is no inw to
l‘he Boomerang and Its Inventors.
The boomerang is rather a pu/.-
de. One might think that the high-
est laws of mathematics had been
ktid under contribution in the per-
fecting of it. The convexity on
one side, the flatness on the other
and the sharp, knifelike edge on
the inside of the convexity have the
air of having been carefully thought
out. Vet the people who invented
ties singular weapon cannot count
higher than live and are destitute of
all the arts and# amenities of life.
Theirs is perhaps the lowest plane
of human life. Some people have
assumed that the boomerang was
the creation of an older and higliei
civilization, hut for this there is no
evidence It must he the product
of an ago long empirical use of
throwing weapons.—London Spec-
tator.

It was necessary to carry materials
for the fence and supplies for the
workmen hundreds of miles in carts
Hid on camel hack. The work had
to he pushed with feverish haste,
for countless thousands of rabbits,
pressing westward steadily, were
•'•atiiig the country as hare as a city

When the workmen had nearly
i’nished the barrier, the news came
that the rabbits had rounded the
ihd. Without hesitation they be-
gan a second fence 100 miles to the
westward, and before the farming
region was safely inclosed the two
fences extended over 2,100 miles.
In. appearance the harrier resem-
bles the woven wire fences that arc
seen in all parts of the world The
letting is stretched between posts

rented with tar to make them less
