"Accidents make good Incidents, but tragedy determined, by them has no.signi-.,: ficance." Another critic has said: "Shakespeare never makes up his mind entirely as to who is being punished and for what' reason." Bertrand Evans argues that it. is a "tragedy of unawaredness." The Capulets and- the Montagues do not know of the marriage; Romeo and Juliet are at first not aware of one another's identity; neither Mercutio nor Tybalt know that Romeo Is married to a Capulet; the nurse, once privy -to all Juliet's secrets, knows nothing of the sleeping potion. The list could be extended: In particular, Mercutio, Tybalt, Paris and Romeo, the young men of -the play, all die. In Ignorance of facts that would have saved them. Thus Romeo and Juliet Is not one of the soul-purging tragedies.

It is a story of misfortune heightened by Intemperance, capable of evoking the emotions of pathos and pity, but not profound and chastening. The theme of death runs strongly throughout the play, and much of the poetic imagery Is based upon It. For example, after her. wedding night Juliet says to Romeo below her window: Romeo (Laurence Olivier) takes his leave of Juliet Leigh) THE inhabitants of the planet Earth are strange human beings who live in territorial communities they call nations and form vast numbers of international organisations known by groups of Jumbled initials. There are so many of these bodies influencing their daily lives In various ways that few humans can identify more than a handful of them.

For trade and commerce, strategy and good will, and friendly understanding, they must know who the important people in other nations are, how rich or poor, powerful or progressive these countries are, what they produce, and how one can visit them. But in recent years new nations have proliferated like amoeba and so complex is Earth's global society that books giving all this information have become essential. Hence the value of the new edition of the two-volume "Europa Year Book" Volume I of tlie 2500-page work covers international organisations and Europe, including the USSR and Turkey.

The reactions and resistances of various Albans, the trials of a public relations officer who is sent to "sell" the idea of the dam, and the amorous and domestic problems that neither dams nor resumptions nor floodlngs can eliminate such things make up quite a good story. The author tells us that the book "simply took over and wrote itself." It would have been all the better if It had actually done so; but I fancy the narrator intervenes too much in order to weave a pattern into events, and this sometimes makes her novel slightly abstract, Just a little too schematic.

Still, it remains very readable and shows good promise. anti-story in tne iy7 uia vie Chisholm The observer is supposed to have a legitimate purpose, and reflects lengthily on the miseries of mankind and the frustrations that bar human happiness. But surely Barbusse was wrong to put all this philosophising into the mouth of a man who was, after all, Just -a Peeping Tom. That was what shocked French critics nearly 60 years ago. If he had written the book as a series of short stories, the whole thing might have been more acceptable; he might have produced a volume worthy of Maupassant, without the latter's cynicism.

But even then, I cannot avoid the impression that Barbusse had a morbid imagination. It expressed itself in a terrible and yet magnificent way in "Under Fire," because war is war, and no sane man would try to make it look beautiful. But in that case Barbusse was writing about things that were only too visible. And Henri Barbusse Glezio Judged on the precepts of Aristotle, who said that a tragic hero must fall because of an imperfection in his own character. Of course, Romeo and Juliet are not like the heroes of the deeper tragedies.

Their disaster is largely brought about by fate, by the stars; or, as Capulet expresses It: 1 "Poor sacrifices to our emnity 1" Given the situation of the bitter family feud, fraught with tragedy to Mercutio and Tybalt as well as to the lovers, is It possible that Romeo and Juliet contribute at least In a measure to their own disasters Are they not impetuous to the point of being rash-? The words of Friar Laurence could 'be made the text of this theme: "Wisely Is slow: they stumble that run fast." A sense of extreme haste is emphasised throughout the play; not only on Romeo's part, of course. Juliet says in the balcony scene: have no joy of this contract to- night; It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden. The friar Issues another warning: "These violent delights have violent ends." Old Capulet, usually (though not always) Impatient, often uses the word "haste." More-. over, Shakespeare has concentrated or intensified time in the plot, so that the whole action takes less than five days. Romeo kills Tybalt only half an hour after his secret marriage, and is banished within the hour.

With- In a few hours of her wedding with Romeo, Juliet finds herself betrothed to Paris, and the marriage is to take place in less than three days. In real life the timing would be but the effect of rushing to inevitable doom is Justified dramatically. It has the speed of a modern motion picture. It is true that accident is responsible for the outcome of the play. The number of, "If only's" that could be posed in connection with Romeo and Juliet are almost legion.

Harley Granville-Barker, sown by hand, sheep were shorn with hand blades after being individually washed, and all crops had to be separately winnowed after harvesting. As a result, huge areas of territory could not" be effectively farmed, and workers in primary industry had a gruelling 'time. But the hard conditions also served as an incentive to invention, so that Australia's contribution to the development of agricultural machinery was impressive by any standards. In the early years of settlement cereal crops were cut with sickle or scythe. The "rake and scythe was regarded as particularly advanced for it enabled the crop to be laid neatly in rows for tying into sheaves by hand.

The first mechanical reaper was an English invention that never reached Australia. Then. Cyrus McCormack, an American, improved the model considerably, but the crop still had to be raked Into heaps and tied into sheaves by hand. McCormack Incorporated many improvements during the next 40 years, usually buying them from other inventors. In 1872 he brought out the first reaper-and-binder, which delivered bound sheaves In one operation.

He became a multi-millionaire as his machines spread all over the world. But such a machine was by no means perfect for countries growing millions of acres, especially under dry conditions likely to cause a loss of grain from the ears. Ideally only the actual grain should be harvested. The story of the invention of the "stripper" is a very complicated one, not fully unravelled because conflicting claims were made when patent rights were dis- puted. To a South Australia farmer, John Bull, must go the credit for the original idea, but it was John Ridley, an Adelaide miller, who built the first model the "locomotive thresher" as he called It.

1843 a really efficient laborer might mow an acre in a long day. One hot summer's day Bull's reapers refused to move from the "grog-shop," and next day he showed them that the wheat was already over-ripe by -gathering some standing heads between his forked fingers and striking them with his other hand. All the grain flew out, and a great Idea Was born. Ridley possibly heard of the rough plans of Bull, and in a short -space of time built a practical stripper. This machine caught the heads of the wheat between long steel prongs, threshed, them with BUDDHIST SOCIETY OF VICTORIA.

Harrison says that it was "responsible for all the sudden flowering of English drama in the period 1594-1610. Moreover, it coincided with the sudden vogue for sonneteering, and contains a number of obvious or disguised sonnets In its text." From its first production Romeo and Juliet has always been popular, despite Its many imperfections. Classical and modern literature have provided us with Innumerable pairs of tragic lovers, but It Is only Romeo and Juliet who have Indelibly impressed themselves upon our minus ana emotions. Indeed, it Is possible that they have subtly created our attitude to "first love." Some critics have claimed that the opening sonnet of the chorus Shows that Shakespeare's main theme was the evil results of family feuds: "The continuance of their parents' rage, which but their children's end. nought could remove." This Interpretation Is strengthened by the last lines of the play, and especially by the words of the prince: Where be these enemies? Capu- let I Montague I gee what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That heaven finds means to kill your joys with lovet The chorus describes Romeo and Juliet in the famous epithet: "A pair of star-crossed lovers." He goes on to stamp their misfortunes as "misadventured piteous overthrows," further suggesting that the pair are the innocent victims of other people's sins and sheer ill luck.

Young Love Is the cruel sufferer from Old Hate. The sins of the parents are visited upon their children. Dramatic tragedy is capable of Varied definitions, but the later plays of Shakespeare are often NECESSITY was certainly the mother of invention to Australian farmers in the 19th century, and some quite remarkable agricultural machines were the result. The stump-Jump plough, the stripper, the header-harvester and tlie shearing machine are basically Australian inventions, and they have had a great influence on farming throughout the world. Until the 1870's farming methods In Australia were mostly behind those of Great Britain.

On the other hand, the love of Romeo and Juliet is sometimes pictured as a blinding flash of light, irradiating a dark and sordid world. Although the verse is of very mixed quality, there is no doubt that the poetry of Romeo and Juliet nearly overpowers its dramatic quality.

At times the poetry holds up' the story, such as in the Queen Mab speech. It is for this reason that some adventurous producers almost set it to music; certainly the lyrical passages can be sung. ers swiftly revolving beaters, and shot the grain, chaff and debris Into a long tin. Thus the old techniques of harvesting were short-circuited. The stalks were left standing in the paddock, and the winnowing was done by a hand-driven-machine on the wheat-field.

Ridley began to manufacture his strippers hr Adelaide -Just in time, for the gold rushes were soon to cause an acute shortage of farm workers. But a stripper cduld work efficiently only if the crop was of even height, and not flattened by wind or hail. So James Morrow, of Victoria, produced the first successful "header" in 1872. This machine cut off as much of the stalk as was needed to get a maximum return from' the crop, and could be ad-Justed to suit various conditions. Winnowing continued an Irksome and expensive business.

A number of Australians tried their hands atjnaking a "combine" that would deliver clean grain on the field itself. It was Hugh Victor McKay, the 19-year-old son of a Scottish migrant, who built the first "combine" in the log-and-bark smithy on his father's selection at Raywood, Victoria. He used parts of discarded farm 'machines, pieces of fencing wire, and old kerosene tins with wonderful results. Treated at first as a Joke by other farmers, McKay's machine showed that wheat and other grain crops could be stripped, threshed, winnowed and bagged in one con- tinuous operation. The cost of harvesting was reduced from 12 to 4d.

a bushel, and the "combines" built at Ballarat and the Sunshine works near Melbourne saved the Australian wheat industry from possible extinction in face of competition from Canada, Russia and tlie Argentine. The stump-Jump plough was the Invention of Richard Smith, of South Australia, In the early 1870's. This plough solved the problem of damage to plough-shares and mould boards caused by striking hidden stumps and stones. It made it possible to use the Mallee as a wheat-growing area without the expense of grubbing out all the countless tough mallee roots. The Vixen plough, exhibited by Smith in June, 1876, had three stump-Jump mould boards.

Without this invention the Mallee lands might never have been tilled, yet Smith's life was one of bitter disappointment, for he could not establish patent rights, and died a poor man. The disc plough was an American invention, but H. -V. McKay first marketed a stump-Jump disc machine In 1907. Although others had Datented ideas for sheep-shearing machines before him, the Australian Frederick Wolseley was the most notable pioneer.

He bought Euroka Station, near Walgett, NSW, getting his first patent In 1887.. The great, test came eight years later in a historic demonstration in Melbourne. Dave Brown's hand blades finished first by a' few seconds, but Hassan All, Wolseley's Afghan Machine shearer, went over Brown's sheep again and took off a further 12 oz. of wool. It is true that machine shearing was delayed until the coming of internal combustion engines and electric motors, but Wolseley's invention was another triumph for the practical genius of working Australian farmers.

"Parting is such sweet sorrow." NEW by A. R. IN his earlier, prize-winning book, "The Interrogation," M. Le Clezlo used a technique defined by a (friendly) reviewer as that of the anti-novel. So it is not surprising i that in "Fever" his technique is of the anti-story.

As he says himself, his nine tales are portayals of "the little madness" the volcano that erupts in the mind under the stress of pain, illness, failure, old age and so on. One of the most striking stories is "The Day Beaumont Became Acquainted with his Pain" (i.e., violent toothache). M. Le Clezlo has a remarkable capacity for making pain visible, so that this, like his other tales, reminds us of. an anatomical museum, with all its horrors, transferred from the physical to the psychological domain.

The author seems to voice the obsessive idea that life, which is only the putrescent Umbo of death, is morbid, futile, absurd, ugly. He is a little like Sartre, but much more negative. At least this new book is quite intelligible, which "The Interrogation" wasn't. But I feel no happier for understanding it. It depresses me as much as modern anti-poetry does.

I am old-fashioned enough to like, in literature, a reasonable quantum of positlveness; some feeling for beauty, even if it is melancholy; some. echo, however faint, of Carlyle's Everlasting Yea. depression is not dispelled by the revival, in English, of Barbusse's "Hell." first nub lished (as in 1908, before "Le Feu" made the author world famous. The subject is too slimy. A young man living in a hotel finds that a hole in the wall permits him to watch the neighboring room.

The things he sees include adultery, sex aberrations, childbirth, all described with ample details. A THIS study of mld-Victoriah. manners and morals, particularly of the-race-track and the gambling hall, is only partly the story of the diminutive and lovely Lady Florence Paget, the "Pocket Venus" of the title. The author, a turf- historian and contributor to the London "Times" for 30 years, Is more at home describing a promising filly than a wayward beauty. Lady Florence was the centre of a scandal that rocked London society in 1864.

She ran off with the Marquess of Hastings (after meeting him by appointment during an afternoon's shop-i ping at Selfridge's) and Jilted his rival, Mr. Henry Chaplin, to whom she was engaged. i Henry Chaplin was wealthy and popular, a. leader of London's smart younger set and a friend of the Prince of Wales. He and Edward and Harry Hastings had been at Oxford together.

There the young marquess had been overshadowed by Henry (nicknamed and there the seed of the later disasters was sown. There was little to choose between the two as a husband, or rather as "the catch of the season." Both had large country estates and personal fortunes, but Hastings had a title as well. Mr. Blyth castigates Harry Hastings as a cad, but is evidently fascinated by his flamboyant character, a mixture of weakness and courage, of generosity and petty spite. The best writing in the from the descriptions of Derby Day at Epsom, comes at the end, where the author visits and muses over the grave of Hastings at Kensal Green.

He had died, worn out and prematurely aged by excesses, at 28. He was a compulsive gambler, would wager on anything. When Henry Chaplin won the coveted Derby with Hermit, Hastings went Le teacners and 215 students. The University of Aleppo has 30 teachers and 4782 students.

1 EXPECTED to be more depressed than ever by the "Diary of an Old Man." I was wrong. Mr. Bermant has contrived to' make a drab subject uncommonly amusing. A winter month in the diary of an old London pensioner, with notes on his aged cronies; with a heater that goes wrong; with a big stock of ailments, prejudices and garrulity: these unpromising data are touched and transformed by the wand of a humorous magician. The humor is Mr.

Bermant's, of course; but very cunningly he makes you believe that it is the old man's. At the same time, there is nothing heartless in the author's approach. He is as compassionate as Dickens, and indeed reminds me dimly of Dickens. Only, he often calls a spade (or worse) a spade (and much worse), with a frankness that have petrified the Victorians. His humor is sometimes puckish, sometimes ironical, never malicious.

The diarist's comment on a parsimonious and defunct acquaintance is: "He was a bit fichf. flnri snrtnnRa wnnM Vio myself if I had anything to be tight with." And when an ancient friend remarks that their contemporaries seem to be following each other to the grave as if the process were contagious, the diarist asks: "You mean keeping up with the Joneses His friend retorts: "Keeping down with the Joneses would be a better way of putting WYNWODE REID is a Jour-" nalist, advertisement writer and author of a good few short stories.

Those remote and terrible people, the "authorities," decide to resume all the properties and drown the town by the building of a dam for a water conservation scheme.

Moribund or not, Alba is a dwelling place of souls, passionate involvement in horse-racing. But the book should really have been called "The Great Days of the Sport of or some such title. The story of the Lady Florence Is only Incidental. Mr. Blyth dearly loves a lord, and recounts with relish his gambling splurges, his drinking, and how he was at home in the lowest dens of the East End (where other "toffs" would have been in danger of their lives), being greeted everywhere with cries of "The Markis, Gawd bless 'im He tries to do Justice to The Pocket Venus, but like Harry Hastings (who evidently married poor, impressionable Florence Just because his rival wanted her) he has a warmer eye for a horse.

"The Wicked Marquess" had some premonition of his early demise, but did not seem to care. It was said that his rival's winning of the Derby broke his heart. Contemporary cartoons show him i galloping to destruction with the Devil holding the reins and Death In the rumble-seat. There was a legend in the Hastings family that when the master of the house twice heard the sound of phantom carriage wheels, he would be dead within the year. In 1868, while sitting late at dinner, the Marquess twice sent a servant to the front door to welcome the guests whose carriage wheels he heard on the gravel.

No-one was there. Remembering the old legend, Harry Hastings smiled, and invited the other guests to wager on the chances of his survival; if he lost the bet, he would not he there to pay it.

He had lost 120,000 on a single race; but then he was accustomed to losing 20,000 In a night at cards, and winning it back the next night.

By the time he died he was known in his ancestral village as "The Wicked Marquess," and had mortgaged the whole of his at Donington Park. Yet there was little sympathy for his widow, the Pocket Venus, with her "petite figure and dove-like for she, too, had been labelled wicked by Victorian society.

After this event Chaplin went off in the approved manner on a dangerous hunting trip to India. When he came back he began "buying racehorses as if he were drunk and to back them as if he were mad." This was enough challenge to his old rival, who owned a modest string of racehorses.

He now bought an untried colt, Kangaroo, for 12,000 guineas, a stupendous price in those days. The story of Harry and Henry bears out the old saw: "Lucky at love, unlucky at cards." Harry won the girl, but lost everything else, and soon drank himself to death. Henry beat his rival on the turf, and could have had the girl as well alter Harry's -death; but by then he did not want her. Henry Chaplin, in his photographs, shows a strong, cold, arrogant face, complete with a monocle; Harry Hastings the face of an amiable weakling and fop. It all seems curiously irrelevant these days.
