generating electricity which will be
stored in batteries and used at night
for lighting streets.

AUSTRALIANS GREAT READERS
BY Reason of the Various Sources
Supplying Material.

Australia is in a peculiar position
so far as her literature Is concerned
Owing to the fact that English is the
language spoken, the reading public
can obtain its supplies from three
quite independent and distant
sources-from Great Britain, from
the Ulited States, and from local
sources.
The result is that Australians are
the greatest readers on the face of
the globe. and New Zealanders are
even more so. Periodicals and other
publications are untaXed. and the
copyright laws are little understood
and less enforced, so that on a typi-
cal Australian book stall the most
cosmopolitan .conglomeration of lit
erature imaginable can be seen.
Australia, being SO far from the
rest of the English-speaIling world,
has to rely upon local effort for her
daily and weekly publications. In
this field Australians have shown
that they can bring out newspapers
which can bear a most favorable
comparison with similar publica-
tions either in Great Britain or
America. The same may be said of
the weeklies. 1t is in magazines
and books that the torrent of out
side literature has been too geat to
allow OF much local production.
The inhabitants of Australia num-
Der only 100000. Had these been
scattered over the huge continent,
almost as large as the United States,
no daily paper of any size could have
existed. 1t happens, however,-un-
fortunately, perhaps, for Australia
that more than one-quarter of the
people live in two large cities, and a
large portion of the remainder in
four or five large towns.
The daily paper, therefore, has al
most as large constituency as any
published for the teeming millions
OF America and Great Britain

views.
