AUSTRALIANS GREAT HUNTERS
knowledge of the Habits of Animals
Makes Up for Crude Weapons
and Lack of Endurance.

In endurance and speed the Aus
tralian aborigine is not the equal of the
American Indian, and his weapons OF
wood and poorly fashioned stones are
effective only at short range, says the
National Geographic Magazine. But
as hunter the native Australian is
marvelOusly adapted to his environ.
ment. His success lies in an intimate
knowledge of the habits of the animals
on land, in the ground, in trees and
under water, and his wonderfully de.
veloped power of observation.
He decoys pelicans by initiating
their crys, catches ducks by diving be-
low them, locates an OpOssum in a
tree by marks on the bark or by the
flight of mosquitoes, finds sharks by
observing the action OF, birds and fol.
lows bee to its store Of honey.
Any animal which leaves a track
however dim in sand, on rock or in
grass falls an easy prey to the native.
Children are taught to track lizards
and snakes over bare rocks and to find
their absent mothers by following
tracks too indistinct to serve as a
guide for any European. When q white
man is lost in the desert or a child
strays from home the final resort is to
secure q "black tracker."

"Stump-Jumpv PloWs,

The fact that practically the entire
surface of the areas susceptible TO
cultivation in western Australia is
heavily wooded and that the dearth
and cost of labor preclude the clearing
of the land of stumps and roots, has
led to the invention of a special type
of plow known as the stump jump"
sThis is so constructed that it will roll
over stumps and other Instructions ly-
ing on the ground. The plOw was
invented by an Australian and, so far,
has been manufactured only in that
country. In breaking up new lands
preference is given to the stump-jump
disk plow, as it will cut many roots
that a mOldboard plow would leave un-
touched. AS the land becomes clean
er of roots after two or three years
application of this treatment, the
stump-jump moldboard is preferred be-
cause of its better soil turning quail
ties.

Elevators of Ancient DAYS.

The earliest mention of a device in
I! any way resembling the modern ele-
vator or "lift" may be read in Vitru.
vius, who describes hoisting machine
which was invented by Archimedes
This elevator of the second century B.
c. was worked by ropes which were
cOiled upon winding drum by a cap
stan and levers. The same writer re-
fers to another similar machine which
was made to rotate by a man who
walked inside the capstan. Such a
primitive elevator is still in use to lift
passengers and freight from the first
to the second story Of a convent on
Mount Sinai.

Uniformity of THOUGHT.

No one who has traced the current
of human thought from the earliest
sources revealed TO us down to the
present time can fail to be struck
with its uniformity, writes John Adams
Dix. Indeed, the writer's in succeeding
ages seem, at first glance, to be but a
succession of plagiarists; and yet they
are evidently, on closer view. uncOn-
sciOus mitators-constrained to be so
because the current of thought in all
that relates to the abstract runs for
ever in the same channels. Thus the
utterances of the present are little
else than echoes of the voices of the
past. There are passages in Cicero
almost word for word like others in
the Psalms of David, and in st. Paul's
epistles word for word like others In
the words of Cicero.

disgust: swell, 1 want you to under.

She had risen from the rustic seat,
and turned away as she spoke. Her
tone and manner reused something in
Lewis that drove him to say: "Do you
mean that for me?'
II hope it doesn't apply to YOU" she
answered, with n strong emphasis on
the "hOpe."
IF you have any dOubt-about me
being a coward II think there is
nothing more to be said" He turned
and walked away.
Vera, blazing with the heat of the
discussion, said nothing to call him
back. She loved him, and had told
him so when he asked her. But just
now she was thinking of nothing but
her disappointment, as it seemed to
her. in the patriotism of the man she
had placed so high.
Lewis, also disappointed in the I'M
comprehending mind of Vera, and
hurt TO the heart by her words. made
no move toward rd'reconciliation. And so
silence fell between them. Vera. with
the pride which has been bred by the
foolish convention of ages, would not
make the first move by acknowledging
she wished for an amnesty, so two
young people who really loved each
other, and whose hearts were breaking
over the separation, went their several
ways, and tried to forget.
In less than three weeks Vera heard
that Lewis had sailed, in the interest
of his firm, for England. Vera worked
In the war relief societies, and indus
triously knitted socks for the soldiers.
One day friend laughingly asked her
If she was knitting them for Gilbert

sharply: Il thought you knew these

WHY "RED' is MOI SURNAME
Not Used Like Black, White and
Brown, Because It Is Modifica-
tion Of the Original Word.

Black, white and brown are common
surnames in English, but there is no
English family called Red. The for
mer names were given originally be-
cause of the complexion of the persons
who received them. 1t seems strange
that in a people among whom red
heads were common none should have
acquired the name "Red," especially
as this is frequently bestowed as a
nickname.
The Century Dictionary explains this
as follows:
"Red, like lead Oed), with which 1t
is phonetically parallel, had in Middle
English a long vowel, which has be-
come shortened. The long vowel re-
mains, however, in the surnames Read.
Reade, Reed, Reid, which represent
old forms of the adjective, and the ex.
istence of which as surnames explains
the almost total absence of the expect.
ed surname, Red, parallel to Black,
Brown, White, ETC."
The equivalent Of "red" in foreign
languages is just as common a sur
name as are the equivalents of "black,"
"white" and 'brown." for the reason
that in them there has been no modi-
ficatiOn of the original word. In French
we find "Lenoir, Leblanc, Lebrun and
Leroux; in German, Schwartz, Weiss,
Braun and Roth; in Italian, Neri, Bian-
chi, Bruni and Rossi; in Spanish, Ne
gro, Blanco, Moreno and Rojo as the
corresponding surnames.

said.
''It has but one meaning to me, in

something akin to contempt. She

ton the young man made. Like thou
sands of others, she had fired up at
the thought Of ''insult to the flag"
"love of country" ETC., and had not
gone beyond the boundaries of her own
land to consider q world republic. In
some ways she was undoubtedly right,
but her mental equipment could not

Ownership of Railroads.

No country in Europe owns all of
its railroads, but the movement tow
ard government ownership has made
considerable progress. Where govern
ment ownership does not exist the
government exercises large degree
of control. In Germany most of the
railroads belong to the various states
of the empire, by far the longest mile
age being in the hands of Prussia.
Russia has more state ownership than
private ownership of railroads and
Great Britain has no public ownership.

U-BOAT WAR SERIOUS
 ADMITS BRITISHER
(By Review Leased Wire.)

Germany's submarine campaign was described to parliament by Sir Ed ward Carson, first lord of the British admiralty, as serious, but he said measures had been taken by the ent- ente under which it would be mitigat- ed by degrees. From February l, when Germany began her intensified submarine warfare. to February IS. allied and neutral vessels aggregating 304 900 tons had been sunk, Sir Ed ward said, as compared with tonnages of 234.000 and 24,000 respectively for the same period in December and January.
 Sir Edward announced that the a,l- miralty had a record of forty en- counters with submarines during the first IS days of February and instanced several occasions where underwater boats had been captured or sunk, but without going into particulars.
 Coincidentally the German minister of the navy, in an address before the Reichstag asserted that Germany's submarine expectations had been sur passed and that there was reason to suppose that not a single U-boat had been lost.

 Dr. Helfferich said he recognized the capabilities of British agriculture and their willingness to endure pri- vatiOns, but pointed out that natural limitations could not be escaped. For instance. he said. Germany's normal crop of bread grain before the war was 230 kilograms per head while England's was but thirty; Germany's potato crop was 650 kilograms per head and England's only 150. while the stock of cattle per thousand in- hatitants in Germany was 320 and in
