OF Australia has brought sheep raisers to such
straits that scores of thousands Of sheep said

Would that IL were possible to supply Australia
with some of superfluous water. and to receive
in return some hundreds of thousands OF her

The following letter. signed "Frontersman.' Is
published In The Philadelphia Ledger" and We
give it for what it is worth a suggestion toward
mitigating the rgors OF the coming winter: our
pioneer forefatheTs, when out Indian hunt
or when out Indian hunt in cold
weather had very ingenious plan Of making a
comfortable night of it, follows: The hunter
would with his hunting knife dig 4 hole in the
ground about large a family coffee pot In
this he would build a little fire OF pieces Of dry
bark and little dry sticks. which make no smoke.
BY the time night came on there would be a bed OF
Goals and ashes. and he would squat on the ground
with leg each side OF the hole drawing his
blanket around him in such manner as 10 make
little tent. inside of which both his Body
and his furnace. a handful OF Goals aud
ashes would keep him comfortable all night. with
the weather at freezing point Now. this suggests
TO me that warming up might be had by putting
droplisht under a perforated bottom chair. using
a tin pot or pan prevent setting fire TO things,
drawing heavy blanket around ones shoulders so
that 1t would pass over the back of the chair and
reach the floor. Then draw another blanket over
the knees in such manner to retain the heat.
AS heat rises, all that would be made would risen
and be retained around the body"
