The THE Uni
ted States consul at Australia has
forwarded to Gen. Spinner a speci-
men of the Australian "boomerang, &"
being a weapon of war-used also in
the chase. It consists of heavy
wooden club about eight inches long,
three wide, and one-half inch thick !;
fat on one side and convex on the
other; bent, without moving the fiat
side of its own plane, either into an
arc or into an obtuse angle. The
club is thrown flat side down, spin
ming with great velocity and it will
either return to its owner or turn to
the right or left, according to its first
position. It skins upon the air like
a bird with the wings expanded, the
rotation causing the plane of rotation
to resist change Of direction, and
thus avoiding those sudden and ca
PRECIOUS movements observed on fiat
stones or pieces of metal when
thrown edgewise through the air.
Naval architects have attempted to
apply the principle Of the "boomer-
ang" to screw steamships, but so far
the idea has not found favor with the
ship-builders.
