watch only recorded her temperament

when she was in low mood it went slow.

have used TIE crab powler with great sue

are poured over with the Ordinary whisky

bread pan in hot oven, thoroughly dried

through fine sieve. One dose, teaspoon

second dos is required. Each dose Is IN

An extremely pretty novelty has made its
appearance lately in the shape of colore
velvet collars and cuffs Ladies have two
or three sets of them occasionally. Some o.
the han1somest of these are the c.aret-
colorel, or garnet ones. The collar is
high turnover, cut on the pattern given In
this column some time ago. The garnet, or
claret color, is very effective worn over a
dress OF dark slate gray cashmere This Is

Again, the dark red velvet collar and cuffs
are handsome and artistic with the cream

Attention of scientific men throughout the
world has teen aroused by a marvellous
phenomenon that was observed lately. This
was nothing less than tae sudden appearance
in the constellation Andromela OF new
star Without n moments warning it
showed itself blazing as point of pickering
orange light. 1t is of the eighth magnitude.
Strange to say, it changes its position III
series of very irregular movements.
The telescope; OF tue world are trained on
the newcomer. 1t upsets all the known
theories Of astronomers. If suns and worlds
can thus be born in an instant, why may
they not likewise be Destroyed Perhaps
the new star is not new, after all, but so far
away that its light has just reached us.
Who knows. Who knows anything at al,
in fact.
DR.. Harting, of the Russian University OF
Dorpat, discovered the newcomer. 1t Is IN

of star points ana star dust.

GATLING GUN.

Such gun is that in the illustration. One
feature of it is the ease with which it can
be handled. 1t can he trained and fired
upward or downward at an angle OF %
degrees. 1t can be osciilate1 tifty-fve de
grees, and made to sweep from side to side
over very wide range of horizon. The
feeders contain sixty-four cartridges each.
The shield in front of the gunner's head
protects him from being aimed at by the
enemy. AMI also serves as magazine TO
hold the cartridges This gun has ten bar
relS, with ten lock. In addition to the
action d scribad already, the locks have a
forward and backward motion of their
own. The forward motion places the cart
ridges IN the chambers of the barrels
and close; the lreech at the time of each
discharge. The backward motion extracts
the cartridge cases after firing. As long as
the CARTRIDGES are fed into the magazine,
loading firing and extracting are carried
on automatically AMI uniformly. 1t will be
nothing against our pride to remember that
this is an American gun, NAL at the Calling
factory, Hartford, Conn. By simply turn
ing the crank the gunner can with this
marvellous weapon fir /, 200 shots a minute.
One machine eating gun alone saved Gen.
Middleton forces from disaster in the re-
cent Rlcl rebellion in Canala. 1t has not
been shown that it killa any body, Tut it
scared away lot of people.

SCIENCE zPRoSREss
Some Guns.

At the international inventions exhibit
ton, in London, one OF the most nteresting
features has been the improved guns and
cannon. Ii was a long step i'll advance
when guns began to be loaded and fired by
machinery. Before that the number OF
balls that could be fired per minute depend
ed on how rapidly the hand of man could
be moved in loading and firing. AT length
it was discovered that all this could he done
by the simple turning of crank. The gum
ner sights his weapon. Then he simply turns
a handle. At that the cartridges are dis
charged, the balls fy on their deadly mission,
yet other cartridges drop into the place the
first left, and finally the old cartridge cases
are cleaned out of the chambers of the bar
rels at tie same turn Of the lever.
