New Rife.

4 Paris journal describes q new
rife, Of novel construction, recently
invented in that city. According to
this account the gun presents nothing
remarkable exteriorly, bat the lock
is so arranged that the breech is
opened by cooking the piece, and, the
charge being introduced, the breech
is closed, and the gun fired BY touch
ing the trigger. The cartridge con
sists Of a hollow leaden cone filed
with powder, and closed at the base
by a piece of cork. At the moment
the cartridge is introduced into the
breech, the powder escapes by a
small hole in the cork, and an imper.
ceptible ball Of Eliminating powder,
which forms the printing, takes It's
former position. The triple action Of
cooking, loading aud firing is thus ef-
fected simultaneously, 50 that 4 man
with but slight experience can fire
twenty rounds a minute. The car
tridges are stored in an iron tube,
which is placed parallel with the bar
rel, and contains thirty balls, SO that
the piece may be fred as many times
almost without removing the stock
from the shoulder, there being moth
ing to be done but to cock aud pail
the trigger.

Curing Hops.

An improvement in the method of
curing hops has lately been intro
iuced in England by Mr.. J. NJ. Hop
kins, a hop grower near Worcester,
which is said to be Of great advan-
age to the grower, especially in sea-
,ons like the present, when pri-
'es are so high from the light crop.
The following is the description OF
this process:
"The hops being gathered, are
brought to the kiln to be cured.
There are three drying floors Of raft
.rs, covered with horse hair, so that
re heat and air a pass from below
through each of them and out Of the
op, where an exhaust fan is kept in
notion by steam supplied from a
boiler in the basement floor Of the
kiln. The hops are first put into the
.op floor, where they remain about
four hours, until the 'reek' is od
hem, when they are dropped, with
u hsndling), to the second. and
inally to the lower floor, which Is
royable, being in fact, composed Of
wo large trays, which slide in and
out of the building. The tempera-
ure of the kiln never exceeds 800
he fan gives the advantage Of dry
Gg the hops at a lower temperature
han by the common process. Thus
The aroma and volatile oil which
would be driven away at q higher
temperature are saved. The fan
system has been tried with success
IL the drying of malt without deteri-
Grating its quality. Under the usu-
al system, the drying process in a
m%althouse occupies three or four
days by the fan system it has been
done in twenty-eight hours"
