Tho Au.tralin Bsulnhie Horse.

The Brunlbie horse of Australia,
though not distinct equine variety,
possesses attributes and qualities pecu-
liar to itself, and, like the wild cattle
and wild buffaloes of Australia, is the
descendant of runaways of imported
stock. AT no distant period OF Austria
liam pastoral history the Brumbie was
as great a scourge to the western pas
toralist as the rabbit has since become;
but a seourge, fortunately, that could
be dealt with more easily, and by per-
severance abolished. In Brunhie coun-
try, the passing traveller must needs
tend his horses closely; for the young
Brumbie stations, constantly driven
from their haunts by the older sires,
wander in search of companions, and
show marvellous intelligence and tact in
taking these, when found, into seclu-
sion. 1t Is at all times a difficult mat
ter to recover stray stock from the
Brumbie mobs. The term with the
Brumbies" is a common one throughout
bush Australia to signify hopelessly
lost. Portions of western New South
Wales and southern Queensland We're
some years ago almost devastated By
Brumbies; and all sorts of devices We're
resorted TO by squatters to I'd them
selves of the pests. Many sheep-own-
ers fenced in their water-holes with
barbed wire in such a way that moth
ing larger than sheep could enter 10
drink. In this manner tens of thou
sands of horses nerished crush
that is, long lines of parallel fences just
wide enough for one horse to pass at a
time-was erected; thsy were driven
into this long lane, at the end of which
stood an expert, armed with keen
knife. AS each animal passed, its Jug
ular vein was severed, and the bleeding
creature tore madly away into its ma
tive scrub, only to stagger and die from
loss Of blood within half mile of the
trap. This device, though barbarous,
did away with the difficulty of remov-
ing carcasses, and became the uniyer-
sal method of destruction. In this
work of destruction animals showing
extra quality were occasionally re-
served for Use; but in order to enable
the horssmen to drive them away, it
was necessary to stop their galloping,
and this was done very simply, A
packing-needle and strong Irvine were
run through the point Of each ear; he.
twines being left in, these We're then
tied under the horses chin, bending the
ears down on the cheeks, Tied in this
way, horse will not gallop, and may
be turned and driven quietly

Z ARMEN1ANS TO BE HELPED.


The astonishing announcement by the
Turkish government that it will not per-
init any distribution among it's subjects,
in it's own territory. by any foreign So
ciety or individuals, however respeeta-
BILE the same may be, of money collected
abroad Is not to be allowed to stop the
work of raising funds in this country
for the relief of the Arnenians. The
national Armenian relief committee an
nounces that the distribution can be
carried on under the direction of a
strong and representative committee Of
foreign residents and diplomats in Con-
stantinople, through European consuls
and American residents in the interior
cities Of Turkey. Therefore those in
this country who want to help the
wretched Armentans can do so. AS
will be seen from a statement in an
other column OF this paper. the New
Haven relief committee will continue its
labors.
OF course the Armenians should be
helped, even II IT takes cannon to help
them. Many think that true benevo-
lence requires the use of foreign can

a MARYELLOUS LTGHT.

If the story told Of Professor Roent-
gen of the Bavarian university of wurz-
burg is true, several more things are
going to be ''revolutionized." He has,
| it is said, discovered a new light so
intense that 1t penetrates Opaque solids.
BY means of this light he photographed
O. mans ankle in which a bullet was i'm
bedded, showing the bullet just where
it was lodged. He photographed a
leather purse, showing the money in
it with perfect distinctness. A human
hand was subjected to the rays, and the
result was picture OF its bones, with
the envelope of flesh only shadowy
form around them. The most startling
experiment was the photograph of a
young man beside a. young woman,
which showed nothing but a skeleton
form. 1t is also said that an iron
weight was photographed through a
box, the box disappearing in the pic
ture.
If tine new discovery turns out to be
as stated its importance can hardly be
overestinaated. No less an authority
than Edison credits the story. He says
of it: The cardinal factor of the whole
matter is this radiant heat, but I am
satisfiedthe Wurzburg inventor has spe-
cial rays thereof and special chemical
plates. Radiant heat is the energy of
heat transferred to the luminiferous
ether which fills all space and also per
vades all bodies. The hot body sets
the ether particles in vibration, and this
vibFatory motion. in the form eff waves,
travels in all directions and with a
velocity OF about $4,000 miles a second.
There il no essential difference between
radiant heat and light, both being forms
of radiant energy, the ether waves diff
fering intrinsically among themselves
