Philosophy of Slang.

A man In middle life recalls the
slang of his boyhood with some such
indulgent wonder as that with which
an elderly woman looks at the fashion
plates of her early youth-"snide,"
"cheese It," "sheeny." chestnut"
"spoony," or even those of more re-
cent coinage, "snap," "skiddoo," "twen-
ty-three," thirty cents" They were ar
tifcially changed with meaning, and
their effervescence is irretrievably
gone, writes Robert P. Utter in, Harp
er's. Lemon" and lobster" are near
ly as fat With disappearance Of q
certain kind of early Victorian prud-
cry has gone the vogue Of such terms
as '1nexpressibles" for trousers. Du
Maurier's once famous novel has al
most reached the vanishing point In
the perspective Of time, and we no
longer speak Of feet as 'Tr1lbys." Il
is not safe, however, to prophesy that
because q word come from a proper
name it will fade as fades the fame or
notoriety of the person. We have for
gotten what "Edgarism" is, but we
still understand "Bowdlerize." "Fletch-
erize" may yet make Fletcher immor-
tai, even as derrick" preserves in the
dictionaries the name Of once IA
nous hangman.

PAST MASTER OF TRACKERS
Native Australian Is More Deadly
Than Bloodhound When Trailing
Criminal Through Desert.

The art Of the professional tracker Is
fascinating thing to watch. The old
time western plainsman could trail a
deer for two days through the forest,
the modern White mountain Apache Of
Arizona will follow a moccasined man
over broken jagged lava country there
are said to be tribes in the interior Of
Brazil who can track for short dis
tances by scent. But the king and past
master Of all trackers, the man who
can make an Apache look like an ap-
prentice Boy Scout, is the black fellow
of Australia. He will perform feats Of
tracking that are almost beyond belief.
The native Australian peoples are
ranked very low in the scale of human
1ty, and it may be because they are the
most primitive of all races that they
retain an almost animal delicacy of
perception. They add to it, however, q
very fine reasoning power In the things
of the bush, and by combining the two
qualities they can tell not only where
the man or the animal they track Is
going, but even what he is doing on
the way.
Ihe most spectacular exploits OF the
trackers have been accomplished in
the pursuit of criminals, on whose trail
they are more deadly than blood
hounds. The Australian mounted po-
liceman takes a black tracker along
when he follows criminal into desert
or bush, and that settles 1t. The track
er will stay on the trail until the end
Of it is reached. 1t may take day or
week or a month-in one instance IL
took ten weeks-but the black fellow
never loses the trail for long. He will
trail across rocks, across wind-blown
sand, through tangle of other foot
prints, he will pick up the. track again
If the quarry takes to the water, and
he will report accurately the condition
of the man pursued, whether he is
strong or weakening.
So expert do these natives become in
tracking that they can recognize a
friend or an enemy as readily by his
footprints as by his face. Personal
Identification of footprint by an ex-
pert black tracker is accepted as good
evidence in court Of law. Such a
tracker can even recognize the hoof-
mark of almost every horse that is
known to him.

New LIoht.Weiuht ALLOWS.

Two new lightweight alloys are In
teresting recent patents. The alloy OF
aluminium with 10 per cent Of calcium,
produced by a somewhat difficult OPP
Grafton, is claimed to be not only much
harder and more durable than alumi-
mum alone, but to be more easily ma
chined. 1t is also to 10 per cent
lighter, unlike aluminium hardened
with copper or zinc. 1t Is pronounced
especially suitable for automobile and
aircraft castings, and for other pur>
poses requiring lightness, strength and
resistance to corrosion. The other al
10y Is a heavier one of aluminium and
iron, containing at least 70 per cent OF
the former, with one to six Of the lat
ter. A small amount Of zinc, copper.
nickel, cadmium, magnesium or man.
ganese is allowable, but the proportion
Of silicon must be kept very low. The
special claim for this alloy is that Its
freedom from risk of cracking and its
increased density, preventing leakage
of gases that might cause premature
explosion, adapt 1t for fuses and de-
tonators for explosive shells.
