Wonderful Keenness of These Natives of Australia. USED 'TO TRACK CRIMINALS. These Men Are Veritable Bloodhound* and Have a Natural Instinct •For Running Down Desperadoes Who Are. Fleeing From Justice. criminal in Australia knows. that "h a hances for escape are nearly hope- '1 if a "tracker" is put upon his trail with n a day after the crime is discov �c ered.. A "tracker" is a native blank man having a natural instinct for run- ning down criminals fleeing froel jus. blood- hounds, l Thos men .are veritable nod fico. These hounds, and their strange power is pos. sessed by no other race in the world. So implicit is °the confidence felt in them by the police that when a black starts out upon a man hunt the officer who goes with him merely,. follows in his wake. He does pot question him or in any way interfere with him, but, leading Ms own horse, allows the guide h ver direction he leas to go in w ate ti pleases, no matter how apparently'reasonless his course may seem. Tlie most slfccessful trackers are. in Queensland, "near the edge of New South Wales. They will travel any distance, animated by no feeling of ha- tred a- tred,tor their'gtiarry., but oily desirous of proving `their expertness. The re• ward they ask' is absurdly small .for the long and difficult trails., .A. few shillings or some cheap bracelets, rings, and so on, quite satisfy • them. They have no idea of the value of money, Ruin is their great weakness. Once a tracker was employed to lo- cate some valuable trees for a timber man. He had to travel some forty 'miles through a forest so dense that it was necessary to cut. his way "through with his tomahawk. All he asked for was a bottle of ruin, while the. timber - merebant derived over £2,000 from the , sale of the trees. The following description of.:a••man -hunt, will convey a clear idea of the dangers and -•hardships to be endured: In this particular . case the tracker was a splendid specimen of manhood. The usual loin garments of kangaroo skin he had exchanged for a light cov- ering of''cotten eloth provided -by. the police. • He led a horse, so as to make time in the open country districts where the runaway's footsteps • could be seen from a horse. The hunt was very earnest, because the fugitive had • stolen some cattle. In:Australia the. crime of cattle' stealing is most se- verely dealt with and considered a,seri- ous offense. ' The offender - was a well seasoned • us man cunning and acquainted with• b h u nag q the tactics of the trackers. Further-' more, he had two days'..start of his •pursuers. To accompany a chase like this. is awesome, the iitter..silence and desola- tion of the .. woods is.. so depressing. Then, too, the trails .are .deceptive, of- . ten leading' to a deserted• wood camp beneath a foliage so;dense. that it is impossible even to• catch a glimpse of I the sky. ; I)artness closes in very quickly in the mountain regions, and by nightfall the tracker and 'his mu - 1 ployer were glad to reach an "aecom- � modation -house;" or rancher's home, where' such as these were usually. wel AUCTION SALE . -OF- Town .

Steel/lege have always been meas tired` by the inch from heel to toe, but the numbering of shoes was fixed a long time ago by a :Frenchman, and it's so long ago that only one New York. dealer could be found who knew anything about it, Even he didn't know the inventor's name, The Frenchman permanently red the numbers of oboes for an Europe and America. He arbitrarily decided that no human foot could possibly be smaller than three and: seven -eighths Inches, so, calling this point zero, he allowed one-third of an inch to a size and so built up his scale. Consequent ly a man cannot find out the number of 11!q own shoe unless be is an expert at exact arithmetic. And even thele he is likely to go wrong, because all of shoe experts allow for the Weight the individual andthe build of his foot before they try to determine what shin shoe he ought to wear.
