The report of O. NJ. Poe and James
NJ. Whittemore, who tested the. force
of the bullet from Guiteau's pistol has
been handed to Col. Corkhill. The pis-
tol used was counterpart of that
with which Guiteau fired, except that
the grip is of wood instead of ivory. The
weapon is marked British bulldog" is
double acting, has reversing cylinder
containing five chambers, each of one
and one-quarter inches in length and
forty-four one hHndredths of an inch
calibre. The barrel is two and half
inches long In the experimental firing
three cartridges of the four found on
Guiteau, and furnished to the testers
bv Col. Corkhill, were used, as well as
three similar cartridges furnished by
detective McElfresh. The fourth Of
Guiteau's cartridges, and another fur
nished by the detective, were used for
the purpose of weighing and determin-
ing It's quality. The target was made
of six pine boards, each one an inch
in thickness, and placed one behind
the other at intervals of one inch.
First, ascertaining that the pistol was
in perfect order, shots were fired at the
target from distance of four feet. The
results are given as follows: No. went
through three boards, and glanced on
the fourth. No. 2 went through three
boards, and bedded in the fourth. No.
went through one board and lodged
in the second with the point through.
No. went through two boards and
bedded i'll the third. No. 5 went
through two boards IN half through the
third. No. 8 went through two boards
and bedded in the third. In each case
where 4 bullet bedded it badly splinter
ed the rear of the board. The average
penetration from the foregoing is about
three inches in ordinary soft pine. The
weighing of the first cartridge reserved
gave the following result: Rihe-musket
powder, % grains; leaden bullet, 200
grains. The second gave: -musket
powder, % grains; leaden bullet, 200.4.
The bullets were conical III form, with
the head somewhat tiattened, and, as
the penetration shows, were thrown

seals ahouuded on the coasts of Austria

ton of several species. zone might as
soon expect to meet a sea-lion on Lon
don Bridge as on any one of the islands
in Bass Strait, was the reply Of a
New Zealand naturalist to an inquiry
about the seal-life that early yoyagers
had observed. The same result has
happened at the Falkland Islands, at
Cape Horn, and on the Pacific sea-
board of South America. A vessel
called the Betsy took 100000 skins
from the Island of Masafuera at the
beginning of the century, an exploit
which left no survivors for future ad-
venturers; and the island of Juan Fer
nandez, where, in Anson's time, there
were seals in abundance. has now only

In 1922 British sealers took away
$4,000 skins for the two years, killing

and leaving the young to die. The fate
of the sperm whale might furnish
useful lesson in the same direction. 1t

Ocean, but Is now all but extinct. from
the very same causes that We have
pointed out above in the case Of the
seals. The American whalers observed
