ed in Lecture.

Australia's wild northwest, region
almost as little known to Australians

stralia as Oregon was to the Puri-
taps. was described last evening in
an illustrated address by NJ. p
Adams, which opened the 1928 lee
ture series of the National Geo
graphic Society at the New Masonic
Temple.
This is Australia's tropical coun-
try, where the temperature often
reaches 1853 degrees. Huge tides
sweep the shores, some of them
crabs swarm on the beaches. and the
waters are filled with strange crea-
lures, including tremendous turtles
ana ungatnly seacows. who suckle
their young. So unusual is the flora
and fauna that the first explorers Of
the region forty years ago. who de-
scribed their experiences on reaching
London. were looked upon as pic
turesQue liars.
Stories Arc ParalleIed.
Their odd tales Of men riding on
huge turtles. both on shore and in
the sea. were paralleled last evening
by motion pictures. The northwest
region comprises territory OF about
100000 square miles, in which not
more than 1000 white people live,
the speaker declared. Several times
as many black aborigines are in the
country.
Many Of these men. some OF whom are
seven feet in height. are wild and con-
stitute a danger to settlers. One mis-
sion station has suffered seriously from
the depredations of both wild men and
wild dogs. The country. though, accord
ing to Mr.. Adams. is destined to be a
great live stock producing region, espe-
cially the region inland. Already hun
dreds Of thousands of cattle are shipped
from two of the ports and the herds are
being enlarged. Goats. too, are thriving
In the region just as sheep thrive in the
better known parts Of the continent.
The inland cattle stations are supplied
by camel trains.

The pearling industry is the greatest

japanese and Malayan divers bring I'D
both pearls and the shell which supplies
three ee-fourths of the worlds mother-of-
pearl.

that in accordance with the country's 8
