Although an anomaly to go to the primitive savages of Australia for points on an airplane, that was just was done In the development of flying in the air by humans. The fundamental principle of the plane Is both old and simple, having been discovered by the bushmen of the antipodes and embodied by them In the which by meeting In Its boomerang, flight the air at a slight angle got ' lift. The trajectory of the boomerang may be in part horizontal or may even rise as a result of this lift. Any surface that is more or less flat that travels at a slight angle through the air tends to lift. If the section has a slight camber, or convex curve, the Is Increased. Better results are lift I obtained if a body of appreciable ! thickness Is used Instead of a thin I sheet. These points the Australian d. Investigation will show little difference between the wing section of the modern airplane and a cross section of a boomerang made by the bushmen or whittled by a New York boy after he had visited the circus and had witnessed the stunts of the boomerang throwers. The resemblance of the boomerangs cross section is closer to a propeller section of an airplane, as a boomerang Is a sort of cross between an airplane wing and a propeller. WOOD LASTS i Hat destructible. ir Men employed In driving a new galIn a gold mine at Charlotte Plains, lery In VictoriaAustralia, have made an astonishing discovery. At a depth of 300 feet below ground they have come upon pieces of timber perfectly preserved, which have every appearance of having been sawed and shaped by the hand of man. This timber lies In the bed of an ancient river now being worked for gold, and the timber Is oak. Now, oak has the peculiar property of lasting for centuries when burled in water or wet sand. Oak piles have been taken out from under old wooden bridges constructed by the Romans, and found as sound as whe.n they were put there, nearly 2,000 years ago. Oak, known as bog oak, Is found buried in Irish peat bogs, and Is black, Intensely hard, and very 'alunble. Just before the worlds war It was discovered that the bed of the river Moksha, In Russia, for a length of over 400 miles, Is simply full of magnificent old oak trees bedded In sand. The river Is shallow, and broad, and the oak can easily be raised. Smaller deposits are found In England. There Is a podl in the river Dart, known from time immemorial as Oak oool, In the bottom of which are masses of fine old oak. The strange thing is that there are no oak trees near the spot at present. er r per-fecti- y Vast Waste Desert. ire.
