The Dynamite Air Gun.

While the possibilities of friag from
ordinary cannon projectiles containing
very small amounts of dynamite have
been revived in public interest by the
recent experiments at Sandy Hook, a
board of naval officers, appointed bv
Secretary Whitney to examine and re-
port upon the pneumatic dynamite gun
TO be used IN the new cruiser, has given q
very encouraging account of that in
ventiOn.
The first element they note IN this
novel device is its accuracy. This is the
result of the perfection to which the in
ventors have brought the control of com.
pressed air at high pressures, so that
they are able to very slightly increase or
diminish the range of shot, or even to
exactly duplicate it.
Then as to the amount of dynamite. it
is certain that the stipulated quantity
of 200 pounds can be fred with perfect
safety, and that the possibilities in this
respect seem to be only limited by the
size of the gUn constructed.
Another very important matter is the
cheapness with which the gun can be
built as compared with ordinary weapons
of an equal caliber. II can also be con.
structed with great rapidity, whereas &
powder gun may require years for com
pletion.
As to range it is thought that two miles
can be counted upon, although the board
has witnessed experiments at only about
mile. Still il is wisely concluded that
before taking further steps with this new
device, the results of actual trials of the
new cruiser should be awaited.

neuralgia just when l want to feel at my

why some people starve while worse peo-

there are some other things to look after.
The little matter of day and night think

there would be an eclipse or two to look
after, an occasional rain, some snow,

PRECIOUS harvest time to manage; there

lations with the earth. Come to think of

skill OF Ancient Builders

A personal inspection of the pyramids
of Egypt, made by quarry owner who
spent some time recently on the Nile, has
led him to the conclusion that the old
Egyptians we're better builders than
those of the pre- sent day. He states that
there are blocks of stone in the pyramids
that weigh three or four times as much as
the obelisk on the embankment. He saw
a stone whose estimated weight was $50
tons. But then the builders of the pyra-
mids counted human labor lightly. They
had great masses of subjects upon whom
to draw, and most of their work was done
by sheer manual labor a1d force. There
are stones in the pyramids thirty feet in
length which fiji SO closely together that
penknife may be run over the surface
without discovering the break between
them. They are not laid with mortar
either. There is no machinery so perfect
that it will make two surfaces thirty feet
in length which will meet together in
unison as those stones in the pyramids
meet. 1t is supposed that they were rub
bed backward and forward upon each
other until the surfaces were assimilated.

Loss of Speed in Planets and Comet.

Is the motion OF planetary bodies per
petual! At first everything seems TO
show that it is. The Earth, which wit h it
mass of 100000, 100000, tons turns with
q speed which enables a student to go
bareheaded a good many miles without
catching cold in the act of saluting a
professor. for long time defied all at
tempts to detect in 1t a loss of speed, bat
with the friction OF the tides continually
at work such loss must take place, and
now it Is pretty certain from the calcu-
latlons of Adams, the astronomer, that
the earth loses about an hour in 1900
years, and is coming to rest rather leis-
urely. So also, the hurrying up of the
comets as they go round the sun is pos
sibly accounted for by retarding action
in space which makes it necessary for
them to try and make up, as it were, for
lost time; and in fact the general argu-
ments in the present day are in favor OF
what Sir Is aac Newton believed-that the
motions of all bodies in space are suffer
ing retardation and that their velocity is
becoming less and will ultimately cease.

COOKING ONIONS.

A very appetizing way to cook onions
is to boil them in salt water until they
begin to be tender; drain the water from
them and wrap each onion in soft paper;
set them side by side into a dripping
pan, let them bake until done, then PIT
into vegetable dish and pour rich brown
gravy over them. Spanish onions are
especially nice cooked this way, as they
have so delicate a flavor.
Little pigs in blankets are made by
draining the oysters and seasoning with
salt and pepper, and then cutting fat
bacon into very thin slices and wrapping
big oyster in each slice, fastening it
with wooden skewer-a toothpirk is
best. The frying pan must be heated
we'll before the little pigs are put in,
and they must cook long enough for the
bacon to crisp. They are to be served
Immediately on toast cut into small
pieces.
