Norwich now rests, as it were, upon shell of earth, which at times proves insufficient to support the weight of the houses, with the inevit- able consequence that the buildings are constantly sliding and collapsing in every direction.
 There is scarcely perpendicular
 wall to be seen; in numerous cases the
 doors and window frames of the houses are awry; the roads are extremely un- even, and are often closed, owing to
 the falling in of portions. Houses are
 being continually condemned as unsafe for human habitation and demolished. The depreciation of public property is enormous. No matter how substan- tially a house may be built. or how great. the care observed to obviate sub sidence, the building is bound to sink sooner or later. In one instance house that cost S30000 to erect was shortly afterward sold for $7500 it had been so injured by subsiding. In some cases the sinking is very gradual, while in others it is unexpected and instan- taneous.
 Yawning chasms are constantly ap- bearing in the streets and in some in- stances the cavities are so extensive as to necessitate the closing of the thor oughfare.
 The area In which these subsidences occur covers about two square miles. A few years ago the matter was brought before the attention of the British parliament, and the result of their investigation showed that dam age Hdu peeii llilliSlcu upoii o'@ puiiu ings, of which total 636 comprised houses and cottages. Some idea of the extent of the excavations in this area may be gathered from the fact that as a ton of salt represents one cubic yard, and 100000 ton sof salt are produced every year, therefore 100000 cubic yards of solid material underly- ing the town are removed annually
 notwithstanding the frequency of the subsidences and that they are of ten unexpected, strange to say not a single life has been lost Havoc has been wrought among cattle, however several animals having been completely | ngulfed.-Scientific American.

 Banquet
 Dr. Frank H. Wheeler, of New Ha- ven, during a speech at the banquet of the State Foresters of America at Bridgeport Wednesday night referred to David Dickinson, of Merden, in a complimentary manner and stated that the first grand treasurer was still in that position, and he hoped he would remain to guard the treasury for many years He spoke with feeling of his contact with members of the supreme court and those who had gone to the supreme court above. He was glad to see in place of the old war horses < lot of young colts, learning lessons which in the future shall reflect to the credit of themselves and the grand court.
 By far the most brilliant speech of the evening was given by Frank A. Hagerty, P. c. R., of Hartford. He gave vivid delineation of What Forestry Means" His choice of words was excellent, his similies grand and his delivery that of 'an orator. He frequently evoked applause, and his speech was remarked on by all who heard it as masterpiece of it's kiGd He said in pert:
