| proYement in the construction OF firearms has
i been invented by Mr.. Gale, who made trial OF
Il gun made on this principle few days ago in the
| other general officers.
4 Mr. Gale, who has already discovered method
\ of rendering OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, has invented
Il most simple piece of mechanism, by means OF
which FIRE arms can be discharged much more
rapidly than has hitherto been the cause.-The mum
Der of shots amounting to sixty per minute After
the trial tie Duke OF Cambridge expressed his
opHion that it was the most ingenious and remark
able invention that he had ever seen, and he or
dered Mr.. Gale to lose no time in submitting his
invention for examination TO the committee on ire

III PROGRESS IN MEDICAL SCIENCE.
1T appears that the French doctor who gained
such Ten0Wn this winter in Paris by MATCHMAKING
bia patient with vaccine taken direct from a cow
which he kept in his lodgings, has been outdone
BY On Irish medical man residing at Monastrevers
county Kildare. This gentleman has discovered
method of furnishing vaccine at pleasure, and fer
this end keeps on hand ten children, who, after
ii undergoing special treatment, are enabled to
yield sufficient matter wherewith to Yaccinate
5000persons. The new system has the advantage
Of always preserving the protecting qualities Of
i vaccination, being neither destroyed by time nor
4 change of climate.
a family fete of great rarity has lately been
celebrated at Almutz Moravia, in honor of NJ.
Wisgrill, landed proprietor, and his wife, whose
united ages amounted to Just two hundred years
Il the husband being one hundred and three and his
wife ninety-seven. They were mrrried on the 25th
of May, 1884, and celebrated the seyenty-ffth an!
1niYersary of their union.
Among the demolitions required by the. works
/ for the new Hotel Dieu, at Paris, was one of a

seryation, about three feet square, with the follow.

on one of its faces: " | was placed here in the

i number Of more than sixty, and near the hand was

white. The heat had partly calcined the bones of
