Stocks of steel plates, tin plate and galvanized iron are low throughout Australia, and the demand is acute, ac cording to consular advices from Mel bourne. There is' at present very little prospect of outside relief, and an effkt is being made to manufacture these goods in Australia. Recently representatives of a company In New castle and one In Melbourne Were sent to the United States to purchase machinery for making steel. The high freights and shortage of supply offer a great incentive to the manufacture of lines that would have been consid ered impossible to produce before the war.

"Why Has'This Thing Come Upon Us and Our Children?" Question on Lips of Belgian Refugees. Along the straight, glistening road, through a dim arcade of drooping trees, a tunnel of faded green and gold, dripping with the misty rain of a late October afternoon, a human tide was flowing, not swiftly but sure ly, with the patient, pathetic slowness of weary feet and numb brains and heavy hearts. 'Yet they were in haste, all of these old men aund women, fathers and moth ers and little children ; they were fly ing as fast as they could, either away from something that they feared or toward somnethitlag fthat they desired. For that was the strnlige thing the tide on the road flowed in two di rections. Some fled away from ruined home. to escape the perils of war. Sone fi< back to escape (lhe desolation of exile But all were fugitives; anxious to bi gone, starving along the road one we,; or the other, and i mking no m'or. speed than a creepiag snail's pace o unutterable fatigue.

A plant has been established at Bold, near Widnes, Lancashire, for the man ufacture of asbestos-cement sheeting, plain and corrugated. It is claimed, writes Consul Horace Lee Washington at Liverpool, that the product will be of special value in the work of Euro pean construction when the war is over.' It will compete with various materials hitherto used for paneling and roofing, and more particularly with galvanized iron. It is claimed that the sheeting is fireproof, and will last for many years. The process of manufacture Is described as similar to that of paper making. Why Cherries Are Red. It was the theory of Darwin that nature made cherries beautiful to the eye for a definite purpose. Red, he said, was the most prominent and at tractive color. Cherries turned to that hue in order to attract birds. Birds, noting the brilliant globules, taste'd them, found them to their liking, told other birds and consumed the crop, swallowing seeds and all. In this way the cherry stones were carried far and wide over the country and dropped where they might grow into other cherry trees. Wouldn't Walt That Long. "So y.u're a bill collector, eh?"

Along the banks 'at the Sites canal pnd thence-along the old coast road to the east you will find today between the endless series of British encamp mente caravans of camels passing tQ pnd ,fro with their burdens or lying patiently at their mangers and chow ing the cud with that tranquil expres sion of the beast which no stress of war can disturb, says the Manchester Guardian. There are more camels gathered here than ever were assembled in the bazaars of Cairo or Damascus. Though the defense of Egypt has been carried forward from the canal itself to the hills and dunes of the Sinai desert and to 'the Land of Promise beyond, the camel is still an integral part of the defensive scheme. Roads and rail ways, it is true, run out here and there eastward from the bank, but there re mains a vast hinterland unreclaimed from the desert, waste, in which our troops continually move.
