THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTONJD. 0., THUKSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1894; 8 i THE BOOMERANG, Sure as a Gun Skill of Australians in Throwing a Deadly Weapon. a O MANY MINDS the boomerang simply means a figurative something tbat flys back; a misdeod, a plot, or a scheme thrown out, which, after many days per haps, reacts with dis aster, generally hit ting something or somebody, sometimes its projector. Of political boome rangs there are no end, and indeed the figura tive kinds are Ihc only kinds for which wo have use. The real artido is a weapon of cannibals, originati g with the aborigines Ancfrnlin fnr fhn ns of which WC arO i of far too advanced, unless perhaps in the pri . . .. ?. ..;.tAnlr 111 n to ciple, wnicn seems 10 nt &u biuhh.uj ... .r,- nnlii; Tim vicilnr who travels ill At us- tralia. the land of black swans and duckbills, finds the curious weapon one of tne most inter esting features of tho country. Thcro arc many conjectures as to its origin, but few real facts are known to a certainty. That it was born -with the race is quite possible. Tho tradition among the natives as to its beginning is moro or less of a fable, and somewhat to tho effect that, onco upon a time, there was a canuiuui king wbo was very lazy. Alter dining can on an old friend ho6tretchcd himself out uud linHnmin trin tn rntt TTf TMltifftl til Jit ly er as the leaves of this treo fell they would sometimes sail out from the tree and then come back again. He shaped a piece of wood like one of these BOOHCHAKGH. ieaves, and after a littlo practico he found that he could hurl it so that he might stab his friends in tho buck while ho was facing them in friendly conversation. -This recommended it, and it became popular. That was the boomerang. It is made of hard, tough wood, usually bent in such a way as to follow the gram of tho wood. TMoare rarely found which describe tho same curve, for they vary from an almost straight Stick to a shape like tho letter V. They are from a foot and a half to three feet and a half in lonetii, in width about two and a half inches, and one third of an inch thick. Quo side is convex, tho other flat, and sometimes it has two or three sharpened knife-like edges. The ends, usually rounded, are sometimes also made very sharp. Some are ornamented with strange carvings, and all varying according to different A Native. Sections of the country and iudividnal tribes, each having its own make or style, showing re spectively rough crudcnejs or considerable finifeb, and being cepecially characteristic in the ends or points all of which a boomerang connoisseur will distinguish at once, and locate as to tribe and section. The missile is taken in the hand by one end, Kith the convex edge forward, and with a dex terous twist is projected as if to hit an object directly in front. This is done with a skill that no white man has ever been able to under stand or imitate. When it is thrown the pecu liar nature of the weapon asserts itself. It gradually mes, rotating all tho while very rapidly, and at last takes a retrograde motion and falls back of its projector. The natives themselves cannot explain tho operation, for they admit that they do not know how it is done. A boomerang can be thrown 300 to 800 feet and return to tho thrower. It can be whirled around a house or a tree, hitting a man on the other side with perfect certainty. It is useless for a victim to attempt to get out of the path of the deadly missile, for its path ABOEIGINAL SUHLTKCS. is everywhere. No one knows except tho man who throws it which direction it will lake, but he can know it to a great nicety. A skillful black warior can cause a boomerang to chase a man about a field, and finally rueh at him and nvcr miss its aim, and if tho edge is of proper keenness it will rip him up the back, or cut 5um in two without difficulty. When thrown by the hand of an expert its zigzag motion will kill one after another of a flock of birds flying in a ditect line; so it is not only tho chief fowl producer of tho native Austra lian, but is also his best defense in war. Not long ago there were four nativo North Queonelandtrs in New York, who gave astonish ing exkibitions of skillful boomerang throw ing, fc'eeing is certainly believing, and those onsumption. The incessant wasting of a consumptive can only be over come by a powerful concentrated nourishment like Scott's Emul sion. If this wasting is checked and the system is supplied with strength to combat the disease there is hope of recovery. bnfVfrV'eS.

They have straight hair, and only woro clothes here because it is conventional. They have no other accomplishment besido boomerang throw ing, unless it be cannibalism.

Tho covered side is always against the wind, and before tho open front a fire is always burning or smoldering. Many curious spencimeus of weapons may bo found thrown down in tho corner uuderueath his pile of bark and skins. Tho "World's Congress of llepr-esciitatlvo Women. Tho World's Congress of Representative Women, held under the auspices of the Woild's Congress Auxiliary of tho 'Columbian Exposi tion of 1693, was tho marvelous efflorescence of woman's activities, which have been slowly budding and developing through ages of Christian endeavor. Mrs. May Wright Scwall is the gardener who has gathered tho seeds which are in many climes and kingdoms destined to take root. Mrs. Sowaii's historical resume of tho pro ceedings of the Congress is tho work of a woman of broad culture, keen analyses, lofty tolerance, and that generous comradeship which takes inata glance the momentous and diversi fied possibilities of the woman of the nineteenth century. Mrs. Potter Palmer proved herself tho con summate leader when she chose Mrs. Sewall Chairman of the orgauizitiou of tho Woman's Congress, and President Bonny of the World's Congress paid Mrs. Sewall a just compliment in his address at the Spring session of the Woman's Congress, when he commented upon tho incomparable ability, energy, and zeal" which had characterized all her "plans aud purposes." The plans and purposes were, indeed, hers, promulgated now by statesmanlike papers aud communications which were republished in England, Francis, Germany, Bohemia, Italy, and other foreigu countries", and again by word of mouth before repru-entativo audiences in Paris aud othor i;roat ceuters of European culture with whoso language she is familiar. Of the momentous results, as expressed in that epoch-making Congress, we know but the be ginning. It was the expression of the best thought of the best women of 27 great nation alities, in cvory important movement in which they aro engaged. Of the 5Jd women of tho 27 nationalities making up tu Congress, 209 wero representa tives of 12G organized bodies of women; the others, like tho great actresses and authors represented, were women who in thcmsolvC3 wero exponents of the propelling power of gtnins in achieving fame iu piofossions or voca tions open alike to women and men. Of the speakers on the programs there wore from the United Stales, 56; E.iglnnd. .'JO; Ger many, 9; France, 7; Canada, G; Scotland and Sweden, 3 each ; Finland and Denmark. 2 each; Ireland, Italy, Belgium aud New South Wales, 1 each. The purpososand objects represented were: Education, 11; literature and art, 5; science, 4; religion, 30; cl.mity aud philanthropy, in cluding the "Woman's llelief Corps, 17; moral aud social, 15; civil and political, 31; industry, G; Order, 2, aud miscellaneous, 2. The Congress of .Representative Women, General and Department, embraced from twoto 20 meetings daily for one week, or an aggre gate of 81 meetings, exclusivo of committee meetings. Before these Congresses addresses were deliveied by 330 women, and so great was the into. est that all the halls were crowded day and night, while thousauds were turned away. The Secretary of tho World's Colum bian Exposition estimates the aggiegate at tendance at 150,000 a larger attendance than upon any Congress held, not even excepting tho Congress of Religious. So much for tho magnitude of Mrs. Sewall's undertaking in seeming aud siftiug this mass of material, often difficult to secure, and set ting it forth intelligently in a work of less thau 1,000 pages. Many difficulties attended her enterpri-e, but tho work has been well done, and entitles her to the thanks of her country and of women everywhere. Every paper in every General Congrcs3 is given in whole or in part, aud every subordi nate, or Department Congress, has at least one paper. A third volume is iu course of prepara tion, giving Department Congress proceedings iu full. , Tho vital force of Mr. Sewall's work as an educator is iu the introductory chapters and the introduction to chapters. Thus wo have not only a careful ly-cditcd summing up of papers read before tho Congress, hut a succinct explanatory editorial account of tho activities, organized or unorganized, which those who prepared and presented those papers represent. The work is issued in handsome style, tho cover embelished with a globe circled by tho motto, "Not for heraclf. but for humanity," in gilt, and is crowded with portraits of emi nent women participating in the Congresaes: Mrs. Potter, Mrs. Heurotin, Mrs. Sewall, Helena Modjeska, Maud Balliugtou Booth, Countess of Aberdeon, Frances E. Willard, Susan B. An thony, Lady Henry Somerset, groups of tho World's Fair officials, Mrs. Henry Ward Beechor, Isabella Bogelot, of France; Helen Gardener, llanua Bieber-Boohm, of Germany; Baroness Thorbcrg-Rappe, of Sweden ; Laura Ormiston Chant, Madam Jauauschck, Madame Korany, the Syrian, aifcl hosts of others.

The work of placing the gigantic Penii statue on the top of tho tall tower of tho City Hall, Philadelphia, which was begun several days ago, will soon bo completed. Tho spectacle of the hugo pieces of brass henig hoisted to tho top of the building probably attracted moro people during the day thau has any campaign speaker on the stump. The first fivo pieces wore taken to tho great iron platform on the marble work, but the main .portions were left on the ground until the legs 'could be hoisted into position.

The Camp3 inspected in April aud May, 1691, will not bo required to pass an inspection in October and November, 1891. Any Camp may bo inspected in October or November by making application to Division Inspector. This r.llows Camps to improve their rating. All Camps now iu good standing, not previously inspected this year, must be inspected in October or November, 1894.

The veterans of tho'lOth Pennsylvania District are making a gallant figki to sorjcl one of their number, tp repreBont'them in Congress. The Republican nomine is tJol. Jos. A. Stahle, who made an excellent record during the war as Lieutenant-Colonel of the 87th Ta., a splendid regiment raised at York, and which belonged to the Sixth Corps, which is praise enough forv it. Comrade Stahle is very popular in his home, York County, where he follows farming, and is active and progressive in everything relating to the in terests of the people. He is regarded as the best man who has ever been offered to the people of his district as their Repre sentative. There is no doubt that his per sonal strength will poll him a large vote outside of his party lines, aud it is hoped that he will receive the solid veteran voto of the Counties of Adams, Cumberland and York, which compose tho District. He should receive the support of every soldier and friend of the soldiers, for, whatever his op ponent may say or do, he will be reckoned among the enemies of the veterans, and add to their strength. Th" district is strongly Democratic. Iu 1892 the Democratic candi date received 7,109 plurality over his Repub lican competitor, but in 1893 the Democratic plurality was only 732, and this gives the comrades hope that they can carry Col. Stable through A York County comrade writes us: Editok National Tribune: The old soldiers of the 19th Congressional District of Pennsylvania now have the opportunity to elect one of their owni comrades, and thereby have a friend who will look out for their interest at Washington. Col. James A. Stable, of the 87th Pa., has been nominated by the Republicans and indorsed by the better element in the Dem ocratic party, who are opposed to Pete Strn binger, the Democratic boss of Adams County, aud the ring candidate. Strubinger claims that "the Democrats had nothing to do with putting down the rebellion, so to hell with the soldier." Col. Stahle-'s nomination was a case of "the office seeking the man," inasmuch as he did not seek the nomination, but the people or the old soldiers drafted him into their service. Col. Stahle is a man of undoubted inieg rity, of high moral character, of good judg 'meut and business experience; understands the ast interests of his district, and is in every way well qualified to fill the position to which the people intend to elect him. He is a fanner by profession, a son of toil, knowing the wants of the agricultural com munity. He is iu demand as a speaker at all the furiuer:' institutes in the district, because he is known as a practical farmer, and one well posted up to date on all sub jects pertaining to their interests. As a veteran of the late war, he was en gaged in many a battle, when his bravery aud patriotism were shown. The old soldiers in the district should turn out on the 6th of November and by their votes for Col. Stable defend Pennsyl vania from the raid of the ex-Confedeiatcs, who, under the leadership of Wilson of "West Virginia are advancing on the indus tries, the farmers, the homes, of the grand old State. The old patriot should be sent toCongres0, where he can continue the defense of Penn sylvania against the attacks of those same fellows who now, since--they are in power, want to enforce thtf same old ante-bellum "free trade aud StaCe rhjhts" doctrine that caused the war. The old soldiers should not allow them selves to be fooled by the tricks of their old enemies, who are-assisting in the canvass of "Boss" Strubiner. Vuteean. KNIGHTS OF! PROTECTION. A Non-Secret, National, Patriotic, and Bene ficial Order. Thcro was regularly incorporated in Balti more last week a new organization, which it is csppcted will quickly extend over the whole country. It is culled "The American Knights of Protection," and its purposes are patriotic, fraternal, aud beneficial, aud its aims wiil he to improve tho me rubers iu their social, civil, and political relations, aud also to provide prac tical financial benefits to the families of de ceased aud disabled member?. "The declaration of principles, which will he non-secret aud non-sectarian," says ono of the incorporators, " will comprise the broadest principles of Americanism, aud will also in clude adhesion to tho principle of American protection through tnriff legislation, restriction of foreigu iinuiiiiration, Euppoit of the public schools, suppression of anarchy, and the build ing up of our industrial and commercial in terests by adhering to a strictly American policy.
