WALLABY QUICKLY WIPED OUT ENGLISH FLAX FOR AIRPLANES SHORT BUT EVENTFUL LIFE LIVE ON ARTIFICIAL ISLAND
Australian Pest Didn’t Last Long
When Its Pelt Became of Value
In the Market.
Before the advent of the rabbit and
th'e fox in Australia the rock-wallaby
made its home among the cliffs bor­
dering the Snowy river, where it
passes through southern Monaro (N.
S. W.), literally in thousands.
The
little red-brown quadruped was then
becoming a grass pest, and as his skin
was then worth only 4 cents the pelt
hunter didn’t bother much about him.
But an Interested mutton merchant
some years ago put a premium on the
skins, and the writer and a mate
started out one winter morning, with
about two inches of frost on the
ground and every tree powdered with
hoar-frost. for the wallaby ground.
The artillery consisted of two guns,
one a single muzzle-loader.
(The
breech-loader was then a rarity on
Monaro.) By noon the hunters had
downed over sixty wallabies, The
beasts were so numerous in some
quarters that two wallabies occasion­
ally fell to a single shot. Soon after
that the pelt trader scented profit,
and the work of demolition began.
Now these cliffs are silent and desert­
ed, save for Reynard and the eternal
rabbit, which crops the wallaby pas­
tures close and from this rough coun­
try will never be exterminated.
Town Where Old Industry Is Being
Revived Has Long Borne an
Evil Cognomen,
How strangely ancient nnd modern
meet in the formation of a new gov­
ernment department for the produc­
tion of English flax, observes the Lon­
don Chronicle. We find manufactured
flax fibers in the lake dwellings of
Switzerland; we find it in the tombs
of Egyptian greatness, where it
wrapped the mummies of 'kings and
queens whose life stories we knot
From it we fashion linen and cambric,
as well as sails for boats, and dainty
lace to deck a ruthless "flapper." But
the new department is to raise 10,000
acres of flax largely for airplanes.
Pinchbeck, where the old Lincoln­
shire flax Industry is being revived,
bears a bad reputation among metal­
lurgists, and is accused by the un­
learned of having originated an op-
probrlous epithet whlch has spread
from the material to the intellectual
and moral worlds, As a fact this is a
cruel libel on a charming rural village
which has always been more con­
cerned with agriculture than with
metals. Our term “pinchbeck,” applied
to anything that is a sham or unreal,
comes not from the village but from
Christopher Pinchbeck, a watch and
toy maker, who Invented an alloy of
copper and zinc that ruined his trade

eenth century. Pinchbeck’s place of
