The Boomerang.

The boomerang is an instrument used
both in war and in the chase by the
aborigines of Australia. It is usually
about two feet in-length, made of hard
wood bent into curve resembling an
obtuse angle, fiat on one side and
rounded on the other. The method of
using this curious weapon is very pc
culiar. The thrower takes it by one end,
holding the bent side downward, aud
hurls it forward as if to hit some object
twenty to twenty-five yards in advance.
Instead of continuing to go directly for
ward in accordance with the Newtoniau
law, it slowly ascends in the air, whirl-
ing round aud round. describing beau
tiful and geometrical curved line till it
reaches considerable height, when it
begins to retrogradc, finally sweeping
over the head of the protector, striking
the object for which it was intended,
which is always in the rear.
This surprising motion is produced by
the reaction of the air upon the bends
aud curves of the oddly. y.shaped missile.
Lieutenant Breton, in his book en-
AlAltA -IIAAhl9Abllo III ANNN 1oAAtA W AANo
and Western Australia" has this to say
Of that singular weapon "rhe boom
erang is one of the most curious weapons
of war ever invented, at least by bar
barous people, nor is it easy to compre-
hend by what law of projectiles 1t is
made to take the singular directions that
it frequently does. have seen a native
throw one so as to make it 90 forty or
fifty yards horizontally, and not more
than four feet from the ground. 1t
would then suddenly dart into the air to
the height of fifty or sixty yards, de-
scribe a very considerable curve aud
finally fall at his feet. Ia all cases, no
matter how thrown, the boomerang keeps
turning with great rapidity, like as if on
a pivot, making a loud, whizzing noise
ali the while. Isl. Louis RsDu5lic.

Natural Telephone.

A gentleman from MINES ota, about
twenty-five miles southwest of Rapid
City, South Dakota, tells of discovery
which was accidentally made in the
mountains northwest of that town few
weeks ago. According to the story told,
there is a natural telephone line be.
tween two mountains in the Black Hills
range.
On each side of an intervening valley,
twelve miles in width, stand two high
peaks which tower above the other
mountains and have long been known as
landmarks, being called the twin peaks.
These mountains are fully 1000 feet
high and at least 1000 feet above the
near range. Only on rare occasions have
these peaks been assembled aud out little
was known of their topography.
Some weeks ago a party of tourists
determined to make the ascent and
divided into two parties, one for each
peak. They, too, took apparatus foI
signaling, and expected to have pleasure
and amusement by flashing the heliograph
code across the intervening space, to the
mystiication of the people of the valley.
The ascent was made, and while the
people were making arrangements to
signal across one of the party on the north
mountain was surprised to hear voices
which apparently came from the air. He
moved about and the sound was no
longer heard. By changing his position
several times he discovered that at a Ger.
tain spot on the mountain he could hear
the voices, aud it was not long before
he found Il at they proceeded from the
party on the other mountain.
He called the attention of the others
to the phenomena and then they attracted
the party on the south mountain and
found that an ordinary conversation in
an ordinary tone of voice was plainly
heard from one mountain top to the
other. There was only one place on
each mountain where it could be heard
aud it itappeared to be natural telephone.
No shouting was necessary and the
words were perfectly distinct.
