OCTOBER 11, 18983—TEN PAGES. KANGAROO LAND. An Exhibit That Shows the Re- sources of Australia. A PAR OFF CONTINENT, Of Which Comparatively Little is Known in This Country. THE GREAT WOOL INDUSTRY. Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, October 5, 1838. One of the greatest benefits to be de- rived from the world’s fair cones from the opportunity it affords to stuly those coun- tries that we hear least .bout. There are bungalows from Johore, a fine booth illus- trative of Liberia’s resources and life, @ ‘small but complete exhibit from Korea, cne from Guiana, and so on. But all of these are little countries, and the visitor may be pardoned if, in his ignorance, he hardly knows where they are to ve found on the map. Everybody, however, knows where Australia is, but how man: know very much about it? It ts to the average man a vast, indefinite idea. Fragments of infor- mation are lodged in most minds ahout bushmen, kangaroos, Botany bay and wool. Beyond that the average wan does not know, and yet he may have an idea, that such a large place must eventually become @ power in the world. There is no excuse for a visitor at the fair to yo away in ig- norance of this island, for it has one of the most complete educational exhibits of ail. It embraces, however, ali Australla only incidentally, for the only government of the island that made an appropriation for the fair is that of New South Wales. Let us start with the people that live there. ‘The Australian Aborigines. In the ethnological building in the ex- treme southern portion of the fair grounds re a number of large photographs of the aborigines of Australia. They are a black | Face, with bushy beards and shocks of hair. Some of them wear a nose ornament in the shape of an animal's tusk, which is thrust crosswise through the lower end of the nose. The result is a particulary ferocious appearance. This form uf :avuge ornamen- tation is characteristic of the inhabitants of New Guinea chiefly, and is not now met with in New South Wales. Even without the nose piece it is hard to conceive of an uglier fellow than the Australian aborigine, and yet he is represented as being compara- tively harmless. He ts jolly, too, and when seated about the fire in the evening he de- lights to laugh and tell jokes. There are pictures of the women a3 well as of the men. The former are simply hideous. An Australian native belle would not be apt to attract a white man, and she does not com- Pare favorably with our Indian squaws. As they grow older they become more repul- sive, for they lead a life hardly better than & dog’s. Indeed, the Australian dogs fre- quently fare better than the women, for the bushmen always have dogs with them and are often fond of thei. It is a mooted question among students of the aborigines of Australia whether they sre a very low form of humanity. There is, according to some, less difference betwzen a bushman and a fine horse than there is between bushman and a European. Others, how- ever, say the bushmen js not so black as he has been painted. There is a phcto- graph in the ethnological building of the curiously built stone fish-catches of the na- tives which demonstrates that they have considerable ingenuity. ‘There are in all Rot more than 7,000 aborigines in Australia, 30 they do not constitute 4 serious problem to the white settlers. ‘They are gradually suffering the inevitable lot that befalls the Savage when civilization overtakes him. He must go to the wall and make way for his superiors, and he toes it with the as- sistance of the vices that civilization teach- es him. Of whites there are 3,000,000 in Australia. The island is a little larger than the United States, and Ste peoeiation Je about a as ours was when we fought for ins id ence in 1776. New South Wales alone has a Population of 1,200,000. What they can do is shown in all the principal buildings at the fair. In the British section of the wo- man’s building is an alcove devoted exclu- sively to the work of the women of New South Wales. There is a case of Australia butterflies collected by a woman: there are silk stockings, hand-knitted; a of opossum tatls, made by a women—tncident- ally it may be remarked that the Austra- Man opossum differs from his American cousin in that he has a furry tail—paintings, books and newspapers, all the work of the women of Australia. They do not vote yet, but they have all the advantages from an industrial and educational point of view that are enjoyed by American women. It is in this section that several photographs are shown, among which is the one of the famous national Australian convention, which met at Sydney in March, 1891, and drafted @ constitution for the confederation of all Australia under one government. This assemblage had all the greatest talent of Australasia in it. The venerable Sir Henry Parkes was president. The various parlia- ments now have the proposed constitution to act upon. Should they agree to it, there would spring into being the greatest power of the Pacific. The question naturally arises. would such a power, with such a magnificent future of advancement before it, be long content to remain a dependency? The Australian colonies now have complete political autcnomy. They have an upper and a lower house. In New South Wales the members of the upper house are nomi- nated by the premier and hold office for life. The lower house holds office by popular election. The governor and commander-in- chief of the colony seiects the premier from the party in power, just as the queen does in England. When United Australasia is a fact, it will need little beyond the substitu- tion of an elected president for an ap- pointed governor general to be an inde- Pendent nation. With the addition of a clause or two the proposed constitution would do as well for an independent nation as a colony. ‘The Great Wool Industry. One of the most important of the Austra- lian exhibits is found.in the agricultural building. It shows the varieties of wool grown. There ts no part of the Island where this industry cannot be successfully carried on. It has increased by leaps and bounds. In New South Wales, where sheep raising has reached the highest degree of development, there were in 1871 16,000,000 sheep and in 1881 there were 36,000,000. Now there are more than 69,000,000. ‘The wool is Worth upwards of $55,000,000 a year. It is more for the benefit of foreign countries than the United States that the Australian wool is shown. for our importations are not extensive. Yet it is our market that Aus- tralians want, and business men will prob- ably call to mind that as long ago as 1878 the chambers of commerce of Australia and New Zealand addressed a memorial to the chambers of commerce and mercantile men of the United States asking for freer commercial relations than then existed. Since then New South Wales herself, has adopted a protective tariff. In the mining building there ts a large space devoted to the mineral products of New South Wales, and here the United States has shown herself to be a good neighbor, for she took 365.000 tons of Aus- tralian coal in 189. Along with the coal are some samples of the gold that comes from Australia. Most of it is from the Adelong mine and there is some from the lately discovered lodes at Peak Hill, as well as from other places. There is silver and lead and copper also. An interesting part of the Australian showing is to be found in the fine arts building, for the paintings are generally such as to bring before the visitor the scenes of Australia. Some of the paintings are shown by the Art Society of New South Wales. but a large number come from the National Art Gallery of New South Wales. The United States with all {ts wealth ha: no such thing as a national art gallery, yet New South Wales has had one for near- ly twenty years. It ts worthy of note, too, that the colonists keep it open to the pub- le in Sydney on Sundays as well as week days. There are a few creditable pieces of sculpture by Australian artists exhibited and in water color paintings the showing is extensive. The Fine Forestry Exhibit. Far away from the art building is that devoted to forestry, and New South Wales’ section is one of the best of all. There is, for example, a log of rosewood, of a deep rose color, scented naturally and perma- nently, @ sample of the curly yarran, also a fragrant wood of great beauty, of black oak, which is much scught after for cabi- net work, of red silky oak, or beefwood, from which walking canes and veneers are made, and of the beautiful yellow satin wood. There are, also, some blocks of spotted gum wood which is used as street pavements in the cities of New South Wales. The method of making the streets is especially interesting. First is a layer of stone; upon this comes cement, then the Square wooden blocks, and the whole is covered with tar and gravel. This pave- ment is preferred to the stone itself, be- cause it is not injurious to horses’ feet, and it is represented as lasting much longer than the wooden pavement used in this country, because it has a harder founda- A description of the Australian exhibit would not be complete if the splendid palms in the horticultural building were omitted. ‘They are among the most wonderful piants shown, and the fact that they are appreci- ated has been shown by their purchase re- gently for the famous conservatories at Pittsburg. The central point from which the affairs jof the exhibit of Australia are conducted is the Australian house, which stands near Victoria house over among the other build- ings of the foreign governments. It is a simple structure, and inside the walls are hung with pictures showing Australian life. One painting in particular brings before us some of the dangers that settlers used to incur. It represents a fair young girl walk- ing alone with heavy brush wood surround- ing the pathway. She has suddenly drawn buck, for several native spears have been hurled at her. ——~+e- 4 WHOPPER OF A WHALE. It Was Older Than Methuselah and Weighed Fifty-Seven Tons. ‘From the South Bend Herald. ‘The largest whale which ever entered this harbor, and one of the largest ever seen on this coast, washed ashore at Tokeland on Monday. The news was immediately brought back by one of the morning steam- ers, and the afternoon passenger boats were crowded to their utmost capacity by the throngs who were anxious to see the mon- ster. The steamer was just at the mouth of the river when some one, looking through a field glass, discovered the object of curiosity across the head of the bay six miles away. Immediately all eyes were turned that way, and, as the vessel neared the wharf, the fish began to loom up in all its corpulency of outline. The fish came in on the high tide, and lies just a little below Charles Fisher’s bath houses. It was alive and kicking, and did not finally surrender its lease on existence until Tuesday about noon. County Attorney M. D. Egbert had taken slong @ tape line and carefully measured the monster. ‘The line showed an extreme length of 174 feet 8 inches, with a “waist measurement” of 161 1-2 feet. County Surveyor L. C. Vick- ery figured on the weight of the ‘“‘animile” and pronounced this member of the Baloe- nidoea family to weigh fifty-seven and one- eighth tons, and the blubber and whalebone to be worth, at current prices, oll, $9,795; bone, $1,000; making a neat total of $10,975. Attorney L. E. Ginn attempted to compute the age of the subject under consideration, and concluded from the transverse lines on the baleen that this fish had existed for 986 years, lacking but fourteen years of having lived the longest term of whale life. ‘The pectoral fins are twelve feet long and seven feet broad, the mouth is twenty-four feet long, the blow holes eighteen inches long, the half, hundred bathers in the water at the time it came ashore say the nolse of spouting was deafening and the spray ejected ascended at least fifty feet in the air. The threshing of the tail on the water in the struggle to regain the channel was heard at MeGowan's cannery, at the mouth of North river, four miles away. County School Superintendent L. W. Fan- sher furnished some historical facts in re- gard to the whale. Alfred the Great had been dead but six years when his whaleship first began to navigate the waters of the earth. This old boy was 120 years old when William the Conqueror was born, and may have been playing off English shores when he was crowned king. He was on earth at the time of making the great charter at Runnymede, he was middle-aged when the pligrims landed at Plymouth Rock, and probably looked upon the wars of Napoleon, the American revolution and civil war with many a sad sigh and shake of the head for the ruthless slaughter of humanity. ——s A PSYCHOLOGICAL PUZZLB. Moments of Carelessness in Cool- Headed Men Leading to Costly Blunders. From the New York World. Here is a psychological puzzle for the ex- perts. What made that brakeman on the Wabash line turn the switch and let the ex- press train plunge into the waiting freight which stood on the siding? The accounts of the disaster all agree that Thompson, the brakeman, was a man of experience in rail- roading, “‘a trusted man, and-of more than ordinary intelligence,” says the press dis- patch. His experience had included recent repetitions of the same conditions which existed on the fatal night. He had fre- quently stopped at the same siding to let the same train go by, very often in two sections, and never before had failed in his duty. The night of the wreck he knew that the express was in two sections; he let the first section go by, and then opened the switch with the second section almost in sight. Why did he do it? Not to wreck the train and kill the passengers. His mind wandered for a moment, he forgot his duty, forgot where he was and what he was doing, and before he came to himself the mischief was done. The mystery is that this mental failure should come at such a time, when all the conditions conspired to produce unusual alertness. Any one can recall a multitude of such in- stances, some of them i his own exper- fence. We have all known of cool-headed, Vigilant men who have made costly blun- ders in the familiar routine of their duties— blunders which were unexplainable by any ordinary relation of cause and effect. Busi- hess men whose shrewdness and foresight unaccountably desert them, athletes whose coolness and skill depart when in the per- formance of a familiar feat, cautious hunt- ers whose care in handling their guns is proverbial, who forget all this care in an instant, and’ other instances innumerable. It is not so many years ago that such a contradiction of habitual caution cost. a young business man, with a promising ca- reer before him, his life at a railroad cross- ing. He had crossed the track at that crossing and at that hour times without number. He knew that a train passed at this time, nearly always met it and waited to allow it to pass, but the night of his death he stepped on the track with the train almost upon him and was killed. The sentinels of his brain, which always until then had warned him of danger, were ap- Parently’ off duty that evening. Carelessness is hardly a complete expla- nation of these lapses, for there Is the secs lessness itself to be accounted for. Why Were these men who had never been care. less before careless just at that fatal mo. ment? Men are not prone to carelessness when they know, as that Wabash brake. man must have known, the probable conse- quences of neglect. "Forgetfulness Is a Boor explanation, and itself needs to be ex” plained. For what is it that sends men's wits wool gathering when most needed at home to superintend an accustomed task? our mental machinery suddenly fail at these times and leave our consciousness empty of impressions of outside things and ourselves oblivious of our surroundings? Let somebody wiser than we answer. oo Sorry He Fooled His Wife. From the Toronto World.

BACK IN THE THIRTIES. Mr. Boss, a Walking Encyclopedia, Tells of Old Washington. Ante-Bellum Papers “Can't you give me a good story for Sat- urday’s issue?" asked a Star reporter of Inspector Hollinberger of the District de- tective corps the other morning. “Well,” replied the inspector, “perhaps I could, but it would take me some time to think about it. If you want anything real- ly good, you should go and consult the local walking encyclopedia.” “Why, does Washington boast of such an Institution?” “Indeed she does, and from him you can get events, names and dates from sixty years ago down to the present time, and moreover, you can rely on the correctness of everything he gives you.”” Fifteen minutes later The Star man found himself at the house, corner of 7th and F streets south, designated by the in- spector as the residence of the aforesaid walking encyclopedia. In response to his knock, a masculine voice called out, “Come in.’ le obeyed,and found a silver-haired,silver-bearded man ap- parently about sixty years of age, busily arene in making repairs in some ap- rel. “Mr. Boss?” asked the 4 “That's my name, sir; what can I do for you?” going on with the sewing. “I understand you are a storehouse of facts about Washington and would like to have some cf your knowledge for The Star readers,” responded the reporter.

No, there was nothing of that sort. Everybody depended on the weekly issues of our two Washington » the National Intelligencer and the Globe. In those days the circulation of the latter, with which, of course, I was acquainted, was about 6,000 for the daily, 10,000 for the tri-weekly, but mounted into hundreds of thousands for the weekly. “Speaking of the Globe, we had much of the public printing and every sheet of the census of 1810 passed through my hands. ‘There was not as much of the census in those days as there is now. Pennsylvania Avenue. “Washington has changed very much since the ‘30's, continued Mr. Boss, dream- lly watching the smoke from his pipe as it curled upward into space. “The other day in a street car I heard a man talking about the changes on Pennsylvania avenue since 1830, but they are comparatively speaking very slight compared with those of the three previous decades. In the early '30' there were rows of poplar trees in the ave- nue about thirty feet from the curb and between them a raised walk about a foot high extending from 15th street to the Cap- {tol In 1832 this was done away with and it was decided to macadamize the: street.,| ‘The laborers were at this work ‘when, the cholera broke out in September, 18%.

The cholera pit, as it was called, where the vic- tims of that dread disease were buried was on the ‘old work house corner,’ north- east corner 6th and N streets northwest.

Med mainly upon their acrobatic feats and horseback riders. However, not know! anything better, we used to look forwa with eager eyes to the coming of the cir- cus. The Snow Mobbing. “One of the most exciting episodes in the history of the '30's was what was after- ward known as the ‘Snow mobbing.’ On the northwest corner of 6th and Pennsyl- vania avenue there was a drinking saloon kept by a bright young colored man named Snow. In some way—the story was dis- credited afterward—it became rumored around that Snow had spoken disrespect- fully about the wives and daughters of certain laboring white men. The result was that a secret meeting was held and it was decided to wreak summary vengeance upon the alleged offender. With this intention a mob started for his place, which,from a few in number, was augmented into hundreds, When they reached there they did not find Snow, but smashed things generally. “It was necessary to call out the militia, and the mob was finally dispersed without loss of life or any very material loss. I do not remember the exact date of this rather sensational event, but it seems to me that it was in 1834, Many Changes. “You have doubtless heard of the Blod- gett estate, which comprised a large part of the northwest section of the city. Well, in 1830, on what is now the east front of the genera! post office, there was a brick bulld- ing, owned and occupied by Mr. Blodgett, while where the patent office now stands there was a little log cabin, occupied by a Mr. and Mrs. Orr. At that time you did not have to pay $40 and $50 a foot for land around F street, and property worth mil- Mons now could have been bought for a few paltry hundreds. Real estate men have plenty of fine examples to point to here in Washington of people who had reat opportunities to get rich and didn’t, and I am one of them. “On the northwest corner of the same Square an apothecary named Gunton had an ice house, from which he supplied a good part of the population with ice. In those days you didn’t have your ice brought to your door; you had to go to it. Rather inconvenient, you doubtless think, but that 1s the way we used to do it in the thirties.” ——_+0+_____ Preparing to Demolish the Fatr. From the Chicago Herald. se Builders of the world’s fair are now get- ting ready to tear the great exposition down. More than a year elapsed between the time Congress voted to send the exposition to Chicago and the beginning of operations in Jackson Park. One day after the final clos- ing of the gates on October 30 the work of destruction will begin. The organization is already perfected for the destruction. It only waits the word from Director General Davis. The word will be given on the morn- ing of October 31. How fast the exposition will fall cannot, of course, be told now. Many elements of uncertainty enter into the question, not the least of which Is the state of the weather during the closing days of October. If the winds that sweep down over Lake Michigan bring tcicles and snow, little will be left at the end of a month but a remembrance of the gorgeous interiors. The buildings will stay—most of them for six months and some of them longer—but the exhibits will be boxed and crated and hauled away on freight cars, ——_——-ee+. Collision in a Fog Near Belfast.

A society young woman of this city has devised a novel entertainment, which is shortly to be made public. It ‘is to be ‘reception for people who can’t sleep at night.” Among her friends, she says, are a great many very delightful people who are troubled with insomnia, and who confess that they spend many frightful, wakeful hours walking the floor, looking out of the window, rocking in easy chairs, trying to read or write, and in other useless and tresome occupations. When her plans are fully matured this original young woman intends on at least two nights in every week to be “at home” to those distressed female friends from mid- night until morning. The guests are re- quested to appear in any unigue respectable bedroom gown, bath robes not excluded; the lights are to be dim, soothing music and stupid conversation will be the only diversion permitted, hot chocolate and light wafers will be served, couches and easy chairs will be provided in abundance, and the insomnia victims are earnestly desired to fall asleep as soon as possible. It is whispered that prizes will be offered for the first snore, but this detail is not authentically announced. The reception is to be a fact, however, and an eager expec- tancy as to invitations is in the air. — Bean Porridge Hot. The children’s game of stapping hands the rhymes of “Bean porridge “hot, as Porridge cold,” as now adapted for the use of adults, has fun in it in large solid chunks. It may be played by a room full of people, who are divided into fours. In each group the couples are so seated that the hands of the second couple meet across the hands of the first couple. As everybody knows, the first motion is to slap the hands palm downward upon the knees; the second {s to slap the palms of the upraised hands together, and so on. In the revised and enlarged form of the game the second coupte makes its first motion when the first couple makes its second motion, and the second couple continues thus always one motion behind the first, to avold col- Uston. When all the players are ready let somebody sit down at the piano and begin “The High School Cadets’ March” or “Push Dem Clouds Away,” or any other lively tune of suitable measure, and with the whole room in motion to the music it won't take more than a month to discover that there is more fun in this version of “Bean Porridge bot” than you can shake a stick at.

He Had an Experience With Laughing Gas and Will Never Forget It. From the Boston Herald. “Does it hurt very much to have a tooth pulled?” inquired a tall man of a Tremont street dentist. : “That depends,” was the reply. “If the affected tooth happens to be a molar, with the roots at right angles with each other, or if it is decayed so as to leave the nerve uncovered or if it is worn down even with the gums, zo that it is necessary to dig the flesh away in order to get a good hold with the forceps, then the chances ere that you will kick a little.” Then the tall man trembled from head to foot, and in a shaking voice said: “What do you think of that one?” accompanying ‘his words by his mouth to its full- est extent indicating with his finger the seat of his trouble. The doctor took up a small instrument with @ little round looking glasss at one | end, and, running it into the cavern that yawned before him, made a careful inspec- tion of the interior. “That looks like a stubborn old fellow,” remarked the doctor, as he replaced the in- strument upon his “What would ughing gas,"’- replied the doctor. “Will I be oblivious to the pain?” “Entirely 80.” The tall man settled himself in the oper- ating chair, and the doctor inserted be- tween the patient's teeth an old champagne cork. Then he placed a funnel-shaped piece of rubber over the tall man’s mouth and nose, and told him to breathe heavily. Grad- ually consciousness gave way under the in- fluence of the gas, but not until the man sation of being smothered under an old- fashioned feather pillow. ret imagined that he was on hie wa first it he was on 2 down erade and gong a down hour the wheels left brakes broke and the a terrible speed. It difficulty that the Hy sengers, and the rattle of the train. Suddenly was a deafening report and a concussion, and the cars ~ appeared crumble away. The tall man found himself in total dark- ness, but suddenly, to his horror, he dis- covered a streak of lurid flame through the wreckage, which told him that he would be roasted alive if immediate succor did not reach him. He could hear voices directly over him, but do as he would not a sound could he utter. The flames were making rapid progress toward the place where was confined, and their hot breath ginning to singe his whiskers.

It took ail strength to dislodge him,” and the doctor wiped Gripping forehead with his handkerchief. “Where a-a-am I?’ were the first words of the tall man. “Why, right here in my office,” responded the doctor. “You would have had a tough time if you hadn't taken the gas.” “Well, if it had been rougher than it ac- tually was I would now be & corpse,” and the tall man paid the $1.50, and went out into the street feeling as if he had been walking in a treadmill for a week. ——_-o-—_____ A Venetian Fete on the Seine, A Venetian fete will be held on the Seine October 2 in honor of the officers of the Russian war ships that will pels taking pert te th ane bees is e will several torpedo boats. ——_+o-_____ The German Naval Estimates, The North German Gazette, referring to the government's demands for the navy, de- clares semi-officially that the prescribed Program for the systematic it of the fleet will not be = ay td fellvs HE ae i & § i ik : i ! rest, i i ; { fi 3 g g, ! 5 } F | a3 TAKE STEPS IN TIME. ‘When your blood is out on aos ae ‘this scrofulous condition, Shae hs ot Says with any cough that you can't seem = FE Hs i i i 3 { [ Ls H t i It’s Well ‘To have your teeth cleaned by a dentist about every 3 months.
