A BANANA w1LLsPEEL ITSELF.
That Is II You Utilize the Pressure OF the
Air In the Right Way.

That Is II You Utilize the Pressure Of the
Air In the Right Way.
st. Louis Post-Dispatch.l
A neat table trick is to make an egg force
its way into an ordinary wine carafe, such
as is found on all well-regulated dinner
tables. The other accessories are some
paper and medium hard boiled egg with
the shell taken off. Drop the paper lighted
into wine bottle and get the interior well
heated. This expands the air within and
forces part of it out. While the interior is
still hot stand the egg up on end in the
neck of the bottle and let it rest there. As
the bottle cools off the egg will begin to
force its way in until it finally drops.
Another trick which works on the same
principle is to make banana peel itself.
To do this all that is wanted is "a wine
bottle, ripe banana, and bit of paper
wet with alcohol. Light the paper and
drop it into the bottle. Have one end of
the banana partly peeled, so that the ends
of the skin will catch on the rim of the
bottle. When the air in the bottle is well
heated set the banana on end on top and
let it do the rest itself, as the air on the
inside cools off and contracts the outside
pressure, pushing the banana down into the
bottle until it has pulled itself out of its
skin.

THE HUMANE BULLET.
Better to Be Drilled Through by One
Shaped Like a Lead-Pencil
THAN SHATTERED BY THE SLUG.
DR.. Brown-sequard's Simple Remedy for
Coughing end Sneezing.
GUN CAMPHOR FOB THE MOSQUITO
WRITTEN FoR THE pIsPArCH.1

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcH.J
There is quite differepce of opinion sbout
the humanity Of the new style of bullets for
military purposes, which are claimed by the
German surgeons to be the most humane
missiles yet employed in war. The new pro-
jectile, which is made to be fired from a rife
of small calber, is long, so that its weight
of section" as it is termed by soldiers, is
large, while its actual weight may be smaller
than that Of bullets of the old shape. By
combining great weight of section with
small diameter, great velocity is given to
the projectile, as well as such penetrating
force that it will easily go through two or
three men at the distance of mile.
NJ. Delahaye, who is calling into question
the mercifulness Of the new bullet, regards
the process of being drilled through by q
bullet shaped like q lead pencil not much
more humane than that of being shattered
by an old-fashioned "slug;' but the Ger
mans say that the new projectile will not re-
main in the wound, but will make straight
perforation through the body, greatly sim
plifying the surgical treatment. There is no
doubt that the camp undertaken will in fut-
ure have more to do after battle, and the
surgeon less than under the old re gime but
as a soldier breads long suffering from
wound as much as death the balance of "hu-
manity" may, after ALL be on the right side.
As lead bullets Of the modern shape would
be likely to bend, they are cased with steel
of nickel tubes, which gives them the prop
erty of penetrating the hardest bone withous
deViating from their course.

RED-TAPE OF THE Law.

A squabble In England A. to Whether
Typewriter Copy l. Written.
New York Tribune.l
An elderly clerk in a Justices Court IN
Yorkshire has been writing for advice to an
English law journal He has held office
for S5 years, and whatever may have been
his early facility with the pen, he now
finds his handwriting criticised. One Judge
spoke to him on the matter, and, as he in
nocently remarks: 'It remains matter of
opinion between us, whether the writing Of
the deposition in question was or was not
easily legible. thought it was. His
Lordship was of q contrary opinion"
Being, however, as he says, "wishful to
remove any possible doubt on the subject"
the clerk bought typewriter, and after no
little difficulty, mastered the intricacies of
the machine. The next depositions he sent
off were neatly prepared in typewriting,
but unfortunately the clerk of the higher
court returned them with the statement
that the depositions must be In writing.
The clerk then asked the law paper for
advice, and is comforted with the answer
that under some recent English law 1t Is
probable that typewriting may be included
In the general term writing" There Is
thus chance that the clerk may retain his
position and their lordships be no further
troubled with illegible manuscript.

A Boon to Travellers.

Anything that will reduce the rattle and
vibration of the ordinary railway car is q
boon to the travelling man. A new sppli-
ance, which Is said to possess this qualidca-
ton In a marked degree, is the cushion car
of being simple, safe, economical and noise
less. The wheel is composed of two parts,
the center and the tire, while between the
two is q thick rubber band which acts as a
cushion to absorb all the vibrations. The
tire is so made that it may be removed with
out taking the wheel from the axle. The
rubber is so placed between the center and
hot box or from the corrosive action of the
lubricants. The rubber will run 20, 900 miles
without showing the slightest signs of wear.
and in q similar distance the wear of the
tire is but one-thirty-second Of an inch,
which Is less than one-hah the usual wear
forthfs amount Of travel.

An improved Buoy.

A now buoy consists of an annular copper
tank, with a hole in the center, across which
is hung a life chain, upon which person
can either sit or support himself with ease,
while grasping the buoy. This tank is
divided into numerous water-tight compart-
ments to minimize the possibility of injury.
At the side are arranged two hollow rods,
working upon a swivel joint, the bottom or
heavier portion of these rods being equipped
with cans for the reception of phosphide of
calcium. When the buoy is hung at the
ships side the upper ends of these hollow
rods are closed by stoDpels, which answer
the double purpose of steadying the buoy
while hung for use and also for preventing
the entrance of rain, ETC.. from above into
the can at the lower end. When the buoy is
cast adrift the heavy ends of the rods swing
under the water like pendulums, immersing
the cans containing the phosphide OF cal
cium, which is Immediately ignited by the
entrance of the water through the perfora-
ttons for that purpose at the bottom. In the
daytime discharge of smoke issues from
the upper ends of the hollow rods, while at
night this smoke becomes q luminous flame
that can be seen for several miles. 1t will
sustain three persons. In a late test of the
buoy man jumped overheard when the
ship was going ahead at full speed The
ship was stopped, the buoy was dropped and
the life boat lowered, and in three minutes
the man, who had reached the buoy, was
picked up and brought on board.

TEA As A TEST FOR POISON.
The Delightful Beverage Serves 10 Dstsct
AduIteration Of Syrup.

The Delightful Beverage Serves 10 Dssect
Adulteration of Syrup.
New Torf Times.l
'aTea," says woman who knows, ''clear
tea, without sugar or cream, is one Of the
best of agents for the detection of suspected
poison. remember stopping once, in my
travels, at little country inn whose buxom
landlady offered me some beautiful-looking
wafies, beside which she sat down small
pitcher of syrup. There was talk at that
time-it was several years ago-about the
adulteration of some syrups, and this par
ticular pitcherful had peculiar color which
/ did not like. So asked that cup of tea
be brought to me first, and when it came L
took teaspoonful of the syrup and put
it in.
Instantly the tea turned perfectly black,
showing the presence of a mineral poison. I
don't know that there would have been
enough to have done me serious harm, but
as don't care to take poison even homeo-
pathically, when know it, I ate my waffies
that day with butter and sugar More than
that, I called the landlady' attention to the
circumstance, which resulted in banishing
all of that syrup she had in the house"

A Hint for Campers-

a correspondent would like to make known
the way in which he once secured lasting
peace from the arch enemy Of tho camper,
the mosquito. He found among his stores
piece of gum camphor. Taking piece abous
the size of a walnut, he placed 1t on tin
plate and set fire to 1t. It burned as readily
as pitch with clear, bright flame, and ap-
psrently no smoke, but it acted like
charm. In two minutes the hated "ping" Of
the mosquitoes had ceased, and in five
minutes not one of the tormentors re-
manned within the walls of the tent. 1t may
however, be well to state, that while the
fumes of gum camphor are distasteful TO the
mosquito, they are not particularly beneh-
cial to human beings.

in question are Madame GdmhreoM
founded upon? According to the portrait,
which is copy of picture by Courtois,
which is attracting much attention in this
years Salon, there are many defects in the
face. The nose is large, as is also the chin,
the latter projecting forward to an alarming
rate, while the eyes are much too small. It
is said the faults noted above are admitted
by the lady's admirers, but it is claimed
nificent figure and a complexion Of the
most marvellous tints imaginable. To be
sure this last method is somewhat different
from the old way of defining beauty, but if
the Parisians are satisfied certainly we
ought to be.
Thus is new field opened to some of our
girls No longer need they bewail the
irregularity of their features. Let them
have beaks like unto parrots, chins like
"Punchs" and eyes like black beans stuck
in dumpling-they are all right They
are little short of the requisites, but these
can easily be made up, particularly if
proper and energetic coach is secured to
''boom" their charms.
SOME CURIOUS wAGERs.
The Austrian who wagered his life on the
accomplishment of al object and lost no
doubt established a precedent, but it is
hardly likely he will have many emulators.
The circumstance recalls other curious
wagers of which record has been made. One
of the oldest was that between Queen Eliz-
beth of England and Sir Walter Raleigh
on how much smoke was contained in a
pound of tobacco. Another unique idea
was that of man named Corbet who bet
that his leg was the handsomest in the En-
glish kingdom. Pictures are still preserved
in the family representing the process of de-
termination. Lord Spencer once cutoff
his coat tails, and wagered that the mutt
lated style would become the fashion. He
won. A gentleman wagered that he could
stand on London bridge whole day with a
trayful of new sovereigns and be unable to
dispose of them at a penny piece. He was
victorious, not single one being purchased,
An Alabama man wagered that he could
swim across the river with two small fishes
in his mouth. One escaped and the other
went down his throat and choked him so
that he drowned. Three men in Indiana
made bet that they could walk a half mile
through the snow barefooted, the one who
was injured most to buy pound of tobacco
for the one who suffered least. They all
three had to have their toes amputated.
