The Australian .SsOfndIer.

The victims OF a great gold mining
speculation in Australia have taken it
into their heads that they can get
some of the money back. 1t appears
that the promoters sold shares TO the
amount of $350,O00,0OO in the aggre-
gate to people in Australia and Eu-
rope, whose haste to get rich made
them too credulous. Now these peo-
pie, or some of them. hope to find
part Of their lost cash through an in
vestigation by the parliament Of the
new Australian federation. They ad-
nit that s7O,OO0,00O used in develop
ment" is gone beyond recovery and
that the market value Of the $780,
100000 in stock for which they paid
more than par is $50, 100000. They
are out for the remaining S250.000,00
alleging that the promoters got the
money from them by false representa-
tions. From this we learn that they
are still credulous. All they can get
back from the swindling promoters
will not help them much. Possibly,
however, if they do not hunt with a
brass band they may have the salts

Cutting Down the Army.

The initial step has been taken by
the War department toward the reduc-
ton of the force of regulars in the
Philippines to 10000. Orders were ca
bled General Macarthur to send to the
United States the Fourteenth. Eigh-
teenth and Twenty-third regiments of
infantry, Fourth cavalry, Twenty

Thirty-third companies of coast artil-

Twelfth and Thirteenth batteries of
field artillery. The homeward move
ment of these troops can not be begun
until after the volunteers have been re-
turned At present it is believed that
10000 men will be enough for the Phil
ippines. The manner in which the
troops shall be distributed among the
different arms Of the service is as fol-
lows: Cavalry, 1880 men; artillery,

Electricity at Long Range.

The street cars in Oakland, Cal, are
now operated with electricity from the
Yuba river, 40 miles distant. The wa
ter power, having been converted into
electricity, is carried on wires six
tenths of an inch in diameter, made
of an alloy of copper and aluminium.
The electrical pressure is 10000 volts,
and the loss in transmission is said
to per cent. This is by far the long
est electrical transmission system for
power purposes in existence, and if the
loss is as small as it is stated to be,
it is the most promising indication OF
the possibilities of long-distance trans
mission yet furnished. Something
like six years ago" says the Railway
Engineering Review, "a test of cleo
trio transmission over a line between
Frankfort and Lauffen, in Germany,
a distance of 10 miles, was made for
experimental purposes, but not until
the test of the plant above referred to
has transmission for commercial pur-
poses over a line of such great length

Literary Lights Go Our.

There is writing without end in
these days, but two deaths which have
Just occurred in England suggest that
literary fame was never less a question
of literary quality or more unstable
than 1t is now. Walter BeSant's liter
airy reputation rests principally upon
O single novel of sociological import
which fell in nicely with a movement
of the times. The author enjoyed great
popularity after it's publication, but he
was not a great writer and some of
his later work has certainly been Of a
commonplace kind.
Robert Buchanan, who had a much
smaller audience, was virile poet,
novelist and publicist, and was in some
respects a very brilliant writer. But
his attitude was so commonly harshly
critical and rcsentful that he lived
without the sympathy Of contempor-
ary authors, who found 1t convenient
to speak slightingly Of his self-asser-
ton and his prejudices. His recent
contribution to one OF the reviews, en-
titled 1.-THE Voice Of the Hooligan," Is
an excellent example Of his oontrover-
sial STYLE" 1t is a fierce arraignmsnt

Keeping Flowers Fresh.

Cut flowers, though universally en-
ployed, are seldom treated as they
ought to be. so here are a few hints
for those who like to keep their bios
SONS fresh as long as possible.
First Of all, they should be put into
some large receptacle and sprinkled
freely with water all over. Only after
this preliminary operation it is wise to
transfer them to the several pots they
are to occupy. They ought to be taken
out every morning, sprinkled as on
the first day, the tip of the stem then
being cut off. and fresh water, flow
ing from tap. should be allowed to
run over the stalks, holding the flow
ers head downward, says the Philadel-
phia Press

secret of success, the water in the

Five Talents.

The last man to go for a helping
hand for any new undertaking is the
man who has plenty of time on his
hands. 1t is the man and woman who
are doing most who are always willing
TO do little more.
The people who are tired of life are
not those who work. but those who
are too proud or too lazy to do so.
Many of the rich are morbidly rest
less, while those who have to earn
their daily bread are comparatively
contented and happy. The Bible says
that 1.-The sleep of a laboring man is
sweet. whether he eat little or much"
(Eccl. v. 12) and the busy worker has
health and blessing which the listless
idler never knows.-Selected.
