MELBOURNE IN
HE YEAR 1835
One of A list rul la's colonists, a veter
AU of ninety yours, lias Just published
his reminiscences. Whllo walking up
George street, Sydney, In 1835, he
beard n bellman announcing the first
sale of allotments In the new town
ship of Melbourne. He went Inside.
The auctioneer proclaimed the merfU
of this new township and predicted
that it would bo a Krand city some
day. "Yes, a city of kangaroos," inter
jected a scotting spectator. Hardly a
bid could be elicited. A few years later i
the gold discoveries did rapidly con- I
vert the township of Melbourne Into a
great city, and the lucky people who
had bought allotments for $100 or $150
found their value Increased to $100,
000, $150,000 and In some cases even
$250,000.
In one of Ills letters Von Itulow re
fers to Sara sate as follows: "He has
enchanted me beyond measure, par
ticularly In his concert of yesterday,
wliAi he played a splendid work,
'Symphonic Kspagnole,' by I.alo ?
played In so genuinely artistic a man
ner tliat today 1 aui still lutoxlcatcd
with It. His playing also of the Saint
Saens concert piece for violin Is as en
trancing as Interesting. It Is a shame
that he cannot come to see me. X. 11.
?I have purposely avoided his person
al acquaintance. Perhaps he has tried
to see me, for over my door stands the
notice:
"MornlnK*? not to be *een.
Afternoons- -not at home.
"But perhaps lie did not ring the
bell. (He never plays under 1,000
francs? he received this sum here at a
private muslcale.) For secretary he
has Otto Goldschmidt. who sent me a
pass, which 1 returned with the re
mark that for such an Important con
cert I could certainly afford to buy-my
ticket. Six marks was In no way too
much to pay."
Itulow did make his acqualutance,
however, as lie refers Iti a later letter
to Samsate coming, quite unexpected
ly, to a "conference with Johannes"
(Brahms), at which he himself was
present
SALT LAKES
The Great Stilt lake Is gradually dry
ing u|>. and the inhabitants of Salt
Lake City seem quite surprised. They
ought not to l>e. All salt lakes owe
Ihelr salinity to the fact of their hav
ing no outlet, antl a lake without nil
outlet Is a dying lake.
Nor Is death usually long delayed,
speaklug geologically. Lakes Koko
Nor and Lob Nor were undoubtedly
extensive Inland seas uot bo very uiauy
decades ago. yet Sven Ucdln found
them reduced to mere acrid puddles
set In the tuldst of well ulgh limitless,
salt deserts that once were their beds.
The terrible Taklamakau desert, too,
In which lledlu nearly died of thirst,
was oneo the bed of Just such a lake.
So also were the salt deserts of Persia.
Northern Tibet Is studded with salt
lakes In process of desiccation. The
Aral and the Caspian seas were at one
time far more extensive than is now
the case, proving that they, too, are un
dergoing the inevitable process of des
iccation to which all such bodies of
water ore sooner or later Invariably
subjected. Si. l'aul l'ioueer Press.
THE POLE STAR
Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are
known also as the triones and as the
Creator Wain and the I.esser Wain. It
Is curious to note that the larger con
stellation was given the tlgiire of the
boar by the Arabs and by the Iroquois
red men. The assumed forms are or
dinarily fanciful, and the Identity of
the names in this instance affords food
for speculation. Homer uses both bear
ar.d wain (wagon) in bis references to
these stars It Is evident that the
name bear was a translation from
s< in** original Aryan language, as the
(?ouslell.illoii is called In Sanskrl'
rK.slia, a ?void thai in different gen
d. rs means Uitti a I tear and a star.
ecursc polar star In the tall of t'rs
Minor Is the constellation's point o.
glory. In this ta r we may say falrlj
that the tall wags the dog. because the
sroiip of stars was once ealhd the
dog's tall, nr cynosure. From that w?
have our word cynosure, that lowani
which all eyes turn, as to the dog's
tail for sight of the pole star. Mlnne

TIPS
A group ofwotflen were standing In
the corridor of n summer hotel when
an aged scrubwoman started upstairs
with a pall of water. Just then a
bright faced, buxom Irish chamber
maid came up.
"This looks purty heavy for the likes
of ye." she said cheerily to the old
woman. "Better let me help."
She took up the paid Rnd whisked oft
upstairs with It.
"How thoughtful of Nora!" "Isn't
she kind?" and similar expressions
rose to the lips of the women. The
proprietor of the hotel and another
-man also witnessed the Incident.
"Clever girl, that Nora," said the
hotel man to his companion. "She's
always doing something like that when
there are people looking on. She gets
more tips than any two other girls In
the house. She could afford to pay me
for the privilege of working here.
Every summer she makes enough to
spend the winter In Idleness at her old
home In Ireland."? New York Tribune.
HE JAP GAME
OF SHI
s
A letter from Japan publlshea In a
German paper says: "When one sees
how popular the game of shogl Is here
It Is easy to understaud the superiority
of the Japanese as strategic officers.
The game Is played on a board and Is
In some respects like chess, hut It has
so many peculiarities that It Is a thing
In Itself. Each player has twenty
pieces. The direction In which they
move Is Indicated by arrows on the
top or smaller end of the pieces. A
captured piece Is not laid aside, but
becomes the property of the captor
and Is Impressed Into his service. Tills
Is characteristic of tho people, who
know so well bow to utilize the works
and Ideas of others. Another feature
of the game Is that when a piece suc
ceeds In crossing Into the enemy's ter
ritory its value becomes Increased, and
Its Identity as to superiority Is estab
llshed by revecslug It. turning It on Its
head. Despite the complicated situa
tions the rudiments of the game are
easily acquired, and hence Its popular
ity."
