About all the information he did have was a story told to him by another cousin who said that the rich relative had died somewhere in the United States, a year or so ago, under conditions men -tioned above. There was an intina- ton that if any such amount of money was laying around and not working while the authorities were se3rching for the heirs. the writer of the letter would undertake to help them out of their dialema.

The Boomerang and Its inventors.

The boomerang is rather puzzle.
One might think that the highest laws
of mathematics had been laid under
contribution in the perfecting of it.
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 no
evidence. 1t must be the product Of
an agc-long empirical use of throwing
weapons.
