Shackleton's Antavetic expedi- 'of the New South Wales coastline, 4 and narrower, and the land surface PROFESSOR SAYS AUSTRALIA IS SLOWLY DISAPPEARING. Prof. David of Sydney University Says That Eastern Coast Line of Island Continent Is Subsiding-- Peaty Formations Not Yet Fossi- lized Are Found Below the Sea, Showing Fall Took Place Recently. Prof. David, who holds the chair of Geology and Physical in Sydney University, and is at present enjoying a holiday in company with tion, is a man of many unorthodox ideas, and among them is one to the effect that the eastern coast line of the Somined wealth; including the New out es is, is grad slipping into ry Ocean. It appears, says The Globe, that some few months ago the Government of that state had a test cylinder sunk in Sydney Harbor with )a view to aseer- taining the nature 6f the formation on which will rest the piers intended to support the proposed bridge to con- nect the $wo opposite shores. The pro-. fessor descended the cylinder to a depth of 90 feet below highwater mark, where he found the formation to consist' of peaty material--stems, leaves, and seeds of plants--intermix- ed with a tough unctuous clay. This was at a depth of about 40 feet below the bed of the harbor. From the har- bor bottom down to the level reached by Prof. David, the deposits econsist- ed principally of sand, with marine shells, The peaty formation was not fossi- lized, and eould not have been more than a couple of thousand years old. The professor thinks it probable that when the peaty material was laid down the harbor was much shallower than at present. Evidence in favor of this view has been afforded by the results of - Investigations in other perts of the harbor, and at different places on the coast. In boring for coal a few miles north of Sydney peat beds were encountered about 20 feet below sea level. When sinking for the foundations of the great railway bridge . across the Hawkesbury river, trunks of large trees were met with at a depth of about 70 feet below sea level. Further north, during the sinking in connection with the Hum- ter river delta collieries, near New- castle, a large amount of woody ma- terial and coarse river gravel, was pussed through at depths, in places, of considerably more than a hundred feet below sea level, the material marking the former level of the old valley before~the submergence took plac 3, 1 At Fingal's Bay, Port Stephens, north of Newcastle, beds of peat can be traced down to the low-tide level, dipping considerably thence; while bores for coal in the vicinity have passed through a bed of peat 100 feet below sea level. In cutting a canal in one of the creeks in Sydney Har- bor;~ a submerged forest of large honeysuckle trees, together with a bed of peat, was found at a depth of 15 feet below highwater level. A remark- able circumstance in connection with the discovery was the finding of a couple of aboriginal stone tomahawks in the peat, showing that the work of submergence must have taken place within a comparatively recent period. All this evidence, according to Prof. David, points to the fact that there has been, in recent geological days, a subsidence of a considerable portion amounting tp something like a couple of hundred feet. "This," he says, "has admitted the waters of the Pacific Ocean to the old land valleys, and thus the great estu- aries, such as Broken Bay and Port Halking, and harbors like Port Jaek- son snd Botany Bay, are simply what American geologists term 'drowned valleys." This raises the question as to whether the work of submerg- ence is still going on. But the evi- denee on this point is somewhat sean- ty. At Largs, on the Hunter river, there are extensive beds of marine shells, of reeent origin, elevated 15 feet above sea level; and' in some parts of Sydney Harbor incrustations of oyster-shells are frequently met with at a distance of 10 feet above high-water mark. The difficulty im making observations and calculations extending over a number of years con- siste in the facet that the sea level is not. an unalterable quantity. The constant shrinking of the earth, ow- ing to its cooling. is supposed to have the effect of making the oceans deeper more extensive. In the course of his remarks Prof. David explained that if there should oceur, by any phenomenal change, such a rise of temperature-in the Are- tie and Antarctic regionsas would con- vert the ice collected there into wat- er all the low-lying portions of the New Bouth Wales coast would become submerged. The ice-bound regions, representing about one-fortieth part of the surface of the globe, hold suf- ficient ice, if melted, to raise all the oceans: of the world several feet. Such a contingency is, however, unlikely, by reason of the eart hbecoming cool- er instead of warmer. But a theory has' been raised as to whether the slipping away of the New South Wales coast is not in some measure due to the gradual moving of a "fold" in the earth's crust, which is visible in the geological strata in portions of the coastal side of the Blue Mountain ranges. This view of the matter is being carefully investigated. Mean- while, it has been pointed out that when there are lsege accumulations of flood waters in the bed of the Ne- pegn river, the upper part of the Hawkesbury, their weight causes a disturbance in the land level, which is distinctly noticeable in the instru- ments at the Sydney Observatory, and which disappears as the floods sub side.

Lord Strathcona Declares Tt is' Per severance and Good Credit. What is the secret of success? Lord Strathcona has expressed his views on the subject recently for The Stand- ard. : Giving evidence in the Federal Court at New York in' the United States Government's. suit for the dissolution of the Standard Oil Co., which organization has 'made him the richest man in the world. Mr. John D. Rockefeller, on being asked the question: "What was the secret of .your success?" replied: "We al. ways had credit, we kept out of con- venants, and we paid on our paper." "I think Mr. Rockefeller is right, said Lord Stratheona. "Mr. Rocke- feller, by credit, does not mean only money trust--hes means the readiness to oblige, which'is aroused in all men by strong and reliable characters. I think he is right, decidedly. "What the message does not men- tion is Mr. Rockefeller's perseverance and his ability of seeing what not to undertake. "Tell your young men and young women readers to keep perseverance before them every moment of their lives and to proeeed slowly and sure- ly. Opportunity comes to some more frequently than to others. - There are very few whom it does not visit at all. You have got to be ready for it, If you are not" prepared, that's your fault. Work steadily for improve. ment, but don't gamble for it. De- pend on your own efforts and.don't wait for your friends." im :, "Their Tinerwork, The Old Spelling-Match. The spelling-maseh, once the favor- ite arena of local learning in Canada, and the winter entertainment of many a couptryside, has almost entirely disapped?ed. Perhaps country folk of today cam spell as correctly as did their fathers and mothers, and much better than the average resi- dent in city or town, but it is-cer- tain they do not gét as mueh fun out of their knowledge of orthography as did the country folk of a~generation ago. Then evening after evening throughout the long winter was spent in these battles ower the words, the spelling team of ome school being arrayed against that .of another, and the contest aroused as much interest in the locality as a hockey match does to-day. The boy or girl (and it was usually the latter, for on the average the girls are better spellérs than the boys), who "spelled down" the school, or who stood, up last in one of these district matches, was the. hero of the hour and the wonder was "that one small head could carry all he knew." While these spellingamatches ap- pealed to the sporting spirit' and to local pride and rivalry somewhat as athletic games do, it cannot be de- nied that they also appealed to the intellectual side and possessed valu- able educational qualities. In the Muskrat Cities. The quel oddly-shaped houses of the muskrats present a peculiar ap- pearance .along the banks of the Otonabee river in Peterboro County. In practically all the weed beds and marshes the muskrats are plentiful, and their funny houses, unusually high above water, are to be seen along the shores, like trusses of hay. They alinost resemble bee-hives, excepting that they are roughly finished in the erterior with protruding ends of rdshes and marsh weeds. They are rounded on top, the rats gaining en- trance from underneath. They are well made and warmly lined. In these the rats live through the win- ter, feeding on what they find under the water.

Miss Binnie: that as the need of the W is 'wo men, the way. to get them is to en- courage them in this way. And she says: "As against all the male immigrants you have known to turn out failures, have you ever heard of an English woman immigrant fail- ure?" Miss Binnie-Clark is herself an English woman, and is making a suc- cess of farming in the West. Al though this year has not been a very good one in her vicinity, she is able to pay off $1,000 on her land, besides having enough seed wheat for 100 acres next year, and enough produce to meintain her household until spring. ~ She has only been in Sas- katchewan three years and when she went she did not know barley from outs. This enterprising woman-farmer writes to The Canadian Gazette, of London, to urge that the Canadian Government encourage other English women to come out and do the same. She has had a number of inquiries from women, with some capital, who would like to make the experiment, sud her suggestion is that twelve quorter-sections should be granted an- nuelly for three years to English wo- men selected and approved by Mr. Obed Smith on behalf of the Cana- dian Government, and let the result show whether there is a real need and a way of meeting it. ANOTHER FAKER. Arthur Stringer Is Out After Emerson Hough's "The Warrant." Arthur Stringer will now include Emerson Hough and The Smart Set in his list of Canada fakers. That magazine, in announcing as one of ils features for December a story by Mr. Hough dealing with the Canadian West, says: "Canada has become, in the past few years, a favorite field for Ameri- can novelists, who find in its historic features, its Old World leanings and its glistening, exhilarating winter life a constant source of inspiration. Emer- son Hough, in his latest story, "The Warrant," published in the: r Smart Set, has passed by the interést- ing St. Lawrence region' of Canada and has written a strong romance of the bleak ' northwestern wilderness, where Doukhobors and Galician immi- grants drag out their narrow lives, their. hard, sordid monotony, broken only by occasional prying expeditions on the part of the Northwest Police. Out of this unromantic material Mr. Hough. has evolved a magnificent story, which forms one of The Smart Set's features for the month." +The story is a good story in Yiany ways, but the foregoing announcement about as much about Canada, east and west, as do the producers of such alleged Canadian plays as "Pierre of the Plains," ete. 3 Late Dandelions.
