One is that a new continent is slowly rising out of the Pacific Ocean--Lemuria they call it--and some day, hundreds of years hence, there may be land there instead of water, and people living on it.

They say too that the center of gravity of both the British Empire and the United States is moving towards the Pacific.

Sydney may grow more important than London, and San Francisco than New York when the trade routes make them fresh pivots of energy.

Another funny thing I read is that as the world is changing a new race seems to be emerging.

Travelers say that the modern children in Australia don't look in the least like English children or French children, or any European nation--they are a fresh type.
