not by submitting the question to the gage

At present the Springfield rifle is the

made to improve upon it by ambitious
/ Eentors none have as yet been success
full. We are Of the impression, how
ever, that to a Eureka man will belong
the credit of improving upon this time

Wcll-knOWn gunSmith, showed to our
reporter the other day, the model of a
new rifle lock that he has Just per-
tected, which, in our estimation, will
superscde all others so far invented, in
respect to simplicity and rapidity of
action. 10 has been working upon this
model for several months past and has
now applied for a patent upon il. The
main feature of the invention consists
Of the rapid election of the exploded
cartridge. In the Springfield three mo-
lions are required to eject the shell and
load, whereas, in Hausman's lock, but
one is necessary-the simple cooking
Of the hammer doing the work. Aside
from this. the lock, which in cOnstruc-
ton is simplicity Itself, can, by sim
ply turning screw half around, be ex-
posed for cleaning. The invention is
without doubt, an excellent one, and |
we advise our gun sharps to examine

TESTS OF coLoR-pLlNpNEss

The Pennsylvania Railroad has solved the
difficult problem of testing the eolor-blind-
ness of over $4,000 employees, with due
justice to the men and due regard to the
safety of the public, by adopting IA apara-
tus invented by Dr. William Thompson, of
this city, in which the primary colors. red
and green, are mounted and the eonfu-
sion colors strung by their side and alter
mated with red and green, the hitter being
numbered odd and the former even, an or
der which can be reversed In the examin-
alton. which eau be made with safety and
success by any division superintendent, the
man under test is asked to select ten colors
by numbers, aud register of his selection
at once determines the character of his eye
sight. If he picks both odd and even num-
bors, or the wrong set OF alternates, he is
color-hlind. So far nader the tests made by
this system four per cent. are reported as
defective, the average of defective eyesights
recorded By scientific observers. The plan
has been adopted aud is in full operation IA
