Exeter Times, 1903-4-16, Page 2y1' A RAILROAD IN A DESERT' 'AUSTRALIA WILL RE CROSSED BY IRON RAILS. Gold Is Expected. to Make the Transcontinental Line Pay. Some time ago a map was nub- i,ished showing. the proposed routes .of two railroad lines across Aus- tralia from north to south. As was Subsequently announced, the Gov- ernment of South Australia has ad- vertised for tenders for the con- struction and working of one of these lines. It is the shorter and xnore western of the proposed routes an is to extend through the domain of South. Australia froth fort Au- gusta on Spencer Gulf to Port Dar- win, the best harbor on the north coast. Adelaide, the capital and chief port of South Australia, will then bp connected with Port Darwin by a coutlnuous rail route 1,896 .fifes in length. For aoout one-third of this dis- tance the road will utilize existing tracks, A railroad is already in op- eration between Adelaide, Port Au- gusta. and the little town of Oodna- datta over 500 miles northwest of Adelaide, and another road extends 145 miles from Port Darwin to the southeast to Pine Creek, in the heart of the mining region of the north. Between these two points is a gap of about 1,200 miles, the interior " dry lands, colored yellow on one of the best recent maps of the continent to indicate that sand prevails. It is the heart of the great Australian desert and it is now to be crossed by, iron rails. All the new track will be in this desert. It may seem strange to those who have not kept pace with Australian progress that any special value should be placed upon these lands, where scarcely five inches of ran falls in a year, scarcely one-fourth of the quantity that is required for profitable agriculture. 7.1:e fact is, however, that the Government be- lieves it can make these thirst lands pay for the building and equipment of the railroad. It desires to ltav the road built as a private enter prise. It does not propose to pu any of the public funds into its con struction. It is willing to give MILLION'S OF ACRES of desert to the company that wil build and operate the road and that is all. The Government advertisement stipulates that the project shall be carried out on the land-grant sys- tem. It says that the land to be granted shall not exceed 75,000 acres for each mile of road and that it shall be selected in alternate blocks on either side of the line. The grant is to be in fee simple with all the gold and other mineral thereon or thereunder. The line is to have a gauge of 8 feet 6 inches. The heart of this proposition is found in the words "gold and other minerals." Gold is there, and no mistake. Nobody knows how widely gold is scattered through the sands of the Australian desert; but various ex- plorers have found traces of it here and there throughout the great waste. The latest to report gold in these still utterly uninhabited re- gions are Maurice and Murray,'who last year crossed Australia from south to north just a little west of the line of the proposed railroad. They were not looking for gold, but in their report just published they tell of auriferous outcrops among the desert hills. Everybody who is interested in gold mining knows that the western extension of ,this desert, in the State of Western Australia, has for some years been turning out more gold than all the rest of the Continent together and that it is one of the largest gold producers in the world. It has far surpassed the fields of Victoria, which macre Australia fam- ous and brought to it an army of fortune hunters. Explorers have perished among those terrible wastes because they could find no water. No region had a more evil reputa- tion, and it was supposed to be one of the most worthless parts of the world. Then in 1885 the treasure these desert sands concealed was brought to light. To -day mining camps are scattered up and down this western stretch of desert from Coolgardie and Calgoor- 1ie in the south to the Kimberley district on the ocean to the north. THE MODEST BEGINNING of this gold industry was in 1886, when 302 ounces were produced. In 1899 these ilfggings placed Australia - ahead of the United States, for one year at least, as a gold producer. In 1900 these mines yielded 1,580,- 950 and in 1901, 1,881,756 ounces of gold. The tendency is still upward; it is found that water may'be ob- tained by digging for it, and rail- roads have pushed out into the des- ert to carry supplies to the ruiners. If we were to visit the central des- ert through which the railroad of South Australia is to cross the con- tinent, we might be surprised by its topography.Its nam s im- ply a seem to m ply that it is an unbroken level, a Rat expanse of sand. On the con- trary, it is an undulating land, with great flat-topped bills, the vestiges of a once continuous rock cap whose ruins have crumbled into the sands that cover the wide expanse; and here and there are scattered groups of mountains of the boldest aspect. It has been known for some years that this central desert region is by no means so devoid of potable water as was formerly supposed. The best maps of this region are now clotted with "springs" and ""wells." Last year Maurice and Murray discovered a splendid water thole which they named Thomas's Reservoir, and they estimate it to contain 1,000,000 gallons of water. They found a , number of other fine water sources, an:d, in fact, made their way across the continent Without suffering, though water was sometimes diffi- cult to get, The fact is that the Australians. are beginning to believe that their desert may be turned to very good account, after all; and so the pro- posed land -gr t i'• t railroad t i •h• 1 pntcce.f- G err .may he akything• butt ridiculous pr"opositiov:, TIE SPRING FEELING, Weariness, Lassitude incl a Desire • to ,Avoid Exertion. There aro few people who have not eXperienced what is aptly termed the spring feeling, Languor and weariness, loss of appetite, touches of indi„estion, pimples and irrita- tion o2 the skin, They all come with the spring. All these ills are banished by Dr, Williams' Pink £'ille. They enri'elt the blood, brace up the nerves, and chart. away all spring wear•ine s, Dr, Williams fink Pills are the best tonna medicine' in the: world. They niaice new, rich, reel blood; strengthen men and women and make therosesof health bloom on pallid cheeks. Hero is proof: Miss Catleerine ,Iohn,sfon, Gardner felines, N. B., says: "I was verb• mrieh run down, and so weak that I would fre- quently have to Ile down. My appe- tite was poor and food distasteful. I often suffered from i,eadacI:es, atul the least exertion left oto completely used np. 1 used a few boxes of 1)r. Williams' Pink Pills and since then I have felt like a rew person. I do not know of any medicine equal to these pillar:" In this climate a tonic is an abso- lute necessity its spring, and health will be gained and money saved by using only Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. Don't take a substitute or some- thing else said to be "just as good." If in doubt sena to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., and the pills will be .tailed post paid at 50 cents per box or six boxes for $2.50. AGE AND ITS POSSIBILITIES. Young Men. Not Only Ones Who Can Do Original Work. We speak of this as the age of young men. It is the custom in the English aruty to get rid ,of the older officers and promote the young men rapidly, because it Is• supposed that they are more efficient. says the Medical Journal. It not infrequent- ly happens in medical eehools that e the younger roux is given preference to the position, simply because the t younger than is supposed to be _worth more to the iustitution, on -Iaccount of the greater amount of original work that he is likely to perform. Indeed, it hus been said 1 that unless a man makes his mark before 35 years of age, he is unlike- ! ly to achieve much afterward. Age, ;'however, is merely a relative terns. ; It has been said often and is often forgotten. that one Aran is young at 80, while another is old at 30. There are so ninny illustrations that can be cited of green old men that it seems useless to lay stress upon this point. And yet, when we think of Kolliker and the enormous amount of original work that has appeared in his Gewebelehre, we must pause before vaunting too enthusiastically the advantages of youth. Another remarkable illustration Chas recently been furnished by von IlCupt'fer. 0. Hertwig requested him to write the article upon the de - e veloprnent of the central nervous sirstem for his new Ilandbuch der Entwickiungsgeschichte. des Zene- tralnevensystems, Von KuptTor under- took it, providing he was permitted to write the article as a result of his own original and independent observations. He was then 70 years old. ,In order the better to curry on his ,work, the resigned his teaching position at the university, spent five hours every day at the Ana- tomical Institute, and then devoted all his afternoons and evenings until midnight to his library and desk. He took no summer holidays, and was unremitting in his efforts. In two years the work was completed. It contained nothing old, nothing previously used, and discussed au- thoritatively an the questions then of the greatest interest to science. There are few young men who could have accomplished nearly as much • few young men who would have had the moral courage to neglect all other things for the one piece of work that they had undertaken. Let us not, therefore, speak too slight- ingly of the abilities of many years. Officer - "What is the complaint here?" Orderly (offering basin) - Taste that, sir."

The following note was recently re- ceived by an employer from an ab- sent workman: "Honored Sir - I am sorry to say I cannot say when I shall be well enough to be able to come back to work. The doctor says I have information of the left lung, which I hope will meet with your approval." f AN OPEN' LETTER TO MOTHERS We are permitted to make public the following letter, which is a fair sample of hundreds written n by mo- thers -thers throughout rout Canada praising Baby's Own Tablets: Dunbar, Ont., March 18, 1903. Several weeks ago my baby was very cross and ill owing to troubles common to children when teething. A correspondent highly recommended Baby's Own Tablets, Saying she would use no other medicine for her baby. I sent for a box, used them according to directions, anis must say that I have found them the best medicine for a teething child I have ever tried. One Tablet every other day keeps my baby well and I am were of'emy rest at night, I echo the words of my friend and say "they are just splendid." Mrs, Charles Willard. Baby's Own Tablets will cure all the minor ailments of children, and may be given with absolute safety to even a new born baby, These Tablets are the only medicine for children sold under an absolute guarantee to contain no opiate or harmful 'drug, Sold by druggists or sort 'by mail pont paid at 25 cerate a box by writing direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockville, Ont. I.QRD KI iCHENER'S WAX, An Instance of the Great Gen- eral's. Carefulness. No .tall ever kept Itis own counsel better than Lord Kitchener, when fighting was afoot. There was nev- er any leakage of information be- cause there was never any informa- tion to leak. -So writes a staff offi- cer in his account of "Campaigning with Kitchener" in lilackwood's, Ile gives an instance of the great gen- eral's carefulness. Once when the enemy threatened our line of communications I ex - pressen some anxiety about our wires, which. were laid, for all the world to see, as a ground -line along the desert, glistening in the sUn and bearing a meaning even to a der- vish, which is saying a good deal. Kitchener told Int to- ride down to the river bank and say if 1 felt hap- pier. ])own I went, and after dilig- ent search discovered a second wire cunningly laid under the •bush and sedges. As I was about to ride back 'I saw !tin'' oIT an<1 asked the a steamer pus i, young engineer officer on board what he eves about. It turned out that he had personal' instructions from Kitchener to lay a third line of telegraph on the other bank of the Nile, and no one in the army but the chief and this young ofllcer had wind of the platter. From an instinct of self-preserva- ton nobody ever slept with more than one eye shut when Kitchener was with the army. A sound sleeper was always in danger of finding him- self alone in the desert, and the army gone. This actually happened to a worthy'officer who was rather hard of hearing. Some one whis- pered, "Dervishes !" and the army marched softly away without beat of drum in the usual half-hour or less. The officer awoke, and in place of twenty thousand men. found no- thing living in sight except two - bald -headed vultures. i itc•hener's officers took their cue from their chief, and imitated his methods. Once a general officer was inspecting a post on the line of comniuh, ations, and duly arrived at the little but which represented the headquarters of the majesty of the army in some wind-swept hole. Enter X.. who, looking round, espies an office -table and two ticketed, "Business," the other, "Bosh," "]Excellent officer 1" purrs X. "Thoroughly understands his work and Kitchener's methods." But when he went further, and proceeded to examine the papers in the "Bosh" tray, he found that the documents consisted exclusively of his own voluminous orders and memoranda. .....1..

Notwithstand- ing this fact, Canada is by far the largest exporter of agricultural im- ?leutents in the world, her popula- tion being taken into consideration, During the past seven years the ex- ports of Canadian Implements have toadied the vast total of ten mil- lions of dollars, or equal to the ex- port of twenty million bushels of wheat grown in the great North- west at fifty cents per bushel. Those 'acts should certainly establish in the minds of all thinking farmers the excellent quality and the high eputation which appertain to Can - id Ian -made implements. Canadian niplements are exported to every sount.ry in the world where grain- is Grown, except to the United States. That market is a sealed book to Canadian implement manufacturers as well as to the Canadian farmer, 'or hardly any of his products find a market there, while the aggres- sive American is competing all over the world, and in Canada, too, for every inch of ground now hold by the Canadian farmer and manufacturer. Don't you think it would be to rour own advantage, as well as to the advantage of Canada as a na- tion, that articles should be grown and made eat home that are con- sumed by the Canadian people? Phials' the matter over, and see whe- ther it is not your 'duty to work for this ene DO YOU TUB -ROLL? The spectacle of a stout man bal- ancing himself face downwards across a tub which he rolls to and fro beneath him has an element of comicality about it. But this is the latest cure 'for fatness, and, more- over, is highly recommended as a form of athletic exercise, for develop- ing the muscles. The tub has, in consequence, become a recognized part of a gymnastic outfit, and in some gymnasia would-be athletes may be seen going through elaborate performances on casks. The exer- cises consist for the most part of lying face downwards on the chest across the tub and propelling it to and fro by the hands and feet. In this way, it is said, the muscles are developed in a style hardly possible in any other form of gymnastic ex- ercise. She (poetically) - "Isn't that sun- set glorious, Harold?

The next night. the square room, "the richest room. in the world," was guarded. But nothing happen- ed. Then came the next phase of the mystery. A heavy chest of securi- ties, taken from the strong room, arrived at the bank, with .a letter complaining that tho directors had notified - the police, and that the writer ha'd therefore not appeared, according to promise. Now, 'to prove that he was not a thief, he sent a chest of papers which he had taken from the bank. If a few gen- tlemen would assemble, without the police, in the strong z'oom,, the writ- er would join them at midnight. Otherwise, the mystery would con- tinue unsolved. The directors assembloj. At mid- night there came a cry from behind the stone walls, "Put out the lights!" They obeyed. Then a man with a dark lantern burst in. His story was soon told, Ide was one of those men who gain a living by searching the sewers at night. Through a sewer opening he hail found his way into the richestroom in the world.
