The energy of modern artillery is
somewhat appalling, and threatens to
destroy friend and foe together. A
67-ton gun on the British battle ship
Trafalgar was pointed directly ahead
and fired with $50 pounds of slow
burning powder and l. $50 pound
projectile. The blast produced by the
rush OF powder-gas and the shot was
so tremendous that the plates of the
forecastle were forced in and the deck
beams bent out of shape. A hint what
the effect might be on an enemy will
be given at the naval exhibition whore
will be shown a projectile that has
been fred from a l10-ton gun. This
remarkable shot is said to have been
driven in succession through a twenty
inch steel plate, eight inches of iron.

DIR. Adametz, Swiss scholar. has
been taking the census of the inhabi-
tants of cheese. The microscopic
examination of the ''gramm" of fresh
Ementhaler cheese, such as is sold in
England under the name of Gruyere,
contained no fewer than so, 900 So
called microbes. This prodigious en-
campment. after seventy days, proved
TO have increased to tribe of 600, 900.
Another sort of cheese contained with
in single ''gramm" board and lodg-
ing for about ., 000 900 microbes, and
in 'gramm" cut from the rind Of the
same cheese DR.. Adametz found about
8, 900, 900 of these inhabitants. A piece
of cheese upon our table of a few
pounds weight may consequently con.
tain more microbe inhabitants than
there are human beings in the whole
world.

Too Much kissing for Her.

A young woman who has recently
returned from abroad makes a curious
complaint of the treatment she re-
ceived in Berlin. Think of it!
1T was simply awful she ex-
claimed, when asked about it by a
Chicago Tribune man. ''When j ar
rived in Berlin I was dined by some of
my friends there. They wanted to
make things pleasant for me, l sup
pose, so they invited several officers in
the army to meet me. The Baron Won
Himmel took me in to dinner. Three
evenings after that he called, and
brought me such beautiful basket OF
flowers. In the midst of his call
mamma was summoned by some one
or other and we were left alone. I'm

not to be kissed-at least not upon sucl
short cquaintauce-and he resumed
his seat in time for mamma to find hin
there when she came back.

a ball and, during supper, | asked hin

The following story may not be true.
indeed, it probably is not; but we may
say that if it were true, it would teach
a lesson as well as excite a smile. We
ma the story in a New York paper.
When Jay Gould arrived in Boston a
few days ago, he was confronted by a
youngster with an unusually dirty face.

The millionaire bought paper, and
gave the boy a tive-cent piece, saying,

lust Like Some People.

A story comes from across the water
that a young lady in an English church
accidentally let her handkerchief fall
BY repeatedly STOPPING to reach it
furtively she attracted the notice of a
gentlemen in the pew behind, who
thought she was about TO faint. With
the best of motives, therefore, he took
her gently under the arms and raised
her up, greatly to her surprise. As
she tried to release herself another
gentleman went to his assistance. and
before the lady knew what was the
matter they were moving her out into
the aisle, and. indeed, carried her into
the vestibule before she could recover
from her establishment sufficiently to
find words for protest. The finale. Of
course, was ludicrous in the extreme.

KENNlBOY'S DREAM.

And piped his tuneful Law

The Grizzly Bear sat on tree,
And piped his tuneful lay,
The while the buzzing Bumble-Bee
Played tennis with the Jay.
The Zebra, sitting by the pump,
Was talking with the Moose
While twenty Kangaroos a. jump,
Played bull frog with the Goose
The Pollywog climbed up the vine
That grew upon the house;
And sliding down piece of twine
Was one brown little Mouse.
The Fox tossed up big BASEBALL;
The Lion at the bat,
Just whacked it DER the red brick wall
And struck the Pussy Cat.
AT this the Rats and Dogs did grin;
The Kittens in the soup
Began to cry, and mid the din
Small Kenniboy walked up.

Mu.innIGa. MACHINE,

The musical gas machine called the
pyrophone, seems to have attracted
much attention abroad. Its compass
is three octaves, and it has a keyboard,
being played in the same manner as
an organ. There are thirty-seven
glass tubes, in which like set of gas
jets burn, and these jets, placed in a
circle, contract and expand. When
the small burners separate the sound
is produced; when they close together
the sound ceases. The tone depends
on the number OF burners and the size
OF the tubes in which they bnrn; SO
that by careful arrangement and Sc
lection all the notes of the musical
scale may be produced in several &C.
taves. Some of the glass tubes in
which the jets burn are nearly eleven
feet long.
