orally thought by astronomers that the
rings are made up of an immense
number of little bodies; each of which
is satellite, and moves in an orbit OF
its own. This gives rise to q constant
change in position and form; and
the numerous collisions that occur must
cause a loss of force which will ulti'
mately precipitate them all upon the
planet. The interior portions now sp-
pear to be nearer than few years ago
and the inner dark ring has changed so
much that the eminent Struve thinks
it must have fallen to the surface, and
become q portion Of the mass of Saturn.
The planet is now q very interesting
object in the evening sky. he is on
the meridian this evening at fifty-one
minutes past 6 o'clock. and is then
about PSI degrees above the southern
horizon. He will be South nearly four
minutes earlier on each succeeding day.
His place amongst the fixed stars is
now the northwestern part Of the con-
stellation Ssgittarins.-Prot. Colbert, IN

Ingenious Device or . Sportsman
Alexander Hammil, of Silver City,
Lyon county, says the Virginia City
Enterprise, a short time since performed
a most ingenious experiment with q
United States breech.losding rifle, with
which he had previously been practiciDg
by firing at target. 1t appears that
he in some manner got two sets Of cart.
ridges into the gun, and discovering this
to be the situation he did not care to fire
off the gun. Having duly studied over
the matter, he took the gun to black
smith shop, screwed the barrel in wise,
and then, opening the breech, he picked
out all the powder till he came to the
lower ball. Then he heated an iron
red hot, and with it commenced to melt
the ball out. By frequently heating
the rod he succeeded admirably, till he
melted hole clear through the ball
and touched the powder OF the cart
ridge beyond, when there was sharp
and unexpected explosion. 1t shot
both ways, one ball going out at the
muzzle aud the other at the rear. The
ball which came out in the rear took
but small piece out Of Alexis cheek,
and DR.. Kirby has every confidence
that the poul,ice in which Mr.. Alexis
head is now bound up will draw out
the ource or two OF powder blown into
his face. Aleck is as yet undecided as
to whether his experiment in melting
out the bullets was a grand success or
4 disastrous failure-but he swears his
plan was most ingenious.
