AUSTRALIA TODAY.
Two-thirds of It Desert Yet Produc-
tiveness Is Enormous.

Australia is nearly flve-sxths the
area of the United States, containing
2973,OO0 square miles against the 3,6O2,-
900 square miles of our country. But
while in extent Australia stands as 90
is to 36, in population she is only as 4
to 10. OF her 100000 Inhabitants only
100000 are aborigines, whose number
has been steadily declining not because
of hostility on the part of the settlers,
but as if by inherent degeneracy in the
face of the new conditions. Moreover,
there are 1000 Chinese and half-caste
Chinese: and in recent years restrictive
measures have been adopted to pre-
vent the ingress of Hindoos and other
Asiatic immigrants. The bulk of her
people, of course. are colonists from
England,
Two-thirds of the Australian conti-
nent is u desert, and yet her produce
tiveness is enormous. This land con-
tains over one hundred million sheep
between thirty and thirty-five million
head of cattle and horses. 1t has given
to the commerce of the world over
G400.000, 600 in gold. copper, coal and
tin. The two provinces of Ballarat and
Bendigo alone have produced E1O0.-
100000, and as much more has come
from the great Tambaroora and Lam
bling Flat in New South Wales. Ii
sends to England annually over Gao
100000 worth of metals, grains, wool,
beef, tallow, hides and mutton.
Considerthe sheep alone: Forty years
ago the output of wool amounted 10
100000 pounds. Now. with a record
of I00,O00,000 pounds, Australia fur
nlshes one-fourth of the worlds wool,
and of such quality as to make it
one-third of the total value. 1t is re-
corded that the early colonists used
to kill their sheep simply for the fleece
and tallow. leaving the meat for the
dogs. Later they began to exuorL can

bring out in the dark ROOM" said
man who has photographed rustics for
many years, relates Lippincott's Maga-
zine. 81 recollecs one Fourth of July
that a young farmer and his sweet
heart came to me to have some tin
types taken together. | posed them
on a fight of stairs with balustrade
between them. When l came from my
dark room after developing the plate,
the young fellow stepped up to me and
said: Say, couldn't ye take that over
again?'
"'Why, what's the matter? 1 asked
in surprise.
"'We amt goin' to like that picture
bit,' he answered, evasively.
"'But, why not?' persisted
"'Wal,' he blurted out, blushing to
the roots of his hair, she's too DANCED
fur Off He refused to pay so cents
for new sitting so at last they bore
away the tintypes as they were. But
the next day he came back to my gal
lery very wrathful. 'Sa-a-y,' he fairly
shouted when he saw me, take that
burned girl off this picture. I'm mad
with her.
"Often when l have my head under
the cloth to get the focus, loving
couples, confident that / cannot posi-
bly, see them, take advantage of the
moment to kiss each other fervidly,
but with great silence. | remember,
too, coming out of my dark room one
time to find a rustic with one of my
bottles pouring a thick, dark, liquid
into the hollow of his, hand. Il guess
you don't mind if | use little of your
hair ile,' he said, and promptly rubbed
the stuff into his hair. 1t was var
nish for negatives, made to dry and
harden very rapidly, and before /
could get that picture taken, hurrying
feverishly, he had to go out and get
his head shaved. 1t is hard to believe
how green people can really be in
this age and generation until man
drives a tintype studio on wheels
through the rural districts of our fair
land"
