"Dog Profit" Holloway . the tramp who
was found day or two ago in Connecti-
cut, nearly dead from exposure, is well
known there because of the fascination
he exercises over dogs. He'has been seen
accompanied by as many as twenty-five
dogs, and he always has from four to
ten with him. Almost any dog will fol-
low him with half an invitation, it is
said, and when he coaxe no dog can re-
sist him. Valuable dogs hsve been
known to leave their masters to take up
with Holloway. and, when brought back,
would seek the first opportunity to join
the beggar. Holloway has been, so long
a wanderer that he can claim no town as
a residence, but, SO far as,can be learned,
he was born in Foster, Il. I--Exchange.

land, similar graves having Gully been once

built of stones in the form of a.ship, the cal

bottom. Further, nine graveswith skeletons
from the later iron ago have been found near

Strauss, the great yalse genius, the only

glory; and how has he done it? Ask the
Vienna ladies-the high Areopagus in
this matter. Five times they made him
play it, but there are particularly two
parts in it, one in A fat and one in +,

A First Principle of Bridge, Baildins.


If one plank would hold up 1oospounds on
the center, then the two paulls placed
side by side would hold up 200 pounds, while,
placing the planks one on top Oh the-other,
and mailing them firmly together, ,they-would
hold up 400 pounds. In this wayne see that,
in order to increase the strength of the bridge
or beam faster than we increase'tEe'amount
of material, the increased amount 0-naterlal
should go into thedepth Of the beaIn.and not
into the width of it. This is one of the first
principles in the resistance of material, that
the strength oe q beam varies directly as the
width-that is, if we make the bean>twice as
wide, it will hold twice as nCchs and that
the strength varies as the square-of the depth
that is, if We make it twice as.deep, 1t VIII
hold up four times as much. II we1nake it
three times as deep, it will hold up nine times
es much of load. So that you can readily
understand that, in order to increase the
strength of the bridge or beam without in
creasing the material in the same proportion,
the increased amount of material should be
put into the depth and not into the width

The Claim Is Made That It VIII HI .
Man Point Blank at 500 Yards
An official army order gives all the de-
tails of the mechanism of the new maga-
zine rifle with which the army is to be
supplied. The weight with magazine
empty is nine pounds eight ounces, the
new sword bayonet fifteen and one-haf
ounces, the scabbard four and three
fourths ounces, the magazine when filled
with eight cartridges thirteen ounces.
The length of the rifle is four feet one
inch, and the sword bayonet one foot
four inches.
The magazine consists OF a sheet steel
box inserted from under the body in
front of the trigger guard through an
opening in the body. 1t is held in posi-
ton by a spring in the body engaging in
a notch on the magazine. 1t will con-
tain eight cartridges, and may be filled
when in position in the rife or when de-
tached, by inserting the cartridges one
by one. 4 spring at the bottom of the
magazine presses upward 4 movable
| platform, forcing the column OF cart
ridges also upward.
\ "cut off" is fitted to the right side Of
the body. which, when pressed inward,
stops the supply of cartridges from the
magazine, so that the arm may then be
used as single loader. When the ''cut

chamber, and so on Til the magazine is

By pressing small lever inside the trig-
! ser guard.
One magazine is attached to each rife,
being secured from loss by chain link.
A spare magazine is also issued with
each arm. The stock, like that of tbs
Martini Henry rifle, is IN two pieces, the
fore end and the butt. Under the kinder
part of the small OF the butt is projec-
ton forming a SO called pistol grip.
The butt is secured TO the body by 6

with trap, giving access TO the unoccu
pied portion of the stock bolt recess
