A Plateau In Papua.

The most singular plateau in the
world is in the island of Papua. The
plateau is 5000 feet above the sea,
and there are SUBMITS towering 5000
feet higher, but owing to the prOximi-
ty of the equator the great plain is
covered with luxuriant vegetation. The
climate is a perpetual May, birds sing
in every bush, and the only animals
are a few marsupials, such as ground
kangaroos and opossums. Yet this
lovely region is almost deserted. The
Papuans live in the sweltering coast
jungles and rarely visit the uplands

RECEIPTS SHOW DECREASE
Loss Held Due to Reduction in Parcel
Post Rates.

Postoffice receipts for the month of

the corresponding month of last year
by $1,267.1S The total receipts for
last month was $20,S2S.S0 and the
total for January. 1914, was $22,
095.9S. This decrease is due almost
entirely to the recent reduction in the
parcel post rates. The loss in foreign

certain extent during the month
but the difference caused by the war
is much less than one would be led to
