Australian Chemist Gives Reason for His Belief He Makes Discoveries That Prove of Value to Culti vators of Land. Sydney, N 8. W. Ono of the most remarkable features of Australian ge ography is tho pjesence of vast un derground seas which cover enor mous areas In Queensland and New South Wales, tho smaller ones in Vic toria, and along tho extreme western const. Thn problems connected with their origin, constitution and distribu tion aro among tho most interesting known to scloncn, whllo there seems some ground for the claim that our great artesian system, with all Its mineral contents, promises to bo of more vnluo to Australia than all hor other mineral resources combined. It, Symmonds, a chemist nttnehed to tho public works department of New South Wales, who has made this sub ject his own, has JubI had a book pub lished by tho department which Is full of original research and startling conclusions and In which ho denlB ex haustively with tho whole question from every point of view llo dif fers entirely from tho recent inter state conforenco on artesian waters, which unhesitatingly pronounced in favor of tho meteoric origin of tho water, I. 0., that la, that tho rainfall haB percolated tho porous beds under tho Influence of hydraulic conditions. Tho diminished flow In mnny of the wells, which has beon so frequently noted of late, was attributed by the conforenco to tho continual draining of tho supply by tho wells, which have been put down In much greater num ber of late years, and, theroforo, they recommended that somo of them should bo closed down. On tho other hand. Mr. Symmonds holds that tho supply Is plutonlc. or, in other words, thnt It comes from tho molten Invas In tho Interior of the earth. It appears that when n crys talline rock llko granlto Is heated to redness In vacuo enormous volumes of gaB and vnpor nro given off, which accounts for a great deal of volcnnlc nctlon, for tho presence of tho largo amount of gas found In artesian wa tor, nnd apparently for much of tho water Itself. Tho fact that thero Is very llttlo common salt and other chlorlno compounds In tho artesian wnters nt tho lower levels, the amount diminishing with tho depth, Is regard ed as strongly supporting the plutonlc origin, ns. If It wero meteoric, the wn ter would absorb mcro Instead of less salt In Its passage through tho soil. Several other facts nro adduced In support of tho conclusion that tho ar toslnn waters havo been expollod In a stnto of vapor from molten mnsses of rock In tho Interior of tho earth, such as tho high temperntures of much of the deeper water, tho largo quantities of gas Imprisoned therein, tho ascent of tho water, which Is bo noticeable n featuro In connection with tho bores, being attributed by Mr. Symmonds to tho prcsenco of tho gas and Its expansive force. Tho complcto absenco of chlorine from tho hot water encountered dur- HAS HORRIBLE TALE Consumptive, White-Haired at 28, Is Admitted to U. S..

A man with pure wblto hair, wasted frame and hollow, burn ing eyes that bespoku the consump tive, wrote In Spanish a brief history of hiuiBcir that made tho Immigration olllclala shudder, and they allowed tho stricken man to go. Tho man who wroto his namo, Miguel Klos, though white-haired and wrinkled, la but 28 Also bo Is stone deaf. When ho arrived, a month ago, from Iqultoa, ho was held and wns to bo do ported. Inquiry developed tho fact that his father. In Lima. Peru. Is Im mensely wealthy, and nlso that young Klos has plenty of gold. Klos, a year ago, was a gay young senor in Lima, Peru, tho only son of a rich father, and ho turned night Into day When tha good doctors told him ho wbb a victim of tho white plague ho gathered a camping outfit and started for tho Andes, which lie back of tho town. Tho mountains had cured others of consumption and Klos went light-heartedly, his guide leading tho llama which carried tho camp pack. While hunting ono day he parted from his guide, and night fell Tor days he wandered, living on berries and roots. Ono hundred and eighty days from the day ho was lost homo Putmnnvo Indians, a few miles fiom Iqultos, stopped to watch five vultuies wheel ing slowly overhead Hy gauging tho center of their flight tho Indians found tho pitiful wreck of what had onco been young Miguel nios lie was unconscious nnd nearly dead, Ills hair had turnod snow whlto and he wns totally deaf.

Several most Interesting discoveries havo been made In connection with tho arteBlnn wnters of recent years. Ono was that the constituent elements In some of tho higher nnd lower lev els in tho same well differ very con siderably, tho former being generally injurious and the latter beneficial to vegetable growth. Tho injurious ef fects of tho higher level wnters nro attributed to an alknll which com bines wtlh clny to form n substance known as a dlflluslblo colloid, which expands In soil treated with these wnterB, blocks the pores and renders tho soil unlit for agriculture. Hence tho bnd reputation of nrteslan wuters as an lrrigant for agricultural pur poses.

FRENCH MOBILIZE FOR WAR Twelve French Villages Praised for Quickness In Getting Ready to Fight. Paris. Tho curious mobllbutlon In cident when 12 villages o nthe east ern frontier were deceived Into think ing thnt France wns at war, has end ed In a Btorm of congratulations. The brlgndlcr of gendarmerie, Hllon, Is nt liberty. The fault for tho mls tako was not his fault at all. Tho telegraphic apparatus In Ahracourt postofllce woko tho postmaster up In tho middle of the night, nnd, being half asleep, he muddled his Instruc tions nnd transmitted mobilization or ders to 12 vlllnges without adding tho word "exercise." which would have told those concerned thnt tho order was merely for maneuvers on a small scalo. M. Default, the postmaster, has now been rechrlstened "En Dlffaut" ("In fault") and hns been temporarily sus pended from his olllco. But everybody elso has received warm congratulations from headquar ters. All tho mobilization operations wero cnrled out without a hitch, and wonderfully quickly. Horses and food wero requisitioned, everything was done In capital order, tho men camo to -the colors singing all the reservists camo from twenty to forty-flvo years old and marched brightly nnd without excitement to their posts. The result Is nn excellent object les son of the perfect readlnecs of the enst em frontier If war were to break out, nnd M.

Hood RIvor, Ore. "In the forest reservo between tho headwaters of tho west fork of Hood river and the Dull Run lake are some largo trees, bigger than any I havo ever seen anywhere else In the northwest," said George T. Prather, a pioneer news paper man and orchardlBt of the Hood River valley. "My attention was first called to the giants of the forost about fifteen yenrs ngo by L. Ferdinand Floss of Latour elle, who made a visit every summer to tho northwest bnse of Mount Hood. Mr. Floss at that time had a com munication In tho Oregonlan relatlvo to tho trees." Tho trees aro snld to bo several hun dred feet high nnd to stand on tho flat of n hidden canyon. Steep bluffs on either hand shut In tho gorge In which thoy rear themselves, and this reason Is given for failure of thoso who fish In tho Lost Lako district to havo found tho trees. Thero are two speclos of tho great trees. Ono has a yellowish nnd not very rough bark and Is straight and as round as a candle. It hn3 no limbs to a great height, and has a beautiful crown. Tho second species is cedar. TOMB SAFE FROM THIEVES Callfornlan Guards Family Sarcoph agus From Vandals Alarm Rings at Police Station. Los Angeles, Cnl.

How docs the man get the ring so the girl will bo surprised? Is It customary to use tho ring ceremony, nnd If so, who plnces the ring on finger, tho bridegroom or tho minister? Is It required thnt tho girl go to the court house to get tho llcenso with the man? Is tho little finger called the first finger? W. A. Tho engagement ring Ib placed upon the finger next to tho little linger on the left hand; it Is called tho "fourth finger," or wedding-ring finger. If a girl Is to bo engaged, nnd they generally nre asked tho moment ous question before tho ring Is pur chased, she should give you her meas ure, and It would bo better to nsk her whnt kind of n token sho pre ferred, as most girls havo their own IdenB ns to the kind of ring they like. The ring ceremony Is usually customnry, nnd tho clergymnn who porforms tho ceremony will give full Instructions as to how It Is done. I do not think It is necessary that the bride-elect should go to tho court house, but by a few questions nt tho license window you enn find out ac curately, ns laws vary In different states, and what Information I might give might not apply to your case. Tho first finger la next to tho thumb, although In use the thumb is called tho first finger, according to modern teaching. Concerning a Wedding. T hnve been reading your entertain ments for somo time past and havo found somo very entertaining things, so I nm going to nsk you to help mo by offering some suggestions for n wedding to take place the last of January. Is It necessary to havo ush ers n a church wedding and must tho brldo wear n veil? Rena. Ushers are necessary, for gucBts must be shown to seats 'nnd relatives will wish to be seated In the places reserved for them. I should say havo four or six, according to the size of church nnd number Invited. I always say wear tho veil, for It Is the last time In nil her life that a girl may wear this distinctive nrtlcle. which la so charming and typically bride like. To Entertain the Boys. Wo nre a girls club composed of twelve members and live In a small town. Last year our "especial boy friends" entertained us by giving a progressive party. This year we want to entertnin them. Most of tho boya nnd girls aro college students. Now wo wnnt your very best Idea of a plan to entertnin without having anything ns formal as a dinner party. Grateful Reader. Get busy the mlnuto you read this and have a leap year party, for It will bo your very last chance. I think you enn telephone each special boy that ho will be called for, then dance or piny cards and serve them nice refreshments. Garments for Wedding. What constitutes the proper cob tumo for a bride and groom at a noon wedding? May a veil be worn at that hour? Betty. Tho bride may wenr a veil with per fect propriety providing tho gown Is white. Personally, I am In favor of n brldo always wearing a veil, for never ngaln In her llfetimo may sho enjoy mis privilege, a street cos- tumo is equally proper at this hour. For tho bridegroom thero is this choice, a frock coat or ono of the lo'ng-tnlled cutaways, rather light trousers with a frock coat, four-ln-hand tlo, white, gray or a ranoy waistcoat. If thero nro any new wrinkles, a first-class habordashcr will glvo pointers on tho requisites. Sleeping Car Garb. Will you kindly tell mo if one Bhould removo all hor clothing when In a sleeping car? Inexperienced. Removo corsetB and phoes and pet ticoat and put on a dnrlc silk klmona or whnt tho Bhops call a Pullman robo, with a cap of silk to match. Then with soft slippers of kid, which como In a cuso, or onea of silk you nro rendy for a comfortablo night nnd will nlso bo presentable in caso of sickness or accident. Toast "To My Father." Somo timo ngo tho toast was asked for and a correspondent kindly sends it. Thank you, "Here's to tho deur one whoso sleep I disturbed as a baby, whoso spank ings I desorved as a child, whoso purso I havo always helped to empty, whoso benutiful and unselfish lovo Id ?ver mine.

Though Specialist May Do Much, It Remains With Ourselves to Over como the Real or Imaginary Defects. Mother Nature has been good to each ono of us, nnd if wo would only renllzu this fact wo would buvo our selves much unhapplness. To each ono sho has given somo degreo of beauty which should offset many de fects nnd causo us to accept' them without making ourselves unhappy. We are not always thankful for our blessings. Indeed, wo frequently lose bight of them entirely because wo nrt so busy grumbjlng over tho things which do not happen to suit our fancy that our vision Is obscured. Wo fall to make tho best of our good points because we spend all our time fretting over our real or imaglnnry defects. If wo aro in earnest In our deter mination to make tho most of tho beauty with which Mother Nature hns endowed us, our first effort should bo to acquire a oll-polsed mind a mind which Is not disturbed by the? small Irritations of every day life; a mind which is open to tho harmon ious things and closed to all that would causo inhnrmony. Nothing detracts from the fnce moro than a fretful look. Impatience and worry stnmp their marks upon the countenanco and wrinkle plnsters and massage creams aro almost pow erless to erndlcato them. Harmony and happiness lcavo their marks also, and where these marks nro found there Is seldom need for long-continued uso of beautifying treatments. There is need for tho work of tho beauty specialist in many, many cases. Creams and lotions havo their uses and we should not alight any of tho reasonable means for improving our looks. It Ib a duty we owe our selves nnd our families to make the most of our good features and Im prove In every way possible thoso which aro not up to our standard of beauty. Those aro plain duties, but lack of them all Ib a duty which should have our first and most seri ous consideration. That duty is to get rid of tho mental qualities which, only serve to obstruct our efforts toward Improvement. How shall wo go about making this change In our mentnl stage? It Is Impossible to glvo definite rules In such a matter. A few suggestions, will bo helpful, however. Ono of them Is. Btop worrying over things', which you cannot help. Do all you; can to Improve matters but do noL allow yourself to worry. It is the most useless habit you can get Into and nlso ono of tho most harmful In effect on both mind and body. Another suggestion would bo, avoid nagging nnd fretting as you would avoid n pestilence. These nro two of the worst of nil mentnl indulgences ns far as their effect on tho face is con cerned. Mnko your faco a beautiful ono because It reflects tho beauty ot a harmonious, well-poised mind, and such insignificant things as an ill shaped nose or a large mouth will not detract In tho slightest measure from tho real beauty of your countenance. Mentnl poise can bo yours with a little dally effort and It is worth, working for. It means happiness and health and beauty.. Happiness for tho homo and tho family and tho friends as well as health and beauty for yourself. Tourist Reader. You will not need bo long a list of toilet preparations: for use on that trip. I would certain ly suggest a good cleansing cream; and a tonic or lotion as well. A mas-i sage cream which will also answer for a foundation for powder. A bot tle of rosewator for uso instead of plain water, which is often an irritanb to a sensitive skin. A bottlo of oyo tonic, and a few other things, all ot which can bo neatly packed in a small toilet caso and which will be a great comfort to you, ns well as keep your complexion in flno condition. No chat go Is mado for any advlco from, this department, nnd you nro wel come to ask as many questions as you wish. Uusy nody. For very grimy hand use cleansing cream generously and thoroughly beroro scrubbing with soap and water. This will soften tho dirt, and It can bo moro readily re moved. If you will dissolve a llttlo baking soda In n bowl of quito warm wnter and Foak tho hnnds In this for flvo minutes after using tho cream you will soon bo ablo to got tho hands whlto. Uso a mild sonp. as very strong soaps mako tho skin rough nnd' tho dirt Is much harder to get out. Remember to rlnso tho hands always In clear water. Apply a llttlo cold cream Immediately after washing tho hnnds nnd beforo thoy are ontlrely dry, rubbing It woll Into tho skin. uouoitui. ualflness Ih not Incur. nblo. It docs not nlwnys yield tn. treatment, but with proper demising preparations, massago of tho scalp glvon sensibly and a good, stimulat ing tonic thoro Is no reason why nn turo should not do hor duty nnd start a growth of hnlr. An long as. there nro hair bulbs thoy nro capablo of being stimulated and nourished and coaxed to sprout now hair. Since you havo appealed to mo for help r, will adviso you to tho best of my knowledgo, but I will nood tho en, velopo you suggest sending In your noxt lotter.
