RECEIVES BOOST
FROM IMMIGRATION
By JAMES SHRIMPTON
Melbourne, May 13.
With a powerful boost from immigration, Australia's population is rising rapidly towards the 10 million mark. In 25 years, the Department of Immigration predicts, 20 million people will live in this island continent, 32 times the size of the United Kingdom.
About 1,150,000 immigrants have landed in Australia since the World War II, roughly half of them from Britain and two-thirds of the remainder from Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany and Greece,
Of the Brilons, approximately half have travelled the 12,000
miles to Austraila under an assisted-passages scheme at cost, to many, of less than a week's wages.

Observation of geophysical phenomena and of tlid behaviour of artificial satellites in orbit is to be the main contribution of the Union of South Africa to the International Geophysical Year, which will last from July 1957 to December 1958.

The length of time that uny one satellite can be expected to remain in ita orbit, circling the earth at a speed of about 18,000 will depend on miles an hour, the height of its closest, tp- proach, he explained. The period may range between one month and one year.
Broad Coverage
The significance of the satei- Ilio for the International Geophysical year is that most of the present knowledge of the "exosphere" is based on Indirect observations. Rockets can pro- vide direct measurements but they are short-lived and re- stricted in atmospheric coverage. The satellies,
the ollier hand, are expected to remain 'a long time in orbit, with repeat- cd revolutions about the earth giving broad coverage,

Careful observationis of the arbit prid ita perturbations caused by variations in the gravitatioris far will make it possible to calculate the mass- distribution in the earth, This should yield information about the composition of the earth's crust.
