Killing Made Easy.

In the time of Napoleon it was es- timated that 600 bullets had to bo fired in battle before man was killed in other words, every dead soldier represented hls own weight in lead. But the recent improvement in fire arms has added to the effciancy of the soldier. The greater range ot the rife, as we'll as the rapidiSy with which it can be fired, has made it thirty-two times as effective as the smooth bore. To put it accurately, a military authority says that the mod ern rife Is superior to the old smooth bore in the following particulars. It IS eight times more effective in accu- racy, two thirds greater in range and penetration, five times greater in rapidity of aimed fire; while the weight of the cartridge per man has diminished, yet the number that may be carried has increased. The added efficiency of the heavy guns is no less surprising. The famous Krupp now makes 8 gun of nine inches caliber and eighteen tons weight, which will send a bullet through twenty inches of solid iron; and his field gun within arange of more than a mile and half can be depended upon to put a projectile into space of less than 200 square feet. Taking into consideration the breech-loading, rifiing, better powder, improved pro- jectors, the lighter cartridges of steel, the science of artillery has been en- tirely revolutionized, and any battery of to-day Is more effective than twenty of those SO skillfully handled by the great Napoleon. In the next great battles some dreadful engines of destrucuon will be brought into play. The Hotchkiss revolver gun can ire bursting shells at the rate of eighty minute. It can pour out 8 continuous and deadly fire of seventy five rounds, every sixty seconds. It is fearful to think of the havoc which would be caused by gun of the flu ture.-Demole est's Monthly.

Millions of Dollars i'm Gem.
 stock TaiIings.

Of a new machine for concentrat. ing taiIings from the Comstock the Chronicle states the probability ofits success and the $zO,OO0OOO of treas ure are known to exist m one reser- voir down the canyon. It proceeds as follows:
 James Dillon, Comstock machin ist, who has had many years experi ence in milling ore, is confident Chat he has succeeded in solving the problem of concentrating low grade taillngs, so that they can be milled at handsome profit.
 George w. Hopkins, formerly Mayor of this city, and W. T. O'Neal, of San Francesca, are having 8 con centrator Gnvented by Mir. Dillion) constructed at the Curry works in Flowery,S. c.
 The machine is simple in construc- tion and will be run by water power. They have purchased from the Bank of California the large pile of tailings in Six Mile Canyon, near the Eclipse mill, and south of the base of the Sugar Loaf. These tailings were fiumed in bulk from the Omega mill sluices in the bonanza days by the late Ira $. Parke, but were found to be too low grade to be worked in their natural state at profit.
 The immense natural reservoir having a semeclrcle of mountains forming its banks-contains more than 6,OO0,000 tons of tailings, giving an average assay of $4 ton or over 20,0O0,0O0. locked up for more than a decade In those glitterng sands. Human ingenuity has at last discov cred the combination to the safe, and close listed nature will soon be forced to disgorgs large portion of this hidden treasure.
 There are more than one hundred millions wrapped up in low grade taillpgs in Storey county, Should the apparatus succeed in concentrst- ing the sulphurets contained in these dusty banks, the wealth extracted

This sad story comes from Mon tana. A resident was out hunting
 recently, aud a storm coming up he crept into hollow log for shelter After the storm abated he endeavored to crawl out, but he found that the log had swelled so that 1t was i'm. impossible to make his exit. He en. deavored to compress himself as much as possible, but with indifferent sue cess. He then thought of all the mean things he had ever done, until finally his mind reverted to a fact, that instead of subscribing for his local papers, he was in the habit of borrowing them from his neighbor and thus defrauding the printer. On this, he says, he felt so small that he slipped out of the log without an effort.

The other day a thunder storm passed around the city to the north no rain falling, although lightning could be seen and thunder heard. 4 slim-waisted man a satchel in one hand and pair of boots in the other, had been strolling around for half an hour, and he seemed greatly perplex- ed over the wet streets. He looked from street to sky and back, grumbl- ed to himself and at the corner of Woodward avenue and Congress street came across street sprinkler. He caught the idea in an instant.and gesturing to the driver called out: "You might as we'll put that old squirter up for I know your trick.

Once he brought out we'll known trapper of the neighborhood, who siIenced him for the time being wi tn 8 narrative which has probably done duty with other liars but was pat to the occa
 sion. He declared that couple of winters previous, while looking at
 his traps along the millrace, he spied an old muskrat on the bank. Rais- ing his gun he blazed away, and then jumped down to keep the rat from getting into the water. Be leive it or not" he added, 'I jumped SO quick that I got that whole load of shot in my back."-Cincinnati En

THE MOON INHABITED.
Towns, Villages and Cult iV a
 ted Fields can be seen.

At the astronomical observatory Ol
 Berlin, says translation from Nyt
 Pressen Helsinsfor, discovery has
 lately been made which, without
 doubt, will cause the greatest sensa.
 tion, not only among the adopts in
 science, but even among the most
 learned Professor Blendman, in
 that city, has found, beyond doubt
 that our old friend, the moon, is not
 mere lantern which kindly gives
 light for the loving youth and gas
 companies of our planet, but the
 abode of living, intelligent beings,
 for which he is prepared to furnish
 proofs most convincing.
 This question has ag:tated humani- ty from time immemorial, and has been the object of the greatest inter est. But the opinions have always differed very widely, and no two minds held one and the same. AL ready in ancient times the belief that the moon was inhabited with some higher organized, intelligent beings somewhat resembling man, and in order to communicate with them the earthly enthusiasts planted rows of trees several miles in length so as to form the figure of the Pythagorean theorem. The celebrated astronomer Shroder, in the beginning of the, present century, fancied that he could detect spots which perlodicaIly grew lighter and darker, and from this fact he derived the conclusion that the phenomenon was proof of existing vegetation. During the last few decades however, the idea of life on the moon has been held up tc ridicule and totally scorned by men of learn ing. But, nevertheless 1t has proved to be correct,
 Dr. Blendman conceived the idea to make the object glass of the re- fractar less sensitive to the rays of light, and for that purpose he dark | ened it with the smoke of champion. | After experimenting for several succeeded in taking a very accurate photo of the moons surface.
 The revelation was most startling. It perfectly overturned all hitherto ideas of the moons sur lace. Those level plains which for nerIy were held to be oceans proved 0 be verdant fields, and what former y was considered mountains turned put ss deserts of sand and oceans of water. Towns and habitations of all liDds were plainly discernible, as we'll of signs of industry and traffic. The learned professors study and observations will be repeated every lull moon when the sky is clear.

We probed the wound about an inch and 8 half 1t went straight into the brain, and there was some of the brain substance on the ground where he fell when shot. There was another bullet wound just under the right eye that penetrated about an inch. The course of the bullets was from right to left.

The season is now at hand when the festive prospector and verdant tenderfoot will sally forth ID quest of untold riches. Th9 first named will naturally follow the inordinate de

 class as 8 rule will bllndly settle upon ground bearing good surface indications, without using discretion and proper precaution to ascertain their position to surrounding claims.

Our advice, therefore, to the inexperienced prospector, is to thoroughly famiLarize himself with the laws governing mining claims
