WHEN JIM WAS E A

When Jim was dead.

But suddenly the room growed still.
While Gods white sunshine seemed ter

HOW A BULLET TRAVELS.
1t Has Three and Sometimes Four
Different Motions.

Howard Carr, an authority on Shooting
and a gentleman we'll informed on all
matters of detail pertaining to the
bulFs-eye. gave a San Francisco Exam
iner reporter some interesting informa-
ton on the queer actions of a bulle
after being discharged from the muZzle
of a gun.
"A bullet" he declared, ''sighted for
LOCO yards has three separate and dis
tinct motions, and in cases where the
stubby and blunt express lead is used it
has four. The first is its velocity or
straight motion of journey; the second
IS the rotary motion, caused by the bore
of the gun. which makes it pillow through
the air: and the third is the trajectory
motion, or drift, attributable to the at
traction of gravity, which forces the
bullet sideways. When the express
bullet is used it follows a line similar to
the edge of a corkscrew. The latter is
a%scribabie to the extra friction on the
bottom OF the ball, which is constantly
lowering.
II had this illustrated by placing
sheets OF paper forty yards apart on a
level, and the course of the bullet could
be seen by collecting the papers and
laying them one over the other.
"A ball has q large drop when trav-
cling any great distance. For instance,
take 1000 yards. The bullet. if keeping
the course it originally started out to
follow, would land a distance of over
255 feet above the bull's-eye. But it
starts to drop Immediately after leaving
the muZZle of the gun, and at between
$50 and $40 yards the ball is only sixty
feet above the line of the buli's-eye, and
a considerable distance below the line
OF sight. At 200 yards it has decreased
III proportion. and the aim is only forty
inches above the bull's-eve, but at 500
yards it Is over sixteen feet.
1t takes about three seconds for a
ball to travel 1000 yards with an ordI-
nary charge of powder behind it. The
first second it travels 1850 feet. In
the next second it travels only three
quarters of that distance, and i'm tue
third second it travels only one-half as
much as it did when leaving the muZzle.
Il made the claim here a short time
ago that a ball made more revolutions
that is, its rotary motion increased in
proportion to the distance it travelled
as it approached the target-than it did
i'll the 100 yards Immediately after leav-
ing the muZZle. and l will explain. The
friction of the atmosphere does not
lessen the rotary motion as fast in pro-
portion to the distance it has travelled
as it does its flight through the atmoS-
phere; consequently, while in the last
100 yards the ball is only travelling at a
rate just one.half of its original speed.
the rotary motion is just as great, and,
having more time, makes more reyolu-

THE USE OF SUCCIs-

SUCCI. the man of the fasting role,
had his effort nicely timed so as to get
to the end long enough before Christ
mas to fully enjoy all the satisfaction
to be had i'll a gorge of palatable things
to eat. He no doubt compensated for
much of his long abstinence yesterday.
His first meal was taken on Sunday.
1t is claimed that he actually accom-
plished the feat Of living through a fast
of forty-five days and nights. absolutely
taking no S~usterance whatever. The
only things that entered the stomach
were water and a preparation called
SUCCI's elixir. that contained no nour-
ishment. There is no more doubt of
the facts I'm his case apparently than in
that of TANNER in his forty
days fast. 1t is conceded that
he broke the record by nearly
five days. He is an expert at
the business, having made a dozen
trials. In n in London last year he
tasted forty days and three hours, beat
ing TANNER. Some are so ill-natured
as to say that no useful end IS accom-
plished by such strains upon nature,
and that had his life waited out i'm the
period no loss to the human family
would have ensued. Medical scien fists
watched him closely, but made small
additions to their knowledge Of the sys-
TEN. He lost in weight a trife less
than a pound per day, and the fatty
portions went first. Still, there is no
room for argument over the resolution
that he is a fool. As we'll might that
be said of most professional freaks.
They are no more fools than those who
flock to see them. SUcCI has qualified
himself for big pay in a museum. 1t
is said that he is already filling
al engagement in Boston at 81, 500
per week. 1t is a queer sorto curiosity
that makes it possible to pay him such
a sum, but it is nearly as prevalent as
people. Many a man would give up
most of mis- anatomy, and take great
chances for his head, to be able to make
the SUCCI wages. There is nothing in
his feat to enable others to live at less
expense. T~heologianS, however, find
some use for his example. They use it
to confirm the Bible records where it is
stated that MOSES spent forty days in
the mountain on two occasions, and al
legged that he did not have a bite.
ELIJAH made forty even DAYS and
nights, with 10 board bill accruing. and
CHRIST in His temptation tasted forty
days and nights. 1t is assumed that
SUCcI has relieved these statements
from any occasion to doubt their COM
plete li%teralness. But the demand for
such freaks as the museum man will
not be large.
