At the 1919 Exposition in Hawaii this and many other corners from Japan will be reproduced and peopled by those resident in Hawaii from the "Land of the Rising Sun." •:* This is a bit of old Hawaii; it might be a lowland section of the Expo- sition grounds of 1919 in Honolulu, for here, in the midst of the native taro, will once more spring up and be peo- pled, a real Hawaiian grass house village. From West Australia the Million Club of Perth is expected to send to the Honolulu 1919 Pan-Pacific Exposition some of the aboriginal sons of Australia, that the village life of the native Aus- tralian may be reproduced for historical study. There is a Siberian colony in Hawaii, and on the grounds of the 1919 Exposition it will reproduce not only the log houses of Asiatic Russia, but a miniature Russian cathedral that will be used for services during and after the Exposition. Old California Mission life is to be a feature of the 1919 Pan-Pacific Exposition in Honolulu. There is a large colony of Californians in Hay aii, among her leading citizens, and they will see to it that the great Pacific State is well represented. Eiji has promised that her native sons will take part in the 1919 Pan- Pacific Exposition at the Cross-roads of the Pacific, and here will be built a native village to house the war- riors from South of the Line. There is direct steamship service between Hawaii, Peru and Chile, and through the Pan-American Union, efforts will be maae to r - produce the native life of the Peruvian Indians at the 1919 Pan-Pacific Exposition in Honolulu. The American Indian will be seen at the Pan-Pacific Exposition in Honolulu in 1919. The native cliff-dwellers of the Pacific Coast country will build their dwellings in the precipitous places on the Exposition grounds and live as did their forefathers in Arizona and the Far West. The Mexican has also promised to bring his family to create a Mexican village at the 1919 Pan-Pacific Exposition in Honoluu, and it is pro- posed to reproduce at least one of the ancient Aztec palaces the ruins of which have made old Mexico loved by Antiquarians. There are two streams flowing through the proposed 1919 Pan-Pacific Exposition grounds in Honolulu, and about one of them might well be reproduced a bit of "Chinese native life, for there are 20,000 sons of China in Hawaii, who still love their native customs. There are more than ten thousand Filipinos in Hawaii. Many wear the native dress of the tribes to which they belong, and there will be a picturesque village at the 1919 Pan-Pacific Exposition in Honolulu, for native customs will be preserved. The Portuguese of Hawaii number 20,000. Macao, in China, is still a Portuguese colony, and it is hoped that its ancient cathedral will be reproduced by the Hawaiian Portuguese at the 1919 Pan- Pacific Exposition in Honolulu, as their reception hall. Ilhwaii can almost reproduce on its 1919 Pan-Pacific Exposition grounds the wonderful botanical gardens of Java, and it is aimed to attempt this on a small scale, and perhaps plant also a native Javan village on the grounds. The Maoris of New Zealand speak a tongue understood by the Hawa- ians. After a thousand years they are, it is hoped, to have their villages side by side, and at the 1919 Pan-Pacific Exposition in Hawaii may be made some wonderful studies of these two kindred races of the North and South. There are Hawaiians still who inhabit the ancient native grass house, and on the 1919 Pan-Pacific Exposition grounds in Honolulu, near the very spot where the still living ex-Queen lived as a child in a grass mansion and leaped over the Waikahalulu Falls, ftithlittritir filagazittr CONDUCTED BY ALEXANDER HUME FORD VOLUME XII.

Frances Johnston August 2005 FORWARD “In a small section of the garden a tiny weed spoke to the blooms that grew there. ‘Why,’ he asked, ‘does the gardener seek to kill me? Do I not have a right to life? Are my leaves not green, as yours are? Is it too much to ask that I be allowed to grow and see the sun?’ The blooms pondered on this, and decided to ask the gardener to spare the weed. He did so. Day by day the weed grew, stronger and stronger, taller and taller, its leaves covering the other plants, its roots spreading.

The Australian Alps get more snow than the Swiss Alps While many people visit Australia for its brilliant beaches and year-round sunshine, the Australian Alps, straddling New South Wales and Victoria, are a mecca for skiing enthusiasts. Snow usually falls between June and September, meaning Australia is the perfect place to get your skiing fix during the northern hemisphere summer. Thredbo and Perisher are two large resorts near Canberra, the latter being the largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere. Blue Cow Mountain is one of the 1 most popular areas, with a vast range of accommodation and runs as well as stunning views across the Alps. 2. 90% of Australians live on the coast The large deserts of central Australia mean that the vast majority of the population live on the shores of this enormous country.

  • Erosion Control in the High Alps
    EROSION CONTROL IN THE HIGH ALPS 1 by P. A.

Snow.r Mountains. A maintenance programme is continuing, but ~-~imary stabiliv.ation of eroded areas has been achieved. This c•rticle reviews t~e work of over two decades. t- INTRODUCTION The mismanagement of the environment by man often leads to disastrous effects - one of the moat serious being erosion, the accelerated loss of soil. One such area where extensive erosion damage occurred was the alpine area of the Snowy I Mountains. Deterioration anddestruction of the vegetation I by fire and grazing lead inevitably to serious erosion. The extent of the damage was outlined in surveys carried out by Costin (1954), Durham (1956-59), Taylor (1957-58) and Morland (1958-59). As well, Greenup (1964) carried out a detailed erosion survey.

  • New Australian and Australian State Lichen and Lichenicolous Lichen Reports
    J Hattori Bot. Lab. No. 90: 269- 291 (July. 2001) NEW AUSTRALIAN AND AUSTRALIAN STATE LICHEN AND LICHENICOLOUS LICHEN REPORTS 1 2 3 4 D. ALLEN , H. T. LUMBSCH , S. MADDEN AND H. SrPMAN ABSTRACT. Based on recent acquisitions of the Australian National Herbarium since 1982, mainly the collections of J.A.Elix and H.Streimann, new distribution data are presented for 162 species. This includes 31 species new to Australia: Acarospora reagens, Co/lema fragrans, Cyphelium australe, Dictyonema ligulatum, Dimerella pineti, Diploschistes farinosus, D. gyrophoricus, Dirinaria compli­ cata, Heterodermia isidiophora, Hyperphyscia pruinosa, Megalospora atrorubicans ssp. atrorubi­ cans, Myriotrema bahianum, M. compunctum, M. terebratulum, Ocellularia aurata, 0. berkeleyana, Ochrolechia africana, Opegrapha .filicina, 0. phylloporinae, Peltula marginata, Physcia dimidiata, Porina sphaerocephala, Porpidia cinereoatra, Pyrenula corticata, Pyxine cylindrica, Thelotrema platysporum, Thyrea confusa, Trapelia involuta, Trichothelium triseptatum, Trypethelium aeneum, Umbilicaria nylanderiana. Most of these are tropical taxa, found in Queensland. The other species are newly recorded for one or more Australian states. Seventeen years have elapsed since the last significant report (Elix & Streimann 1982) of new lichen records based on collections held at the Cryptogamic Herbarium of the Aus­ tralian National Herbarium (CANB). However, interesting and significant finds have been reported by various authors in revisions and in the Australasian Lichenology (formerly Australiasian Lichenological Newsletter) with many of these reports based on CANB col­ lections. The CANB collections have grown significantly since 1982 with the donation by Prof. J.A. Elix of his lichen collections and the continuing collecting program to northern Aus­ tralia which have added significantly to the knowledge of Australian lichenology.
