Sloan turned on Bash angrily.
"How high can you Jump"
@Standing or running?"
"Standin'."
For answer Bash put his right hand
up to his chin.
Il don't believe it.
"put stick up, string, rail-any,
thing" said Bash, coolly.
Perkins and Sloan held rail about
four feet off the ground.
Bash turned his back to it and jumped
over it.
The big man capped his hands.
They placed the rail as high as his
chin.
He stood before it, then suddenly
bounded high in the air over it.
The big man roared with laughter.
"Now, Mr. Sloan" said Bash, "you
try it,"
Sloan jumped three times, but failed
to come within three inches of the height
Bash jumped.
"How high can you kick?" demanded
Sloan.
AT least seven feet"
Sloan had Perkins hold stick agains,
a tree just that distance from the ground,
stood under it, sprang up and struck the
stick with his right foot.
Bash had Perkins raise tho stick hall
an inch, rose the same way, and kicked
the stick high in the air.
Sloan tried again, half an inch higher,
then an inch, until he put the stick up
to eight feet six inches.
Then Dan Bash asked the big man &c

foot higher.
Sloan ard Perkins laughed.
Bash rose in the air suddenly, spring
ing off his left foot. and his right sent

crowd looked on dumfounded.

Whereat there was Il roar of laughter.
'How do you ras'le?" said ST Perkins
suddenly.

Il used to ra>'le little"

"WelI, strip then"
"Not if you don't want to tear my
clothes.
They went at it, catch-as-catch-can. In
five seconds-leSs time-the boss ras'ler
of the county" was on the flat of his
back.
That made 81 Sloan laugh, while Per.

"Anythin' else You can't do?n asked
the Jolly giant, good-humoredIy,

Millions of sheep in Australia.

One hundred million of shcep--such,
roughly speaking, is. according to Mr..
w. a. Temperley. the total wealth of
Australia invested in those bleating
tlocks, which were the standard and out

communities of the ancient world. In
his paper read before the TyneSide Geo
graphical Society. Mr.. Temperiey gave a
curious picture Of the operation OF sheep
raising al model Australian sheep sta
ton of 10000 acres. For system and
economy it appears TO be far ahead OF
anything known in this part Of the
world. Such holding should support,
we are told, so, 600 sheep, besides a few
hundred head Of cattle and number Of
horses for station work. The farm de-
Scribed possessed 15-00D to 10000 breed
ing ewes OF the merino type, the remain

sheep population, SO TO speak, is esti-

net expert of wool is 900, 100000 pounds
weight per annum. OF this vast total
55lz per cent. comes from Australia, 20
per cent. from the Argentine Republic,
and 81 per cont. from the Cape. Thus
"a per cent. of the who're comes from

a Wonderful Possibility.

The chance for the most wonderful
discovery of the century is the direct
conversion of heat energy into electric
energy. There is no doubt relation
between the two by which such a con-
version can be made. and that is what
is to be found by somesuch Investigator
as DIR. Hertz. Our present method of
getting electricity is by he interposition
of the steam engine, IN which we can
only get from 4 to per cent. of the
theoretical energy of coaLin mechanical
power. What revolution such dis
covery as here outlined would make
All present steam engines would at
once disappear if we could only get
electricity in such a way. The great
Taraday made the electric light, the
telegraph, and the telephone possible
by his wonderful discoveries in pure
science. To obtain the known heat en-
ergy directly from coal would be a
marvel no greater than the marvels
Faraday freely gave to the world.
The Bells. Brushes, and Edisons can
not be expected to do any such work as
Faraday. for they belong to an inferior
type of men; they may apply what a
Faradav wrought out, but they are in
capable of conducting such investiga-
tons or thinking the smallest thought
of Faradav.
