A Beautiful Experiment.

A curious and little-known expert
ment, showing the resistance of the air
in guns, Is described by Professor Dan
lei Colladon, of Geneva. He was long
in the habit of showing it to his classes.
1t resembles feat that was sometimes
performed by soldiers with the old Swiss
carbines. M. COLLATION. fully charged
with compressed air the hollow iron
breach of an air-gun, serving as reser-
voir. Having screwed up the gun, he
introduced a round lead ball, running
freely, but nearly filling the bore; then,
placing the gun vertical he seized the
upper end and pressed his thumb vigor-
ously on the mouth. The gun was then
''fired' by an assistant; the thumb re-
manned in position, and the ball was
heard to fall back in the bore. There
upon, after recharging the breach with
the same ball, he shot the latter at a
pine board about 4 of an inch thick. or
a pane of glass, and it passed through.
The experiment, Nj. Colladon says, is
without danger, if the operator is sure
of the strength of his thumb, if the gun
is more than thirty-two inches long, and
if the ball is spherical and nearly fills
the gun Gin which it must act like a
piston.) The least uncertainty in the
very vigorous pressure of the thumb and
hermetic closure of the gun may entail
serious injury to the thumb. While M.
Colladon has repeated the experiment
twenty or thirty times without the least
inconvenience either from shock or heat,
a trial of it is perhaps hardly to be rec
commended. Mature.

Szekely, aged 20. This damsel is bru-

type of ancient Greek statues. Her

days, owing to little accident which
happens even to English ladies, her

ing. Meanwhile, before it arrives, no
doubt numerous challenges will be hurl-
ed to Cornelia from Europe, Asia, Afri-
ca. and America, and the railway COM
panies to Pesth may be expected to de-
clare vast dividends. reaped from the

The Animal World.

Correspondent Discourses Upon the Dogs Sa-
gacity.
once owned greyhound who was
troubled with dreams. She would keep
her limbs going as when running, and
kept up a subdued or muffied barking,
as if in pursuit of game. Her actions
were human-like, and seemed to indi-
cate that she possessed spiritof thought
independent of her ordinary dogship.
am not prepared to say that there is
a spiritual haven for dogs or other ami
mails, but must confess that my love for
the brute creation is such that can ar
que at least in favor of such provi-
sion fer all beings. Also that SO much
intelligence. love and faithfulness were
not created for transitory existence.
Ii the rocks and trees are indestructible,
in fact all inanimate things cannot be
destroyed but only changed, can we not
reasonably argue that the mental or in
structive forces of intelligent animals
shall live forever?
A dog knows when he is used well,
and remembers an insult. He is capa-
BILE of being shamed; point your finger
at him and call him sneak and he will
act like sneak. Then call him good
Towser, handsome fellow, with beauti-
full brown eyes, and he will stand up
and climb all over you to show that you
have spoken the truth.
A gentleman and his wife called upon
us few evenings since and brought
with them a ST. Bernard dog. He had
a muzzle on made of leather. The mas
ter made it but six hours before. He
took off the muzzle and laid it on the
floor and spoke to the canine in the or
binary tone of voice as follows: Bruno,
where is your mr:zzlc?n The dog i'm
mediately picked it up and laid it on
his masters lap. A dog that will learn
the name of muzzle in half day, and
stick his own nose into it. is more intel
ligent than some boys, who cannot learn
the name of a mountain, or lake or
sea in twenty-four hours.
This remarkable dog took off his mas
ter's hat, to teach him politeness, when
he came into the room with it upon his
head. He knew the names of cat, rat.
and the names of members of the fami-
ly, and yet he was but one year old.
Quite smart boy, eh?-Syracuse

employment in every county,-yet ener-

from 500 to $500 a month clear, work
ing fer us in pleasant and permanent
business. The amount our agents make
varies, some making as high as $500 a
month while others as low as 800, all
depending on the energy of the agent.
We have an article of great merit. 1t
should be sold to every HORSEPOWER and
pays over 100 per cent profit. Each
sale is from So. so to $1,000. One agent
in Pennsylvania sold 80 in two days, and
cleared $4,000. An agent in New York
made $500 in one day. Any man
with energy enough to work full day.

will show that those investing S25 can
after a 80 days trial return the goods
unsold to us and get their money back,
if they do not clear at least 800. They
show that General Agent who will take
ten counties and invest $4,000 can after
trial of 80 days return all goods unsold
to us, and have money returned to them
if they fail to clear at least $3.50 in that
time. There are many. persons having
money to invest who could not give the
business personal attention-such can
employ sub agents without leaving home
making large amount yearly out of q
very small investment. We are not pay

work and obtain as their pay the profits
of their energy. Men not willing to work
on our terms will not work on any.
Those meaning business will receive

In the Wrong Boy.i

A stranger elbowed his way yesterday
into the Tribune building. He was a
Celt, and he hadn't been long separated
from the ''mither country" He walk
ed up to the fourth story, and not see
ing what he wanted, concluded to ask
for it. While he was preparing his con-
undrum the elevator shot up from the
first story. Taking time by the fore
lock and the elevator door by the ham
die, he struck an attitude, raised his
fore-fnger on high and remarked to the
elevator boy:
''Shtopr'
care you going up?'' asked the boy,
stopping the elevator in its dizzy as
cent.
''And are yer going the way upP" re-
piled the Celt.
YES" answered the boy, and the
stranger got in.
'.Do you know anybody up there?"
inquired the boy, wondering what his
passenger could want in the editorial
rooms.
''No, indade," was the reply.
Having reached the top story and
seeing no indications that the passen-

the door and started the elevator on its
downward course. At this unexpected
change of direction ON the part of the
elevator the Irishman seemed somewhat
amazed. Giving his cotton umbrella a
nervous twitch he said:
'.Down stairs" replied the boy;
''where do you want to get outg'
'Och, want to get out at One-hun-
dred-and-ninth sthrate and Second ave-
nue."
With one of those knowing smiles
that mean volumes the elevator boy di-
reeted the passenger to the elevated
railroad. As the lrishman turned on
his heel to 60 he remarked in an I'M
dertone, ''Och, bedad, the policeman
told me this was the elevator. "-NeU

short as the one reported from Califor-

Sept. 10, 1881, says: cit affords me
pleasure to recommend DR.. Foord'sTonic

April 5, 1882, says: 81 regard Foord's
Tonic Cordial by far the most eficacious

has, and would not be without bottle
in the house under any circumstances.
