A tour through the eastern Cana-
dian'piovitices. does not reveal the im-
mensity or the promise of the Domin?
ion. T'he same truth may be applied.
to Australia. Like our west, Western
Australia its separated: from the east-
ern states by vast expanses of coun-
try, once deemed desert. Much of it
can be used by pastoralists and, 'just
as discoverey of minerals is bridging
the waste between east I and west in.
Canada, so it maybe that the process
will be repeated in Australia.
It began that way when gold was
found at Coolgardie, now a• deserted
,town, Aid et Kalgoorlie,' But, althou-
- nes
gh since 1917 there Inas been a rail-
way link, development will be slower
than in Canada, for there is a corn-
petitive• sea route. Imagine ocean in-
stead of the U. S. boundary line link-
ing Winnipeg to Vancouver.
Nine -tenths ' of the Australians live
in the coastal belt 'of the southeast of
their huge island. Taking Adelaide as
the western buckle you are still • far
from halfway across. ° The Trans -Aus-
tralian railway links Port Augusta
(26o miles north of Adelaide) to Ka-
goorlie, r,o5r miles: west, The Western

We left Port Augusta at night and
so did not see the shallow salt lake
country or the fence of Wilgene, sta-
tion, which is 3,000 square miles—not
acres—in extent. Morning revealed

the,; line ,is dead straight :the ,world's'

keys between he stations', named: after
Commonwealth statesmen —Fisher,
Idughes, Deakin. ;A mile short of 600
from Port ,Augusta one ;conies to 'the
West Australian boundary. But, ifthe
plain- be wonderful, so• is our, train.,
The world was combed for ideas for
it. The result is' a carriage ten feet
wide on standard gauge, a lounge car,,
divided for,smokers and 'nen-smoke
ers, and in one of the divisions :a pi-
ano, furnished with bound mode, so
that sing -songs and evep dances can
be enjoyed en petite. And/ there is a
shower ,bath! Thercustom,of the land
in ' meals prevails. You get early
morning tea in your bei'ih, breakfast
(84c.), morning tea, lunch (84c), aft
ernoon tea, dinner ($1), and a coffee
afterwards. An engine of English
type hauls the long train, which ends
with a guard's van.
Morning found us in• Kalgoorlie af-
ter about forty hours' travel. Watches
went back ninety minutes. It was Sun -
clay and the labour onions objected to
men being engaged to show us the
underground workings, so we looked
over the surface works on the''"Gol-
den Mile." The ore is low grade now
and there is agitation for, a state sub-
sidy. Wood fuel is used. Water (ea
000,000 gallons a day) is pumped from
the great Mundaring weir, near Perth,
through eight stations and pipes laid
along the railway line for 35o miles to
Kalgoorle. While mining has declin-
ed, agriculture nearer the coast has in-
creased so that the water is fully util-
ized, ,
Here our Western. Australian fri-
ends incorporated Mani
toia
n poetry
in their welcome:—
"Out
elcome:"Out where the handgrip's_a lit-
tle stronger.
That's where the west begins."
It was a place of parting also, for
eight of the twenty-one oversea dele-
gates had here to . return to Adelaide
victims • of a senesless labour dispute
which had prevented their ship call-
ing at Perth.
Through sandalwood and flowering
eucalpts ("Christmas, trees") we car e
next morning into o Perth. In the' nits
ge
busy days which followed we saw a
good deal of the city and made two
expeditions -to the group settlements
and to the wheat belt. On the, night
of our arrival we retired, having at-
tended a government reception and

settlements in the southwest of the
state. Bylike'travelling we drove ,for
a day in the wheat belt, from' Bruce'
Rock, via -Emu Hill, to Narembeen.
Western Australia` was an importer of
wheat. State initiative has peopled
what were considered arid areas. The
part we saw produced nearly 2,000,000
bushels in 1924 against 28,500 in 191o.
The state produced 24,000,000 bushels
in 1924-3, average yield being 12.8
bushels per acre.
Here one saw rabbit -proof fencing
on.• prairie -like' land but, where fields
were left open, the edges p g s of the crop
were nibbled into for many yards.
Water is precious and is conserved in
"dams," Le., ponds scooped out of the
flat land to catch rainwater and drain-
age. Every sizeable rock is utilized
as a catchment area. One such reser-
voir was' roofed : over—for evapora-
tion takes many feet—and even had
safeguards to prevent wastage throu-
gh ripples by the wind.
Western Australia imports yearly
£I,000,000 worth of dairy products
from the eastern states.'Hence the
scheme to create a dairy district in the
wet southwest. In the wheat belt
there was light bush, but the groups.

Old Dobbin Has His Faults Tool
"Old Dobbin had his faults, but you
didn't have to pour hot water on him
to get, him started,"
No! But sometimes "Old Dobbin"
required a monkey wrench on his ear
to "get hint started!" Again, it often
happened that more than a good dri-
ver was needed to gee him stopped •a -
ter he got started to "run," ft was-
n't a case of "shutting off the gas," or
"closing the throttle." Dobbin's
"kick" was not at the front end, but at
the rear, and often was damaging to
both vehicle and driver after a "back-
fire." Also when Old Dobbin was
well "tired," "full of water", and all
"gassed up," his "lamps" were then
"dimmed," "spark" drmined, he had no spark'' or
"pep," and could not run a city block,
but would "lie down,"
When he ;went "dead," ano garage
mitt( could adjust his "works," end
ever get his started again. 'Nor could
his ";parts" be salvaged ".for further,

Loudspeakers And
The Human Ear
There has been "muchado" about)
the quality of loudspeaker reproduc-
tion dur,,tug the last year or so, and
many eminent engineers have devoted
considerable time and study to the
problem. Careful electrical measure-
ments have shown that the loudspeak-
er was a very imperfect piece- of ap-
paratus, and also that the ear was a
very poor judge of loudspeaker per-
formance.
An illustration of the faultiness of
the human -ear was provided recently
at a niecting of a British Radio So-
ciety. '.1'lie feature of the evening was
a test of the different loudspeakers
operated behind' a screen, the neem-
Urs votingi
a l
of o0 p. c. basis of effi-
cieecy.
The result of the bailot,was surpris-
ing, in that the verdict in a similar
test,' held, recently, was completely re-
versed. It was also obvious that in
certain individuals the sense o.f bear-
ing was incapable of distinguishing
toile -differences and changes in vol-
ume in speakers.
Scientific investigations of loud-
speakers have, however•, produced
wonderful :results within the last year.
In the writer's opinion, the improve-
tucrit in loudspeakers has boon the
otitstabding development of the year
in the radio: receiving,fi,eld.
