Prof: Baldwin Spencer, who holds the ¢hzir of biology in the University 9% Melbourne, returned lately from travels in North Australia, and. what most struck him was “the extraordi- nary emptiness and loneliness of that grest land.” In more than one-half miillion square thousand | white people, which allows 125 square miles for each. But only twenty-five hundred miles away, four days’ sail or 80, is Japan, with forty million peo- ple. It is a fact, he says, calculated “to make Australians thirk about the possibilities of the future.” And it is this, of course, which leads Australia to object to the proposal to make Gibraltar the base of its impe- rial fleet. - That would be nice for England, which has weakened its Mediterranean force, but from Gibral- tar ta Melbourne is nearly nine thou- sand miles. Nor does it suffice to say that no European navy is nearer; as one. Australian lately put it, “We are not afraid of any European navy.’— Springfield (Mass.) Republican. Charlemagne’s Talismanm.

On the north it will show a ! clump of mold or moss, On the south side of the evergreen trees gum will be hard and amber colored: On the north side this gum is softer, general- ly dustier, and is of a soiled gray hue. Hardwood trees—the oak, the ash, elms, hickories, mesquite, etc—have | moss and mold on the north. Leaves are smaller, tougher, lighted in color and with darker veins-on the south.. on the north they are longer, of dark- iar green and with ~lighter vefns. | Spiders build on the south side. In the south air plants will attach them- selves to the north side. Cedars bend their tips to the south. Sawed or cut stumps will afford one >f the compass points, inasmuch as ‘he concentric rings are thicker on the south side. The heart of the stump !s thus nearer to the: north side. These results are said to be due to the influence of the sun. Stones are bare on the south side, and if they show any moss at all it will be on the north. At best, on the sunny side ouly a thin covering of harsh, half-dry moss will be found. SATIRICAL STRAIN OF HUMOR Willlam Winter Wrote of Edwin Boothe’ Peculiarities, as He Had Oberved Them. When leaving a church in Boston after the funeral of the eminent essayist and critic, Edwin Percy Whipple— obsequies which he had attended in company with Lawrence Barrett, and at that friend’s suggestion, and during which he had been annoyed as well’ as amused by the convulsive facial contortions. of the officiating clergy- man—he remarked to.Barrett: “I knew Mr. Whipple, but’I never expected I should be so sorry to at- tend his funeral” ‘When a stage-struck lunatic named Mark Gray attempted to murder him in Chicago at a performance of “King Richard IL” (April 2, 1879, at Mec- Vicker's theater), firing at him twice with a pistol from a place in the sec- ond balcony, Booth calmly advanced to the front of the stage and, pointing at the madman, directed that he be seized, and then after a brief absence from the scene, to reassure his wife, composedly finished his performance. Later he caused one of the bullets to be extracted from a piece of scenery where it had lodged, and had it mount- ed as a charm for his watch chain, in- scribed: “To Edwin Booth from Mark Gray.” That sinister relic he custo- marily wore—William Winter in Col- lier's Weekly. ~ Just an Indian Story. Tourists visiting most cities of the Onited States are the objects of many quips and jests gotten off at their ex- pense by megaphone men accompany- ing sight-seeing autos. At times Booth’s humor was satirical. | ' The latter part of January a party | was being taken through one of the prettier streets: of Jacksonville, Fla. The street car tracks are in the center | of this thoroughfare and small parks .Ing places are between the car Hoes: and ‘the: drivewa: - In these parking plots are lmndredl of large palmettos. ‘These plants ‘are replaced by the city year by year as they die or become !njured in any manner. “Oh, the beautiful pnlml!” exclaim- ed a comely matron conl!derably un- det thirty. . -“I do wonder how they cnne here?” was the query propounded by another woman tourist. “Lady, those. palms- were planted there by the Indians over 200 years 8go,” said the spieler of the party. The women gasped with amazement, while the men members of the party suppressed their smiles. Watch in the Safety Vault, - A strong box, containing family rec. days ago to examine an old manu- script, relates the New York ‘Tribune. The box had not been disturbed for several years, and the women, who had taken it into a private room, were surprised when they removed an old- fashioned open-face watch from its resting place to héar it tick loudly. This to them was evidence that the box had been tampered with.” But everything was found intact and in keeping with the memorandum of contents, and they were much per plexed. because of the ticking watch, which ceased its activity before the box was returned to its place. A watchmaker who was consulted said that such “momentary life” in “dead” timepieces when disturbed was not un usual, —_—— Look to Truth tor Progress. Progress by precedent i8 like sailor steering his boat today by his course yesterday, or like a lost hunt- er guiding himself 'by his own foot- steps; the result being, in both cases, that the only progress is in a circle. The past has its use, which is mostly for warning. To get on humanity must not look to the past, not to the present, not to the future, but to truth, which is “the same yesterday, today and forever.” Good Form. Ellen is rounding out ‘her sixtjeth year, but she has never learned to read or write.
