ANOTHER KIND OF DEADLY WEAPoS.-A
young mechanic In Detroit, Michigan, named
stephen Bowerman, has invented a battery by
which 1t 10 claimed that three hundred and
twenty balls per minute can be discharged with
an accurate range Of nine hundred yards. Six
men are required to work it. The battery
comprises thirty-two Mimic rife barrels set in
fourc cases or ''banks, which revolve around a
common center. Each section or case is sepa-
rate, and after the barrels are discharged may
DO removed, reloaded and replaced without
ceasing the revolutions a.

Isli upon the percussion caps and discharge the
pieces The inventor claims that the battery

named the Pale Horse" 1t carries the

measures to bring out the invention.

Army Clsthing.

We have been shown a sample of blue cloth
for army purposes, which has been sent as the
Government standard. It is from being of the
frst quality it is filled with shoddy and focks,
and will tear as easily as burnt paper, and we
have taken the pains to secure a sample of good
cloth, made Of all wool, stout durable, and of
good finish, in order to make q just compari-
son. When the Government issue such sam
Piles, and require nothing beyond that quality
as standard, we must lay the blame some where
else than upon the manufacturers. For the
small sum of twenty five cents per yard extra,
the Government could secure an article of un-
mixed wool which weuld outwear two uniforms
made Of shoddy and focks mixture.
A good kersey, the proper standard for army
cloth, or for any durable purpose, is made up
like the weaving of a basket, and can be un-
woye as rapidly; whereas the cheap article,
composed of coarse wool, flock, and shoddy,
can not be unwove. We cite these facts to show
the importance of having Government appoint
men that understand the difference in the quail
ity Of cloths, and who will not be deceived by a
well-appearing sample, at low price, into
making contracts.
We can best illustrate by referring to a coat
or pair pants made of cheap material. Any
one at all familiar with the fact will remember
that in a coat, the bottom between the lining
and the outside becomes filed with q woody
substance, and in pair Of pants it goes down
into the stockings.
"Shoddy" cloth, which is the proper name
for this cheap material, is made Of old rags, of
all colors and descriptions. which are mecor-
ated to q pulp and then pressed into cloth
The process Of manufacture is nearly the same
as that Of felt. Shoddy," fresh from the
mill, has solid, substantial look, which would
easily deceive person inexpert in cloth. At
ter brief exposure to the sun or rain the true
nature of the fabric begins to appear. 1t re-
vesls multiplicity Of tints-here patch of
gray, there one of brown, then a delicate
green, next to it dull brick color, and SO on
through all the hues in the rainbow or out of
it. Presently, slight careless pull at some
spot where the clothing is not lined makes a
huge, irregular gap. In few weeks, when
the hot, cold and stormy weather has done its
perfect work on the " shoddy," it can be sha-
ken into its original rags by lively motion of
the hand. People who make up this bogus
stuff for sale never put good thread or honest
workmanship in it. Both would be thrown
away, for no amount Of the tailor's craft can
prevent " shoddy" from tumbling to pieces at
its appointed time.-Com. Bulletin.

A WORD TO FARMERS.

Stand By your plows. farmers of Kan
sas I! The times demand this at your
hands. No more is the soldier patriot,
who en6sts under the Stars and Stripes,
than the son Of toll who puts his seed
in the earth and teuds his crops with
watchful care. Tie farmer is the pro-
dacer of the bread without which the
soldier cannot fight. The one combats
fo- his country with the sword, the other
with the plow; both are worthy of all
honor. ii well they perform their parts.
Kansas, in particular. needs that her
farmers should do their duty this year;
and we believe they will.
PLANT SoReHuM. 1t is not yet too
late to put in crop of this plant. 1t
is probable that the sugar crop Of the
South will be short, and that sugar and
molasses will bescarce and high
Sorghum molasses can be made of bet.
ter quality than any which comes from
New Orleans. We know this from
actual experience and trial. We have
used Sorghum molasses that was much
superior to the best golden syrup. and
almost equal to the best maple molasses.
We have seen fair surgar made from the
sorghum syrup-as fair as any tha. We
get from New Orleans, and free from
any disagreeable taste. With these re-
suits. there is no risk to run in raising
sorghum. 1t will pay well. A good
crop will yield 100 gallons Of good mo-
lasses to the acre, which is better at
95 cents per gallon than wheat or corn;
and at the usual price of niolasscs will
yield an enormous profit.
