FRENCH RIGHTS IN THE SAHARl
Important Concessions Granted by
 the Sultan of Morocco in the Oasis

Important Concessions Granted by
 the Sultan of Morocco in the Oasis
 of That. ->
 PARIS, Feb. 16.-The Matin says the diff ficulty between France and the sultan of Morocco in regard to the Tuat oasis, sover- eighty over which has been claimed by both France and Morocco, has been settled. By the terms of the agreement which has been reached France will henceforth have the right to establish small garrisons in the district, to control the caravans pass ing through the country, and to levy a small tax on merchandise.
 The oasis of Tuat is in the Desert of Sa- hara nearly equidistant from Morocco and Algeria The chief town is Agably. It is on the caravan route from Tripoli to Tim. buetoo, and is one of the most important places in the desert. It is said that France is moved to the acquisition of this territory by her desire to control the country back of Algeria to Senegal, so that she may be able to construct a railroad to connect those two French posseeslons in Africa. The railroad spoken of Is to extend from Algeria southward through Laghuat, Uargia and Tuat to Bambs Thence il will run westerly to Timbuctoo, and from there to the west coast of Africa, ending al St. Louis, Senegal. From Banba it l. proposed to build 8 branch line in a south easterly direction, extending into and tap ping the central and eastern parts of th, French Soudan.

How Our Roads May Be Improved.

/ would have each State by a legislative en-
aetment do at once two or three things in the
direction of this movement. viz: procure and
disseminate information by establishing q bu-
reau where the facts relating TO the expense.
mechanical construction, care durability, use
and extent of the different kinds of roads shall
be known and ascertained; then would have
some kind of State supervision and advisory
assistance by competent engineer or engineers
appointed by the State in aid of road and
bridge building and repairing upon scientific
principles and upon comprehensive and eco
nomical plan for the whole State; thirdly, I
would have the State either own or control
and maintain some through highways, con-
Meeting the principal towns in the State,
and connecting these with the principal
towns of neighboring States, where they are
most needed, either for great public ext
gencies or for the greatest general use The
State would thus promote the euualiZa-
ton and the general reduction of expense of
construction and maintenance of these main
roads, and would give a profitable exam
pie and strong incentive to the adjacent
towns to construct better contributory roads as
feeders TO the main ones. i would have the
State divide the expenses of this scheme of road
betterment in the tax levy, SO that part of it
should be apportioned to the whole State part
to the Counties through which the roads ran,
and part TO the towns. And. further i would
have this tax levy kept small and the invest
ment adequate and quickly made by the bust
ness mans method Of borrowing the money on
long loans IL would thus be easily paid out of
the profits by those sharing them.

THE BOOMERANG.
How the Australian Buslmen Make o Dangerous
Weapon.

ST. Nicholas
Three years ago lived close to an aboriginal
camp in New South Wales. This camp was
only about 200 yards from our settlement and
it was my daily custom to walk over to the
moOrong, as they call it, and study the habits OF
the blackfellows, as the original natives of Aus.
tralia are called.
/ was naturally more interested in the boom
erang than in any other of their weapons, and
with little practice soon learned to throw it.
In the language of this tribe, the Wong ei-bong
which is situated in the Began River region,
the boomerang s called DOn,era
] shall therefore call it O womera. The wo.
mera is made from what is technically known
as an elbow from the kurrawung tree, and
sometimes from the yarran and myall trees.
All of these trees belong to the acacia tribe, and
have sweet-scented woods.
The blackfellow, having found suitable ell
bow, chops it out Of the tree, and, as it is gen
orally too heavy to carry home, trims it on the
spot into tho rough outline of the forthcoming
weapon.
After about two hours labor the womera will
be reduced to three or four pounds weight, but
it is still q long way from being finished
weapon. AS 1t now appears it is fiat, heavy
club, longer and thinner at one arm than at the
other. The black is decidedly lazy specimen
of the human Species and he will as often as not
lay aside his uncompleted weapon for a week or
perhaps longer period. When he resumes
WORK the wood will have become hard and dry,
and consequently difficult to work upon, but it
never once occurs to him that he is now paying
for his former Incidence. Time, however, is of
little or no consequence to the black.
After some further pairing down the weapoL
is charred all over, and this part of the work is
quite skilfully done, no one part being more
burned than other. The charcoal is Clipped
off, and the blackfelow then ticks the weapon
all over with his tongue, and places it in .
smoky fire Of green boughs which warns 1t
and makes it quite pliable.

of falsehood. You say he was expelled. He
was not a member of that body any more than
you were; and more than that the body had
no power to expel him.
You say Mr.. Riley did not deny the ACCUSE
ton; l say the President asked him three
times aud got answer. / want to explain
that the President then stated he had letter
stating he was Grand Army man. BE even
