The National Geographic Maguzine gives some interesting accounts of the | driving of cattle to the nesrest port or, railway, from the vast pusture lands of Australia. Two, three or even five months ma be required, says this magazine. Un- less the season is favorable, it can not be done at all, for feed and water are lacking along the route. . . . Stock routes are laid out and tended as carefully as wagon roads or railways. They head for the principal markets, or for the ends of railways that ex- tend into the arid belt, aud wind across the country, taking advantage of all known water supplies. Streams, | Springs, billabongs and namma-holes are used, regardless of the quality of the water, for almost any liquid is ‘acceptable in the desert. When the distance between watering places is too great, or areas of feed are be- yond. the reach of water, artificial supplies are provided and carefully watched. Wells are dug, and reser. voirs and*tanks are constructed to collect rain water. Where other means | fail, skeleton buildings with large roof area are provided to conserve the rainfall.

FIRST TO USE WATER WINGS | explore the treasure region. ee ae Lovesick Maori Maiden Credited With Devising Those Valuable Aids to Weak Swimmers. Water wings were invented by a Ma- ori maiden hundreds of years before, the British conquered these New Zeal- | and natives. She used some gourds | which she lashed together with strands of flax, putting the lashing under her | chest, with a gourd behind each arm. Thus equipped, she swam four miles to meet her lover, who was not in fav- , or with her father. | The romantle story Is a pretty one. | Luianekal'’s mother was the beauti- ful Rangl-uru, wife of Whakane-kal- | papa, the great chief of the Ngatl- | whakane tribe. His father was a home wrecker, the soft-spoken glib- longued Tu-whare-toa, who had per- | suaded Rangi-uru to run away with | bin. Later she repented and returned to her husband, who forgave her. He took her child into the family and moved to another neighborhood, so that the family would escape gossip. | Iu this district Tutanekai grew into an Apollo of manhood and a regular Solomon in wisdom, but the stigma of his birth followed him, He fell In love with Hine-Moa, but her father re- tused his consent to the marriage. The lovers were kept apart, while the girl's father remained obdurate. Finally, ip desperation, Hine-Moa planned = to wake the four-mile swim to his island from Rotorua, and just before plung ing into the water decided to make the water wings as an extra safety precaution, although she was an ex pert swimmer, | ON TRACK OF VAST TREASURE Circumstances Indicate Probability That Vast Hoards of the Mongols Has Been Discovered. Whether Asia's most famous treas- ure-hoard, the concealed valuables of the Mongols, has been found, Is still a mystery to those who have dreamed of finding the prectous relics of kings and emperors hidden somewhere in the ruins of the cities of central Asia, Re- cent reports that some of the jewels and goldwork of the Mong have reached India confirm the belief that the treasure-hoard has been ransacked at last. Five hundred years ago the desert was green and temples and luxurious palaces adorned central and southern Asia, often called the “tomb of lost millions.” The Mongols, the most for- | midable of the tribes at that time, rav- aged eastern and central Europe in | the thirteenth century, and carried their Joot with them, With the pas- sage of the tribe the great secret to explorers has been the pluce of their hidden treasure. Some years ago two men In Yar- kand sold some relics of ancient Asian workmanship, and It ts believed they had come upon the tomb of the treas- ures. It was then that an adventur- | ous Englishman, H. Spaulding, called them to him and set out to further It was reported that he had penetrated the re- gion, but that he had been slain on making his getaway. The appesrance of some of the ancient relies In India recently 1s believed to indicate that Spaulding was robbed and that the treasures are slowly being sold by his assallants. Mutual Difficulty. Mrs. Stuart Menzies, in Sportsmen Par s, tells an amusing story of a cleric, famed alike as a hard rider to hounds and a profound scholar, who wns one day performing a christening ceremony. | Owing to the mother's faulty pro- nunclation of the aspirate he could not make out, writes Mrs, Menzies, wheth- er the child's name was to be Anna or Hannah, so, stooping, he asked her | quietly, “How do you spell it?” To this the mother, in an embar- rassed and confidentin! whisper, re plied: “Well, I alu’t no schollard, neither, sir.” | She was evidently, adds Mrs, Men- | zies, surprised at his “ignorance.” Fancy his having to ask her how to spell! “Loot” Originated in India. The word “loot” came into the Eng lish language by way of India, and ts supposed to be derived from the San- serit “lotra,” signifying booty. Orig- inally all booty taken from the enemy in war pertained to the crown of the victorious nation, the title thereto be- | ing regarded as Indisputable. The crown was supposed to dispose of these spoils of war according to Its pleasure, bearing In mind the services of the captors of the matter. This was, indeed, the basis of prize law at sea. But at every International con- gress at which the laws of war and of mutual relations came under dis- cussion ft was agreed to exempt from seizure private property on land and to restrict confiscation to the national property of the foe, Cloth From Tree Bark. The famous “tapa” cloth: of Polyne sia is made from the inner bark of the paper mulberry, When of the finest quality it is bleached to snowy white ness and fine as muslin. In tropical Africa the inner bark of a leguminous tree is utilized in the sume way. Indeed, It Is surprising to learn how widely tree barks are em- ployed as material for clothing the world over. And in the West Indies grows the “lace-bark tree,” which yields a delicate tissue so lke lace thet many articles of feminine udorn- ment are made from it. { ee © 1920 A. B. 8., Ine.
