Some yoars\nago, tho colony was divided into\nMaori representative districts, each\nreturning a member to watch native\ninterests, This plan, tentative at\nfirst, has worked so well, that it is\nnow one of the settled institutions\nof the country. No doubt tho influence of these members is somewhat\nweakened by the circumstance that\nthey seldom venture to address tho\nhouse in English, so that their ideas\nhave to bo filtered through the\nmedium of an interpreter, but they\nhave a simple direot eloquenco whioh\nhas its weight notwithstanding this\ndrawback.

It is generally known to bo a\nllat stick of wood bent into a shape which\nstiRgosts a combination of a \" V\" and a\"U,\"\nalthough with the extremities spread apart\nuntil thoy are at right angles with each\nothor. In point of fact, boomerangs aro of\nalmost overy Bhape, from semicircular to\nnearly straight, and seem todopend for thoir\nefficiency not so much upon the evident\nform as upon the curves which are shown\nupon their fiat sides. If one takes a boomerang and looks along the sharp outer edge,\nit is seen that this edge presents a wavy\nappearance\u00E2\u0080\u0094a delicately adjusted sinuosity\nlike tho lino of along screw. This curve is\nnot elaborately fashioned or smoothed into\nevenness; the hard wood of which the\nboomerang is usually mado being picked\nout with short blows from a sharpened flint\nhold in the hand, almost always shows, Indeed, infinite Irregularities.\nWhat rule of construction tko savage\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\"artificer follows evon bo himself would\nprobably bo unablo to say. Yet he has some\ndefinite plan in mind, no doubt, for while ho\nchips and pecks away at tlio wood ho takes\nfrequent squints along its edge to see how\nhis curves aro progressing. I hove nover\nseen two boomoranga that wero juBt aliko,\nbut all are similar in their relations of\ncurves along the fiat side, The boomerang\nmaker knows instinctively just whero his\nboomerang will go whoa he throws it, although ho nover seems to aim any two in\nthe same way.\nMore lies bave been told about the boomerang than can be well enumerated, and\nnearly every Australian traveler comos\nback with a frosh assortment. Ono hears\nof men who can so throw a boomerang that\nit kills an enemy behind a tree and then\ncomes cheerfully fluttering book to its\nowner, who thoroupon hurls It on a fresh\nmission of carnage. A flock of frightened\ncockatoos, speeding in intricate gyration*'\nthrough the air to escape the attack of\nnatives who wont a bird for dinner, aro\npursued at ovory turn by these erratic\nweapons, which striko them down a dozon\neach, and so return to the hand that east\nthom. Old wives' fables, these, at which\nAustralians laugh, knowing in tke naturo\nof things their falsity. In the first placo\nthe war boomerang Is not made for return,\n' ond is only slightly bent, so that it may go\nhopping und bounding along the earth like\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2rn hoop, and make capacious holes in the\nbody of tho adversary. Thoso are of hard,\nheavy wood, and ugly things to be hit\nwithal; but tho return boomerang is simply a play-thing, or to bo used Iu light hunting, and, although It might givo a man a\npainful rap, could not Boriously injure him.\n|A.s for the cockatoo story, It has this much\nof truth\u00E2\u0080\u0094that a nativo boomerang hurler,\nif ho saw n flock flying by him in a straight\ncourso, could so oust his weapon as to como\nupon tbem unawares at a given point, and,\n.perhaps, knock ono down; but his boomerang would drop, too, having no powor of\nflight after it bas struck any thing.\nTho boomerang Is sufficiently remarkable\nwithout being regarded in tho light of a\nlong bow. and drawn by overy tourist In\ntho colonics. It Is hold perpendicularly and\ntaken firmly in tho hand by one of its extremities, with tho other pointed forward,\n,und is hurled with a full arm and assisted\nby a run and swing of tho whole body. A\nslight turn of tho wrist at tho moment of\ndischarge causes it to assume various erratic courses. Sometimes it will fly straight\nforward for one hundred oreven two hundred yards, thon rise sharply., to a great\n'height, Jose its force, and flutter down to\ntho foot of the throwor. Agniu, it will riso\nIn tho nir, swoop down with immense rnp-\nKlity, and skim around lu a great semi-\nIrclo a fow inches from the ground, riso\nbnco more, and return to the spot whenco it\nstarted. It will also start oft in a great\nswoop to tbo right, reverse it and turn to\ntho left, skim around the throwor in a\nseries of ever-narrowing eircloa, and, find*\n\u00C2\u00BB** their center, fall iuto it like an ex-\nlausted bird. There is something uncanny\nibout the thing; its movements are so unexpected aud out of reasou that it seems to\nbo alive, and to toko a savage delight in\nstrange shoots and dashes, which make the\n'now ohura\" (Australian' oquivalont for\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0tenderfoot\") dodge ovory timo it turns,\nLest it Bhould knock him ou the head.\nTho yarn about the Australian blacks always throwing tho boomerang with their\n>acks to tke object thoy desire to hit ia a\nicce off tbe samo \"whole oloth\" as tho\n'ockatoo fable, and tho lie about tho mlssilo\nreturning to its owner after killing the\ngentlemen behind the tree; Au expert\n;hrowor can cause his boomerang to\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0hoot behind him aftor a short preliminary\nIxcursion in front, and como very near a\nliven object, but If ho wan -.s to hit any thing,\nKither in hunting or war, ho doesn't fool\nway his time with the return boomerang,\nmt throws a heavy,\" nearly straight one,\nvhloh goes direct to the mark without any\nlourlshos. Such is tho boomerang\u00E2\u0080\u0094a two-\normed utensil, with ono Bhape for business,\nhe other for sport .-.;.-,.\nAnother ingenious contrivance used by\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0ho natives is tho handle and thong which\nhey ubo in propelling their spears\u00E2\u0080\u0094theso\nKing generally of tapering, sharp-pointed\nlicks of hard wood, although sometimes\npped with flint or iron. To odd to tho\norco of their discharge some sable phlloso-\niher whose name is lost took a bit of thick\ntick about a foot long, fastened to one end\nf It a atrip of leather or cord torminat*\nig in a socket, wherein to set tho butt of\nUs spear, and was ready for action. When\nbe cord or strip et leather was laid along\nho spear, tho handle camo in the center,\nnd was hold on tho under side of tho\nvenpon whon it was cast. When tho spear\neft tho hand, tho handle and its appendage\nf leather or cord remained, and by a dox-\norous movement on the partof the tbrowcr\nctodllkea sling to accelerate the flight of\nbo shaft. By this device, tbo spearman\nmined tho same advantago tbat a stinger\na joys over a person who hurls a stone by\nIs unaided arm\u00E2\u0080\u0094so that cases aro known\n(-here spears thus hurled havo flown two\nundred yards, und gono completely through\nho body of the man wbo was unlucky\nnough to soi-vo as a target, \u00E2\u0080\u00A2%$..\nAn Electrlcf.1 Trumpet. *\nAn electric trumpet has been devised by\n, French electrician.
