Eencino a Continent.

The state of South Australia has
since 1891 erected 30, l4S miles Of ''ver-
min fences" enough to encircle the
globe and with the remnant build q
double line fence along the southern
border of the United States. When
contracts now running are completed
the mileage will be much increased.
New South Wales has expended over
ST. 100000 for rabbit determination
and has within its borders $4,000 miles

fences extends entirely across the con
tineIIt. OF late gears the rabbit has
been repaying IN part for his keep

try roads rabbits may be seen hung on
fences awaiting the passage of the rab-
bit carts. which convey them to the
packing houses to be prepared for ship
ment as frozen meat and hides. Prac-
tically all are exported. The Austria

Fireworks Oh Independence day are
denied the children and grown folks
Of Alaska for the simple reason that
the July nights are almost as light as
the days, and 1t does not pay to at
tempt pyrotechnic displays If there Is
no darkness to show them off by con-
trast. Consequently it has become the
custom in many Alaskan cities, includ-
