Big Game That Beats Al xils Records
In the Chase.

From The 50. Louis Repn5zsc.
One can hardly imagine anything
more exciting than a kangaroo hunt.
To be sure, it has not the element
of extreme danger that goes with a
lion or tiger hunt, nor is it in that
respect to be compared with ele.
phant hunting or the hunt for griz-
ely bears. But there is so much
more of the kangaroo chase, and it
is usually over or through such dan
gerous ground and at such speed
it affords quite as much excitement
as any other form of sport.
Moreover, If You are not thor
ough master of horsemanship and
if you have not a horse that can no
all day and jump any ditch or hedge
or fence that any other horse can
j mp, then you had better stay at
home and let che others 60 without
you.

L isseldom thata kangaroo gives
up in cover they usually take to
the open, where they can have full
swing for all four legs in the final
fight with the dogs. In our case
this was a quick and sharp affair.
The first two poor hounds received
blows from the powerful hind legs
of the kangaroo which killed them
outright laying them entirely open
and another was mortally wounded.
These death-dealing blows were
given by hugging the dogs closely
with the short forelegs and ripping
them down the stomach with the
large, sharp middle claw of one
hind leg, while the other leg and
the tail afforded firm brace on
which to sit upright.
But our pack sufficiently large
enough to afford such loss as this;
soon brought the worn out prey to

proved to be a veritable grandfather
of the flock, quite u feet tall.
Kangaroo hide is now a valuable
article in the leather market, and
the hunters try to be in at the death
toprevent the dogs from too greatly
mut;lating the skin.
Although every part of the flesh
is good eating, little but tie tail is
saved for that purpose, as the body
and legs are usually nearly all bone
and tough muscle. There is, how
ever, strange prejudice against the
flesh among the natives, although
it affords such an excellent relief
from the Everlasting mutton"
eaten in the bush. All varieties of
the kangaroo tribe are fine eating,
from the young "blue flyer" down
to the '.rat," though the latter
needs to change its inappropriate
name for the table. The tail, es-
pecially, is fat, juicy morsel fully
as good as squirrel or blue-faced
monkey, and a dish in great favor
With all who have tried it. So, too,
with the heart and liver both are
very sweet and palatable eating, and
quite repay the labors of a kanga-
roo hunt.

| The watch carried by the average

its manufacture embraces more than

The process of tempering these
springs was long held as secret by
the few fortunate ones possessing
it, and evening now it Is not gener-
ally known.
Their manufacture requires great
skill and care. The strip is gagged
TO 2O-1 ,000ths of an inch, but no
measuring instrument has as vet
been devised capable of fine enough
gauging to determine beforehand
by the size OF the strip what the
strength of the finished spring will
be. A 20-l, ,0OOth part of an inch
difference in the thickness Of the
strip makes difference in the run
ming of n watch of about six min
utes an hour.
The value of these springs when
finished and placed in watches, ia
enormous in proportion to the ma
terial from which they are made.
A comparison will give very saod
idea.
A ton Of steel made up into hair
springs when in watches is worth
more than 12i times the valss Of
the same weight in pure gold.
Hairspring wire weighs one-twen-
tieth of a grain to an inch. One
mile of wire weighs less than half a
pound.
The balance gives five vibrations
every second, 800 every minute,
$4,000 every hour, 432, 200 every
day and $3.50, 900 every year.
At each vibration it rotates about
one and one-fourth tines, which
makes 1877, 100, 600 revolutions eve

derstand the stapendous amount of
labor performed by these tiny works,
