THE REAL BOOMERANG.
Not the Political, But the Australian
Bushman Variety,

Not the Political, But the Australian
sushman Variety.
Imagine hurting a bent stick away
from you with all your strength and
having 1t return to the very spot where
you are standing! That is what a
skilled boomerang thrower can do.
More than this, he may throw the stick
so that it will actually fall far behind
him, although hurled directly in front
! The skill of the little brown bushmen,
,0f which We have read SO much, is not
Exaggerated in the least, for the BOOM
!erang welded by an expert is a thing
of magic. 1t will soar through the air
like bird, now up. now just SKIM
ming the surface Of the ground, turning
in cir6les, finally falling just where
1t has been aimed to fall.
The material of which the boomer
ang is made is another feature which
must be considered. 1t can be fashion
ed Of ash or hickory, as stated, but
can also be cut or stamped out Of Gel
luloid and hard rubber. Boomerangs
are nov being sold in two or three
American cities. Several expert throw
ers in this country, however, have
fashioned their own boomerangs no:
only Of celluloid, but of heavy card
board. II the cardboard does not get
wet, it makes a serviceable missile.
Strange to say, celluloid is excellent
for the purpose, because it is light,
very hard to break, and can be worked
into the peculiar curve and twist which
are so necessary to give the boomer
ang its force and direction.
There are a good many kinks" to be
learned to throw the boomerang skill
fully. One is always to throw against
the wind If you want it to come back
to you. 1t is miniature aeroplane,
for it literally sails against the wind
and is borne upward and onward by the
breeze. If the player wants to make
long-distance, straightaway record
he can throw with the wind, but he
must take care to select boomerang
which is heavy-so heavy that it will
not be too much affected by the air
currents. BY pointing the boomerang
at a certain angle, he can make 1t soar
aloft in circles like hawk, until II
may be as high as one hundred feet
above the earth. AS in golf playing,
it is not so much mere strength that
makes long thrower, but skill in aim
ing, the direction, and, in boomerang
throwing, the way in which advantage
may be taken of the air currents.-St
Nicholas.

Extravaganza is a cruel, hooking

to be his guide it points the way to
the sunny heights of success and indie
pendence.
The loose change which many men
throw away uselessly, and worse, Of
ten would form the basis of fortune
and a manly independence. When
money is squandered recklessly, in
stead of friend, it becomes an en-
envy, and turns into scorpions to lash
and sting those who abuse its pow
er, but when good use Is made of it.,
when economy is practiced. then does
money become the strong foundation
on which Is laid the noble edifice of
true manhood. the beauty of which
compels the praise and admiration Of
all beholders.-Madison C. Peters. IN

bucket fits into the one below 1t, and
they are thus "nested," a series OF
them occupying little more space than
one would take up. The tank is filled
with water or with some specially
prepared fire-f1ghting fluid, and holds
enough to insure each bucket being
filed as it is drawn out. There is no
time lost in Selling a bucket and run
ming to another place to fill 1t, and
everyone knows that speed is an es-
sential feature in fighting flames. The
apparatus not only does away with an
unsightly row of buckets. but expe-
dites the work Of combating the blaze
to an important degree.

The False Teeth Trade.

Tic + HISc IetVI IFdUt.
Some idea of the general use of
false teeth may be gathered from the
statement that twenty millions Of
them are exported from America to
England every year. When we con-
slider that probably not more than
half the inhabitants of Great Britain
indulge in the luxury of false teeth,
no matter how many grinders they
may have lost, these figures would
seem to indicate that nearly every
one in England suffers from defective
or missing teeth. AS far as observa-
ton goes, the United States is no bet
ter off than England in this respect
