Isolated Contineut Which Was Once Connected With Asia and After Her Volcanoes Burned Out a Wealth of Verdure and Fertility Awaited the Cowing of Civilized Peoples, NE of the oldest of all lands, the youngest of all nations She is the reality of rwo thousand years of wise men's dreams, the vast outhern continent which they thought must be there to balance the Ausiralia, is { land in the northern hemisphere. No one dared seek for her, for they thought that she was separated from the rest of the world by an equator of fire and demons and all-slaying mist She must be there, they sald, and they drew fancy cutlines of her on all their maps and globes, and show- "d her linked up to Africa and to America, and stretching unbroken to the South Pole. But when Diaz staggered around the southern foof of Africa, and Maczellan. found his way through open water round the fouthern-most point of South Ameri- ca, and Drake, following, got blown away into the boyndless Southern Seas beyond, and hone found south- ern land---then they gave it up, and struck Australia from the map. There could not be a southern continent after all, they said. But Australia was there all the time, with the strangest men and the strangest animals io the world, lying, as under a spell of enchaniment, agleep with- in her borders of pearl and coral and her girdle of salt sea foam ™ For long, long years Australia had lain preparing for the coming of man Her history is written on-- her wide bosom. Once she was part of greater land masses, connected, perhaps, by land bridges with Asia. Beneath the surface this vast contin- ent was boiling Jurning mountains were heaved up and blew their heads off, and thousands of miles of lava and ash remain to tell the tale of her great volcanoes, But her fires died out, and more enduring mountains were formed, which, age upon age, epoch after spoch, have been attacked by heat and wind and rain, have been worn down lower and lower, their summits ground by the agencies of time into dust and powder. Their chemical properties, contained in the boiling lava from which they first solidified, were released with the slowly gather- ing debris, and this highly charged rubble of shattered rock and wind- lashed sand forms to-day the barren deserts of Australia. But smiling verdure clad the greater part of these, and great forests grew. They sank beneath the sea, and some changed into coal. Gold and silver, tin and copper, diamonds, and other valuable stones, formed in the rocks, and the precious metals tumbled from their beds as the mountains crumbled, forming the great niiggets have since Leen found in the where were the men? The men were not ready, They had not emerged. But the animals had. Warm-blooded animals which suck- led their young bad appeared upon the earth, and, roaming far, had reached Australia from other parts of the world. Then came the break- down of the land bridges from Aus- tralia to Asia. The animals were shut up in a continent which had be- come an island. The kangaroos and the wallabies, the bear-like koala, the egg-laying mammals, and many kinds of reptiles were imprisoned on the continent, ' These, and great birds which forgot how to fly, were the lords of this vast area of the earth. The animals remained the very lowest type--animals which carry their young In pouches, which have the smallest of brains. There was no competition, no hard struggle for life as in the busier world with- out, no need to improve. They de- veloped on the old lines. Some grew to be giants, as big as any elephant, and then died out. The smaller types syrvived, though of these smaller ones, the great kangaroo is bigger than the tallest man. The story of the Australian animals is one of the wonders of the world. The hige continent experi- ences in its different ranges three climates--tropical, sub-tropical, snd temperate, so .that we might expect to find there animals. resembling those of Africa as wellas of Europe. But there is nothing of the sori, There are no lions or tigers, 20 wolves, bears, cats,"weasels--indeed, not 4 single flesh-eater except a little so-called cat. There is that, and there is the wild dog, or dingo, but be is a mysterious newcomer, not a native. There are neither apes nor monkeys; neither oxen, deer, nor an- telopes; no elephants, rhinoceroses, pigs, camels, horses, hares or rab- bits; no tree mice, squirrels or por- eupines; no hedgehogs or shrews, And yet, Jacking all these creatures, | BRITAIN'S MILLIONAIRES. Lord Joisey is the World's Greatest Coal-Owyner. No fanciful heraldic design adorns the coat of arms of Lord Jeicey. The foremost items on his escutcheon are a couple of honest pick-axes and two pit ponies. - It was typical of Lord Jgicey, the world's largest and richest coal-owner, that whén he was raised to the peerage in 1905 he should have chosen this design for a trest, for he is proud of the fact that his immense fortune rests on the pit pony and the pickaxe which his fa- ther used to wield in the depths of the mine. Born in the atmosphere of collier. ies and brickworks cot Tanfield, in Durham, Lord Joicey as a boy grew up in the 'black environment." His father, who at ome time worked in a Tyneside colliery, was a man of ser- ious thought, foresight, and shrewd common sense. He saw the future of the enginéering side of mining, and earned a reputation as a clever engineer. 'Ultimately his son went to Newcastle, and there are many people in that town who still remem- ber the days when' the millionaire could be seen on the quay in- his uncle's office, putting up shutters und going for letters. Thrifty and energetic, young Joi- cey saved every penny he could while learning all he could; and although for a time he.was only earning the modest wage of £2 a week, he was able to save enough to invest in some mining enterprises. : In those days people used to say that "young Joicey would one day own the cozl of the kingdom." An exaggeration, of course. But the expression gives some idea of the opinion of the North-country people regarding his capabilities, even in the days before his uncle's death placed him In possession of great wealth. With the money he inherited from his uncle Lord Joicey judiciously ne. gotiated various deals. Some idea of the extent of his resources may be gathered when it fs mentioned that Some years ago his firm took a lease of Lord Durham's pits for £1,100,- 000, the capital expenditure being paid out of the profits within two years. A further illustration of Lord Joicey's vast interests is contained in the remark which he made in a speech when he was presented with a por- trait of himself in 1913 at the New- castle Chamber of Commerce to cele- Brite his fifty years of commercial e 'Business life," he said on that oc- casion, "is a good life, and to preside Over a concern which spends £1,500.,- 000 a year in wages and supports thousands of families is a thing to be proud of." - Outside -his business Lord Joicey has many interests. He is fond of outdoor life. He goifs, shoots, cycles, and on occasion plays lawn tennis. He is keenly interested in agriculture and art. Indeed, he is one of the most munificent patrons of art, and to him many a struggling artist has 'owed the hélp which has carried him Some way up the ladder that leads to fame, Personally Lord Joicey is a man of much geniality, who {8 known among his friends as "Old King Coal." Cook's Mistake, It was In one of the large cities of Australia. A lady engaged a cook who had just arrived from a country town. She brought with her good recommendations, and was supposed to be & real good kitchen servant. Her mistress ordered eels for dinger, and next morning went as usual to give her Instructions for that meal. "We are to have fish for dinner, Jane. I suppose you kmow how to cook it?" 'Oh, yes, certainly," ma'am," she replied. A short time after the Aishmonger's boy arrived with the parcel, and on Jane opening it, she gave some hor- rible screams. Her mistress rushed into ihe Kitchen, ever is the matter, \ " she said. wy "Oh, ma'am, 1 thought you said you ordered fish for dinner?" replied Jane. "Well, 0 1 did," said her mistress. "Well, ma'am, the fishmonger has sent sbakes." ---- Who Wrote "Old Mother Hubbard"? Probably very few people could say whe wrote the famous "Mother Hubbard" lines, and fewer still know where the writer is buried. The Author was Sarah Catherine Martin, and she was buried at Loughton, in Essex. Miss Martin was born in January, 1768, and was about thirty. The Mor 'of (he oh lady aod ber act) e story ol lad 'ber . Tradition says the = ther Hubbard" was at Kitley Hall, Y. on, ihe resi- dence of Miks in's married sis- ter. At any rate, it was when on a visit to her sister at Kitley that the famous rhyme was penned. The orig- inal publication is still at Kitley, and cupboard is pointed out as being "the" cupboard. No Man's Land. THE BEAUTY OF TIPPERARY Lady Pole-Carew Has the Handsome est Husband in the Army. That the distinction of being so- clety's most beautiful woman belongs to Lady Pole Carew, whose husband has retired from politics, is the opin. ion of many people. Furthermore, General Sir Reginald Pole Carew hag been declared the handsomest msp in the service. 'And "Polly Carey™ as be is 80 often referred to, is cer- tainly as popular as he is handsome, while he has a gplendid record of ser. vice behind him. He is one of Robert's men, accom- panying "Bobs" on his march te Kandahar. It was during the Boer War, however, that Sir Reginald earned greatest distinction, particu: larly at the crossing of the Modder, where be led & party of the Guards through the water in the face of a withering fire.

The clock of Beauvais Cathedral fs said to be composed of ninety-two thousand separate pieces. One sees on the fifty-two dial plates the hour, the day, the week, and the month; the rising and setting of the sun, phases of the moon, the tides, the time in the principal capitals of the world, together with a series of ter- restrial and astronomical evolutions, The framework is carved oak, eight metres by five metres, or twenty-six feet by sixteen and a quarter feet. When the clock strikes all the edifice seems in movement. The designer wished to depict the Last Judgment. This wonderful work recalls the clock of Strassburg, and is of modern construction. It is the work of a Beauvaisian, M. Verite, who was. in 'the engineering department of tha Nord Railway, and who died in 1887.

't is eo .» and a demon armed with a pitchfork seizes it and casts jt into the abyss. Next comes the soul of the just, The gngels advance and conduct it to the realms of day, sa- cred strains being heard. About Tides. The tides are due to the attraction of the heavenly bodies, chiefly ihe moon. There are two floods and two ebbs every twenty-four hours forty- eight minutes, _At the time of new and full moon the tides are greater than usual and are ealled spring tides; at the first and last quarters they are less than usual and are call- ed neap tides. Spring tides vary in height, the variation depending for the most part on the position of the moon's perigee. The highest tides occur during the day in summer and during the night in winter. The "high tides" of the winter half of the year are the more dangerous, as the earth is then pearer to the sun: those happening about the times of the equinozes have a bad reputation from their keeping company with the gales which are sweeping round the British coasts at those seasons. His Salutation. Hall Caine does not take any great pains to conceal his rather remark- able likeness to Shakespeare. His resemblance is frequently the : 1b- Ject of good natured jest, and one of the best stories concerning it is gleefully told by Mr. Caine himself, Once he met Ignatius Donnelly, the well known Bacon-Shakespeare controversialist. Donnelly gazed re- wverently .at the novelist's broad brow, pointed face, and beard, and then, removing his hat with a flour. ish of .mock astonishment, said: "Lord Bacon, I presume?" -------------- | | { ! Earl of Kintore is a Mighty Scot and a Backwoodsman, Two interesting facts regarding the Earl of Kintore, who bas just celebrated his sixty-fourth birthday, are that in his youth he was a very good footballer, while his chief hob- by is applied mechanics. Although be is one of the big men of Scotland, where he owns a couple of fine seats and close upon thirty thousand acres, the Earl is one of the most unpreten- tious of men ,and added in no small degree to his popularity "down under" when, as Governor of South Australia, he performed the feat of crossing the Australian Continent clad in rough bushman's clothes, boiling his own "billy" of tea by the camp fire and smoking a stubby briar pipe. w Of imposing and handsome appear- apce, Lord Kintore is a courtier of old standing, for he was Lord-in- Waiting to Queen Victoria for some | years, as well as captain of her Yeo- | men of the Guard, resigning post when he went to South Aus-| tralia as governor. It is forty-three years ago since Lord Kintore mar- 1 ried a daughter of the sixth Duke of || Manchester. He has one son, Lord || Faleoner, who is famous--as is also Lord Kintore himself -- among the | crack shots of the day. It is interesting to note that Lord Kintore represents the ancient fam- ily of Keith, Hereditary Knights Ma- i rischal of Scotland, a dignity granted || to the sixth Earl of Marischal for preserving the regalia of Scotland from the hands of Cromwell. Sir John Keith adopted the expedient of having it buried by night in Kinneft church, previous to making his Cromwell thought regalia with him, The in the family motto, which, translated, "What was lost is safe."
