ISLAND OF
TASMANIA
Tasmania la probably tho most neg
lected while at tba same Uraooneofths
most attractive of all tlie British Aus
tralian colonics. The ttl area con
tain 16,TT8,0O0 acres, of which one
fourth only 1ms been alienated. There
are still llv8W,4flO aerea is the island,
generally speaking, whoso forests have
never heart! the ring of the woodman's
nx, or whose sod haa never been up
turned by the farmer's plow. This iel
an1, itti ita virgin soil ami healthful
ollmate, will ultimately play an import
ant part in the world's eommeree, for
the reason that its location, nkhotigtt
isolated is still sufficiently favorable to
venire a commanding position in the
trade of Australasia audi UieMaade of
the Pacific
The elimata is healthy am) eonfenial.
The winters are warntor than those of
England, and snow sellout alls except
at high altitudes. Tho summers nro
hot, although loss oppressive than thoso
in Australia, and tho air is dry and
raroly sultry. Tho rainfall varios great
ly at different seasons of the year. On
the north coast it is from elgkteon to
thirty inches. Tho woet and south
ooaets are always very wot. On the
whole the climate of Tasmania is so
pleasant that many peoploin Australia
go there every gear to escape the heat
ami dust of the continent. The een
tral parts of the leland are at an eleva
tion of 1000 to 3000 feet, and it is easy
to get a considerable change of climate
by traveling a short dlstanee. Upon
these upland' districts are large lakes
which feed waterfalls ami swift running
streams, which are dostlned one day to
be a source of vast weaUh for industrial
Tasmania is nearly a large m Ire
land, and is divided into 18 aunties.
The island abounds la good timber, ami
the lands are excellent for agricniturul
purposes. Some parts arc heavily tim-
wintninn soma valuablo cold and tin!
mines, which aro being workod with
profit. Launccston, tho chief town in
northern- Taemanla, is eonnootod by a
direct line of steamers with Melbourne
and Sydney. Oa the west coast the
country is broken with high mountains
and traveling is impraotioable. These
difficulties, however, aro being over
come by an extension of railways and
by building roadways through primeval
forests.

Sir O. Scott Moncrleff recently mad
an address before the British. Associa
tion for the Advancement of Science,
in which he dealt with the problems of
irrigation. Among" other things he
said:
"It is c'ldent that there are many
serious considerations to be taken into
account before entering on any large
project for irrigation. Statistics must
bo carefully collected of rainfal), of
the source of water sujly available
and of the amount of that rainfall
whieh It is possible to More and utilise.
The water should bo analysed if there
is any danger of U being brackish,
Its temperature should be ascertained.
It should be considered what will be
the effect of pouring water on the soil,
for it Is not always an unmixed ben
efit. A dry climate may be changed
into a moist, and fever and ague may

of hcavj black soil which with tho or
dinary rainfall produce excellent crops
nine years out of ten, ami where Irriga
tion would rather do harm than good.
But in the tenth year tho mine fall,
and without artificial Irrigation the soil
will yield nothing. So terrible may be
the misery caused by that tenth year
of drought that even then it might pay
a government to enter on a scheme of
irrigation. But it is trident that it
might not pay a joint stock company.
In all cases t is of tho first import
a nee to establish by law the principle
that all rivers or streams above a cer
tain else are national property, to be
utilised for the good of the natlonv
Bven where there is no immediate In
tention of constructing Irrigation works
it is well to establish this principle.
Otherwise vested rights may be allow
ed to spring up, whieh it may be nec
essary in after years to buy out at a
heavy cost."
The large extent of ntodern irriga
tion works ami the complex industrial
conditions by which titey are surroundr
ed raises them above the level of or
dinary commercial nmlertakinge and
places fakcm oa a piano which demand)
that they shall bo placed under nor
eminent control, In Italy Important
works were originally undertaken by
private enterprise, hot those were aub
sequenUy taken over by the govern
ment, upon tbe failure of the original
syndicate to conduct thorn successfully.
In the United States there are great
reclamation undertakings now being ex
ecuted by the national government, ami
in general it seems to be conceded that
such idan are too closely connected
with the general welfare of a sown try
to be governed by strict commercial
considerations, but fall rather into the

Nearly everybody knows that char
rial is the safest and most ofllelent
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realise its value when taken into
the human system for (he name cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of It the better; It is net n
drug at all, but simply absorbs tho
gases and ImpurltlM always preceat
In the stomach and Intestines and ear
rlM them out ef the nyitem.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking er after eating
onions or odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually el earn and im
proves the complexion, It whitens the
teeth and further acts at a natural
and eminently safe eatkarUe.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect la the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the meutk and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one
form or anatker, but probably the
lst charcoal and (he most for the
money U Stuart's Charcoal Leaeages;
they are composed of ike Unset pow-
d-rd willaw charcoal, and other harm

i'be daily we of these loaeagea will
tell in a much improved condition of
ithe general kealth, better complexion, j
sweeter breath and purer blood, and
, the beauty af It it, that no neJsslUo'
I Imrm can result from their continued
I use, but oa the contrary, great baaent.
A Buffalo physician speaking af tho
benefits ef charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuatt's Charcoal Loaoagea to all
patients suffering (ram gas in the
stomach and bowels, and te clear the
complexion and purify the breath,
mouth and throat; I also believe the
liver la greatly benefited by the dally
use of them; they coot but twenty!
five cents a box at drug stores, and
although ia some seaoe a patent prep-'
aratioa, yet I believe I get more and
better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal
Lounges than ia any ef the ordinary
, charcoal tablets."
