British change of heart--a change, sat least,
in important quarters upon the proposal to
participate in the San Francisco exposition in
1915, is fereshadowed in the following from the
London Times

shouses OF commons, weadescribed it as an error

steps to obtain reconsideration by the govern

such a course, since in the base Of the St Louis

Over a very large area of Australia
and especially where the rainfall is
light. it is possible to tap an apparent
ly inexhaustihle supply of artesian
water by boring, In this way much
has been added to the value of large
tracts of country, both for stock
breeding and general productive pur-
poses. Late developments indicate
that the artesian area is even great
er than was at first supposed. For
some time the South Australian gov
eminent has been boring for water
on the southern limits of the artesian
basin in the neighborhood of Lake
Frome, and last month a supply of
good quality water was tapped, equal
to $50, 900 gallons a day.

The fact that the whale is disap-

head of the Paris natural history mu-

soon be lost on account of the very
active hunting being carried on at

gian companies are engaged in this
work off the western coast of Africa,
and on the eastern coast in the Mo-
zamhique region. The danger is as
great from English enterprises. This
account of the future extinction of the
whale led the academy to pass reso-
lutions recommending the interest Of
