MURRAY, Jr. eT To for oe a oe x Three Lines Will Shertly Stretch Acress the Continent, A word>rful impulse has been given to railroad building in Australia by the merging of colonial in- tersts in the union formed by the - Commonwealth. There is as yet no line of raiload stretching across the continent, but it is already certain that in the near future there are to be three such lines," and that each of them may be used to shorten the journey between Europe, Sydney and the southern ports by several days. Sir John Forest, the first post- master-generil oi the Commonwealth, is the author of the project, now au- thorized, to extend the southern sys- tem of railroads clear across the southern part of the continent, form- ing a connection between Sydney on the east and Perth oh the west coast. Port Augusta, at the northern point of Spencer Gulf in South Australia, is now the western terminus of the South Australian railroads. It is tne outlet for the pastoral regions to the west and the wheat lands north- west of it. A line 1,068 miles in length is to be built along the coast on .the southern edge of the Great Victoria Desert to Port Kucla, the frontier town between the states of West Australia and South Australia, and thence northwest to the well- known gold mining centre of Kal- goorlie, which already has g railroad connecting it with Perth, the capital of West Australia, on the west coast. It is expected that this line, built along the level coast, indy be quite cheaply. constructed, the cost being estimated at something over $10,- 000,000. A railroad has for a long time been in operation between Port Augusta and the town of Oodnadatta, far north in the State of South Austral- ia. The best harbor on th: north coast of the continent is Port Dar- win, the outlet for the meighhoring gold nnd, tin mines, and the landing place of two of the cables that con- nect Europe and Australia. A rail- road from Port Darwin. 145 miles long, extends to Pine Creek, in the heart of the mining region. Pine Creek and Oodnadatta are to be the terminal points of the new north and south railroad across the heart of Australia. When the road is com- pleted the journey may be made by rail north and south through the middle of Australia from Adclaide on the south coast to Port Darwin, 'Le distance being 1,896,- miles. " The second transcontinental road north and south will have the same terminus on the north coast, but will lie to the east of the central route. The town of Bourke is now the ter- minus in the northwest of the rail- road system of New South Wales. A railroad will be built in a compara- tively straight line between Bourke and Pine Creek, its direction - being northwest and southeast. It will be 1,600 miles long and its completion will link Sydney with Port Darwin by a continuous railroad 2,247 miles in length. The first of these two north south continental roads will be the shofter, but it will have the disad- vantage of running through the unin- habitated and worthless desert of Central Australia, The longer route between Sydmey and Port Darwin, however, will have the decided ad- vantage of running through a great region. of grazing lands whose utility may be largely enhanced in value by the development of - artesian wells. It may also be rcached easily by the and extension. of the Queensland lines, which © pow connect the east coast ports with the interior, and as the line will form gz part of the shortest route to Europe. it will probably draw some part of the east coast 'rade It is expected that the open- mg of this railroad will have a great effect upon the fortunes of Port Dar- win, which now merely serves the needs ole a few thousand minérs in the most isolated part of -the contin- ent, but when connected with. the most populous parts: both of south and southeast Australia, has every prosvect of developing into a port of large nuportynce The plans of these three great rail- rouds have been completed, the build- ing of the roads has been authoriz- sl br legal (nactment, and the be- aitning of ¥A® Work is within sight. 'those facts show that in spite of her small population the Commonwealth of Australia is determined to do ev- ervth ng in its power to advance the industrial and commercial facilities of the continent which it embracess Lord Roberts' Retort, Lord Roberts once found himself the centre of a circle of new friends in a London club. There was a very A FINE TOWN. TRANSVAAL DISTRICT SEEN THROUGH CANADIAN EYES ¢" The Garden of The Transvaal," is the Appropriate Name of the Charming Town. F. J. M. W., one of the Canadian teachers who went to South Africa, writes to The Toronto Star, under date, Potchefstroom, Transvaal, July 19, that, "It occurs to me that while I was still at Wome in Canada everyone there seenmied. to .know a good deal about Pretoria and Johan- nesburg and a few other notable places in South Africa, but very lit- tle of Potchefstroom, which is a place of considerable importance here, see- ing it is the old capital of the Trans- vaal. The. town is appropriately named "The Gardem of the Trans- vaal,"" for nowhere else that we Can- adian teachers have been in South Africa have we seen such fine trees, such beantiful gardens, so many pret- ty streams of water, or such chirping little birds as arc to be found here in the Potchefstroom district. We there- fore feel inclined to differ somewhat with the too sweeping statement of- ten heard that "South Africa is a jiand of birds. without song, rivers without water, and women without beauty." As to the women, if butch women are meant, they may have beauty or they may have not, for it is not so easily discoverable. Tc us it has been a constant source of wonderment as to whether the cloths which are often worn and cov- er the greater part of a Dutch woman's face are there to protect pleasant features and a good com- plexion or to conceal the lack of ei- ther. This town of Potchefstroom is situ- ated on a river which rejoices in the name of "Mooi,"' * which in English means "pretty" or "bedutiful,"' and the river well deserves its name, winding as it does beneath its over- hanging willows to join the Vaal, twenty miles away to the south. During the late war Potchefstroom was alternately occupied and evacu- ated by the Boers and the British. One day the British troops would en- ter the town, remain for a day or two, and then continue their march north, by the road past the old mill on the northern boundary of the town. Immediately - on receiving news of the departure of the British, the Boers would pour into the town from the veldt to the east, where the concentration camp now is, and remain until news eof another ad- vancing Dritish column would cause another exit of the Boers. Accord ingly, ax may be supposed, the in- habitants of the town (not the real- ly English people, who had left for Cape Colony). were astonishingly British, or astonishingly Dutch, as suited the occasion. They found it quite easy to cheer for the British one day as to cheer for the Boers the next. Now, of course, 'all are more British than the British. Sunday: morning, June 8th, last, witnessed the gathering of a large and excited concourse of people in the market square here, when the terms of peace were read out by the chief magistrate to the citizens, who filled the large - space before the Court House. The people here are ambitious for their town and are eagerly looking forward to the day, anticipated as not very far off, when Potchefstroom will once again occupy its old-time position of importance in the Trans- vaal. The town is to be one, of the principal military stations oi the Transvaal, as well as one of the three important centres of education, having a High School, a Normal College and a College oi Agrieul- ture. The midwinter school holidays are over, and the teachers are back at their duties, after enjoying their ten days' convention at Johanncs- burg. Regardless of cost,. about 700 teachers. were gathered together from all-parts of South Africa, and entertained during their stay in Jo- hannesburg by the citizens. Daily lectures on educational and other subjects were given, together with entertainments, concerts, visits to the mines; ctc., as well as a re- ception at: "Sunnyside,"" by Lord Milner. The chief credit for the suc- cessful convention is due to Mr. Sar- gent, who has wisely been entrusted with the guidance of educational af- fairs in South Africa: : The beneficial results of this great gathering -of South African teachers will doubtless be apparent in the work of the schools for years to come. r------ Homured and Read at Home, It was only a few choice spirits vhat asked for the works of Dr, John Beattie Crosier at the Public Jibrary until a few months .ago. Why the hooks were not in general demand before is perhaps not difficult to_explain. To the.grcat unwashed "The History of Intellectual Develop- ment" or 'My Inner Consciousness" does not 'hold out an invitation so pressing as "The Mystery of the Rarnyard" or "The Candywoman"s Revenge.' Hence Crosier's books were asked for only by a choice few.

He was mot only a hearer of John the Baptist, during that prophet's so popular ministry, but became identifi- ed with him as a disciple. It was while in the company of his master, that he was directed by hith to Jesus, the Lamb oi God. interview with the Saviour is well Faces and his brotherly wolich on following day in finding his bro- ther Simon, ana im i to him news that had rejoiced his own heart ana made him long to share it with oth- ers. St. Andrew in this act has steamer, towing out from her moor- ings into mid-stream -a huge ocean- going vessel. Peter became by far the more conspicuous character of the two &nd appears to have moved in more stirring scenes, but for that first news of the Master, Whom afterwards hé so devoutedly served, Peter was in- debted to the quieter Anarew. Andrew comes before us again in the Gospel story with his suggestion in the presence of the hungry multi- tude of ~ the presence of a lad, who had five barley loaves 'and two small fishes, and once agai when some Greeks--forerunners of the multitudes of Gentiles, who should yet come into, the kingdom--desired to see Jesus; he with Philip led them to the Christ. The body of the saint is said to have been transported from its rest- ing place at Patrae to. Constantinople in 357 A.D.,, and deposited in a church which Constantine the Great had built to receive the remains. Scotland's claim to a special inter- est in St. Andrew rests upon the tra- dition that a certain abbot, Regulus, in 369, A.D., carried from Constanti- nople to Scotland' some relics of the saint, and deposited them in g church, built in St. Andrew's honor, and nam- ed after him on the spot where the city of St. Andrew's now stands. The monastery connected with the church became a place of popular resort for pilgrims from many lands, and as early as 800 A.D., was endowed with very great wealth by one of the early kings in thanksgiving for a victory obtained! The history of the church of that historic town, of its part in the early evangelization of Scotland, of the scenes in which it played so large a part at the Reformation, or the great university that has had so conspicuous g place in the educational system of the Scots, all this belongs to another subject, rather than the life and labors of the saint. It is not too 'much, however, to say that as St. Andrew was, as Bede called him, "The Introductor to Christ," Scot! land has in no small measure emula- ted the example of her patron saint in playing the part of the pioneer in paths of political, educational and re- ligious reform for the world, and so has opened the way into the kingdom of Christ for the sons of many lands besides her own.

'tL he question ot how many drinks of whiskey a man can stow away and still maintain an equilibrium was in- directly at issue in a case that Judge John H. Baker, of the - federal court, tried at Evansville this week. 'Lhe plaintili--the man who drank the whis- key--was Kdward 'Murphy, a large landowner and distiller near Owens- boro, Ky. The defendant was the city of Rockport. Murphy travels for his own distil- lery. About two. years ago he made a trip to Rockport, where ne met with a serious accident. Lockport is built on hills, and some of the. streets are abruptly ended by clifis. In going to his hotel at night Murphy walked off a precipice. He fell several feet into a ditch, breaking a leg and an arm, and sustaining other injuries. He began suit for $15,000 damages, but the defence set up the claim that the city was not liable, although it had not guarded the precipice. Murphy denied being intoxicated, and in his testimony he declared that he could. drink forty glasses of whiskey a Several saloon men testified that Murphy was not drunk, but was "feel- ing good."
