Writing of bis travels in the Orient, Lord Curzon, the present viceroy of India, has the following good word to say for Asia in general: Asia has al ways appeared to me to possess a fas cination which no country or empire in Europe, still less any part of the western hemisphere, can claim. It is believed by many to have been the cradle of our race, and the birthplace of our language, just as it certainly has been the hearthstone of our religion, and the fountain-head of the best of our ideas. Wide as is the chasm that now severs us, with Its philosophy our thought is still interpenetrated. The Asian continent has supplied a scene for the principal events, and a stage for the most proihinent figures, in his tory. Of Asian parentage Is that force which, more than any other influence, ha3 transformed and glorified man kind—-viz., the belief in a single Deity. Five of the six greatest moral teachers that the world has seen—Moses, Bud dha, Confucius, Jesus and Mahommed —were born of Asian parents, and lived upon Asian soil. Roughly speak ing, their creeds may be said to have divided the conquest of the universe. The most famous or the wisest of kings—Solomon, Nebuchadnezzar, Cy rus, Timur, Baber, Akbar—have sat upon the Aslan thrones. Thither the great conqueror of the Old World turned aside for the sole theater be fitting so enormous an ambition. The three most, populous existing empires— Great Britain, Russia and China—are Asian empires, and it is because they are not merely European but Asian that the two former are included in the category. To Asia we owe the noblest product of all literature, in the Old Testament of the Hebrew Scrip tures r the sweetest of lyrics, in the epithal&mium of a Jewish king; the embryos of modern knowledge, in the empiricism of Arabian geometers and, metaphysicians. In Asia the drama was born. There the greatest writer of an tiquity chose a scene for his Immortal epic. There, too, the mariner’s com pass first guided men over the pathless waters. In our own times alone it Is with her aid that we have arrived at the evolution of three new sciences— comparative mythology, comparative jurisprudence, and philology. From Asia we have received the architecture of the Moslem—that most spiritual and refined of human conceptions—the por celain of China, the faience of Persia, Rhodes, and Damascus, the infinitely ingenious art of Japan. On her soil was reared the most astonishing of all cities, Babylon; the • i$t princely of palaces, Persopolis; the stateliest of temples, Angkor Wat; the loveliest of tombs, the Taj Mahal. There, too, may be found the, most wonderful of Na ture's productions—the loftiest moun- . tains on the surface of the globe, the most renowned, if not the largest, of rivers, the most entrancing of land- j scapes. In the heart of Asia lies to this day the one mystery which the hineteenth century has still left for the twentieth to explore—viz., the Tib etan oracle of Lhasa. Transml**loa of I>*»fnem. The question as to whether the off spring of deaf persons are likely to be deaf has been carefully investigat ed recently by Prof. E. A. Fay, and an Important monograph on the sub ject, has been published by the Volta Bureau of Boston. Prof. Fay has con sidered carefully the data afford d by statistics of over 4,500 marriages of deaf people in the United States, and his research is looked upon as the most conclusive proof yet advanced that there la no inheritance of ac quired characters, so far, at least, as the inheritance of deafness is con cerned. Prof. Fay shows that if the deaf pedple who marry do not have deaf relatives, the marriage is no more likely to result in deaf children than the marriage of ordinary people, while the marriage of hearing persons w tn deaf relatives is just as likely to re sult in. deaf children as a marriage of the deaf. . . . ■ t . v • » • -» i Australia** Prime Minister. Sir William Lyne, Lord Hopetoun’s first selection for the premiership of Australia, was not born to fortune. He began life as a "squatter” in Queens land.

He tired of official life at 31, and left Tasmania and again "squatted” op-the Murray river in New South Wales, which has been his home ever since. He stood for parliament and won, and was soon a minister.
