Australian i.ver°land Tedegr°a•:'h Being within four miles of the Over- land Telegraph—that backbone of the overland route—rarely a week was to pass without someone coming in, and at tines our travellers came In twos and threes; and as each brought news of that world outside our tiny circle, carrying in perhaps an extra mail to as, or 0110 out for us, they formed a strong link in the chain that bound us to the outside. Two hundred and fifty guests was the tally for that year, and earliest among them came a telegraph oper- ator, who—as is the way with tele- graphic operators out -bush, invited us to "ride across to the wire for a shake hands with the Outside"; and within an hour we came in sight of the tele- graph wire as our horses mounted the stony ridge that overlooks the War- lock ponds, when the wire was for- gotten for a moment in the kaleido- scope of moving ever-changing colour that met our eyes. For a moment we waited, spell- bound in the brilliant sunshine; then the doge running down to the water's edge, the gallahs,and cockatoos rose with gorgeous sunrise effect: a float- ing gray -and -pink cloud, backed by sunlit flashing white.

J Science Nearer Solution of "Eternal Youth" "Regent work has actually resulted in the growth of bone • and tissue artificially In test -tubes," Henry T. F. Rhodes said, in a lecture before the annual meeting of the British Associ- ation of Chemists, recently. Probably the day is not far distant when the man who bas lost an arm or a leg will be able, by the help of modern biologi- cal methods, literally to grow a new one. Biologists working in Vienah on certain beetles have, by transposing the heads of male and female, suc- ceeded in changing their sex. The fe- male took on the coloring of the male, and all the other male characteristics, while the male took on diose of the female. Such work indicates that the last word has not been said on this subject. Carbohydrates have already beer synthesized from carbon dioxide and water, both of which are present in the air, so that it seems possible that starch, sugar and even cellulose may ultimately he produced from the at mosphere, that is to say food and :rai- ment, since cellulose is the basis of is sometimes modified to suit the W rld Language 5 Believed Forming Many Expressions Now Are Used Universally, Ger- man Newspaper Points Out It is possible that world language some day may be evolved, not seem:, taneously but through a gradual in- terchange of words, the most ex- pressive and laconiof which will survive, says "The Cologne (Ger- many) Gelmany) Gazette." Many languages now define in a roundabout way what could be said in one or two syllables of a foreign tongue. Consider, for instance, the succinct worts "shopper" with the French or German equivalent which, in substance, consists of the 'verbose concept; "lady out to purchase ap- parel and accessories front various dry goods stores!" Such words as "sport," "smart" and "lipstick" already are interna- tional, as are "leader," "football" and "skyscraper," though the spelling artificial salt.

It must be confessed that on the continent English is the coming vogue, though for centuries that language has been correspondingly enriched with selections from other European tongues, such as "wuret,' "kindergarten" and "encore." In Germany, because there is no easy native counterpart for the English word denoting the placing of a mo- tor car, we now say "parking" and avoid alt the otherwise necessary circumlocution.
