Tasmania's plant pest Is the sweet -

ed too much even for the goats, for
the hairy linings of the fruit killed
the animals. •
The biggest and most disastrous
blunder of its kind was the introduc-
tion of the prickly pear into Austra-
lia. It is said that an American girl
brought, a Butting from California tc
remind her of her old home.
To -day. 7,500,000 acres of Queens-
land and New South Wales are over-
run by the plant. In some districts
you can ride for hundreds of miles
without seeing a break in the dense
growth, and no one will hold land
on any terms in the pear country.
Scottish heather, planted in the
Toagariro National Park, in the
North Island of New Zealand, has
grown so thickly that it has become
a nuisance and the authorities are
grubbing it up. In the Argentine the
common Scottish thistle has given no
end of trouble, growing. to a great
height and covering huge areas of
prairie.
Just over thirty years ago someone
who admired the lovely bine of the
water hyacinth imported it from
South America Leto Florida. Within
five years the plant had choked near-
ly every river in the State, including
the great St. John's, the main artery
of water traffic. Big 1,200 ton,
steamers lay helpless, unable to sores
their way throukrh the dense masses
which turned the surface into a car-
pet of bloom. It took all the re-
sources of the United States Agricul-
tural Department to destroy the
plague. , ,
Even in England, says Answers, we
have had similar trouble, though not

Agricultural Countries.
Without much question Wester
Canada is the most progressive o
the agricultural- territories of th
globe in its methods of farming
Labor-saving devices have there been
brought to a high pitch of perfection
and are being continually improved
Manual labor has very largely been
eliminated from the various opera-
tions combining to the production of
grain, and to -day work of preparing
the land, seeding, harvesting and
storing is a matter of involved mach-
inery in which brain is more import-
ant than brawn. The high standard
of Canadian agricultural machinery
has resulted in the development of a
manufacturing industry which places
farm implements in nearly all of the
agricultural countries of the world.
The development of a horse-drawn
machine for cutting the grain, with
its later improvement in the form of
an elevator, a device for putting the
stalks in bundles, and finally the
binding apparatus, were all very pro-
gressive steps, and in the result it
was considered that almost all pos-
sible had been achieved in the way
of labor saving. This left the two
major manual operations, the collect-
ing of the sheaves into stooks for
drying and ripening, and the central-
izing of the stooks into stacks or
their transport direct to the thresher.
It Is to accomplish these that 50,000
men have to be brought into the
Prairie Provinces each fall.
A Whittington Souvenir.
Appropriate to the season is the
gift that Sir Charles Wakefield, the
London Alderman, hasjust- made to
the Guildhall Library. It is a deed
to which Sir Richard Whittington,.
"citizen and mercer of London," af-
fixed his seal.
Most of the relics of the immortal
hero of London's Lord Mayoralty and
of a thouaand pantomimes are legend-
ary, but. here is an authentic sou-
venir, and the vague lineaments trac-
ed on the seal are believed to be a
rough image of Whittingtdn himself.
In the deed we and W hittiugton
acting g as Receiver -General for Ed-
ward, Earl of Rutland andor
C k, a
prince of the blood royal, his col-
leagues in.. the receivership being a
knight of the county of Norfolk and
a cleric who was subsequently pre-
ferred by Henry Tv, as prebendary
at Windsor.
Ceylon.
Ceylon, an tiled south of facial
and like India a British possession,'
has an area of 25,480 'square 'miles.
It is, therefore, about four thousand
square miles larger than Nova Sco-
tia. The population exceeds four
millions.. The bulk of the people are
Sinhalese, descendants of a, taee of
northern India that conquered the
island inthe sixth century B,C,'Tbere
are also several mixed races. The
niaiority of the natives are Buddhists
in religion. The clitnate is tropical.
Tea., eoffee, and rubber are extensive -
1y cultivated. Colombo, the capital.
has a population of 155,000.
