The game Of billiards appears to be one
in which old mon may have, their tri-
umphs as we'll as the young. The win
ners in the international billiard Eteurna-
ment are the oldest men in 1t: With I'M
impaired eyesight and unbroken nerves
the veterans outplayed their younger
competitors and accomplished the marvel
of not only showing the youths how to
play the game, but in improving on their
own performances. Possibly billiards will
be the refuge of those Of us who buck at
being Oslerized at 40.

HISTORY OF ANTARCTIC ExPLoR-
ATION.-Hugh R. Mill, Disc, LID, for
thirty years a student of south polar ex-
ploration, tho not an explorer, has put
into a book Of convenient compass the
story Of The Siege of the South Pole. DR..
Mills preparation for his work has not
only been thru much reading but thru
acquaintance with practically all of the
more recent explorers. He has, there
fore, gathered most Of his facts first
hand, and his opinions have no doubt
been Influenced in large degree by the
men who have carried on the siege of
which he writes. The book is strikingly
illustrated and contains many maps and
charts.

RESORT MANAGERS

SUMMER RATE DISCRIMINATION
rs KEENLY RESENTED.
Burlington Tries to Secure Even Ad-
justment, but only Gets Wisconsin
and Upper Michigan Points Classed
with Minnesota-East Michigan and
Colorado Resorts Enjoy Big Advan-
tage. *-~1 - : e.

Chicago, April 25.-Pleasure resorts
along the east shore of Lake Michigan
have a great advantage over similar
places IN Wisconsin, the upper PENN
sula of Michigan, and Minnesota. as
result Of the action today of the West
ern Passenger association. This adj
vantage lies in the fact that the east
shore places have a rate Of one fare
plus So for the round trip from all ter
rltory south and east of Chicago, while
the other resorts have rate equivalent
to 80 per cent of the round-trip fare.
This unfortunate condition resulted
from the attempt Of the Burlington Off
Gals to protect the lake resorts of Min
nesota that are now protesting against
the discrimination against them. In
stead Of obtaining as low a rate as was
desired for the Minnesota points, the
road succeeded in getting the rates to
the Wisconsin and upper peninsular
places raised to parity with the Min
nesota rates.
Burlington Is Surprised.
The Burlington officials, at a recent
meeting of the passenger association,
offered to the Chicago connections a
basing rate of one fare plus So for Min
nesota. lake resorts. The proposition
met with objections from the other Chi
cago-M Minneapolis lines, and as a last
resort the Burlington agreed to- accept
rate equivalent to 80 per cent of the
round-trlp fare for Minnesota resorts, if
the same rate were made to Wisconsin
and upper peninsular resorts.
Much to the surprise of the Burling-
ton officials, who had made the offer
simply to show the reasonableness of its
demands, the proposal was accepted bv
the roads reaching these places. These
lines agree to make the higher fare the
baslng rate for all business originating
east and south Of Chicago.
East Shore People Glad.
The railroad officials were comcli-
mentlng themselves upon succesSul
adjustment of the annoying question.
and Were greatly delighted with the set,
tiement when someone suggested that
the rates to east shore points in Michi-
gan still remain at the old basis of one
fare plus So. When this becomes
known storm Of protests will be
raised by the Wisconsin and upper pen
1nsula resorts, tho managers Of which
are not able to compete with the other
places when SO greatly handicapped bv
rates.
While the managers of Minnesota
lake resorts are better pleased with the
present adjustment of rates they are
still unsatlsfied. They say that while
they are given rate of one fare plus
sou, Colorado points enjoy rate of
one fare plus 80 cents.

Statistics compiled by the department of com merce and labor through it's bureau of statistics show that imports from Brit ish Australasia have grown from four and two-thirds million dollars in 1895 10 twelve million in 1905. and exports thereto in the same period from nine million to twenty-siX million. For nine months of the present fiscal year the exports are about two millions in excess of the same months of last year.
 The term British Australasia as used, includes Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand and the Fiji islands, but the commerce included under the term $ chiefly that of Australia and New Zealand. Australia has an area of practically three million square miles, pr but little less than that of the United States, and it's population ap- DrOXimates five million, or slightly in excess of that of our country at the beginning of our national existence.

 Agriculture and stock raising are the most important industries though the mining of gold and copper has as- sumed considerable proportions. The value of the principal crops aggregat- ed in 1900 about 125 million dollars, wheat being credited with thirty one millions, hay thirty millions. potatoes six millions and corn nearly six mill lions of dollars Wheat wool and meats are the chief products. While certain sections of Australia do not produce wheat, the production of other sections and of New Zealand is suffi- cient to supply all domestic demands and leave a considerable surplus for exportation. Australasia is the larg- est wool producer of the world her production in 1900. according to the reports of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, being 510 million pounds. against 37O millions for Ar gentna, 361 millions for Russia, 290 millions for the United States, 140 mil lions for the United Kingdom, 1O4 mil lions for France, 103 millions for Spain, 100 millions for the British South African colonies. and 96 millions for Uruguay. The latest available statement of live stock in Australasia reports sheep, 94 millions; cattle Il millions; horses , millions, and swine. million. This brief analysis offers an explanation of the relatively small value of agricultural products export ed to that section of the world and suggests that its importance to Ameri- can producers rests largely, for the present at least. in it's value as a mar ket for manufactured products and as a source of supply for certain manu- lecturers materials not produced in the United States in sufficient quanti- ties to meet local requirements.
 The imports into the United States from Australian commonwealths are chiefly raw wool. coal. gums, Unmanu- factured fibers, hides and skins, furs and fuE skins, sausage castings and block tin; these eight articles supply ing fully 90 per cent of our total inn ports from Australasia. ImpOrtations
