he ought to have had something bet

AUSTRALIAN MECHANICS.
"COrnstalks,. 'Gum-Suckers" and
"CrOw-Eaters" Are Some Of the
Pet Applications.

Although the Australian colonies
have now been linked together in
commonwealth, it is not probable that
the nickname bestowed by one prov
ince on another will be abandoned,
says the Leisure Hour. The inhabitants
of New South Wales have long been
known as "cornstalks," an allusion to
the length and slimness of the aver
age young New South Wales native.
Victorians are known as "gum-suck-
ers," with reference to the gum that
is found on many native trees, some
of which is relished by juveniles.
'Crow-eaters,' as applied to the south
Australians, owes its origin to state
ment that in times of drought the
wheat farmers of south Australia are
driven to the source suggested for
food. "Wheatfielders" is more eu-
phonious name sometimes used for the
same province. The Queenslanders are
known as "banana landers," that trop-
ical fruit growing there abundantly.
Western Australians-or, as they are
now generally called, Westralians-
are known in the east as sand CROP
ers" or "gropers." The Westralians
themselves group all the other states
into "t'other side" and call the resi-
dents "t'other siders." Tasmania
green little isle that is like England in
climate and other characteristics, is
generally regarded as very quiet and
rather behind the times, and is re-
ferred to as "the land of lots Of
time" the "land of sleep a lot"
and so on, while the inhabitants are
called "Tassies' and "jam-eaters," the
latter being an allusion to the great
fruit production of the tight little
island"

WASTE OF GOLD IS HEAVY.
Loss and Wear of the Precious Metal
Amounts to Million Dol
lars Year.

It is fortunate for the world that
new gold mines are being developed
at rapid rate; otherwise there would
soon be a famine in the precious met
al. The loss by the wear of gold coins
is in itself of much consequence. A
competent statistician estimates it at
1hs per cent. of the total amount in
circulation, or $37,5O0,00O for gold and
silver combined. On this basis it may
be calculated that the annual loss
which actually takes place in gold
alone by wear and tear is about $20,-
100000. Gold is lost in many other
ways, vast quantities are boarded les
pecially in foreign countries), and a
large proportion of this is subsequent
ly lost, as shown by the quantity of
treasure trove which comes to the
surface every year, though it probably
represents but a small part of that
which has been concealed. Every ship
which founders at sea takes certain
amount of gold with it, which may
amount anywhere from few dollars
to millions, II it happens to be laden
with the precious metal. The amount
of gold required annually in the arts
is estimated at $50, 1000, 900, and, as this
calculation was made few years ago,
when the annual production was about
sl20,OOO,0Oo, II follows that the amount
used in this way is about double that
which is used a. currency.

A ROMANTIC eNoLIsHMAN
OF Edwin ArnelA's Life In the Flows,
KiAgden.

OF Edwin Arnela's Life In the Flowsfy
Kiagden.
Sir Edwin Arnold. who legalized bis
union with . fascinating japanese
widow by an English marriage service
was always cosmopolitan In his ideas.
Surely no Englishman born and bred
has ever succeeded In merging bis own
individuality into that Of other peo-
pies q the author Of THE Light Of
ASIA" and THE Light Of the World"
has done. When be was In India In
his young days his work showed his
intense sympathy with the Buddhists,
and in the preface to THE Light OF
Asia" he wrote; This book was writ
ten by one who loved India and the
Indian people"
For two score Of years he was Eng
lish to the core Of his heart in the ed
itorials he wrote for the London Tele-
graph, and in 1890 he came to Amer
lea, seemed quite able to understand us
las few of his countrymen could do).
and then he went on to Japan and i'm
mediately began to live la Japonais.
He lived in a native house, left his
shoes at his door, slept on thick quilt
and, they say, ate In true japanese
style, In his bed room he had a cheap
European washstand, two japanese
chests of drawers of white wood and
black ironwork, and the usual sliding
cupboards, into which his bed was put
when it was rolled up in the daytime.
The walls of the room were of tissue
paper panels powdered with silver
maple leaves and clear glass belt ran
around the room "at a height incon-
ducive to propriety," as one correspon-
dent of the day remarked.
The drawing room was glass-paneled
from floor to ceiling, and the only
thing in the whole house that limited
at other civilizations was an Ameri-
can stove, which stood In one OF the
corners.
With such surroundings It Is not
much wonder that the impressionable
poet found himself going through the
ceremony Of tea drinking with his
charming companion Of the hour. and
that he was content to accept the cere-
mony as a bona fde marriage Is trib-
ute to his kinship with genius that
since the world began has ever faunt-
ed little the staid laws and regula-
lions that ordinary folk find necessary
to comfortable existence.
It was in Japan, by the way, that Sir
Edwin began THE Light Of the
World" and, indeed, completed 1t, too,
during his stay of several years.
He says himself that he was In q
tea garden one night surrounded by
music, flowers, handsome dressing and
all the delicate luxuries which Japan
knows so well how to combine, when
suddenly he began to write. So abb
sorbed was he that he was unconscious
Of his companion until one said. BE
quiet, Dana Sauna is writing" and
then he found he had put on paper the
first lines of his beautiful lyric:
Peace beginning to be
Deep as the sleep OF the sea
When the stars their radiance glass
In Its blue tranquility.

GLASSES FOR AUTOMOBILES
Kind Vsed to Protect thc Drivers
Face when Going Mt
High Speed.

To the various sorts of glasses de-
signed for drivers use have now been
added automobile glasses, especially
designed for the use Of the automobile
driver. These are not worn in the city,
where, with the restrictions on the
speed of automobiles, they are not
needed; but they are worn in the colln-
try, where the automobilist I'M
shackles the machine and let's 1t 60 at
40 or SO miles an hour, more or less.
Going at that speed his eyes need pro-
lection; and this is afforded by the
automobile glasses, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
These glasses are spectacles fitted
with very large shell-shaped or con-
vexed glasses, the size and the shape
giving a large field of vision. Attached
to the frame is a mask that projects
high enough above the glasses to cover
the forehead Of the wearer, up under
the peak of the cap, and that extends
below the glasses and out at the sides
along the spectacle bows, sufficiently
to cover the entire face, front and
sides.
For winter wear, when some
warmth in it would be desirable, the
mask Is made of suede leather, lined
with silk; for summer use these
glasses are made with the mask OF
unlined silk, either of the gray suede
color or of black.
Automobile glasses are French no.
ton, and originally all those sold here
were imported from France. Now
they are made here. Lots of them
are sold. They cost, according to the
material the mask is made of, from
$3.50 to IS pair.
