terry. The prosecuting attorney con-
scntcd % the proposition, and the
charge of felOmous assault was stricken
from the Information. The court was
evidently anxious o. get the matter DIS
posed Of and sentenced hm % three
months imprisonment 40 iona. Ih,
penalty was al right for the original
charge, and tAc court evidently had
that charge % mind, bat after cous.c-
orug thc matter for fcw moments hc
saw that hc bad gone beyond the peu-

oncr was called back. and thc sentence
was made imprisonment at the county

Had the matter been delayed habcas

He has gone regularly through the books

Discord in the Choir.

Drilling volunteer choir is the most
exasperating work ever undertaken by
q human being. In the first place it is
morally certain that at least half a dozen
members think they know more than
the leader, and two or three are al
ways better informed than the man who
wrote the music, 30 they offer, with
cheerful alacrity. the most idiotic sug-
geshons as TO the manner in which il
should be performed, and feel much ag-
grieved if their ideas are not acted on.

A New Cast Steel Gun.

A new cast steel gun has been invented
by DR.. Calling, for which he claims supe-
riority to the built up gun and half the
cost. The patents consist according to
Popular Science News in making guns
cast from the highest grade Of steel TO
shape around central core. This central
core is utilized for the purpose of cooling
the casting from the interior while the ex-
terror is still hot. The cooling process thus
begins from the interior and works out,
directly the reverse OF the ordinary way.
The metal is forced, as it were, from the
interior outwardly, thereby avoiding the
creation of hard, resisting arch on the
exterior of the casting, at which point the
full intensity of the high power force exer-
cised by the exploding ingredients within
the gun exerts itself. 1t makes the interior
of the gun, where the greatest strain is
felt, the toughest and hardest part, and the
soft and spongiest part of the exterior,
which thus acts somewhat after the man
ner of a cushion. This is directly the re-
verse of the old style guns, in which the
spongiest part is on the interior. Another
important point is the method in which
the metal is cast. a revolving motion is
given it, which makes the grain spiral.

The Louisville club, winner of the Amer
lean association pennant of 1880, made a
brilliant record during the season past. 1t
stands at the head in club fielding and in
club and individual batting. Goodall leads
the entire Association in batting with an
average of .439, but he only played in Is
games, and Wolf, another of the pennant
winners, stands second with 1853 average;
but his work during the season was much
more remarkable than Goodall's. Wolf
played 131 games, was $50 times at bat,
made 193 first base hits and scored 80 times.
Lyons, of the Athletics, and Ray, of Balti-
more, occupy third and fourth place re-
spectively. In club batting st. Louis
stands second, Syracuse third and Balti-
more last.
In club fielding Columbus and Balti-
more are tied for second place, Rochester
stands third and Brooklyn last. Knauss,
of Columbus, leads the pitchers with an
average of 81; Easton, Of Columbus, comes
second, and Meakin, of Louisville, third.
In fielding O'Connor, of Columbus, leads

Suddenly it was missing. To look for IT in

freshly burned charcoal, closely packed in

piece of muslin may be tied over the bowl
to prevent the charcoal from becoming
displaced, and bit of cotton wool in the
bottom of the bowl will prevent the dust
from entering the stem of the pipe. At
tach piece of rubber tubing TO the pipe,
and, having previously filed it with water,
place the apparatus in vessel of water as
shown in the first cut. The rubber tube
must be long enough to reach below the
bottom of the vessel containing the water.
Under these conditions the water will
slowly pass through the apparatus, being
more or less purified by the charcoal in so
doing, and flowing through the rubber
tube fall into a vessel placed to receive it.
The flow may be conveniently stopped at
any time by COMPRISING the tube with a
pinch cock, which may be easily made
from a stout hairpin bent into the form A,
Z, G in the cut. One of these filters in con-
slant operation will supply water enough
for several persons, but their value is more
scientific than practical.

These are connected to toothed wheel

axis is supported by a handle, around
which is wound string, which is pulled
by the other hand (see CUT. The con-

top rotates the current of electricity passes
through this handle and into the hand Of
