AUSTRALIA,
DISCOVERED BỶ CHINESE.
A NOVEL CLAIM.
- Neither the British nor the Dutch seamen discovered Australia, if the story heard from a high Chinese official In, Peking by Mr. William Quinn, a merchant belonging to Invercar gill, New Zealand, is true,
According to the official, this country was discovered by the Chinese, probably by the crew of a junk blown far out of her course. This information, said the official, was gleaned from a book in the archives of China called "The Classic of Mountain and Flood," which, until recently, had been! regarded as a fable, but which the Chinese were now beginning to think was a true story of adventure.
In the book, which has been proved to be 2,000, and which is perhaps 3,000, years old, there is reference to a large island lying far to the south-west in which the sun rose in a different direction. Features of the coastline are described which coincide with the Australian coast. In the same,book: the Pyramids and the Sphinx are also described, the exact number of the former being given.

Mr. Quinn, has made a special study of the East. In Japan he was impressed by the crowded condi- tions of the people. Only 19 per cent. of the country is habitable, he said, and, with the exception of Java, he knew no land where the arable soil is so intensively culti- vated. A Japanese writer had given it as his opinion that the Japanese people must either die a saintly death of righteous starvation or expand in- to their neighbour's back yards. The White Australia policy was frequently mentioned Mr.
