IHE MINNIE RIFLE.-The first rifle in vogue in
France was the so.caled pillar rifle oil Thouvenin,
but the invention of NJ. Minnie is the one which
has practically re volutonzed the firearms of the
present day. The improvements made by NJ. Min
ME are confined almost wholly to the form of the
proiecte, and have very lite reference to that of
the gun out of which it is fired The ball is of an
obong, conical form, something like an acorn
without its cup; but instead of being solid, this
cone is followed out at the base into a cup like
form. The advantages of this form of proiectile
are that it offers less resistance to the air than
round ball would, and that having its centre of
gravity in its foremost part, it has no tendency to
turn over in its flight; but its chief merit in mil
itary point Of view is that with it the rifle can be
loaded as easily as the ordinary smooth-bored gun
the forcing of the ball into the grooves of the bar
rel being effected by the explosion of the uunnow
der, and not by the ramrod. The form of the rife
proper to these cOncal missiles differs very litte
from those used with the old spherical bullet ex-
cept that three-grooved rifle has Superseded the
ola two-grooyed gun, and it is still an unsettled
question whether four grooves would not be better
than three. With this weapon the soldier can
make Tar better practice at five hundred or even
one thousand yards, than he could with the old
musKet at one hundred or two hundred yards.
EXPERIMENTS IN Corn PLANTNG.-Four boxes of
earth, alike in quality and exposure to light and
heat were planted at the same time with corn from
sirgle ear and placed recently In physician
office. In one box dry corn was planted; IN another
the seed soaked in clean warm water; IN the
third the seed was soaked in solution OF lime
water; in the fourth the seed was soaked IN the
chloride of lime and copperas water, equal parts.
One week afterwards the box planted with dry
corn had not germinated, the SECOND box had just
showing its green blades, and in the fourth box the
blades were nearly three inches high. Copperas
will keep birds and worms from eating the seed
and one pound will soak enough for twenty acres.
The enlistments in Pittsburg were ordered to be
stopped on Wednesday.
