Smokeless Powder is Powerful.

The Wetteren smokeless powder from
Belgium has just been tested at the
Springfield (Mass.) armory. Preliminary
tests showed velocity of nearly 1900
feet, with an initial pressure of $4,000
pounds, the charge, according to the ca
pacity of the new rife, being but thirty
six grains. The shell now in use in the
United States army rifles permits of a
charge of fifty-tve grains of ordinary
powder. Its highest velocity is 400
feet, with pressure of but $4,000
pounds. The increase of velocity OBJ.

Some Strange Fires.

On the night of March 81, 1875, ,abort
three hours after sunset, monster
bright light arose out of the Adriatc
Sea and passed from east northeast TO
the west of southwest, crossing over
Italy in a vertical line about halfway
between Rimini and Leghorn. Various
estimates as to the height and size of the
body were made. One scientist, with
amusing exactness, declares that it was
thirty eight miles high at Calmers. At
all places near its course Kissing noise
like that of a sky-rocket was plainly
heard. At Leghorn the sound is said to
have been "like that Of large cannon
quickly dying away until it sounded
much like cart running over cobble-
stones" Estimates of its size seem to
have been as wild as those respecting its
height. Some accounts say it was as
"large as house," lie Cat says that ''it
was a good half mile in circumference. I"
Bohn, who has written a very readable
account of "the great meteor or strange
fire of March 81, MDCLXXVI., >" esti-
mates that it was "about one half mile
by the smaller diameter" which would
surely make it terrifying object to be-
hold.
On Thursday, March 10, 1919, there
appeared at London, about eighth
o'clock at night, ''sudden great light
moving after the manner but more slow
ly than a falling star. 1t started from
point below Orion's Belt, then lying in
the southwest, and went upwards in q.
stead of downwards like a falling star.
Its size, according to the testimony of
numerous observers in Spain, France,
Ireland, Holland and some parts of Ger
many, as well as those who saw it in
London and all over England, was about
that of the full moon. 1t was of whit
ish color with an eye in the centre as
blue as the most azure portion of June
sky after thunderstorm. 1t went
straight upwards in its course until out
of sight, leaving track of fiery red
sparks in its wake.
A fire of strange nature appeared in
Wales in 1893. According to the most
Ineligible account concerning it now in
existence, it came up from the sea near
Harlech. At several places near that
place and all over Merionethshire it did
much damage, burning hay, houses,
barns, etc. A person writing of it said ::
1.-THE grass over which it moves kills all
manner of cattle that feed upon it. But
what is most remarkable is that any
great noise, such as the beating of a
drum or sounding horn, effectually re-
pels 1T from any house. ."-St. Louis Re-

A ome.Made Menther nInss.

Two articles only are required to con-
struct this simple weather prophet. First
a clean oil flask (such as olive oil comes
in), and secondly wide-mouthed fruit
jar. Fill the jar to within two or three
inches of the brim with soft water.
Place the neck of the oil flask within the
fruit jar. In fair weather the water in
the neck of the flask will remain about
half an inch above the bowl, but in
stormy weather the water will rise grad
ually in the neck, and rain or snow may
then be looked for. If the atmosphere
be very heavy it will rise at times to the
height of two or three inches in a few
hours. The water needs no changing,
nor does it matter if the weather glass be
kept out of doors or in, save that in
freezing weather, of course, the glass
would break. Detroit Bree Press.

A Miniature Oil Farm.

In their spare hours during the past
year DR.. G. j. Reynolds and Peter
Gruber, of Oil City, have been at work
upon unique exhibit on which they are
now putting the finishing touches and
which they will duplicate for the Worlds
Fair. 1t is u miniature oil farm, COM
plete in all the details on the scale of an
inch to every five feet. The farm shows
one Of the typical hillside leases to be
seen along Oil Creek near Oil City. 1t
IS about six by twelve feet in dimensions.
Around it is Il railroad which has thirty
feet of track two inches wide, upon
which an OIL train makes Il circuit every
two minutes. This train is made up of
tank cars, cars loaded with oil barrels
and the tub cars in which the crude oil
is shipped. The train stops at a station,
out OF which the agent comes automati.

On the farm are seen four pumping
wells, cne drilling well, one gas well
and one derrick in process of erection.
Beside a gully, in which is a little stream
OF water from a spring near the top of a
hill Is an exact counterpart of the der
rick and engine-house OF the Colonel
Drake well, which can be readily recog-
nlzed. OF the pumping wells one is
pumped direct and the others are con-
nected by the suction rods and attach
ments now in use. They are all pumped
together. The dcrricks are fourteen
inches high. On aud around the unfu-
ished one rig builders are seen at work.
The drilling well is situated near the en-
trance to a tunnel and the bank is cut in
so as to show the operation of the tools.
1t is designed that the part thus cut away
shall be 50 colored as to show the earth,
sand aud rock formations encountered in

"Embracery" is new term in English
jurisprudence. The apprehensions of
him who is arrested upon charge of it
would probably take the direction of the
divorce court. In the matter, however,
he would be in error; the charge is really
one of corrupting a jury. 1t is a very
rare offense, yet, from what appears from
recent case, where a gentleman got
fined $500 for it, very easy to commit.

remark that the prisoner whose conduct
is under his consideration sis good fell

jury by fattery or other arts is in a
learned counsel only cajolery; but in a
layman it is "embracery"-a much more
advanced stage of ingratiatiou.

Swimming TO Church.

A girl named Nyangandi, who lived
near the Ogowe River, West Africa, one
Saturday came in her canoe with two
bunches of plantains to sell to the mis-
sionary. When she was going away Mrs.
Bachelor, the missioRary's wife, said to
her: "Now, you must not forget that
tomorrow will be the Sabbath day, and
you have aheadY promised to come every

surely come if anu alive" And so she
did, but no one knew how she got there,
until, at the close of the service, she told
the girls that in the night her canoe had
been stolen, and none of her friends
would lend her one; but she had prom
ised to come to church, and so she felt
she must. She swan all the way. The
current was swift, the water deep, aud
the river fully third of a mile wide;
but by swimming diagonally she sue

Hats and Heads.

1t has been noticed by Henry Heath,
who sends hats all over the world from
Calcutta to Peru, that different nationali-
ties possess heads of distinctive sizes and
shapes. For instance, Germans have
very round heads, popularity shared
by our own royal family. The average
English head is what hatters call a good
shape-that is, rather long. The Scotch,
one is not surprised to learn, are very
long headed. Canadians are distinguished
by exceptionally large heads, South
Americans by very small ones. Austral-
ians, again, have rather small heads.
The subject is an interesting one and
worth pursuing further if space allowed.
The heads of individuals also vary a good
deal from time to time, shrinking during
illness or mental worry, and generally
becoming smaller with advancing years.
As to shape, there is such a thing as
fashion, but it only affects mashers; men
stick to much the same shape year after
year. Mall Gazette.

The statute upon the subject of cruelty
to animals, is pretty rigid in Pennsyl-
vania. 1t makes it misdemeanor for
any person to "wantonly or cruelty i'll
treat, overload, beat or otherwise abuse
any animal" Recently there occurred a
pigeon-shooting match by the members
of a gun club, and one of the members
wounded, without at the same time kill
ing, pigeon. When this was discov-
cred the bird was at once killed. Some
humane person thought that the law had
been violated, and that its penalty should
be invoked, so its machinery was set in
motion and a trial was held, and the &C
cused was found guilty of cruelty The
cruelty consisted Sin wounding instead
of instantly killing" the pigeon. The
case was taken to the Supreme Court of
tate, which, observes the Mail AID
Express, happily took the broader view
that birds are "placed here by the AL
mighty for the use of man, aud that il
was an unavoidable incident, to which
this statute did not apply.

Barnum's "Brick Man"

As an illustration of one Of Barnum's
ingenious methods of attracting atten-
tion to his museum may be mentioned
the incident of the "brick man." One
day man applied for aims to Barnum,
who was sitting in the ticket office. To
the inquiry as to why he did not go to
work, the mendicant replied that he
would gladly do so at a dollar day, if
he could find employment. Barnum gave
him twenty-five cents to get his break
fast, and told him to return and he
would give him a dollar and half a
day and easy work. When the man re-
turned, Barnum gave him five bricks,
and told him to place one in front of the
museum, another on the corner of Vesey
street, third at the corner of Fulton
on the St. Paul's Church side-and the
fourth on the east corner of Fulton. Re-
turning then to the museum, he was to
take up the first brick and replace it
with the fifth, and then continue his
rounds, putting down one brick and
taking up the other each time. He was
enjoined to answer no questions, and to
seem not to hear, and that at the end of
each three quarters of an hour he was
to pass into the museum, look around at
curiosities for fifteen minutes, and then
resume his rounds with the brick. Bar
mum says that the man played his part to
perfection, and his eccentric conduct
caused great crowd to gather about
the museum. Many of these, of course,
went into the museum to seek some ex-
planation as to the purpose of the
"brick man." This was kept up for
several days, until the police requested
his withdrawal, because such crowds
fingered about the museum that traffic
was interrupted. d.-Harper's Weekly.

Says the Washington Star: "The
phenomenal growth of the American city
population is a subject for both wonder
and alarm. Its percentage cannot grow
without corresponding decrease in the
percentage of rural population. And
this fact is fraught with economical aud
social dangers. Consider what these
must be in a very few decades when we
know that the urban increase has been
during the last ten decades from three
per cent. of the whole population to
slightly less than thirty per cent. in
1850. And this is so far as city popula-
ton proper is concerned, or the popula-
tion of towns having population Of
eight thousand or more. The rural popu.
lation in its strictest limitation-that is
on the farms and in the country stores
and workshops or in hamlets of less than
two hundred souls-would show that the

ernment of these cities combine to raise

now confront American statesmen.
