There are such rivers in Australia. This is a scene in the State of New South Wales. Sydney is the shipping center of Australia, and New Castle the coaling port. Throughout coastal Australia the country is rich in orchards. Mt. Kosciusko, Australia's highest mountain, as seen in winter and an Australian fern gulch as seen in the springtime. America's big trees are only exceeded in height by a few in Australia, but these do not approach the girth of the American giants of the forest Throughout Canada, the Pacific North-West, there are views such as these, the holiday grounds of North America. In the interior of French Indo-China one stumbles on the ruins of ancient temples, such as the one ,depicted here. A bit of Indian architecture, the main street of Jaipur and its stately edifice. These are Pacific Mail Trans-Pacific steamers arriving at and departing from the company pier in Honolulu. The Chinese port is always crowded with shipping and the waiting coolie who is the bearer of burdens. In the Philippines and throughout the South Seas the coconut palm is a source of revenue and a thing of beauty to the eye. This series of pictures shows the process of gathering tea in Japan. In Japan the untutored coolie becomes a ricksha man and the humble man of learning a public scribe. One thinks of Japan as ever the land of cherry blossoms and fairy-like adventure.

This better warmed ; that the sun is very day is the point where eternities meet, large compared with the earth, and very of the future. Eternity is a long while, small compared with most of the other the eternity of the past and the eternity suns. I may concede while life has then another long while.
