THE SIMPLE LIFE.
No Trouble For Australian Aborigines
to Break Camp.

No Trouble For Australian Aborigines
to Break Camp.
An Australian abOrigine breaks the
monotony of his life by frequent visits
to other camps, but his preparations
for these holidays have a simplicity
about them which must appeal to many
a worried housewife. 1t is thus de
scribed by Messrs. Spencer and Gillen
In Across Australia"
Apart from ceremonies and dances,
the one great break in the monotony
Of life is paying visits to strange
camps. Packing up Is not a tedious
process. The man simply walks out of
camp. carrying his spears. spear
thrower. boomerangs and shield; the
woman takes the youngest child across
her hip. balances a pitchi on her head.
and, with one arm round the child
and a digging stick in her free hand.
she Is ready for the road. The girl
children and younger ome look after
the puppies. which are never left be-
hind on any account, and. when IN
able to walk, are carried in pitchis like
young babies.
1.-TWO minutes at most is all the time
required for an aboriginal family to
pack up and start and there is no
trouble in regard to the house while
the owners are away. If any n
chooses to occupy it during their abb
sence he can do so, but the owners
will see at a glance who has been in
possession while they have been
away"

frey a Great Idea.
The element of chance plays an i'm
portant role in invention and in no
case is this more strikingly illustrated
than in that Of Thomas Godfrey, the
American who improved upon the
quadrant, or. rather. devised the sex
tant, the basic notion for which he
got by noting the reflection Of the SUE
from a pail of water.
Godfrey was a glazier by trade, but
he had q taste for mathematics and
was a man of some culture.
John Hadley had also invented q
sextant. apparently a development Of
a suggestion Of Newton's, found among
his papers at his death. Godfrey an
ticipated Hadley by about one year,
but for a long time his claims were
not recognized. Hadley receiving the
entire credit.
The glazier thus received his inspira-
ton for the instrument that was TO
prove of such value to mariners. One
day, while replacing a pane of glass

sidewalk. The observant glaZier saw
the sun reflected from the window on
which he had been at work into the
bucket Of water. His mind quickly
perceived the significance OF the situa-

DETECTIVE IN L0RIMER
CASE TELLS STORY
Repeats Details of Trapping MCGOWAN
With Dictagraph ON Cross
Examination.

Washington, Feb. 8,The story Of how
private detective and a phonograpl
figured in the alleged trapping OF
Charles MctioRan, a witness in the
I.orimer senatorial investigation, was
continued yesterday before the special
Senate committee.
A. G. Bailey, a detective who has al
legged that when MCGOWAN admitted
to him that he had received money for
tc ..ifyng as a Hines-L orimer witness,
Il photographic record of the alleged
admission was made BY a machine con
cealed under a table cloth, continued on
the stand
Attorney w. J. Hynes, representing
particularly Edward Hines, the lumber
iGan first took Bailey in hand. For Is
years, the witness said, he had been
''roping" for detective agencies.
We don't understand roping' inter-
rupted Chairman Dillingham;.
"That is what we call getting mans
confidence and leading him TO tell things
he otherwise would not tell, explained
Bailey.
Chairman Dillingham; demanded to
know why Bailey had not called in a
third party to hear McGowan's tad
mission.
There was nobody to call in"
What No man in ReginaY'
Bailey said he had not proposed to
try the dictagraph or third man un-
til he and AIeGowan were in Chicago.
Couldn't you have worked the dicta
graph in Chicago a. well as in Toron-
TOT" insisted the chairman.
The witness first said he could not
account for il" Later he explained
his office told him after he came 10
Chicago that he need only keep in touch
with McGowan as the committee was
considering disseminating his work
Isn't the reason you did not get a
third man to hear Mcfiowan on your
hunting trip or in Regina or Chicago
because he never made any such state
neBt as YOU charger demanded Attor-
hey Hines.
Il don't think MCGOWAN will 90 on
the stand and deny it," Bailey retorted
as he turned to face young McGowan.
