Photographing Bullets in Notion

An Austrian hysicist, Herr Ii. Mach
OF Prague. has made some interesting
experiments on photographing rifle bul-
lets in motion by means of the electric
light. In doing this he illumines the
bullet by letting it break an electric
current formed, bet the velocity of the
bullet must exceed that of sound. in or
der that the conditions of the air before
and behind the projectilc can be
shown.
After many experiments, Herr Mach
succeeded in photographing proiectiles
fired by Mr.. Wernal and MI. Jurde's
guns, having respectively an initial
velocity of 438 and $50 meters per sec
ond. The photographs thus obtained
showed an mir formation in front of the
bullet having the form of ii hyperbole,
whilst behind it almost vacuum was
formed. in which. when the initial web
ocity was very great there were some
curious spiral motions.
On the whole. there appeared from
these photographs to be II great sim.
ilarity between the motion of n body
through the water. and that of pro.
jectile through the air.

For Young Men Who are Thinking Of
Marriage.
Select the girl

Select the girl.
Agree with the girls father in poll
tics and the mother in religion.
If you have a rival keep an eye on
him; if he is widower keep two eyes
on him.
Don't swear to the girl that on have
no bad habits. 1t will be enough to say
that YOU never heard yourself snorc in
our sleep.
Don't put much sweet stuff or paper.
If YOU do you will hear it read in after
years, when your wife has some special
purpose, inllictlng upon you the sever
est punishm mt known to married man.
Go home at Il reasonable hour in the
even nc. Don't wait till the girl has TO
throw her whole soul into II yawn that
she can't cover with both hands. A
little thing like that may cause cool
ness at the very beginning of the
game.
If, while wearing your new summer
trousers for the first time, you sit down
on some molasses candy that little Will
lie has left on the chair, smile sweetly
and remark that you don't mind sitting
on molasses candy ut all, and that
'boys will be boys" Reserve your
true feelings for future reference.
If. on the occasion of your first call
the girl upon whom you have placed
your affections looks like an ice
| berg and acts like a cold wave, take
your leave early and stay away Wo-
man in her hours of freeze is uncertain,
COY and hard to please.
In cold weather finish saying good
night in the house. Don stretch it all
the way to the front gate, and thus lay
| the foundation for future asthma, brOn-
chitIs. neuralgia and chronic catarrh,
to help you to worry the girl to death
after she has married you.
Don't @ about your financial condi-
ton. 1t is very annoying to n bride
who has pictured for herself ii life of
luxury in her ancestral halls to learn too
late that YOU expect her to ask bald
headed parent who has been uniformly
kind TO her to take you in out of the
cold
Don't be too soft. Don'tsay, "These
little hands shall never do a'stroke of
work when they are mine;' and you
shall have nothing to do in our home
but TO sit all day and chirp to the can
aries" as if any sensible woman could
be happy fooling away time in that
style; and girl has q fine rotentive
memory for the soft things aud silly
promises of courlship, and occasionally,
IN after years. when she is was hing
dinner dishes or patching tho west end
of your trousers, she will remind you
of them in n cold, sarcastic, tone of
voice. -EIchGHge.

ACRES OF WILD GEESE.
Annual Descent OF Great FlocSs OF
Them In the sacramento.

Annual Descent OF Great FIocks OF
Them In the sacramento.
At this particular season of the year
tho epicure of Sacramento and San
Francisco is luXuriating upon the fes-
tive goose. and the farmers OF the Sac
ramento Valley would be delighted il
the swarms of the fouls which are now
coming for winter quarters could be
transferred in body to the city mar
kets Ii the San Francisco denizen
who looks with longing eye at tue
tempting display of dressed geese in the
markets and show windows of San Fran
cisco could look upon the immense
Hooks rs they swOop down upon the
wheat fields in this section of the State,
and see how numerOusly they are kill
ed and left lying on the ground, their
idea of goose luxury would vanish.
Not until late years have the geese
invaded the farming precinct OF YuB
County to any damaging extent, but
now they are looked for with mingled
confidence and dread by the farmers in
the northern portion of the county.
They generally make their appearance
early in the fall or just before the faR
rains. Their first visit is confined to
the country along the river, or where
they can obtain water, but after tho
rains come and water can be had on
the back plains they migrate TO the
wheat fields and live sumptuously upon
the wheat stubble. Yet their numbers
are indeed small as compared to those
which infest Colusa County, as tho
large expanse of barren plains in the
latter counties afford them bett er
rendezvous. The writer has seen them
in bands which covered as much as iif-
ty acres of ground.
These invading armies are very dam
aging to young grain, and as soon rs
the grain begins to sprout it is neceS-
sary to employ "herders." who parade
the fields with rifles and drive them OFT
Such farmers as Boggs. Rideout tho
Glenn ranch. &c, employ not less than
a dozen of these herders every fall and
winter, who live in cabins distributed
over their lands. OF late years the far

necessary to herd off the fowls in order

No Total Eclipse Here in 1888.

Total eclipses of the SIM are to give
America the go-by this year. What arc
our people thinking about that no effor
has been made to secure at least one
exhibition of this kind for the United
States? Other countries have total
sclipses-Poland is notable example
and all that Is required is little en-
5erprise and energy. with some one to
Jake the initiative, in order to have a to-
al eclipse show here. An cell pse
brings many strangers to town and
thereby bOoms trade. 1t makes bust

and dealers in smoked glass. 1t takes

something else TO think about besides
their own ills, and makes the most de-
spondent among us look up. We hone
another year will not be suffered to
pass without arrangements being made
Tor total eclipse on this side of the
water. Correspondence should be open
eel early on the subject and an indemnk-
ty fund subscribed for to meet emergen-
cies. Reduced rates can be secured on

A New Edible From the Sea.

A new edible delicacy of marine ORR
gin, and surprising, in the opinion of
many southern gourmands, the finest
oysters, is about to be introduced into
this country. A supply of the true
Mediterranean sea-urchins, in good
condition, is to be consigned to our
market. and English cpicures will be
asked to try the eggs of the echinidean
after.the fashion of Marseiles-that is.
by eating them off the shells, raw and
uncooked. The sea-urchin, which SCI
entiiic men. with the playful simplicity
characteristic of the kind have agreed
to designate the "strongylocentrotus"
is an article of food in many parts of
the world as most people are probably
aware. Hence one of the common
names it bears among lisherfolk who
have no reputation for learning to keep
up. and who call it the "sea-egg."
But all along the shores of tho Medi-
terrane9n the iivc-celled rosottc form
ing the inside of the prickly creature is
esteemed one of the tasteless yielded
by the sea. Strangers visiting the Mar
settles fish market will see basket after

protected against the sharp prickles by
stout cloth wrapped around it, the
stomach-sack is cut out, and the fine
orange colorcd eggs in the centre eX-
posed and handed on the shell TO the
customers ever ready for the dainty.
These eggs are only to be found In tho
"urchin' between the months of Oc-
tober and May, that is, about the same
time rs the oyster is in season. At 9TH
er times the eggs are missing, and
many worthy people have pronounced
the creature good for nothing because
they happened TO capture and open il
at the wrong season OF the year. The
Irchn fishery. owing to the great de-
| mand for the crustacean in Southern
Europe, is one of the most important
Of the Mediterranean. The creatures
frequent rocky ground. and in the

below high-water mark in the shoals of

Parting With the Bottle.

A Congressional abstinence society

society which is perhaps the most elo-
quent temperance effort ever delivered
in the Congressional halls. Its con-
clusion was masterful. though the sem
tence containing it was as long as one
OF Senator Evarts' longest 1t ran:
IL would not exchange tho physical

sweet repose it yields him ut night, the
feeling with which he drinks in, through
his clear eyes. the beauty and grandeur
of surrounding nature; L say. sir, l will

strictly temperance man, the sense of
renovated youth, the glad play with
which my pulses now beat healthful
