THE GRAY SQUIRREL.
Some Habits OF This Interesting Member
OF the Rodent Family.

Some Habits of This Interesting Member
of the Rodent Family.
Although the gray squirrel lays up
some store of nuts for the winter, he is
not a very provident housekeeper, and
enjoys his food as he gets it. He sleeps
through the rugged weather in some
hollow branch or tree trunk, but the
warm winter sunshine will sometimes
lure him out even when the snow is
lying on the hills. Still he is not wholly
improvident, as the empty nutshells
about his winter quarters testify. His
character as poacher is not above sus-
picion, and many birds nest is rifled
IF both eggs and downy young when
they fall in the way of his rambles.
A rather remarkable feature in the
life of the gray squirrel is the irregular
migratory movement which numbers of
them make at various times. more
especially in the fall of the year. For
many years the gray squirrels may be
scarce in many sections of the country,
when all at once some fine autumn
morning the woods and trees were over
run with them. Broad rivers offer no
barrier to their progress; mountain
ranges are crossed and whole areas Of
woodland are given over to them.
These occasional migrations are very
similar to the irregular movements Of
iemming. ratlike animal of Northern
Europe, which ut times sweeps over
the country in vast hordes. devouring
ovarv Oraan thing in fhoir nafh A
tract of country through which such a
migration has passed IS often COM
pletely devastated. But happily the mi-
grations of onr squirrel are not on so
large scale or so frequent, and the
crops do not suffer greatly. The cause
of these movements Is undoubtedly a
scarcity of food compelling them to
leave. and der common impulse
they unite in one great body and mi-
CRATE elsewhere. - Philadelphia Times.

ALUMINIUM BRONZE.
How It Might BE Utilized In the Manu-
facture of Guns.

How It Might BE Utilized In the Manu-
fscture OF Guns.
A recent meeting of the Naval In
stitute at Annapolis was held to discuss
q paper on the subject of aluminium
bronze for heavy guns, which had been
prepared by Alfred H. and Eugene H.
Cowles at Cleveland. Many of the most
distinguished metallurgists and ord
nance experts in the country were
present. Mr.. A. Fl. Cowles read tho
paper. For safety. he said, the metal
in a gun should have the property of
stretching much beyond its elasticity,
and thereby the danger of violent ex-
plosion is greatly diminished. Assum-
ing that the gun carriage takes up the
recoil. perfect gun might be described
as a gun of medium weight and simplest
construction. which shall discharge
without permanent distortion, and
thereby be enabled to throw a proiec-
tile with maximum energy. This is how
he would make the gun: The gun
would be cast in an iron mold of a
grade of aluminium bronze, castings
of which have a higher textile strength
and ductility than the finest quality
of mild steel forgings. The solid
gun would then be bored and conical
chilled steel mandrels of gradually in
creasing diameter successfully driven
through the bore. The metal around
the bore, by this process of cold stretch
ing. would thereby have greater
strength and hardness. higher elastic
limit, and greater elastic extension.
1t would be impossible to burst such a
gun with four times the powder pres
sure now used in the "built up'' steel
guns. The wall would be solid, and
there would be no crystallization. The
finished gun would have the color and
luster of gold. 1t would not be cor
roded by salt water or eroded as much
as steel by the powder gases. Plants
for producing aluminium bronze and
casting the guns would not require more
than one-third as great an outlay in
capital as it is proposed to invest in
plants for the construction of "built
up" steel guns. and not one-quarter of
the time would be necessary to build
either aluminium plants or guns. In
conclusion DIR. Cowles said that were
our Government at the present time
enabled to make the great advance re-
ferred to in the art of fabrication of
guns. the present armaments of Europe
would be rendered valueless against us.
Cast guns, he said, can be made from
aluminium bronze at its nrasant obaao
ened price at twenty per cent. less cost
than forged guns of steel. and sixty per
cent. Of this cost is capital stored away
in the metal of the gun, which can be
remodelled and used over an indefinite
number of times. This, he said. was
not the case with steel guns, which,
when once destroyed. are total loss,
ninety-eight per cent. of their cost be-
ing in their fabricetion.-N, Y. San.

THE SuLTAN's LIFE.
Turkeys Ruler In Constant Dread OF Lo

Turkeys Ruler In Constant Dread OF Los.
ing His Life by Violence.
For many years the Sultan has been
afraid to leave Yildis-Kiosk. Not only
has he not visited a single town in any
part of his empire. but he does not even
venture to go as far as Stamboul or to
take sail on the Bosporus. He is
afraid that an attack may be made up
on his person or that a mine may ex-
plode under his feet. The law of his
religion compels him to perform his
devotions every Friday in mosque,
and in former times the Selamlik was
always celebrated with great solemnity
at Stamboul. Since Abdul Hamid's 8
accession this ceremony has been per-
formed at the mosque nearest to the
palace, on which occasions the road is
always kept by double line of troops,
and no spectator is allowed to show
himself. either in the street or along
the houses. And in order to make as
surance doubly sure a new mosque is
now being built close up to the palace
to enable his Majesty to attend the re-
ligious services without setting foot out
OF doors. In other respects Yildis-
Kiosk is to all intents and purposes a
fortress.
Whole brigades of spies swarm about
the city, entering the restaurants and
drinking saloons and even finding their
way into private dwellings. People are
conscious of being watched by these
minions of the palace. wherefore all
conversation in public turns upon the
most trivial and commonplace topics.
Fireworks and the use of ex-
plosiyes are prohibited. The military
are only supplied with blank cartridges
and are not allowed to practice target
shooting. Some time ago a
couple of practical jokers found moth
ing better to do than to write insulting
letters to the Sultan and the Grand
Vizier, and from that day to this there
has been no local post delivery in Con-
stantinople. Any one having private
or business message to send must either
intrnst it to servant, or, if he happens
to be without one. must hire horse
and spend half day over q trifiing
matter that could have been settled in
two minutes. How encouraging to
trade and commerce! No people in the

The Weight of a Fly.

James Spencer hit on a novel way to
get at the approximate weight of fly.
His store is greatly pestered with flies,
and he recently brought into use the
patent fly paper. He put out 21 of
these sheets, being 12x28 inches each,
covering surface of 336 square inches.
In the evening when the papers were
filed, he took them up to destroy them
and noticed the increased weight, and,
struck with curiosity, he put the papers.
with their load of dead flies. in pair
of scales, and found that the 21 weighed
exactly seven pounds. He then weighed
21 sheets without the flies, and found
that they weighed four pounds and four
ounces. Thus on the Il papers there
were Al ounces, or two pounds and IL
ounces of flies. This number Of flies is
taken probably two or three times a
day. Now If you want to know how
much fly weighs" says Mr. Spencer.
..you will find that there is an average
of 20 flies to the square inch on the
paper. On one paper. therefore. which
has 1856 square inches, you have S.720
flies, and on the whole n sheets there
are 141,1 flies; therefore, if 141, 10
flies weigh "A ounces. how much does
