Wild Horses In Australia. h.

The few horses which, escaping now
and then from the paddocks of colonsist
on the edge of the settled districts of
Australia, have made themselves at home
in the freedom and abundant pastures
of the interior, have multiplied to such
an extent that, notwithstanding the
numbers captured or shot every year, it
is estimated that there are something
like one hundred thousand of them in
the two most populous colonies-Victo-
ria and New South Wales-or roaming
the plains Immediately contiguous to
their borders. To European ears the
proposal to have q days horse-shooting
sounds inexpressibly barbarous; but the
Australian farmers near the interior re-
gard the troops of wild horses which
may often be seen trespassing on their
inclosed lands as vermin. They do moi
possess any of the qualities which often
make the wild horses of the. South Anne.
rican plains valuable, and besides de.
stroying vegetation which might be
made to support more valuable life, they
not infrequently tempt the settlers hor-
ses to join them and adopt vagabont
life. Worse than this, they are suspec-
ted of communicating disease to settled
districts. To meet the difficulty of dsa
ling with the increasing hordes of wild
horses the Chief Inspector of stock il
New South Wales. proposes that the!
should be classed as noxious animals
under the Pastures and Stock Protection
Act.

ProDellInx Boats.

Germany lays claim 10 having been
the scene of the first successful attempt
to use steam power for propelling q
boat. One of her newspapers recently
ascribed this honor to the psychologist
Papin, q professor at Marburg Univer-
sity early in tho last century. 1t says
that in September, 1907, he went from
Cassel to Munden on q paddle wheel
boat propelled by steam, and on his ar
rival at Mundsn endeavored, unsuccess-
fully, to get permission to steam down
the Weser for the purpose of crossing
the German ocean to England. He
hoped in England 10 get the aid of the
Government in applying his invention to
ocean navigation. But his re quest was
refused by the Electoral College ''for
reasons which they did not feel called
upon to explain" He then attempted
to force his passage into the Weser. but
was overtaken by the Munden shippers,
who, before the disconsolate Professor s
eyes, destroyed the boat. 1t is said
that he never quite recovered from
this misfortune. Three years later he
died

Treasure in n Trees Heart.

In the southern part OF Alamance coun
ty, in Newiin's township. North Carolina,
about ten days ago Joe Woody contracted
with a colored man, Ephraim Aston, to
have some rails split. Near school house
Woody had allowed the pupils to cut a
tree and use the top for firewood- Eph
rain went to work upon the butt cut of
this tree, splitting 1t into rails When it
had been quartered the next thing was to
heart each section, as practical rail splitters
understand La doing the latter act he
struck regular bonanza, and twenty-six
pieces of glittering gold coin fell out,
worth ten dollars or more each.
These coins were con cealeG in an inch
ard = quarter auger hole, over which the
tree had grown, in thickness about four
inches. On the outside no traces of the
hole could be seen. From the growth of
the tree since the boring of the hole it is
supposed that the coins were put there not
later than 1912. In diameter the tree was
about two feet, and it is not likely that
the concealment dates ss far back as revo-
lutionary times. The concealer Of this
treasure is supposed to have died suddenly
without ever revealing his secret.

An attack has be en- made upon the
idol or Juggernaut, at Pooroe, the most
sacred shrine in India, by party of IA
natics. The rioters, who numbered
twelve men and three women, and were
almost in state of nudity, succeeding
in entering the temple and tried to force
their way into the inner recesses. Al
though upwards of one thousand pilg-
rims were present, they were not ex-
pelled without severe struggle, in the
course of which one intruder WAS tram
pied to death. The rest were arrested,
and have been sentenced to three months
Imprisonment. The inquiry showed
that they belonged to a set of dissenters
lately founded in the Sumlbulpore dis
trict, and known as Kumbhupatias, from
the fact that its followers wear ropes OF
bark round their waists. They allege
that their religion was revealed to sixty
four persons in 1894, by q God lncar-
nate, whom they style Alekhswamy-
that is, the Lord-whosc attributes
cannot be described In writing. They
believe in the existence of the three
hundred million deities, but do not res
pect their images, saying that it is i'm
possible to represent q supreme being
whom one has never seen. They are
subdivided into three classes, two of
which renounce the world and make no
distinction of caste, while the third
leads family life. Their habits are
said to be very filthy and. like some
European sec s, they take no medicine
in illness, but rely solely on divine help.
Their attack on Pooroe temple was
prompted by the belief that if the Jug
gernaut was bnrned it would convince
the Hindoos of the futility of their re-
igion, and the whole world would then
embrace the truth.

Gwendolen Riorden looked down the

Finding the Ring

An amusing and at the same time some
what mysterious little game for young
folks is that know as "Finding the Ring. ;"
Suppose the boy who understands the
game is Tom and that all the company of
a dozen or more know nothing of the Sc
cret. Tom calls for the ring, and it doesn't
matter whether the ring is PLAIN gold or
fancy, horn or brass. just so it can be
placed upon any of the fingers belonging
to those who take part in the game. The
ring is given to a player in such way that
Tom shall not know who has it, the play
ers being ranged in a row. however so that
the persons sitting on Toms right shall be
designated as No /. Then Tom demands
that some one shall multiply the number
of the person having the ring by 2; that 3
shall be added to the product, and that the
whole shall be multiplied by 4. Then to
the sum thus obtained Tom asks that be
added if t5e ring is on the left hand, or s
if it is on the right hand. Continuing,
multiply what results by 10, add the num-
Der of the finger and then add 2. Tom
must remind the boy who Is figuring COR
him thai the thumb counts as finger. for
instance the index finger on the right hand
is No. 2. Then Tom, having been told
the total, subtracts 222 stom it and finds

Big Noses.

Napoleon was not the first person to
declare his preference for men with big
noses. A century before his birth the
author of NaugG Tenales, in response
TO his own question, pronounced ''the
biggest nose the best nose," instancing
the case of the Roman enperors. Numa's
nose was half foot long, and earned
for him the honorable surname of Pom
pilius. According to Plutarch, Lycur-
gus and Solou ran to nose. and so did
all the Roman kings except Tarquinius
Superbus, and he was dethroned. ;Ho-
mer's nose was several inches long.
big noses," says Vigneul Marville,
"are held in honor everywhere in the
world, except among the Chinese and
Tartars. Titus Livius, Ovid, Csmoens,
and ST. Charles Baromeo may be num-
bered among men of enviable nasal de-
velopmeut. Henri Ills brother Fran-
els duke ,f Alencon, had his nose tairly
cleft in two by the ravages of small pox

describe it in detail as most delicate, the

India-Rubber Gathering.

When the hunter has found q rubber
tree, he first clears away q space from
the roots, and then moves on in search
of others, returning 10 CONNIE nee oper-
atiens as soon as he has marked all the
trees in the vicinity.
He first of all digs hole in the ground

as he can reach. The milk is caught as
it exudes and flows into the hole. As
soon as the flow from the cuts has ceased
the tree is cut down, and the trunk rails
ed from the ground by means of an i'm
proved trestle. After placing large
leaves to catch the sap, gashes are cut
through the entire length, and the milk
carefully collected.
When it first exudes the sap is of the
whiteness and consistence of cream.
but it turns black on exposure to the
air.
When the hole is filled with rubber.
it is coagulated by adding hard soap or

most rapid action, and prevents the es-

backs of the hunters by bark thongs to
the banks of the river and fiosted down

The annual destruction of rubber
trees in Columbia is very great, and the
industry must soon disappear altogeth-

the hunters to tap the trees without

Caught in His own Trap.

Henry Sullivan lives, as many other
miners do, entirely alone. in little los
cabin at tine head OF Buckeye gulch. Col
orado. Among the tools and articles ID
his humble place of abode was q large
steel trap, such as Is usel in catching
bears and heavy game. Its shape when
open was oval, but when the spring was
touched two sets of cruel teeth sprang to-
gether. closing on whatever happens to
be IN range, be it man or beast. The trap
had BOT been used for long tune and
stood open In q corner OF the place. Yes
terdsy morning it occurred TO Sullivan
tina: the trap might do some damage in
that condition, and accordingly he pulled
1t out to the middle of the floor to close it
up. In its long PERIOD of disuse the
spring became rusty and the working per
tions of 1t stuck together, refusing to
operate. Sullivan labored with 1t for
quite time, and then becoming angry
picked up hstchet and began to hammer
at it Still the jaws refused to shut, and
without thinking of the consequences he
thrust his foot against the lever and struck
1t again.
Al that instant there was a clash, and
the teeth sprang shut. pinning him just
above the ankle The springs were of
the most powerful make, and there was
no unloosing them when they had once
caught. Sullivan in his agony. felt his
very bones crack under the death-like
grip. and half tainted as he sunk to the
door. Then, nervIng himself for a des-
peraie effort, he wrenched at the stout
iron with both hands, bat without loosen
ing it the fraction of an inch. Half an
hour of pain and terror followed, and a
new idea occurred to him. The trap was
fastened at the base with heavy screws,
bolted at either side. A wrench lay with

it is needless to enlarge upon his journ-

carried to this city. His injuries are of
such a nature that he may possibly yet
suffer the amputatlon of bis foot.
