J An official report on the timber resources of the colony reveals the fact that owing to 1 reckless destruction in the past the colony t is barely able to supply its own wants, * much less yield a Burplua for export. It l expresses fear that the scarcity of good timber may lead to inferior timber being ] exported under wrong names, and thus < lead to the irretrievable rain o£ the 1 1 trade. ( UNION OF THE CHURCHES. J I Archbißhcp Carr, replying to Bishop , I Thornton on the question of union of the 1 I Roman and Anglican Churches, deprecated I his remarkß with reference to Rome, and I said Bishop Thornton's address was re- - I markable chiefly as proving the deep and I wide-spread interest that the question had : I aroused. Catholics looked hopefnllj to the I issue. They were not active disputants lin the matter. Whatever the outcome ■ 1 might be, he was certain that many Angli- ; I canß were yearning for union with Rome. ' I They had adopted Catholic practices and j I devotions to such an extent that a stranger I 1 entering' an Anglican churoh found it; 1 1 difficult io-distinguish the counterfeit from \ I the real. They felt inconsistency in being ' I co near and yet so far from the Catholics* - THE CYANIDE PROCESS. . ADELAIDE, Mat 7. ;. I Mr Proviß, of the Kapunda School of i I Mines, has completed an interesting series _ of experiments with a solution of potassium J. 1 cyanide and [seaweed, for the purposes 9 I of gold extraction. Ninety per cent of c i the assay value of ores was extracted, >• and Mr Provia is confident that the 13 1 use of Beaweed solutions, with a com.g I bination of cyanide,' will ultimately con,y j siderably reduce the treatment, of lowid ! grade ores by the cyanide process. 7 THE BANK LOTTERY. r " HOBART, Mat 8. |?
