banquet in the Hawaiian islands.
Australia flOcks by itself in the
southwest corner Of the globe. at a
tremendous distance from anywhere

Rain and gold are the only features Of
Australia which are common TO other
lands. It is so strange a country that
two centuries elapsed after its discov-
cry before anyone got up nerve enough
to begin its exploration. and there are
still large blank spots on the map
where the hardy discoverer can perish
more easily and at less expense than he
could around the poles
