POINTING THE BONE Queer Superstition of tho Natlvo Blncks of Australia. The native blacks of Australia are steped in superstition. A black fellow will on no account go near the spot where another black has been burled. He has a deep rooted aversion to one particular bird the wagtail because, he says, "him all day talk, talk along a white feller, tellum all about black feller," and no opportunity Is lost of killing these little birds. Alany tribes "bury" their dead by sticking them up Into the forks of trees and there leaving them till the flesh has either dropped or been tak en, leaving tho bones clean. These bones are then taken down, the larg er ones buried and the smallest hand ed round as keepsakes to those senar ly related to the deceased. Should one black fellow wish the death of a rival or enemy ho points the bone at him. This means that he takes ono of his late relation's bones from his dllly bag and points it, In. the presence of witnesses, at tho man ho wishes to get rid of, all the time pouring forth threats and curses. Strange as It may seem, the one pointed at will often languish and eventually die, perhaps In a month, perhaps In a year, for no sooner Is the bone pointed than ho makes up his mind to die, and thero Is no sav ing him. How Hail' Grows. A single hair, which can support a weight of two ounces, is so elactic that It ma:- be stretched to one-third of its entire length and then regain Its former size and condition. Dr. Plncus has measured tho growth of hair by cutting off circles about one Inch in diameter from the heads of healthy mea, and so comparing the growth of tho patches with that of the rest of the hair. He found that the growth rate generally became slower after cutting; that in some cases the hair on tho patches grew at tho same rato as the rest, but that it never grew any faster. The ordinary length of tho hair on tho head rang.s between twenty two Inches and about forty-flvo inches, the latter being considered unusually long. It has beon calcu lated that the hair cl the beard grows at the rato of one line and a half a week; this will glvo a length of six and a half Incnes in the course of a year. For a u.an eighty years of age, who has been a clean shaver from rarly maturity, no less than twenty-seven feet or beard must have fallen befoi . the edge of the razor. His Uncle. The Prince of . ale is fona of telling a good stoi. to his friends In connection with his visit .o Ottawa some few years ago. The Prince then Duke of York stole away for a quiet bicycle spin early one morn ing, and In his ramblings met a farmer, heading marketward, his wagon temporarily st: lied by the loss of a nut belonging to the whlf lletree bolt. His Royal Highness, with his usual democratic kindness, assisted him in putting things right. On parting, tne farmer expressed his rough thanks and asked .. ho might Know the name of the person to whom he wel Indebted. Tne roy al cyclist replied modestly; "I am the Duke of Yon.. And may I ask whom I have the pleasure of uddress lng?" A broad, amused smlli beam ed from the farmer's face as be said; "Ale! Me! Why, I'm your uncle, the Czar of Russia!" A Most Useful Event. The way in which the first auto matic steam engine was produced was undoubtedly this and it shows how comparatively easily a really great Invention may sometimes be made. It was tho duty of Humphrey Potter, a boy, to turn a stop-cock to let the steam Into the cylinder and one to let In water to condense It at certain periods of each stroke of the engine, and. If this were not done at the right time, the engine would stop. He noticed that these move ments of the stopcock handles took place In unison with the movements of certain portions of the beam of the engine. He simply connected valve handles with the proper por tions of the beam by strings, and the engine became automatic a -t cvri'ful result. DISMEMBERED BODY . FOUND IN STREET Mysterious Stranger Left It and Vanished. New York, June 13. Carefully tied up In two separate packages, the headless body of a murdered man was found by the police at 7:30 last evening In front of Public School No. 1, Henry nnd Oliver streets. For nearly two hours these bun dles lay on the sidewalk unnoticed by the pnsslng crowds and guarded by a fourteen-year-old boy who had been employed to watch them by an unidentified man. Yet each package, wrapped In black oilcloth, was marked "Black Hand" In bold lettering ono In blue chalk and the other In what was evidently blood. Within two hours after the dis covery of the body the entire Italian Detective Bureau, directed by Capt. Arthur Carey and reinforced by a dozen headquarters men, were at work. Clues there were none, and up to a late hour small progress had been made toward a solution of the crime. The contents of the two bundles gave no hint either to the Identity of the victim or his slnyer. One package contained the torso nnd the other the lower half of the body. The head was missing. A knife wound In the right side of the chest marked where the death blow had struck. Another In the palm of the left hand Indicated that In u fight for life the doomed man had clutched tho assassin's knife blade. Evident es were plentiful thnt the murderer or muiderers had made haste to cut up the victim's body. They had not even taken time to re move any of tho clothing save the coat and ulioes. Seemingly they had decapitated the dead man with an axe or heavy-blnded knife, and then severed the legs with nn ordinary saw. In performing this operation the murderer had cut right through the clothing. Tho torso was still Inclosed in a light-colored shirt closely striped in black. On the feet were green and black-striped hose. In the cuffs of the shirt were cheap link buttons of gaudy pattern. There was no scrap of paper in the pockets to provide a clue. Neither was thero a mark of any sort on the clothing, Practically ail the police had to work upon was the story told by tho boy who had been hired to watch the packages. He is Joseph Tataro, of No. 31 Hamilton street. He was standing at Catherine and Aladison streets, he said, when ho noticed a man coming from the di rection of the Catherine street ferry. The boy's attention was caught by the fact that the man was staggering under the weight of two big black bundles which ho carried, one on each shoulder. Halting beside the boy the man with the bundles said: "Do you want to make live cents?" "Sure thing," was the reply. "All right," said tho stranger, "just come along with me and watch my bundles for a minute while 1 go see a friend." They walked up Catherine street to Aladison street and along Madison to Oliver street, halting in front of Public School No. 1. Here the man lowered his bundles to the sidewalk, placed them close to the schoolyard fence nnd walked rapidly away in the direction of Chatham Square. "I'll be back In a few minutes," were his parting words. An hour passed, but he did not return and tho boy became uneasy. It was growing dark and the lad lost courage. He was about to leave when n dog came up, shifted at the bundles and darted away. "What is in your bundles?" asked the owner of the dog, who was James Tobln, of No. 67 Aladison street. "You can search me!" said the boy. "I'm keeping them for a man who promised to come back." Tobln watched the antics of the dog and said: "I guess we had best call a police man. That dog don't waste time fussing about nothing." So while Tobln nnd his dog mount ed guard young Tataro looked up Policeman George W. Hoffman and told his story. The bundles, the dog, Tobln nnd the boy were all taken together to the station house. When Graft Will Die. The human race will not bo abso lutely perfect until a man can edu cate himself to walk by a two-dollar bill on the sidewalk and not pick It up. Then, indeed, would graft be dead In him.

SAYS SHE HAS BEEN TO HEAVEN Paroled from Reform School, Still Insists that She Went to Paradise. Wichita, Kan., June 13. Allss Eula Wilson, tho Wichita girl who two years ago claimed that she died and went to heaven, has been re leased from the Girls' Industrial School at Belolt and Is again In Wichita living with her parents. She still Insists on the veracity of her Etory. "Of course I Insist tho story Is true," she said. "Do you think I would tell a Ho about such a thing as that? Why, It is Just as plain now as it was that night. I nm not going to give any more lectures and have no Idea that I shall again ap pear in public. I nm going to stay right at homo and help my parents." All of the spring of 1907 Eula Wilson, a slender 11 f teen-year-old girl, lay in bed In a semi-conscious condition. One night when tho doctor wns present she apparently died and the undertaker was called. He came In the morning and found the girl sitting up. She wns evidently entirely well and has never since been sick. She arose from the bed while tho family was around 4ier mourning and walking ncross tho room, stopped, opened her eyes nnd nsked the whereabouts of the Lord. She then told of visiting heaven nnd described It. She said after lingering there n while the Lord called her to Him nnd said she would be sent back to save her friends nnd to work for Him. People came from all over the United States td see the girl and she finally fell under the influence of re ligious fanatics who took her from her parents. The Juvenile Court then stepped In nnd she wns sent to the Industrial School. While at the school more mail arrived for her than for all the officials and tho other Inmates together, but she was not allowed to see it. Airs. Perry, matron of the school, agreed with the attorneys for the child's parents thnt she should be given a parole and it was done. ANNOUNCEMENTS.
