0POSSUM FARMING.
Animals to Be Grown For Fur In vari
Gus Parts OF Australia.

Gus FartS OF Australia.
The director of the geological gar
dens at Sydney. Mr.. lie Souef. states
that since the first of the year some
important plans for opossum farming
have been projected in different parts
Of Australia
One farm exclusively for Opossums
has been started in Gippsland. Vic
toria. which comprises 1000 acres Of
eucalyptus bush land" Another farm
comprising 500 acres has been started
in southern Tasmania, and another Of
100 acres in New South Wales. The
chairman of the Sydney Stock Ex-
change has become much interested in
the possibility Of commercial breeding
Of opossums for their fur and expects
TO start q large farm for this purpose
near sydney. In Western Australia
there seems prospect Of company
being formed for the breeding OF opos-
sums on a stretch Of eucalyptus coun-
try comprising about 100000 acres.
Many Instances are also being re-
ported Of farmers in various parts Of
Australia taking up the breeding of
opossums as a special feature Of their
farms, in this way utilizing the tim
bered sections of their land which
would not have much value for any
other purpose. The advantage of
breeding opossums in wooded or scrub
by country not profitable TO clear is
apparently being recognized. and in
time II seems likely that the Austria
Han opossum. instead Of being hunted
and rapidly exterminated. will be care
fully bred on farms and become an i'm
portant commercial asset TO Australian
farmers.-Consular Report.

failed to reveal anything to show
that he intended to commit suicide.
The belief was being strengthened
hourly that he met with foul play late
Monday afternoon, after swimming
about for an hour and half in the

Up to noon the officials had found
no trace of his movements between 7

lieved he was seen swimming in the

brought out they will feel more GER
tain of the theory that he was knock
ed over and rolled into the river af-
ter donning a part of his clothes.
According TO this theory, he was
assaulted while dressing by one or
more tramps who frequent the local
ity and his body rolled down a rath-
err steep bank into the river. Then
his vest, containing his watch, chain,
spectacles and considerable sum Of
money, was removed, as were the
gold cuff links which are missing

that the lamp chimney must be re-

order to facilitate the lighting Of the

merely turning a thumb screw. An
