In the early part of May some plate
firing took place on board the English
man-of-war Nettle, which brings up the
subject of tho greatest Importance,
namely, the possibility of making armor
such as will break up the splendid forged
steel projectiles which have hitherto held
together almost without exception. The
results of the Nettle and other recent
tests go to show that plates are now made
with facesso hard as to defeat forged steel,
and that it appears possible that steel
faced armor in the future may dispose
of them in the manner that Schneider
admits such plates defeat Indifferent pro-
jectiles.-New York Telegram.

A Needle in tho Bone.

A dispatch from British Columbia SAWS
that Miss Kelly, of New Westminster,
imagined she broke her leg by sudden
movement of the limb. Doctors were
called in and could discover no break,
but decided to open an abscess which
had developed near the supposed break.
On an incision being made large sized
darning needle was found, the point of
which penetrated the bone. The needle
was removed and the young lady is rap
idly recovering. She has been lame
since childhood, and it is supposed the
needle entered her foot then and gradu-
ally worked up to where it was found

Getting Ready for the Flies.

The approach of fly time has sug-
gested an idea for cowtail holder. A
clamp like a clothes pin catches the
bushy end of the tail, and two cords
with a snap attachment fasten the tail
to the cows leg, to post or to the milk
ing stool.
The same day that the Nebraska man
got his patent for cowtail holder a
man in Maine got one also for tho same
end. The Maine mans tail holder is
made of single piece of wire coiled SO
as to connect the tail with the cows leg.

The alternating mosquito bar" is said
to be the name of the latest device for
foiling the attempts of the mosquito to
disturb ones sleep. 1t is simply fine,
flexible wire cloth or netting, which
drapes the bed like canopy. A small
electric lamp, fed with power from not
too strong battery from beneath the bed,
vitalizes the wires sufficiently to devital-
ize the 1,nwary bird of Jersey foolish
enough to connect with the netting in

Iudia's Railway Tunnel.

An article in The Allahabad Pioneer
gives some interesting particulars con-
cerning the tunnel that has just been
completed through the Khojak, OIL the
railroad from Quetta to Candahar. The
Khojak pass is $500 feet above the sea
and about 1900 feet above the level of
the surrounding country. The tunnel
pierces tho range at right angles, and it:
course is therefore due east and west,
and it enters the hill about 1000 feet be-
low the crest of the pass. The length of
the tunnel is 1900 feet, or two and a
half miles approximately, and it will
carry q double line of rails. For the first
half the floor ascends about in 1000,
and for the second half of the journey it
descends at an incline of in 40. There
are two main shafts, one 318 feet and
the other 900 feet deep, which were sunk
in order to facilitate the construction of
the tunnel.
The chief obstacle to progress arose
from the flooding of the tunnel at more
than one point. A large spring was cut,
and the water flooded the shaft ON the
Candahar side to the depth of 1S0 feet.
1t took ten weeks to pump out the water,
and in the western heading as much as
500 gallons a minute were constantly
rushing out of the west mouth. In order
to overcome this difficulty side cutting
had to be made. The magnitude of the
work is testified to by the banks of shale
and rock at the mouths of the tunnel
and at the pitheads, which are said to be
quite altering the landscape in places.
One curious discovery made during the
progress of the work, as the result of an
investigation into the cause of certain
mysterious explosions, was that it was
proved that combustion had arisen in.

A Buddhist Gatherinx.

The Buddhist congress attracts atten-
1aoM to this remarkable religion. The
congress is to have the Importance of the
great ecumenical council convoked by
Plus X twenty years ago. Buddhist
delegates are to come from all parts of
the world, and intense is the interest
manifested in Paris.
Five hundred million people on this
globe are Buddhists, and although
Buddhism in Europe is confined to great
minds, in France alone there are about
10000 Buddhists. It is not generally
known that Richard Wagner was a
fervent Buddhist. But the European
thinkers do not practice the doctrines of
Buddhism. That is why the young
Viennese student, Udo Halsmeyer, has
caused such CONSERVATION in the church.
He is ascetic, fasts, or eats only fruits
and vegetables, envelops himself i'll
hempen bag, and already treats with in
difference physical suffering. Continuing
in this manner he would soon be the in
carnation of Buddha, and the authori-
ties talk of expulsion from the university
for fear of his influence on the other
students.
The practice of Buddhism cultivates
sixth sense that in non-belicvers is al
ways latent. BY this sense one can fore
tell good or bad fortune, and the medi-
tation that calls out this sense is always
physical, psychological and physiologi-
cal. Physically the body must obey the
mind, psychologically all human organic
forces must be concentrated Oh the de-
velop;nent of this sixth sense, intuition,
and physiologically respiration must he
regulated to control the expenditure of
vital force. AS soon as this sixth sense
is acquired the Buddlists are capable of
knowing natures secrets and of produc-
ing phenomena that seem supernatural,
but are in reality the manifestation of
forces very natural, but not yet under
stood.-Paris Cor. New York World.
