Shooting Extraordinary.

The New York World of Aug. 23rd des-
cribes the shooting by DR.. Ruth and wife.
Mrs Ruth began with shooting at glass balls,
and they were shattered in almost every case
with pistol held sideways, there was a miss
or two, but generally every shot told. When
the pistol was inverted, and aim taken below
instead of above the line of fire there was no
apparent loss in percentage of hits. When
ball was hung by string and set swinging
Mrs. Ruth stood eighteen yards off and made
Il clean break on her first shot, The rife was
then handled through the same series of shots,
and the usual want of grace with which all
women handle guns was apparent. When the
balls were thrown up in the air Mrs. Ruth
stood good distance off and shattered dozen
out of fifteen, and this feature, when encored,
was equally as good. While the lady shooter
chatted with lady spectators, Dr. Ruth began
to show his ability as snap shot, The sights
OF the rifle seemed 10 be of no special assist
ance to him, for when they were covered by
cord he used the weapon on balls placed on
stand, and again at glass spheres thrown into
the air with wonderful effect. Some of the
balls were thrown on the ground dozen yards
off, and the Doctor, aiming at the ground be-
low the ball, would send it spinning up into
the air and then rapidly unloading and loading
his piece would hit the ball in its descent.
This double shooting drew ont plenty of APP
plause. Again, when the balls were thrown
up, the rifle was given turn about after the
manner of fail handle. and it fell into posi-
ton soon enough to enable a breaking shot to
be made on the ball. Balls thrown from side
to side were hit, whether coming from right or
left. When tired of breaking glassware, DIR.
Ruth picked up fragment of glass and step
ping off a dozen PAGES held it off in his fingers
while Mrs. Ruth, picking small-bore rifle,
took careful aim. and the glass was shattered
into powder. With an ordinary visiting card
held in his mouth, and turned SO az to show
side, DIR. Ruth permitted his wife to put sew
eral bullets through it. Dozens of other SINH
lar ways of testing the quickness of sight and
steadiness of nerve of the shooters were i'm
provised, and generally it was found that any,
thing fred at was hit almost every time.
There was good attendance, including sew
eral expert shooters.

CHINESE MEDICINES. - Some peculiar
medicines are employed by the Chinese.
Calcined and powdered antelope horns are
used in cases of commissions, rheumatism,
and even apoplexy. Plasters of elephant
skin are believed to cure bruises very
quickly. Pills made from the sloughs of
caterpillar Larvae are taken to expel worms
and relieve headache. Inflammation of
the lungs is treated with glue from the
hides of donkeys. Alcoholic preparations
of scorpions are given in all kinds of NAL
aides. For most internal diseases, pow
dered insect, the name of which has not
been determined, is administered. The
skins of serpents applied to the body are
supposed to cure leprosy, rheumatism and
paralysis. A mucus obtained from toads
and mixed with -four is used to stimulate
the nostrils in cases of faints and convul-
eions

The immensely OF the stars.

VIZ take from lie Monde de la Science
the following interesting "Considera-
tons on the Stars" by Professor j.
Vinott: "It is known that the stars are
true suns, that some of them are larger
than our own sun, and that around
these enormous centers of heat and
light revolve planets on which life GER
tainly exists. Our sun is distant from
US 30,00O,O00 leagues, but these stars
are distant at least 500, 900 times as far
- distance that in fact is incommensu-
rable and unimaginable for us. Viewed
with the unaided eye the stars and the
planets look alike; that is, appear to
have the same diameter. But, viewed
through the telescope, while the planets
are seen to possess clearly appreciable
diameters, the stars are still only mere
luminous points. The most powerful
of existing telescopes, that of Mel
bourne, which magnifies 5000 times,
gives us an image Of one of our planets
possessing an apparent diameter of sew
eral degrees. Jupiter, for instance,
which, seen with the naked eye, appears
as star of the first magnitude, with 3
diameter of forty-tive seconds at the
most, will in this telescope have its
diameter multiplied 5000 times, and
will be seen as if it occupied in the
heavens an angle of one hundred de-
grees. Meanwhile star alongside of
Jupiter, and which to the eye is as
bright as that planet, will still be q
simple, dimensionless point. Never
theless that star is thousands of times
more voluminous than the planeti
"Divide the distance between us and
= planet by 5000, and you have for re-
suit a distance relatively very small;
but divide by 5000 the enormous num-
Der of leagues which represents the
distance of a star, and there still remain
q number of leagues too great to permit
of the stars being seen by us in per
ceptible form. In considering Jupiter,
or any of the planets, we are filled with
wonder at the thought that this little
luminous point light hide not only all
the visible stars, but number 5000
fold greater-for of stars visible to our
eyes there are only about 5000. All
the stars of these many consultations,
as the Great Bear, Cassiopcia, Orion,
Andromeda, all the stars of the zodiac,
even all the stars which are visible only
from the earth's southern hemisphere,
might be set in one place, side by side,
with no one overlapping another, even
without the slightest contact between
star and star, and yet they would occupy
so small space that, were it to be null
tiplied 5000 fold, that space would be
entirely covered by the disk of Jupiter,
albeit that disk to us seems to be an
inappreciable point. "-Scientitc Amcrt-

endless annoyance to those who are left
