Tho summer conference of tho pre.:
mlers of British dominions, including'
tho premier of Australia, nnd the gen
eral understanding that Australia Is
In closo sympathy with the United
States in tho matter of oriental Im
migration, makes thnt far-away com
monwealth of more than ordinary In
terest to Americans Just now.
Australia is the most Isolated of all
Inhabited continents nnd is remote
from the center of all of the world's
activities. Northward the sailing dis
tance td Japan 1$ approximately 8,000
nautical miles; to India, 2,500 miles.
South America is 7,000 miles to the east ;
nnd Africa nn equal distance west.
From London to the capital of Aus
tralia ships by tho Suez route traverse
approximately 11,000 miles of water
and by the Panama canal, 12,734 mites.
From California ports tho routes via
Samoa, or FIJI, or Tahiti cover a quar
ter of tho circumference of tho earth.
Australia's only largo civilized neigh
bor within a radius of 1,000 miles ui
Java.
Few Americans Go Thero.
The continent, lying thus far out
side the ordinary routes of travel, la
rarely visited by Americans. For most
of us knowledge of this fascinating
land is obtnined by a study of a few
pages in the back of school geoic-
raphies pages descriptive of "Aus
tralia and New Zealand" nnd accom
panied by n map of "Australia and
the Islands of tho Pacific" on a scale
too small for the recognition of signif
icant features.
One of the first surprises awaiting
tho tourist from the northern hemi
sphere is to find that Australia and
New Zealand may not be grouped as
two Islands of like appearance, differ
ing mainly In size; near neighbors
which may be treated as a unit. New
Zealand is nearly twice as far from
Australia as Bermuda Is from New
York, and is not only cast but also
south.
The southern coast of tho Aus
tralian mainland hns tho latitude of
central New Jersey, while the eoutbr
ernmost of the three lslnnds which
comprise the Dominion of New Zea'
land occupies the position of southern
Newfoundland.
Unique vegetation of remarkable
variety and beauty, animal life of by
gone geological periods, and an ab
original population, the lowest In tho
flcalo of beings having human form,
stand out as features distinctly Aus
tralian a never-ending sourco of in
terest to. tho geographer.
Australia Is a large country. It Is
about fourteen times the size of
France or Germany, twenty-five times
tho size of Italy, or Ecuador, and two
and one-half times the size of Ar
gentina, Its chief competitor In "tho
southern hemisphere. Its area Is equal
to three-fourths of Europe, one-third
of all North America, or one-fourth
"t the British Empire. The continent
is almost exactly the slzo and Is near
lythe shape of the United States,
Level In Surface, Low in Elevation
Australia is the most level In sur
face and regular In outllno of all the
continents, and even of most largo is
lands. It Is also tho lowest continent,
with nn average elevation about that
of Ohio. Its surface lacks variety.
Tho change from one type of topog
raphy Is so gradual, and significant
natural features are so few and so
widely spaced that, with the excep
tion of tho Murray river, they are not
utilized In marking Uio boundaries of
states.
The traveler In search of duplicates
of the Canadian Itockles, the Yosem
lto and tho Grand ennyon, of Nor
wegian fjords nnd Alpine scenery, need
not visit Australia. Its mountain
scenery is thnt of the southern Ap
palachians, the white mountains, and
tho low ranges of Arizona. Its plains
and plnteaus are compurable with
those of tho Rocky Mountain foothills
nnd the arid expnnses of. Utah, Idaho
nnd Oregon.
Although the moutnlns are low com
pared with those of other continents,
their Influence is great, for nowhero
Is their control of rainfall nnd con
sequent distribution of vegetation nnd
people better exemplified, A bird's
eye view of.Austrnlla shows a belt of
vegetation extending along Its north
din
east nnd southeast edges, with a patch
on the extreme southwest corner and
another covering most of tho island
of Tasmania. In these regions, the
people live.
Tho trade winds abundantly supply
the northeast coast, but carry little
water beyond; the westerlies, the
"roaring forties" of tho sailor, deposit
their moisture on tho lands along Bass
strait and on the southwest tip of tho
continent, but hnve littlo or none to
carry Inland. Tho north coast Is al
ternately drenched nnd dried with the
coming nnd going of monsoons. Tho
center of the continent Is therefore
arid, largo parts are desert, and tho
numerous largo lakes shown on the
map are expanses of snlt mud covered
with water by Infrequent rains. Aus
trnlla's streams are fewer nnd carry
less water than those f any other
continent.
Its Forests Are Surprising.
Tho flora of Australia Is not only
beautiful, It Is unique, having no
counterpart In other lands. Of the
10,000 species of plants most of thorn
are purely Australian, and nro un
known even in New Zenland. The gen
eral Impression one gets of Australian
forests is their total unllkeness to any
thing seen elsewhere. Forms which
may bo recognized as tulip, Illy, honey
suckle and fern take on a surprising
aspect. They are not garden flowers,
but trees, nnd the landscape of which
they .form n part reminds one of the
hypothetical representations in books
of n landscnpe of MesozOlc time, a pe
riod antedating our own by millions
of years.
Tho Impression thnt one is looking
nt n landscune which has forever dis
appeared from other parts of the
world Is so vivid that the elms and
maples nnd oaks in some of the city
streets strike a Jarring note. Tho
transition from Jurassic to modern
times Is painfully abrupt.
The animals of Australia, too, are
so distinct from tho rest of tho world
that some have proposed two great
zoological realms: Australian and non-
Australian. The peculiarity lies not
only In the fact that Australian types
are not found elsewhere, but also that
families like tho cats and tho pigs,
which nre found native on nil other
continents and on many Islands, are
nbsent from Australia. Tho kangaroo
is Australia's national animal, and the
group to which It belongs, the mar
supials, Is typically Australian.
A belt of country 100 miles wldo
nlong tho cast, south and southwest
edges of Australia would Include prob
ably 80 per cent of tho commonwealth's
populntlon. There nro no Inland cities
of over 10,000 population, except six
mining camps, and the most remote
of these Is about as far from the sea
as Is Pittsburgh.
A striking featuro of the Australian
census Is the concentration of popula
tion In cities- a phenomenal situation
for nn agricultural and pastoral na
tion with less than 1 per cent of Its
nrea under cultivation nnd 47 per cent
unoccupied. The six Australian state
capitals Include 88.80 per cent of the
commonwealth's population, and five
of them are growing nt the expenso
of tho back country. No other nation,
and few states, can match these fig
ures. A "white Australia" is tho settled
policy of tho commonwealth govern
ment, the Immigration laws being so
administered as effectually to exclude
colored races. Legislation is directed
particularly to the exclusion of
Chinese, Japanese and Polynesian la
bor, not only from the lnnd, but from
employment In pearl fishing, coastwise
shipping, and on overseas steamers
holding mall contracts. '
Appreciative.
"Whnt is your Idea of relativity?"
"Very favorable," replied Senator
Sorghum. "Wo have so many ier-
plcxlng questions to handle Jtfst now
that I am grateful to tho gentleman
who discovered it for not letting It get
Into politics."

ECONOMICAL DISHES.
A cond way to servo a small
amount of meat for a good sized fam
ily Is to cook the
meat witli tho
vegetables ; tho
iluvor of the
meat seasons tho
vegetables, uud
less, meat Is need
ed to satisfy the
appetite.
When preparing lnmb or mutton pie,
if the meat seems scant add a few
peas to give flavor and nourishment,
and thus extend the dish.
A dish nlco for a busy day Is pre
pared by slicing potatoes very thin,
put Into a shallow granite baking dish,
season with salt and pepper and cover
with pork steak or chops, then bake.
The chops will season the potntoes
and the dish may be served at tho

eggs, reserving a few eighths to gar
nish the top of tho salad. Mix well
with a good highly seasoned mayou-
nalso dressing und serve In n nest of
lettuce which lines u -bowl that has
been rubbed with a clove of garlic.
Dates added to a baked custard
