A Manitoba Speculation.

Angus Macdonald, farmer from
Charlotteburg, county of Glengarry
arrived in Winnipeg. Angus in hi
own estimation, and in tue estimation
of his friends, was a shrewd man. H
was hardly in a place before an old ac
quarntance OF his ran up against him
slapped him on the back in friendl,

greetings were over, he continued: "B,
the way, Angus, You own Il farm neal
| Minnedosa?"
Yes
"How much will you take for it,"
Il don't know" said Angus.

"Well, I'll tell you what III give
you SIX thousand dollars for it
Angus thought before leaving Glen.
garry tba. if he got two thousand dol.
lars for it he would be doing well: but
he was now in the land OF booms, and
so he asked sixty-fye hundred d liars
for it.
We'll, here's fifty dollers on the bar
gain, and we'll sign the papers to-mor-
low." And the purchaser rushed Oft.
Before two hours had passed Angus
ran against another old acquaintance.
''Glad to see you, Angus! Glad you
came up! There's splendid chance for
you. by the way, see you as register
ed as owning farm near Minnedosa-
How much do you want for that farm p.
"I've lust sold it, said Angus.
How much d,d you get for it?'
"SiXty-nve hundred dollars
"Ihe dickens you did! Why I'll give
you fifteen thousand dollars for it. You
go to the purchaser and get him to re-
lease yon, and I'll give you the fifteen
thousand dollars"
angus wished that he was back in
st. Raphaels or anywhere else, since he
had made such fool of himself. How
ever, all he could do was to try and get
the farm back. So who does he run
against within fifteen minutes bu pur
chase No. L?
Says Angus: "I'm sorry l sold you
my farm. I'd like to get 1t back.
Here's your fifty dollars, and we'll be
where we WERE"
ooh! | can't do that 1 bought
the farm, and will have the papers
ready tomorrow"
After some further higgling, Angus
offered him five hundred dollars to
break the bargain.
With great reluctance the first pur-
chaser took the five hundred dollars
one hundred new five. dollar bills of the
Bank of Montreal-and gave back to
Angus the temporary agreement Of
sale.
Angus was happy again, and set out

THE NEW GERMAN MAGAZINE GUN.

According to Engineering, the new gum which
il considered by the German Government to
have proved itself the most suitable military
repeating rifle, is the invention of the Messrs.
Msuser. the orignators of the present German
regulation rife. The magazine consists OF
tube contained in the stock, and has spiral
spring which keeps the cartridges w TO the
breech action. When the bolt is withdrawn,
cartridge, which has been forced cut of the
magazine by the spiral spring, is raised up to
the level of the cartridge chamber, into which
1t is driven by the bolt as 1t returns. The whole
action of loading Is comprised III the backward
and forward motion Of the bolt. In order To
avoid waste of ammunition. lever is attached
to one side of the action, by which the maya
zine can be instantly closed, the gun being then
loaded and fired as an ordinary breech-lOader.
The reloading of the magazine is stated only to
occupy a few seconds. This system can be APP
piled to the Mauser rifles of 1871 model, now
In use, at very small cost. Two thousand Of
these weapons are In course of construction,

DIR. sIEMENS's SOLAR THEORY.

Al. Fave. the eminent French astronomer, has
recently been led to examine DR.. Slemensb
theory that intorstellar space Is hlled with
gases somewhat like those OF the earth's at
mosphere at 1-2,000th pressure. To this
theory among other objections he makes the
following: Ill.
The trajectory of a cannon ball travelling
Boom. (547) yards per second is altered at the
end of even only few seconds, III sucn sort
that artillerymen are forced to take into &C
count the resistance of the air IN their range
tables Reducing the air to 1-2,OOOth, but rals-
Ing the velocity of the pr0jectlo to that OF the
celestial motions, these cOarseiy obvious results

mansions comparable to our cannon balls Gas

twice as great rs In our practice ranges, not NJ
the end of several years or several centuries,
but at the end of a few seconds. Again Dr.
Semens has omitted in some degree to consider
the quantity of matter he was about to add to
the solar system. Under the effect of attraction
this matter would unite itself TO existing
stars, the sun in particular, and would contlnu-
ally augment their mass. Nj. Faye goes on to
consider the mass which would thus be added
TO the sun, considering only such parts OF the
1nterstellar atmosphere as lie within Neptunes
distance from the sun. He finds this sphere of
interstelar air, even Of the tcnuity Indicated
by Dr. Slemens, would amount to about
100000 times the present mass of the SULTAN
addition of which astronomers might expect to
find some traces il the celestial mechanism.
These considerations force him TO reject absO-
lutely and decisively an atmosphere such as DR..
Siemens has imagined.
