Snow Walls for Breastworks.

A short time ago experiments were
made in Russia, at the suggestion of
German engineer, as to the resisting
power of snow walls against artillery.
Two walls of snow were built up and
fired against at distance of 600 yards
by field artillery. The balls penetrat-
ed to distance of only Is feet into
the walls. Of course, in case of war,
the walls would not have to be built
so thick, as the artillery would natural
ly be at long range.
The Russians have also been recent
ly trying infantry firing at snow walls.
The men of the Eighty-frst Apscher-
on infantry regiment, under the
superintendent of Gen. Count Boref,
built a wall about 30 feet long, Is
feet thick and Az feet high. Behind
the wall were placed at equal intervals
four targets at each of which four vol.
legs were fired at distances of 800,
400, 200 and 100, steps.
The penetrating powers of the vol
leys were at 100 steps, 8 feet; at 200
steps, 5 feet 7 inches at 400 steps, A
feet inches at 800 steps, 4 feet.
This proves that in war operations
during winter snow could be used with
great advantage as shelter for troops.

Made Himself At Home.

For some time Senator Coke's life
at Washington was made bitter as
quinine by the visit of shiftless con-
stituent who was in search of a fat
berth under Uncle Sam. During the
senator's absence from his rooms in
his boarding house his devoted friend
would proceed to make himself at
home with brotherly familiarity, using
up the senator's paper and envelopes
and smoking his fine old Mexican
tobacco.
One day Coke, ON his return from
the capitol, found his beloved friend
in lordly possession of his quarters,
when the following conversation en-
sued:
"You'll excuse me, my FRIEND" OBJ
served Coke, "but l left this room
locked when l went off this morning,
and I'm curious to know how you
happened to get in here"
simplest thing in the world" re-
piled his genial guest. "Rang the
bell, told the girl was your psrticu-
lar friend, and asked her to open your
ROOM"
"Well," continued the big senator,
in massive tone of voice, that's
an unusual and supplementary pro-
ceeding. Will you please go down
stairs, ring the bell and send your
card up in the regular way? I like
to have these little points of etiquette
observed"

in his solemn, descriptive style, "and
