falls in a great swath. 1t melts away
before the majestic advance of the
machine. On the other sides with the
same regularity drop sacks of grain
ready for the miller. The ranchman
following with his team picks up a
sack filled with threshed and win
moved wheat from the very spot
where but five minutes before the
wheat stalks stood in the sunshine.
In the broad path between the stand
ing grain and the line of brown sacks
has passed one of the greatest tri-
umphs of American machinery, the
combined harvester and thresher.
1t is the fashion when a famous
Judge or detective retires to give a
list of his more remarkable cases, says
the London Chronicle. Sir Hartley Will
liams, the retiring senior puisne judge
of Victoria, has been the subject of
such a retrospect. One of the first
cases he had to try was a very rare
offense understanding a steamship.
A couple of audacious scoundrels
named Henderson and Wallace stole a
steamer from the Clyde, disguised her
very skillfully and went on a pleas
ure cruise around the world. At Mel
bourne, where they posed as scions of
English nobility, and received much
social attention, the fraud was detect
ed. They were arrested, convicted and
sentenced to long terms of imprison-
ment Stealing a ship is like stealing
an elephant-a very Improbable form
of crime. The risks are enormous, and
it is so diff cult to get rid of the stolen
property or convert it into cash.

The federation at first declared be too much
in the nature of imposing fgurehead which sup

Strauss declares that it has already headed off at least
strikes. The only failure in the strike which
was of such nature that it bound be failure
any event.
The great number of attached to a local COM

less chance for conflict" says Mr.. Strauss.
The real purpose to organize best elements of
communities into local declarations the great central
