NEW ZEALAND'S GUM MINES.
Gathering . Harvest That Ripened
Ages and Ages Ago.

u Ages and Ages Ago.
Gum digging in New Zealand offers
one Of the most unusual and interest
ing forms Of labor. partly because of
the ease with which the work may be
carried on and partly because it is said
New Zealand is the only country where
gum digging is done.
Originally the gum which is now
brought to light came from the kauri
tree, which IL now scarce, but ages ago
great forests Of It probably covered
most of the northern part Of the
North island. These forests were swept
away by fire. and today the landscape
is mostly low brown hills with occa-
sional swamps. Gum burns very cas-
lily, but such as was covered by the
dank forest debris escaped the fire.
Hardened and preserved through un.
countable ages, this is the gum the
gum digger seeks today. BY paying 5
shillings year he may wander and
dig where he likes over enormous areas
Of government lands. All that is re-
quired is kind Of spear to locate the
gum, a spade to dig 1t and a bag to
put it in. At night it is scraped and
sorted, according to size and quality.

citement Of gambling without incur

yourself when you like. where you like
and how you like is delightful beyond

friends as you wish, or as few"

Lights of Mars.

1t is claimed that curious lights have
been seen on Mars and have been be
Iieved to be signal lights sent by the
Inhabitants Of that distant world. This
phenomenon can be easily explained
as follows: The prevailing color o.
Mars is opal. When seen by daylight
there is a mingling of this color with
q pearl white. a rose saffron, and a
robins egg blue. When the suns rays
stream along its surface at certain
angles flashes of curious light are pro-
duced that resemble somewhat the
color rays of fiashlight. These have.
doubtless. been mistaken by the curl
GUS for fashlight signals. They are
nothing new.-Chritsian Herald.
