LOST SOUTH SEAS CONTINENT.
Australian Professor Seeks Solution of
Ancient Mystery.

The lost continent of the South
seas is pet study Of DR.. Woolnough
of Sydney university. The main diff
Guilty in the way of reconciling exist
ing conditions with an original great
area was that depths of 1000 fathoms
occurred between the islands. 1t was
necessary to look for land evidence of
faulting or breaking to account for
the submarine depths. The granite
area in VIII Leva was found to be
from 400 to 600 square miles in ex-
tent, underlying the modern volcanic
rocks. A range Of granite mountains
with precipitous cliffs on each side
gave evidence of heavy faults Great
ing chasms of great depth. He found
the rivers forming marked rectangu-
lar network, an appraised coral reef
200 feet above the sea level, conglom-
crate rock showing sea shells at a
height of 300 feet above the sea, and
certain tits and tufts which had
formerly been submarine and were
now at a height Of $500 feet All
these indicated a tremendous uplift
sufficient to cause greater faulting in
the original continent. The rivers Of
Fiji were OF comparatively youthful
development, and even at present
passing through the canon cycle.

Fat Men and Jobs.

Employment agents say it's about as
hard to get work for a fat man as for
statements, employers of labor hold
that fat man is indolent. They as
sert that the hustler, the fast, nervous,
energetic worker, is sinewy rather
than fat, and does 80 per cent. more
work than the soft, fat fellow. 'It is
not uncommon for us to advise fat ap-
plicants to diet" said an employment
agent, 'and reduce their weight before
beginning to canvass for a job" So
far as recorded, DR.. Osler has ex-
pressed no opinion on the expediency
of chloroforming men who are running

Mr. True has compiled the results of

on account of the mild weather during
the past winter.
The secretary further notes that the
damage to spring sown grain has been
light. He says that more barley has
been sOwn this season than last, while
less oats have been planted. The high
price of clover seed has resulted in
smaller acreage being soWn, while rye
is about the same as last year. The acre
age of corn has increased, and the pOta-
to acreage is about tie same as last year.
Tho tobacco acreage Is decreased, and
