Australian Chemist Gives Reason for
His eeIief-He Makes Discoveries
That Prove of Value to Guilt
vators of Land.

Sydney, n S. W.-One of the most
remarkable features of Australian ge-
ography is the presence Of vast un-
foreground seas which cover enor-
nous areas in Queensland and New
South Wales, the smaller ones in Vic
tpria, and along the extreme western
coast. The problems connected with
their origin, constitution and distribu-
ton are among the most interesting
known to science. while there seems
some ground for the claim that our
great artesian system, with all its
mineral contents, promises to be OF
more value to Australia than all her
other mineral resources combined.
r. Symmonds, a chemist attached to
the public works department OF New
South Wales, who has made this sub
ject his own, has just had book pub
lished by the department which is
full Of original research and startling
conclusions and in which he deals ex-
haustively with the whole question
from every point of view. He diff
fers entirely from the recent inter
state conference on artesian waters.
which unhesitatingly pronounced In
favor of the meteoric origin OF the
water, |. e., that Is, that the rainfall
has percolated the porous beds under
the influence of hydraulic conditions.
The diminished flow in many of the
wells, which has been so frequently
noted Of late. was attributed by the
conference to the continual draining
been put down in much greater num-
Der of late years, and. therefore. they
recommended that some of them
should be closed down.
On the other hand, Mr.. Symnonds
holds that the supply is plutonic. or
in other words, that it comes from
the molten lavas in the interior of the
earth. 1t appears that when a crys-
talline rock like granite is heated to
redness In vacuo enormous volumes
of gas and vapor are given off, which
accounts for a great deal of volcanic
action, for the presence of the large
amount of gas found in artesian wa
ter. and apparently for much of the
water itself The fact that there is
very little common salt and other
chlorine compounds in the artesian
waters at the lower levels, the amount
diminishing with the depth, is regard
ed as strongly supporting the plutonic
origin, as, II it were meteoric, the wa
ter would absorb mere instead Of
less salt in its passage through
the soil.
Several other facts are adduced In
support Of the conclusion that the ar
tesian waters have been expelled in
state of vapor from molten masses
Of rock In the interior Of the earth.
such as the high temperatures OF
much of the deeper water, the large
quantities of gas imprisoned therein,
the ascent Of the water. which is so

with the bores, being attributed by
Mr.. Symmonds to the presence of the
gas and its expansive force

AUTO HORN FOR BURGLAR
Al ADM
ALARM

One-of the Surest and best sorts OF
burglar alarms can be fashioned in
the home with no other appliances
than high powered, well-equipped
automobile.
This simple device is recommended
by a Chicago motorist who tried it
with the best sort of success, There
are a lot of people who might have
difficulty in procuring the automo-
bile, but those who have one
can try it.
There are few people who are
greater sufferers from petty thievery
than motorists who. keep their cars
in private garages. There are so
many little expensive things about
an auto that are easily detached that
they seem to attract thieves and as
a result the garage set away off from
the house becomes favorite place
for the light fingered fraternity to ply
their trade.
The Chicago man who invented
this preventive suffered in silence for
long time and then he provided a
safe and sure relies by simply con-
Meeting his electric motor horn and
headlights with the garage doors just
as an ordinary burglar alarm is con-
nected.
The result was that when Mr.. Bur-
glar opened the doors the headlights
flashed out and the horn started a
rasping, deafening roar that con-
tinued until someone came from the
house and closed the doors again.
The noise was so sudden and so
startling that the first burglar who
started it was frightened off imme-
diately and it was so loud and con-
tinuous that it aroused the entire
neighborhood.
