kLACK FELLOWS OF AUSTRALIA

It is a fact that it is hard to tracli
2lbe Au-tralian aborigines anytli j
Useful. They are naturally lav and
fndo eut, unsettled, and of a roving
isposition. 'J'hey will not stay Urn
tany place, and if raised from their
(degraded position into more coinio t-
ftble conditions necessaaiiiic ine
breaking with their natural mode ot
living, they will almost invariably re
turn to this at their first opportunity,
and the same may I said of the half
castes, who otherwise are far superior
to their sable parents and their rela
tives.
It U an oft-repeated occurrence in
Australia that a half-caste child has
bean removed when 8 or 10 years old
to the surroundings of ciY.lizatioii,
bas been given an education equal to
any white child of the better clashes
of the community, and notwith
standing this, upon coming into con
tact with his own race, has returned
to the black fellows' camp, ignoring
book learning, fine linen, and the
comforts of civilized life.
In two capacities the black fellows
have been found satisfactory as
trackers and in the native police. I
can only find a correct expression for
their power of tracking by calling it
instinct 1 have been with them
searching)r men whose every trace
had been practically lost, but the
black tracker has found them in spite
of all. They are more sure than
bloodhounds. When the track ceases,
through some mysterious agency,
they seem to know where to tlnd it
again.
In the native police they are very
useful as trackers, This police con
sists of small troops of mo'intcd, uni
formed black fellows uuder command
of European officers. Tney act as
gendarmes in the outlying districts
and are principally used for the pur
pose of bringing marauding blacks to
account. It is not uncommon that
the up-c mutry blacks spear the cat
tie on the station, or murder travelers
or settlers, and it is principally in
such cases that the native police be
come useful.
The manner in which they surprise
a camp of savage aborigines is char
acteristic. Having ascertained that
they are near a camp some of llieiu
dismount and strip to the skin. Then
thev fasten their carbine t i their
ankle by means of a piece of rope w
a chain, and, trailing it through the
long grass, approach the camp.
The unsuspecting b'a ks come to
meet their sable brothers, when,
quick as lightning, the trooper
stoops, brings his carbine to a level
and sends death and destruction into
the camp.
The aboriginal thinks a good deal
more of his dogs than of his women.
Dogs are always found alwut the
camp in large nuiuliers, I hey are
of a mongrel breed and generally
starved to ferocity. The black fellow
v inost places is a polvgaiuist and
his wives are used lor carrying every
thing from their babies to their hus
band's weapons including all their
camp paraphernalia, rations, or what
ever else they may wish to transport,
while the lordly master marches along
with perhaps a waddle or a bomerang
as the only burden to impede his pro
gress. Hut if, as in manv Instances, tho
blacks be savage, the white men with
whom they come into contact are no
le-a so. The life of a black fellow is
counted as nothing, and the depre
dations perpetrated upon them by
settlers are numerous and often par
ticularly cruel.
The spearing of a few head of cattle
on a station, where thousands are
grazing on the runs, has often cost
the lives of many bla k fellows, and
1 know of several instances where
the camp has been raided and the
-women carried way by white men,
while it is a fact that there are set
tiers who have made it a paint to
shoot any black fellow found on their
vast domains, to avenge some mur
der committed In the first place by
the blacks. Callfurnian.
A snake not often heard of, at, least
in A merfca, is the liver-colored snake
villi two heads, or perhaps they should
e called mouths, though it does not
laveiwo mouths at the same tim!
I hey are re?ersible mouths, occupying
h . opposite ends every six months. It
l ea with the two ends crossed on each
other, as with folded hands. Every
six months, according to the Hartford
Times the change of the seasons re
verses the fanctions of ttie two ends.
i lie head becoming the tail and the tail
incoming the head. The mouth at one
end heals: or closes up all but a small
opening, while the opposite end be
comes the mouth for the next six
mouths. A friend of miue in India,
who told me about this remarkable
snake, said he refused for a long time
to believe that the functions of the two
ends were reversed every six months,
but one dav he found one of these
snakes in a jungle, and carried it home,
where lie had a physician examine it.
The result was, the physician confirmed
the stories of the creature and my
friend was skeptical no longer. 1
learned no other name for this singular
reptile than that of "the liver colored
snake."
Alexander the Great, the couquerer
of the world, died when he was thirty-
two years old. Maurice of Saxony, the
greatest captain and statesman of his
time died at tue same age. The duke
ot YVeimer, one of Adolphus' generals,
died at the age of thirty six, while (lus-
tavus Adolphus died at the age o.
thirty-eight. Pascal, the great French
writer, and Kaphael. the great Italian
artist, both died at thirty-seven.

Von Siemens' Fir-it Patent.
It may not be generally know that
Von Siemens applied for his Hrst
patent from tte cell of a prison. Af
ter graduation from the artillery
ichool in Berlin, the oune man,
then only 21 years old, was attached
to a regiment In Wittenberg. It was
there he began his experiments, to
bhegreat horror of his landlady, who
upbraided him day aftei day for
staining his clothes, furniture, and
the window panes with, gold, silver,
md acid spots. She could not see
t.hn use of "wastins money for such
Ihings." But Von Siemens went on
with his experiments, and with stain
Ing his furniture and clothes. He be

Ind one of its most popular members.
His popularity, however, lei to his
taking part ot second in a duel be
tween two of his comrades. As a
result, ho wa sentenced to Ave years'
Imprisonment in the fortress of
Madgeburg. The landlady was the

parture, adds the World's Progress,

There, too, a month after
bis incarceration, he perfected his
method of galvanic gilding and ap

tell. It was granted, and with It a

is never received with less glee.
