Savage Easle Hawk.

Perhaps the deaaliest foe of the
Australian sheep farmer is the eagle
hawk, and many and wonderful are
the contrivances invented for its de
struction or capture. A correspondent
at Singleton says it is no uncommon
thing for farmer with a run of quite
average extent to lose 100 sheep in a
season through the depreciation Oh
these carnivorous birds. Their
strength - he writes. "is so abnorma.
that it is practically impossible for the
sheep on which one pounces to resist
the attack, and their appetite for lire
mutton appears to be Unsuitable. They
are occasionally caught by means of q
trap attached to the carcass of q
sheep, and sometimes poisoned; but
their numbers are nevertheless CON
tinually increasing

Discovery That Seems to Clear U? q
puted Point.

The name Neanderthaloid has bee
used TO denote an extremely ancien
race of men, of which remairs were
first found in 1856 in the Neander VI
ley, Germany. Since then an entire
skeleton of an adult woman of the
same type was found in Dordogne,
France, in 1905. and only few months
ago, near the same place, there wa
unearthed the skeleton of youth
showing the typical characteristics Of
the race-strongly developed supraor
bital ridges, powerful maXilla. large
teeth. etc. The wisdom teeth were
still in their alyeoh. The lower jaw
was prognathous to an extent almosi
calling to mind the muzzle of an ami
nal. The canine teeth were not very
highly developed, as in anthropoi6
apes. The bones % the limbs wee en-
tirely in accord with the tyre known
to us in paleolith;c man, the fenm
massive and stubby, the radius cured

o~'.,e...~s IN Bosnia,

Bosnia is a land where a mans
surname very often varies according
to his religion. In the old days fami-
lies often divided their members be-
tween Christianity and Islam SO as
to be certain to have friends on the
winning side, much as old Scottish
families in some cases deliberately
divided themselves between Jacobite
and Hanoverian. In such Bosnian
cases. Sir Charles Eliot explains, all
representatives of the original family
recognize each other as relatives, but
generally they use different names
for the two branches, conveying the
same meaning in Slavonic and Turk
ish respectively For example, there
are the names Raikovich and Jenetich
tRai and ''Jennet" both meaning
paradiseD, and Soi5olich and Shahin-
agich t"Sokor' and "Shahin' both
meaning falcon).
