Some important experiments have
been made ut the Shoeburyness school
Of gunnery in high angle firing. The
experiments were made with the 9-inch
or 23-centimeter gun used as a howit-
yer. An elevation of 37o was given,
and battering charges were used with
Palliser shells. Out of 4 shots 3 fell
within a space Of 500 feet by 80 feet,
representing the deck of a first class
ironclad, and the range attained was
II miles. What is very important, too,
Is that the heavy charges and the high
angle did not train either gun or carrl-
age III the least, and one of the officers
present has said that he believed the
gun would stand 45o of elevation with
out injury. while with 40 a range of 10
miles would be secured. Now at 10
miles, a ship is ''hull down." 60 it has

Prof. DelpinO, who as early as the
year 1873 announced the Idea that
most extra. floral nectar-glands in plants
are useful to the plants that bear them,
by attracting a body-guard Of ants, has
now published the first part of an
elaborate memoir on tho topic. The
number Of species recorded as having
extra.nuptial glands is much Larger
than would have been expected. This
term ''e1tranuptial' is coined to dis
tinguish glands under consideration
from certain extra-1oralR glands, which,
no less than those in the flower, are
subservient to pollination. The service
performed by the ants so attracted and
fed is the keeping-off Of caterpillars
and other insects which prey upon the
foliage, young fruits, etc.

buy the meat OF a butcher personally

meat has a reasonable proportion of fat
upon the back and running in little
lines through the lean, and if the color
is fresh and not very dark red the meat
is good; if the butcher has kept it prop
erly for a week or ten days it may be
supposed to be reasonably tender. Most
butchers are willing to keep meat the
right length of time for customers if
they take it at its first weight; 1t loses
a little weight by keeping. When this
Is the intention, have some OF line uune
trimmed of, and the fat which Is not
needed for cooking, and let these trim
mings be sent home with the days mar
keting, the bones for the soup pot and
the fat to be tried out to use in the
form of drippings. After the meat is
trimmed let it be hung up in the but
cher's refrigerator until he %pronounces
it tender, but not long enough to spoil.
