How ID Thisi

Will you lend the aid of your gi-
gantic intellect in settling this ques-
ton? When a man shoots at a tar
get, say at fifty yards, and it is
struck, does the bullet hit the tar
get or the target hit the bullet =?
For instance: The earth moves at
the rate of a thousand miles per
hour from west to east. A bullet
from . gun will 60 the first fifty
yards at the rate of one thousand
miles an hour. The man shoots
in the opposite direction from the
earth's motion. Now, the east and
west velocity of the bullet equals
the west and east velocity of the
earth, and the bullet must, there
fore, stand still; and does the target,
being fixed to the earth and having
its motion, come up at the rate OF
a thousand miles an hour and hit
the bullet suspended in the air I
That's what the scientific shooter
wants you to tackle and answer to
the best Of your ability.

An Unerownsd King.

The "King of Cyprus" as he
entitled himself, has died in st.
Petersburg. His name was Col.
Louis de Lusignan, and his descent
was from the Crusaders and the
Lusignans of France. A soldier
in the Russian army, he neverthe-
less preserved the hope Of becom-
ing King of Cyprus and Armenia,
and advanced his claims with the
persistency of Henry v as often
as a crisis arose in the affairs Of
the Ottoman Empire. When Lord
Beaconsfield attached Cyprus 10
the English Empire he issued
solenn protest, and demanded
from Turkey a bonus of 500, 900,
600 for the surrender of his rights
He was an excellent specimen Of
the almost extinct species of royal
pretenders.

Transplanting Trees.

Edward Clark, architect Of the
National Capitol, says that during
the last ten years oser one hun.
dred trees whose trunks averaged
ore foot in diameter were trans.
planted to the grounds about the
Capitol. To adapt them to re.
moval their reets were cut off a,
a distance of three and one-hali
feet from the trunk. The opera
ton was regarded as hazardous,
and was characterized as an In.
Judicious and disastrous one. II
snow reported that all Of the
trees, with two exceptions, have
nourished and are growing more
rapidly than others in the same
park. ....

4 SHOOTING AFFAIR.

Last Monday morning a fisher.
man by the name of Will frankie,
whose boat was moored at the foot
of the Delta bar, had a dispute with
two other fishermen, Lawrence and
Will Davis, whose boat was also
at the foot of the bar, about fish
line which frankie accused Law
renee Davis of taking. Lawrence
denied the charge, and offered to
convince frankie that he had not
taken his line, if he would come
with him. frankie however went
to his boat, where he armed him
self with rifle and shotgun, and
returning to where the Davis boys
were, fred at Lawrence, wounding
him in the left shoulder and arm,
frankie then fired at William,
whom he slightly wounded in the
leg. The Davis were unarmed.
Chief Groome of Vicksburg, off,
Ger Price, and DR.. Dangerfeld OF
Delta secured a boat and followed
frankie, who had unmoored his
boat, and floated down the river.
The party found Frankie's boat
and also found frankie prepared
for war, for he defed the party
and threatened to fire on them il
they approached nearer than they
were. The party returned and
having prepared themselves fol
battle Officer Price returned tc
the place where they had seen
Frankie's boat, accompanied by
a number of fishermen, raftmer
and others only to find the bird
had flown. The boat and Mrs
frankie were there but frankie
had gone. Lawrence Davis, whose
wound is serious, is improving.

A'Sound Bank.

An eastern man who was in Wis
consin few days ago stepped into
a bank in a small town to get a $50
bill changed. The cashier spoke
to the bookkeeper. The latter
spoke to the janitor, and that indi-
vidual put on his coat and hat and
crossed the street and returned in
company with a man who turned
out to be president and chief stock
holder. This person stepped
around to the safe and by the aid
of the bookkeeper opened it and
handed the cashier about SIS and
charged it to him on day book.
Later in the day, as ne met the
eastern man on the street, he ex-
planned:
perhaps that transaction look
ed queer to you, but five years ago
1 made up my mind that if my
cashier took q notion to-skip he'd
have to pawn his boots to get be.

watches the cashier, the janitor
watches the bookkeeper, and l keep
