April 23, 1770, Captain Cook made England
a present of the great Island-continent of

they became the progenitors of some of

There Is plenty of sentiment In the

Into right channels. The world's heed Is
rather the ballast of practical common

is better and more profitable for the cul

percritical woman stultifies herself.
She forms the habit of studying life
through a microscope. She becomes a
fault hunter. The best definition I have
ever heard of a friend is that he Is one
who, In and out of the season, wishes
you well. That Is a good attitude to
take toward life, toward' poople, toward
tho world, of wishing them well.
The difference between tho magnetic

From that lime the progress In every

But there Is nothing tho matter with
the blood and brain of the men of Aus

full of fire and energy. Ambitious, de

of the Australian Is as clear as the sky

a land where men know how to think,

of the great social and economlo problems
that are vexing the children of .men the
Australians are ahead of the world. They

By GARRETT P. BERVlSB
A correspondent asks whether it Is truo,

constellation Andromeda I ln reality an

shores of our uni

and .awarm of
worlds. And, If
nnybody believe
this la so, he would
like to know why,
It will help to
make the answer
clearer If we first
consider the appearance of the Andro
meda nebula.
Tho naked eye can Just glimpse It on
n dark night like the merest speck of
luminous smoke. An opera glass, ns
above sold, shows It In tho form of n
glimmering spindle. A powerful tole-
pcopo reveals It as an elongated glowing
cloud, the brightest part of which Is at
leant twice an long nx the full moon Is
broad when seen with tho naked eye.
Two dark rifts sown to partially divide
It lengthwise, and b small round nebula
shines, like a little (ittendant, off at one
side. The condensed parts' have a spark
ling nppcarnnce, like frosted silver.
A marvellous transformation takes
pliire when a photographic plate Instead
of the eye Is exposed at the focus of n
telescope pointed at the Andromeda
nebula,
In the photograph the glowing cloud
appear In the form of a grent Irregular
central mass, surrounded by several moro
or less broken rings, alt of which ar
seen sloplngly, an that they look like long
ellipses. The npprnronce I as If the
whole nebula wero In whirling motion,
like a gigantic cyclone of fiery clnujls,
and the rlns.ii seem to bo flying asunder.
Ilefore going further, something should
be said about the probable size or thin
wonderful object. Home observers have
reported that they could trace Its faint
extensions over a space four degrees In
length, or eight times the breadth of the
full moon. In ordor tp bo wall within
the truth, however, let us assume thar
the length of the brighter portion Is only
one degree,
Now, the actual size of an object which
appears one degree broad depends upon
it distance from the eye. We do not I
know the distance of this nebula, but
we have the best reason for helleylng ,
that It cannot be less tnan iw ugiu-year

Now, what Is the Andromeda nebula?
To tho eye it resembles other nebulae,
which we know are composed of gaseoun
matter not yet condensed Into stars. But
