Proposed Trans-Pacific Gable.

Rear-Admiral Belknap's survey OF
parts of the Pacific preparatory to the
laying of the proposed trans-Pacific
telegraph cable indicates that extraor-
binary difficulties will be encountered.
His "soundings," says the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal, show the ex-
istence of trough or basin of extra
ordinary depth and extent along the
east coast of Japan and the Kurile
Islands, and under the Kuro Slow, or
Japan or Black stream. The basin
exceeds any similar dedression yet
found in any other regions Of the
great oceans. In run of 80 miles
after leaving the coast of Japan the
waters deepened more than 1900
fathoms, and upon the next cast of the
lead the wire broke after 4643 fathoms
had been run out without bottom
having been reached. Thermometers
specially constructed for deep sea
soundings were wrecked by unprece-
denied pressures. The depth of the
deepest cast-54 miles, the deepest
yet found-is sufficient to hold two
mountains as high as Japan's great
Fusiyama, one on top of the other,
and then the summit of the highest
would be nearly two-thirds of a mile
under water.

The Weapon Which Decimated
BaImaceda's Armies.

Army and navy officers have been
watching closely the military features
of the instruction in Chill, and the
arms have been carefully examined
by the authorities in this country. 1t
appears that IL was the Mannlicher
gun, loaded with cartridges the size of
cigarettes charged with a first cousin
to gun cotton, and sending a ball
nearly two inches long and three
tcnths of an inch thick against Balma-
ceda's troops at the rate of 40 to 90
per minute from each gun, that did
the business for the insurgent troops.
The long, slender, hard-pointed bull
lets Were of steel, covered with q thin
coat of copper, the softer metal being
designed to follow the rifling Of the
barrel more accurately, and with less
wear 20 the gun than the naked steel
would make. Single bullets went
through two or three men at a time.
A member of the Ordinance Board
who has made an investigation says
"The Board has already tested the
Mannlicher magazine gun and has
found il very good weapon. That
and the Krag-Jorgensen, the inven-
ton of q Swedish and Danish officer,
are the best we have yet seen. The
Mannlicher seems TO have given a
pretty good account of itself at Vino
del Mar" he added, smiling grimly.
The s:nokeless powder is giving us
some trouble on account OF its varia-
ton. Two cartridges loaded with
exactly the same weight of the stuff
will often produce widely different
effects, one tending TO shatter or strain
the gun, and the other to give too lit
tie pressure TO insure the required in
itial velocity. The explosive is yet ih
its experimental stage, in that not
sufficiently exact knowledge is OBJ
tanned to give perfect small arm.
We are reducing the charge of explo-
sive. Tie first cartridges had SO
grains of the explosive to 2l5 grains
of projectile. Now we are making
theSa %ith 81 and s. grains The
smaller caibre of the magazine gun
makes small hole, but, as MercutiO
says: "TwiIl serve.' One of them
went through the frontal bone of an
OK, through the head and into the
body. So much of the Gelbite (the
powder used) scissoring off about two
inches by three, would send a bullet
through an elephant. We burned it
with match and it was consumed
with almost no smoke.
ave are not hurrying; we want to
get the most perfect aim before we
ask Congress for the money. Then
we think we will get it. 1t won't be
long before we shall be as well equip
ped as the best of them in Europe,
where they are doing a good deal of
very expensive experimental work.

can not be too careful about keeping

Frankincense and Myrrh.

Both are gum resins obtained from
trees. That from which frankincense
is derived grows chiefly in Arabia,
though it is also found in certain
parts of India and elsewhere. On the
coast Of Adel il is said to be found
sprouting from between marble rock,
without soil, appearing to spring from
a mass Of substance resembling a
mixture of lime and mortar. The
purer the marble the finer the growth
of the plant. Young trees furnish the
gum, to obtain which deep incision
is made in the trunk, milk-likc Juice
exuding. When it has had time TO
harden, the large, clear globules are
scraped off into baskets, and the infe-
rior quality that has run down the
bark is collected separately. Ancient
ly it was reported that the land which
produced frankincense was one of
fogs and darkness, where slaves, as a
punishment, were compelled to collect
the gum from trees infested by winged
serpents of various brilliant colors,
which could only be driven away by
smoke. These beliefs were probably
circulated by Arab spice producers to
avoid competition. Fifteen centuries
before Christ an Egyptian queen
named Hatasu made an expedition to
an Arabian coast of the Red Sea, and
brought back with her thirty-one in
cense trees. The gum was much en-
ployed of old in sacrifices, its use
arising primitively from the belief
that pleasant smells were agreeable to
gods in general. One thousand tai
ents' weight of frankincense was
brought every year to Darius as a
tribute. AS much as this was burnt
annually in Babylon on the great altar
to Bel. 1t was used by the Egyptians
in their religious rites, and was in
high repute for medicical purposes.
Sometimes blazing Jumps of it were
employed for illumination. In China
it has alwas been considered q remedy
for leprosy. Myrrh is the gum of a
tree that grows in southwestern Asia.
Until within the present century its
botanical source was in some degree a
mystery. The plant in question is
scrubby, not exceeding twelve feet in
height. 1t is from what is called the
Somali country that the product is
chiefly obtained, being sent to a great
annual fair at Berbera, where it is
brought up by agents of East India
merchants. Bombay and Alden are
the chief centres of the trade. At
these places il is sorted, the best quail
i.y being sent TO Europe and the
poorer kind 10 China. Once a year
the Queen of Great Britain, on the oc-
casion of the Feast of of the Epiphany,
makes an Offering of gold, frankincense
and myrrh at the Chapel Royal, Lon
don. This custom has been pursued
since the time of Edward |.

SENATOR STANFORD, of California,

to secure rain by air bombs, that
when the Central Pacific Railroad
was being built through the dry
and rainless district between the
Sierras and Ogden, the heavy blast
ing required in the passes was fire.
quently and daily followed by
heavy rains, which ceased when
the work was ended. Bradstreet,
very conservative and reliable
journal, says, August 30:
The rain-making experiments in Texas
this week have had successful results.
The last experiment at Midland is re-
ported to have been made on a clear
night, when the air was unusually dry,
when the barometer was at "fair," and
when the hygrometer indicated mean
between "dry" and every dry" Explo-
sIves were discharged for five hours, and
five hours after the bombardment ceased
rain fell for five hours, and after ceasing
fell again after fresh explosions. The
experimenters are well satisfied with the
result Of their efforts, and will continue
the experiments at Ell Paso. Opinion is
still divided upon the question whether
the relation of cause and effect existed
between the explosions and the rain,
but the coincidence is at any rate inter-
esting. More extensive and long-con-
tinued experiments will be necessary to
clear the matter of doubt.
