Most of them are used as pack carriers and a fair average load is 550 or 600 pounds, with which they can travel twenty-five miles a day for two months at a stretch. When the camel is used for draught pur- poses, he may be driven in a light ve- hicle in single or double harness. Dur~ ing the hot season, a considerable amount of work is done by the postal authorities in the northern regions of South Aus. tralia, mails being collected and deliver ed by camel buggy. The animals may also be yoked to a waggon of eight or fewer, a high curved pole and a modifi‘ cation of‘thc horse collar being used in this case. The wheels are provided with broad tires, and in this way heavy machincr' can be transported over the desert. be riding camel or dromedary is used by the police, and also by station managers when urgent messages have to be sent to the centres of civilization. These fleet animals will travel ovu- a hundred miles per day for a week at a spell, and at an emergency have nearly doubled that record in a single period h, All offender on KI, of twenty-four hours. horseback fleeing from the police has no chance against a constable mounted upon a dromedary. The transport of stores and wool to and from the stations is done mostly by pack camels, the com- pressed wool bales being made smaller than the usual size so as to permit of a full land being slung in two equal por- tions on each side of the beast. The wonderful capacity of the camels to go for long periods without water is a qualification which constitutes their main usefulness in the arid regions of Australia. When the foliage of tho shrubs upon which it foods is green and succulent, the camel appears never to drink. The herd may be driven to water, but only the females with suckling calves drink. When its proveuder gets parched and dry, of course the animal partakes of water, but it Seldom drinks more than twice a week, though the fluid may be constantly accessible. In ordinary caravan work a spell of seven days without water, and also almost without food, is not a cause for wonder. The driver before starting sees that the hump from which the animal draws its reserves of food is in good condition. After two days or so out the animal is readily made to drink its fill, and in doing so stores away in the honey-comb- ed lining of its stomach water enough for many days. 0....â€" Wood That Will Not Burn. According to Nicholas '1‘. Wilson, an inventor of Chicago, Ill., there is no necessity in future for the destruction by fire of frame dwellings or any other kind of building constructed of wood. Helms invented a plan by which with certain solutions of chemicals wood is rendered nou1inflam1nablc. Saturated in the solution, it is impossible, be main- tains, for a piece of lumber to burn, even if it should be soaked in coal oil. The wood or inflammable material of which houses are constructed is first immersed in the solution of chemicals for a period of 24 hours. Then the lumber is fire- proof and will burn no more than a piece of iron or stone. By means of the chem- icals the wood becomes so dense that heat will decompose it by churring only, but will not cause any flame. The substance produces an inert gas, which prevents combustion. By this scientific process of making things non-inflamm- able, Mr. ‘Wilson believes that thousands of fires may be prevented. 110 also thinks that after this invention is thor- oughly known many railroad coaches will be built of wood so prepared. This Would prevent railroad horrors resulting from fires after a wreck. Several car builders have seen the test and are sat- isficd that it is impossible to burn the wood after it is once immersed in the substance. 0. South Buffalo was seriously flooded on Sunday.
