The wonderful flights of the boom erang, described by travelers, nro sel dom ren to-day, nnd, though there nre ninny nntives of Austrnlla who enn nuiko n hooniernug go to n distance of 240 feet before It retivns to them, there seems to be only one trustworthy account of n much more sensational throw. According to this account a boomernnj described five circles In the air, traveled to a distnnce of about 270 feet from the thrower nnd rose to height of 135 feet. There nre two princlpnl types of this wenpon, as described by a recent experimenter. The first, shown In figure No. 1, Is bent almost to a right angle, nnd lins the cross section shown in No. 2. The cross section diminishes slightly town id the ends, nnd the weight Is nbout 230 grams. The arms are twisted from the plane, like the Mills of a windmill, being rotated in the direction of a rlghthnuded screw. A boomerang of the second type Is shown in figure No. il. It lins a cross -section similar to that of a boomerang of the first type. Its arms, however, are twisted In the opposite direction, and thus Involve a left handed rotation. On both types ouo side Is more round d than tbo other. A 'boomerang of the first type Is held 'With the more rounded aide to the left, and the concave edge forward, and Is thrown In a horizontal direc tion. As much rotation as posslblo la given to it, but Instead of remaining parallel to Its original direction, "the plane of rotation has nn angular veloc ity, first about the direction of trans m PRESIDENT BUYS DRAWING OF THE PUNCH CARTOON.

After It has described nenrly a com plete circle the boomerang goes more slowly, nnd finally falls near the feet of the thrower. In figures No. 4 nnd 5 Its flight Is Illustrated by means of projections on a horizontal nnd on ft vertlenl plnno. Vntll the velocity be- conies smnll the up hill pnth Is nearly straight, but the moment thnt point bns been reached the weapon starts to return nlong a track clone to thnt of the nsceut. If the thrower wishes the wenpon to describe a second circle In front of him, he must cast It from him with much greater force, so that after one. circle has been described It niny still have sufficient velocity to make n second one. Moreover, after the wenp ou has described tne first circle and while It Is over the thrower's head tho axis of rotation must point in nn up ward direction In front of him, for If it points behind him the subsequent pnth will be behind his back, and a figure of eight will become possible. If n path with a second loop In front of the thrower Is desired, a boomerang with much twist nnd well rounded should be chosen, nnd the thrower's body, while throwing It, should lenu over to the left.

Millions of ficres For Macarom Wheat THE United States Department of Agriculture has Just an nounced one of the most vnl unblo discoveries of recent yenrs. It Is the Introduction of the drought resisting macaroni wheat, Im ported from the Volga region of East ltussla. This wheat Is adapted to seml-nrld districts and can be profita bly grown In the great plain regions of the United States far beyond tho 100th meridian. Already astounding results hnve been obtained by the Government, In South Dakota, where the crop has Just been hnrvested from one locality. i Territory in whtch imcmwii wh&t S3SSS)S joloi)8 M N Sunn)r rainfall u U lMt to mcn. - '!;::' Territory to which macaroni wheo,r ti)o,y b grown, but fh quality , ' ,ot the grain wilt nb so good It Is reported thnt the yield of maca roni wheat will be from thirty -five to forty bushels per acre, which Is one third more per acre thnn the average yield of tho regular wheat from this section. The establishment of this new whent Industry will be of Incalculable benefit to agriculture in the seml-nrld plains. A million or more of acre enn thus be given to profitable whent raising, which, on ncconnt of drought, have heretofore been entirely Idle. Macaroni wheats differ radically from the ordinary bread wheats. Tho grain is much harder, and In the best varieties contains nn unusual amount of nitrogen nnd a correspondingly smnll amount of starch. Tho quantity nnd quality of the gluten make It ex ceedingly valuable for making maca roni. v The area outlined by the Department of Agriculture where macnroul wheat will succeed best I a loug belt extend ing northward aud southward through tho great plain from North Dakota to the Texas const. In width It embraces nearly the wholo of the two Dakotas, Nebraska, the greater pnrt of Kansas, Oklahoma and the enstern sections of Colorado, New Mexico and of Central Texas. The most remnrkable thing regarding macaroni whent Is this: It is not only truo that It can be grown in dry dis tricts, but It must be growu there In order to produce the best quality of grain, and up to a minimum of about ten Inches of an annual rainfall the tfrler the better. Probably the most Important an nouncement from a commercial stand point as a result of the new wheat In dustry Is the fact of Immediate mar ket for these wheats. The entire pres ent crop of this year, which will be About 100,000 bushels, was contracted (or even before harvested at a good average price. Another Important business enterprise may be brought Into existence, for the reason thnt the mnenronl wheat from Southern Eu rope Is succeeding so well In the great plains as to warrant the establishment of mnenronl manufacturing. About lS.rNKMHX) pounds of foreign mnenronl Is Imported Into this country each year, solely because being mnde from true mnenronl wheat It Is considered to be of better quality than our domes tic macaroni, which Is mnde nlmnst entirely from bread whent. All the costs of the Imported product cnu now he saved to this country If the farmers nnd millers will furnish our factories with the right kind of material, nnd the factories nre anxious to hnve the same. The nrea of wheat In the United Stntes In 18'J! wns over 44,000,000 acres. At tho lowest estimate, there fore. If the average yield of wheat is Increased only one bushel per nere we will hnve nn Inerenso of 44,000,000 bushels, worth nt the former price for will luttf f d bcit, tnd without irrigator 1000 nearly sixty cents per bushel about $20,000,000. These figures will give at least an Idea of the possibili ties for the new macaroni wheat Indus try. New York Herald, NECK AND NECK. A Queer Sport That Find Favor In to Bavarian Alp. One of the queerest sports is that known ns "Streck Katzenzlchen" (a word which absolutely defies trans lation) which Is practiced by the sturdy sons of the Bavarian Alps. It Is a trlnl of neck strength. Two men, says a writer In the New York Herald, lie down facing each other. Then a, rope Is passed over their heads, as shown in the illustration. Two chalk lines are drawn between the contestants. The object Is to draw the oppoueut so far that his finger tips shall be beyond the second Hue. This rough pastime menus sore necks and bleeding ears, but It Is greatly enjoyed by all beholders. The winner usually receives a cash prise, and the contest Is Invariably followed by dancing on "the arena where the bloody conflict wns pulled," as the local prints de scribe it.

With only one exception the gla ciers of Switzerland are diminishing steadily. Since 1876 the Rhone glacier has decreased In length at the rale of over 31 yards a year. The Italian government has estab lished labaratorics of micrography and bacteriology and chemistry as depen dencies of the sanitary bureau of the minister of the Interior. A depart ment of the bacteriological laboratory is to be devoted to the preparation nnd control of serums and similar products, Whatever may be the cause of the aurora borealls Its height does not appear to be limited by the atmos phere. The rays sometimes touch tho earth In Scandinavia, coming between the observer and elevated places, but Flogel, 30 years ago, obtained data showing that a large aurora seen In northern Germany must have had a height of 60 miles, and that the rays often rise to 450 miles, their points glowing with red light. Petrolan, says Parfumenr, is a min eral soap, the active principle of which is an Ichthyol-llke compound. It oc curs In bituminous rock In the Cau casus, lg of a dark color and of the consistence of an ointment, soluble in ether, and does not turn rancid. It finds application in the treatment of diseases of the skin, such as eczema, acne, psoriasis, etc. It acts as an anti septic and drying agent without pro ducing irritation pf the skin. The bird fauna of Iceland Is credit ed by Henry H. Slater with 103 spec ies. Of these three are residents, 27 sum mer migrants, 21 occasional visitors and 18 rare stragglers. The land birds are few, including only seven residents and five that rome In summer to breed, but the moat Interesting birds now probably are the northern wren, the great northern diver and the Ice land falcon. Singing birds are few. There are 16 species of ducks and geese and seven hlrda of prey, but the rock ptarmigan is the only game bird. Ever since the 17th century It lias been observed that the sea near Jus saro, Finland, acted on the needles of ships' compasses In a very peculiar manner. These erratic movements of the needle were long suspected to be due to a deposit of Iron ore under the ocean's bed. Until recently this was mere conjecture. Recently, however, experts have drilled at the point of greatest disturbance, and they have been rewarded by striking a deposit of pure Iron ore at a depth of about 75 feet. A company Is being organized to work the deposits, as It Is believed they are very extensive, as compass needles behave In an erratic manner at several other points in the immedi ate vicinity. Prof. Becquerel carried In his waist coat pocket for several periods, amounting to about six hours In all. a cardboard box enclosing a sealed glass tube containing a few grains of radio active barium chloride. In 10 (lays' time a red mark corresponding to the tube was apparent on the skin. Inflam mation followed, the Bit In peeled oft nnd left a suppurating sore which did not. heal for a month. On the second occasion a similar experience resulted from carrying a tube of the same sort. Other experimenters have had similar experiences. It Is to be remembered that the energy of these radioactive emanations, whatever they are, Is giv en continuously and so far as we now know, eternally, without any corre sponding increment of energy from any known source. The perpetual motion seems to be realized in a novel form. The most interesting problem of sci ence, at the present time, is to discover what is the source of the emitted rays, and the exact nature of the emanations. Elaotrlo Ennr from Wind. From long and careful studies ot the atmospheric conditions In north ern Germany Herr M. O. Couz of Ham burg has taken up the question of the Industrial .application of the winds which are always abundant In that re gion. He baa discovered a system ot electric regulators to obviate the in convenience of the variation in the ve locity of the wind. To put his ideas in practice Herr Cous appealed to F, Neumann, a manufacturer of wind mills at Wlttklel, who put a large windmill at his dlsposlton. The wheel had a regulator to keep its speed con stant for a certain number of turns when the minimum velocity of the wind to keep it moving at that speed had been exceeded. This wheel, which in a tempest can furnish 30 horse power, charges a large storage battery for electric lighting and power at Wltt klel. Some experiments were made last September, and the results sur passed all expectation. These experi ments, which were admirably con ducted, make It possible to hope that small localities will be able to secure electric light and power from the wind at almost no cost. The expense ot establishing such an installation is extremely small In comparison to the Immense advantages which It secures. Electrical Review. nyilrOR-an nt an lllimilnnnt. Oxygen and hydrogen are produced on a large scale In Germany by the electrolytic decomposition ot water. The hydrogen so produced is now largely used for inflating military bal loons, but It Is thought that It may roon find a new field as an illumlnant. Experiments have been made with It to this end by compressing It in steel cylinders. I With a proper burner the relative cost for equal Illuminating power of hydrogen and acetylene is a 25 for hydrogen and 59 for acetylene.
