GIANT TREES OF AUSTRALIA
Exceed in Height, Though Not in Cir
conference, the Famous Grand
Conifers Of California.

In the book, "Under the Southern
Cross" written by Maturin NJ. Ballou,
an American traveller, in the sos of
the last century, we read Of his estl-
mate Of the great trees of Australia,
according to the Christian Science
Monitor.
1T is in this colony Of Australia that
the traveller finds the giant trees, con-
sidcred to be one of the great WON
ders Of our times, and which exceed
in dimensions those grand conifers Of
California in which Americans feel
such pride. These big trees of Victoria.
are called the mountain ash, though
why SO named we do not understand.
as they are not Of that family. But
they are certainly the tallest trees in
the known world, often measuring 400
feet and more in height, and from
fifty to sixty feet in girth q couple of
yards from the ground. When we say
that these trees exceed in dimensions
those Of California we refer especial
ly to their height inasmuch as the
American trees equal them, If they
do not in some instances surpass them
in circumference. The Australian
trees rise hundred feet more or less
from the roots without putting forth a
lateral branch. On beholding them
ono Is not at first impressed by their
exceptional size or monarchlike ap-
pearance, but they grow upon one by
further observation. A trip of hun
dred miles from Melbourne due east to
Sale--a remarkably pleasant town, of
between 5000 and 1000 inhabitants,
situated on the Gippsland railroad
takes one to the region where these
immense forest giants are to be seen,
and ut the same time introduces the
traveller to some Of the finest scenery

Venice Once Supreme City.

A few centuries ago Venice was the
gateway for the commerce Of all GEN.
trail Europe, particularly to and from
the Near East. It was here that the
merchants Of the earth congregated
and many money lenders piled their
vocation Of collecting usury.
The Rialto bridge, made famous by
Shakespeare's 'The Merchant Of
Venice" still stands. This structure
once afforded a meeting place for mer-
chant princes to discuss the business
of the world. In those days Venice
was among the most important of sea-
ports. Its harbOr was constantly alive
with merchant ships, as well as pas
senger vessels. 1t is still unique city,
In that its streets are chiefly water
ways or canals, but although still
city beautiful, and far famed for its
fine arts, its glory and Importance as
a commercial center have passed
away.

that have been allowed to decrease to

that have been allowed to decrease to
"a dangerous level. = ",.
One reason for optimism on the
part Of the lumber trade is the fact
that wholesale lumber prices have
been so> generally Debated: and this
action has been very largely follow
ed by retailers. In this connection
the: general public is not aware of
the significance or the real size Of a
reduction of 33 per cent in the sell
ing price of lumber. Actually such
Ia decrease puts lum Der back at the
price which prevailed before the SEN
satiOnal advances. For example: AS
stunning that before the sensational
advances q certain grade Of lumber
sold for $40 thousand feet and that
during the rapid advance in the mar
ket the price of this grade increased
so per cent or 500, making the SELL
ing price $50, wholesale. A reduction
CT 33 per cent is equal to $40, max
ing the selling price the same as be-
fore the increase. Thus, as one re-
taller put it, one-third equals one
half. -
