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, catchese 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 tau(ht 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 white
man is lost in the desert or a child
strays from home the final resort is to
secure "black tracker."

HStump-Jump" 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 pillow known as the STUMP jump"
This is so constructed that it will roll
over stumps and other distractions ly-
ing on the ground. The pillow 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 pillow, as it will cut many roots
that moldboard pillow would leave I'M

| BY DOCTORS ORDERS
BY GEORGE BREWSTER.

"In fact, become a tramp for at
least month" concluded the doctor.
Young Wayne Gilbert had carried
out an enterprise in reaA estate that
had taken nerve and hard work, and
at it's conclusion he found himself
shaky. His appetite was gone, he had
touch of insomnia, and every ac-
quaintance he met gave him the same
advice:
$50 to a doctor and then follow his
advice"
The doctor advised a tramp over
country highways.
''Take little or no money" he con-
tinued. "In fact, look like a tramp
feel like tramp and be tramp for
the time being"
Mr.. Gilbert left the Office sneering at
the advice given him, but after day
or two he came to look at it in diff
ferent light.
Oh, yes, there is romance in tramp
ing, and when it is recommended by a
doctor, his advice should be followed.
Young Gilbert came to take this view
Of it after a couple Of days, and set
forth.
One summers afternoon girl of
twenty and her mother and aunt sat
on the veranda of a farmhouse front
ing on prominent highway. The
girl was reading-the others were sew
ing. OF a sudden the reader laid aside
her book, rose, and shaded her eyes
to look down the road.
"Looking for anybody, Dora?" quer-
led the mother.
"It's a tramp coming, I guess"
"But don't you encourage him to
come In here" protested the aunt. II
dreamed the other night that tramp
to whom I was kind rewarded me by
cutting my throat, and 1 don't want
it to prove q true dream"
Dora always pities every tramp
that comes along" apologized the
mother.
"But she shouldn't. Every tramp is
ready to rob and murder. Is he going
to stop here, Dora?"
''He is sitting down to rest. I be-
lieve he is ILL.,"
That tramp was Wayne Gilbert. He
had given the Doctors prescription a
fair trial, and he was more than ready
to abandon it. While limping along
he had been overcome with dizziness
and realized that he was going to be
ill. He sat on the grass with his back
to the fence when G. girl suddenly APP
peared before him.
"Are you ill?" she asked.

Swered.
