ARROW RELEASE.


How to Hold the Bow and Arrow So Tina
Leaving the Bow.
At the Newport meeting of the Ma
ton Academy of Sciences, Prof. E. s
Morse read paper on methods O
Arrow Release in Eastern Archery"
He stated that for two years past he
has been investigating the methods OF
arrow release. The subject is import
ant in meteorological researches, since
observations on the affinity of nation:
can at least be checked by comparing
| their methods of releasing the arrow,
1t is of the highest Importance to prose
| cute these Investigations vigorously,
since arrows are rapidly going out Of
use all over the world. In some East
ern nations a short ball is already COM
ing into use instead of arrows; and va
rious devices vie with firearms in sup
planting the use of arrows.
Different peoples. then, have charac-
teristic methods of holding the bow and
arrow. The English hold the arrow be-
tween the first and second fingers, OF
sometimes between the second and
third fingers, both grips being shown
on ancient tapestries, etc. The thumb
assists in the grasp. The arrow passes
left of the bow.
Children usually hold the arrow with
thumb and forefiner, but no string
bow can be so drawn. The Amos in
Japan have this method. They must
have very strong hands. Their arrows
have prominent knob to assist them
in grasping.
The Japanese grasp the string with
with the thumb, and bring the fore
finger over tho thumb, while the arrow
passes to the right OF the bow. This
seems to be the best possible method,
because it releases both sides of the ar
row equally and simultaneously. It
also presses the arrow against the bow.
The Japanese wear glove with a
groove for the arrow. f
All the Mantchu-eyed people have
this method of release. The Chinese
use round horn ring for the thumb.
The Coreans use ring of somewhat
different shape. The Turkish release
is the same. There has lately been ex-
humed on the River Oxus clay tablet
associated with coins 200 to 800 b. c.,
in which the same method is shown as
being in use at that date.
The Zuni Indians were the first tina,
he examined. He found among them
that the thumb and forefinger grasp the
arrow, and the second and third finger,
the string. The same method prevails
among all the tribes he has examined.
Among the Assyrian tablets, hefound'
various methods of release portrayed,
the Saxon, the North America, and;
the Aino. but he did not find a trace of,
the Mongol release. :.
DR.. Baelze, the most important con. !
tributor to this branch of ethnology,s.,
thinks there are affinities between. :
Japanese and Assyrians, but the study.
of bow and arrow methods does notss'
confirm this theory. I"
Prof. Morse recently met Lieutenant
who reports that at Port Bar.
row he found the natives using no MonIt
gol nor North American, but the Saxon
release. Their arrows have fattened
end. so as to pass readily between ths,,
fingers.-Scientitic american. -

The sound of wheels and the tread OF
heavy feet upon the seldom-traveled
by-path, beside which stood her cot
| tage home, caused the farmers wife to
pause for moment in the open door
way to bestow half-listless glance up
on the scene without.
| Of the rare loneliness of the sight at
that moment, delighting the fine,
aesthetic taste of the woman who occu-
pied luxurious carriage slowly NOV

least conception. The quaint old log
house, fianked with snug outbuildings,
and EMPOWERED in overhanging forest
trees; the trinity swept walks and gar
| den gay with flowers; the barn-y ard
fowls lazily preening their feathers in
] the warm, sunlit air, while the doves
lazily circled about overhead, suggested
to her dulled perceptions no such har-
monious picture of restful, rural SIM
plicity SIS appeared to the beauty-loving
stranger, but seemed rather, if thought
of at all, as so many different objects of
care, or fruits of too well-remembered
hours of toll and hardship.
Twenty years had come and gone
since, the bride of pioneer, with high
hope and cheerful courage, her feet
had first crossed this threshold. In
slow procession yearha followed year,
each bringing its moiety of change
little more land reclaimed from the for
est; an added granary; another child to
the mother-arms. perhaps-but never
one bringing surcease of toll, nor the
least sweet morsel of comfort for the
poor hearts ever-increasing burden of
dearest hopes deferred. To-day, faded,
careworn and middle-aged, she stood
and looked on the fair, sweet woman
before her, whose dainty attire and
bearing of careless grace told of q life
of culture and ease, with eyes from
which the light of hope had departed,
but into which there suddenly crept an
expression of panied and puzzled ques-
tioning.
Returning from its pleased survey OF
the premises, the passer's glance rested
upon the woman's form in the door
way; and. noting the troubled face,
with quick, intuitive sympathy, she
grasped its meaning. Her keenly-ob-
servant intelligence needed but this
W uO"
great was the contrast between this 9TH
er woman's lot and her own. Yet over
against her own life of wide freedom
and pleasing activities, she saw another
subjected to the soul-harrowing, be-
numbing influences of ,never-ending toll
and petty care; and over the pretty
scene as it slowly passed from view
there seemed to fall a shadow of gloom,
while to her own face there came a re-
Election of the others pain, as, with
quivering lips she voiced the thought at
that moment in the hearts of both:
''Why this difference? Is it chancep
