land is regarded as a standing temptation
to the swarming millions of China and
Japan. In the recent election campaign
there was much talk of this danger
Some speakers said that Japan could Of
fectively occupy the region with her
troops before the people of Australia
could obtain news that they had landed.
Unless a railway could be built either
from the Queensland end or from South
Australia the commonwealth could not
hope to hold the territory, FOR japan was
all powerful on the sea.
These reasons and the fierce hostility or
the Australian workmen to the competi-
ton of cooie labor have undoubtedly in
duced the government to carry out an
agreement made Professionally In 1907 and
take over the northern territory.

Question Of Ownership Of Wind-De-
sign of Movable Dome.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
Windmills are said to have been intro
duced into England by the knights of
St. John, who observed them in use
among the Saracens in the crusades, but
how long they had been in existence be-
fore this it is not possible to ascertain.
A watermill was built In Bohemia in the
year It's. for an old chronicler mentions
it, going on to say that before that
time all the mills in Bohemia were wind
mills set upon the summit OF hills
Windmil1s became SO common through
out Europe in the thirteenth century that
the Pope compelled them to pay tithes
to the church, and landed proprfetors and
the clergy were forever quarreling as
to the ownership OF the wind! In Zee
land a certain abbot built a mill to grind
Of his landlord. who said that he was
the owner OF the wind on his property
and no one else, had the right to make
use Of It.
The. Bishop Of Utrecht was appointed
arbitrator. and he when told Of the mat
ter new into a rage, declaring that what
wind there was in his diocese belonged
to himself and the church, and he pro-
ceeded to prove his contention by at once
granting the abbot full power to build a
windmill when and where he chose.
For hundreds OF years Windmills were
among the most important adjuncts Of
industry, yet they hardly changed from
the rude and promitive design of earliest
days. They were fixed in one position,
and so could only be worked when the
wind blew from a certain quarter; while
the four sails boosted no Stats or check
ing apparatus Of any kind, which must
have been most inconvenient at times.
The first idea Of arranging a mill so
that 1t could be worked "whene'er the
wind did blow was that Of lettering an
ordinary mill in the middle of pond
by means OF ropes. When the wind
shifted the ropes we're loosed and the
mill dragged around until the sails were
caught by the wind. and 1t was then
again tethered as before
Later on a great pole. which was
worked on the principle of turntable,
was affixed to the mill. Not until 1900
did Holland, the land OF windmills, in
troduce a movable dome carrying the
sail axle. The dome ran on rollers and
was shifted around by means Of the pole
mentioned above. These ancient mills
were often OF massive build, being made
of brick or stone, and later entirely of
wood

AUSTRALIANS GREAT RAILWAY.
Transcontinental Line to Be Built
Partly Through Fear of japanese.

From the Toronto Globe.
" Canada Is not the only one of the Brit
ish overseas nations that is making his
tory. The commonwealth beneath the
southern cross justifies her proud motto,
Advance Australia by undertaking the
construction Of a transcontinental line to
connect the settled portions Of South
Australia with the northern territory. An
drew Fisher, the quiet, unassuming Scot
who heaus the labor ministry, has an
nounced the intention Of the federal gov
eminent to hold and develop the terri
tory. AS first step toward this the gov
eminent will build railway from the
nOrtherly end Gf the State Railway of
South Australia, some 500 miles north of
Adelaide, to Port Darwin on the north
coast. The est mated cost of the railway
is So, 100000. The distance to be trav-
ersed makes IL evident that the railway
will not be OF the highest grade. but will
be rather In the nature of a light coloni-
cation and exploratory line.
The construction of the railway IS due
to national sentiment rather than the re-
quirements OF trade. although in the end
IT Is hoped that there will be an impor-
tant interchange OF products between the
north and the south when .ne northern
territory is developed. At the moment,
however. Mr.. Fisher and his colleagues
have their eye not so much on the de-
