The Boomerang and Its Inventors.

The boomerang is rather a puzzle.
One might think that the highest laws
Of mathematics had been laid under
contribution in the perfecting of 1t.
The convexity on one side, the fiat
ness on the other and the sharp. knife
like edge on the inside of the con-
vexity have the air of having been
carefully thought out. Yet the people
who invented this singular weapon
cannot count higher than five and are
destitute Of all the arts and amenities
of life. Theirs is perhaps the lowest
plane Of human life. Some people
have assumed that the boomerang was
the creation Of an older and higher
civilization. but for this there is nc
evidence. II must be the product OF
an age-long empirical use of throwing
weapons.

HAD HIS REVENGE
oRANc uuTANo GOT EVEN WITH
ToRMENToRs.
Chatterinp Monkeys Pestered Big
Brute Beyond the Limits OF His
Pstience, and . Tragedy
Mas the Result.


When Pete, the big orang outang
took offense at the continual chatter
ing of eight African monkeys which
occupied a cage directly opposite the
crate containing Pete between decks
on the big British freighter Schuyl
kill, which got in recently from Ma
nilla, Singapore and other parts Of
the far east, Capt. Anderson did moi
pay much attention to his protests
SAYS the New York Times. They
put him down as a crank, and let II
go at that. The vessel put into Bos
ton some days ago, but before she go
there Pete had found his chance tc
even accounts with his tormentors
The brute broke out of his cage, and
before he could be captured had killed
four of the monkeys.
The Schuylkill left Manila on Feb
ruary u, and her last port of call be
fore arriving on this side was Algiers
rhe orang outang and the monkeys
were brought on board at Singapore
as were number of snakes and Q
a docile appearing animal when the
Schuylkill got out into the Atlantic
but he soon showed signs of dislikine
his travelling companions. The chat
tering of the monkeys got on his
nerves, and his resentment increased
from day to day. Apparently the lit
tie family became aware of Pete's
aversion, for they rather took de
light in poking monkey fun at him
Ii got so bad that whenever the bie
o:ang outang came within their view
they greeted him with a chorus ol
monkey chatter and laughter.
The climax came when the vessel
was about four days from Boston
Pete, II appeared later. had for some
time been quietly working on the bars
Of his cage, and about noon he got
out and started in to clean up his
Objectionable neighbors in the fiat
next door.
The first the officers knew of Pete's
escape was when great hullabaloc
arose from the hold and out of the Oh
scurity below shot up the forms oi
three little black monkeys, their haiI
literally standing on end. The off
GERS hurried below and there found
hat Pete had torn of the front part
of the monkey cage, and was engaged
in making short work of its occu
pants Four he killed before he could
be driven from his task, and one who
had been unable to get out of the
hold was covering in fear behind pile
of freight.
Such was the rage of the orang on
tang that before he could be cornered
he started after the escaped monkey
Behind him came two of the ships
crew, armed with stout sticks. The
double chase was continued about tn
place before they cornered the angry
beast and forced him back into the
crate.
The monkeys that were left were
put back In their cage and 1t was
taken out of Petes sight. The resi-
of the voyage Pete passed behind
double bars.
