PERFORMING CATS.

A Wonderful Performance Given by
Feline Acrobsts and Clowns.
Those persons who believe cats to be
incapable of profting by education
would change their opinion if they
could see the exhibition of performing
cats in Paris. France. The skill and
docility of the little animals are truly
wonderful, and would even in dogs be
considered proof of great intelligence.
The cats are concealed in two small
wooden houses or kennels, which stand
opposite each other, with row of fifty
chairs between them. The performance
begins by the trainer tapping on the
roof of one of the houses Immediately
a cat comes out of the door, and, after
being stroked and patted by it's master,
leaps to the top of the first chair and
then goes lightly and gracefully from
one chair to the next, stepping only on
the backs, until it reaches the other
house, into which it retires. Each cat
does this in turn, and then two cats
cross the chair-bridgo in opposite direc-
tions one going over the tops as before
and the other passing along the hori-
zontal bar just below.
Long wooden planks are then laid
over the chair-backs, and number of
wine-bottles placed in row at short
intervals, and the cats wind swiftly
in and out between the bottles without
missing one or knocking one over. A still
greater difficulty is presented by a
small. wooden disk being put on the
top of each bottle and cat stepping from
one to another, while other cats follow
the serpentine walk among the bottles
below. Chairs and planks are then
removed and a number of trestles set up
between the two houses. The cats leap
from one trestle to another with the
precision and agility of a circus-rider.
A large wire hoop, wrapped in tow
which had been soaked in alcohol, is
held up and set on fire. but the process
sion of pussies, nothing daunted, leap
through the flames obediently. Tight
rope dancing is the next performance,
and number of live, white rats placed
on the rope receive no attention what
ever from the cats.-Farm and Fireside.

wooD-PULP FOR PAPER.
The Processes Employed in a Famous
French Mill.

The Processes Employed in q Famous
French Mill.
The manufacture of wood pulp. by
Ekman's process for paper-making is
carried on at Bonne-Nouvelle, in Dieppe.
The pulp is sold to paper-mills in
France, and mostly used, together with
rags, for the manufacture of various
kinds of paper.
1t is said that this pulp not only pro-
duces good printing-paper, but also
high class of writing-paper, and other
superior kinds of paper can be manu-
factured from it without the addition of
rags The wood from which it is made
is the usual white wood from Sweden
and Norway, or Finland.
Tho first operation is to remove the
bark and clean the outside of the wood,
which is done by women, who have been
found more suitable for this work than
men. Afterward, the round logs are cut
into fat pieces Of about two and one
half inches in thickness. The knots are
now as far as possible bored ont by ma
chinery, but any that remain are cut
out by hand. Great attention is paid to
Cleaning IH0 WcOu III OfO6f TO OBTAIN q
pulp clean enough for good kinds of
paper.
The cleaned wood is fed into cutting
machine. which rapidly cuts it up into
pieces about one-half an inch in
length. A band carries the cut wood to
the top of the boiling-house. The boilers
are of iron, covered on the inside with
lead to protect the iron from the action
of the sulphurous acids used. The
boilers are filled with wood through an
opening of the top, and then liquid,
containing bisulphate of magnesia, is
poured in to cover the wood. The boiler
is then closed with cover, and boiling
is now done with steam, the time vary
ing from ten to twelve hours. When the
boiling process is finished the steam is
blown of, and the pulp forced out
through valve at the bottom OF ths
boiler into tank with perforated bot

days ago the water being turned on full

to go round. The saws all stopped, and
the sawyer went to see what the trouble
was. Ee saw a sight that staggered
him. Every bucket of the wheel, and
wherever there was space between the
paddles, was iammed full to overfowing
with writhing mass of eels. The fish
had come down the stream in such num-
bers that they choked the passage.
They were packed in the wheel so COM
pactlY that they had to be chopped out
with axes from the buckets. Nine hum
dred eels were removed from the wheel
before operation at the mill could be re-
sumed. This is the third time in the
history of this mill that it has been
shut down by eels in the same way

which gives an open, well spread pat-
tern OF shot at thirty yard range. The
choke" is placed in what is called the
attachable muzzle," which consists,
literally, of piece of barrel, two inches
long, to be firmly fixed to the cylinder
barrel by screws thereby, increasing the
range of the gun to sixty or seventy
yards
In this connection it may be as we'll
70 mention that l have recently seen
choke defined by one or two daily
papers in answer to correspondents. as
"a constructing of the muzzIe of gum
this IS right as far as it goes, but there
IS such thing as recess choke" :"
which isexactly the opposite of con-
strlct1on, and to many minds is the
more preferable ''choke" of the two, as
there is no danger of a wad iambinr
in the barrel. A good thing to know
IS how to tell when a gun is choked,
and to what extent. To do this with a
breech-loadihg gun lower the barrels,
place the breech to the eyes and raise
the muzzle until the light shines full
into them; then slowly lower the muz-
zle, and watch the way the shadow steals
into the barrel
If it enters and progresses down both
! sides with even side lines, the gun is a
cylinder. The curve in the side lines will
give the amount of choke, . either 're-
cess" or otherwise. With a muzzle
loader it needs an expert; he tells by
the pattern at certain ranges. and by
the feel of the wad as it is pushed down
the barrel Another imported article
which is worth attention is the Kynoch
brass she'll We have had brass shells
galore and have got heartily tired of
them with their stiff edges and cease
less clang in the pocket when emptied,
and we did not think the increased rapid
ity OF shooting worth the much advanced
cost The Kynoch shell, however, is a
very different affair. 1t is thin, light
shell of malleable brass, which when
loaded in the usual way, is erimped into
point, holding the wads over the shot
secure. These are the same price as
good paper cartridges, and SO may be
thrown away.
If desired they can be reloaded to
almost any extent. have one that has

times, and is in good order yet. Regu-
larity of shooting is not all that is to be
gained by their use; owing to their be-
ing so much thinner thaa paper, they
occupy less room in the chamber of the
breech, accommodate larger charge,

bore gun the shot pattern and execution
of teu-bore, no mean advantage, as
any sportsman we'll knows. The most
valuable invention, however, is what is
called shooting corrector. Every one
knows that the proper way to shoot is to
shoot with both eyes wide open; but
how few of the older shots, not to men,
tion the inexperienced sportsmen, have
trained themselves to accomplish this
feat. And yet It's very easy. To dem
onstrate it, stick up a p ece of dark
paper on a wall, gaze at it with both
yves, pull up your gun to the shoulder,
then squint with the right eye along
the barrels, and you will find the muz-
zles cover the mark.
Try this on a moving bird, and, if
your nerve is firm, and you do not press
the trigger just tCo soon or just too
late, you will hit it. But the average
mans nerve is not firm just then, he
wants to squint and make sure-he
hesitates and is lost The shooting
corrector remedies all this, without
your knowing it. That is where it's
value comes in. 1t is a small disc of
rubber, the size of a Nickel fitted on
small metal arm an inch or so long,
which screws into small hole made in
the lock-plate of your gun, on the left
hand side. Put the gun up, and shoot,
and you will find you never saw the
corrector. BUTT got in its fine work
just the same. In this way the right,
eye should govern the aim, but the left
eye, being defective in about seventy per
cent. of men. defects it more or less.
Put the gun to your shoulder again,
point the muzzle at mark, close the
right eye and you find the corrector,
small as it is, completely blocks the
sight of the left eye, and compels the
aim to be correct
This is the first important point, but
there are others. Taking the case of a
bird rising ON the wing, like duck, it
is necessary to shoot foot or so above
it. If one eye is closed, the sight of the
bird by the other eye is blocked by tie
barrels, and he can not tell if he aims one
foot or sic Adore it. The corrector renders
the vision clear all round, and the dis
tance can be gauged to an inch, and
still the sight of the left eye is blocked
as regards the muzzle. To render this
more plain, take an old stove-pipe hat
and push the muzzle of a small rifle
about an inch through the center of the
crown. Close the left eye and try to hit

gun fitted with movable breech- -piecc
which contains the cartridge chamb bers,
and which slides into place on very
ingenious method. The idea is to have
four breeeh pieces and have man to
load them and hand them quick, as
wanted. The breech can be adjusted
without dropping tho barrels. A Gu
ricus invention in large punt guns for
wlld-fowl shooting is by Sir Ralph
Payne-Gallway, the Irish authority on
guns. 1t is in closing the breech. In
stead of opening in the usual manner,
two caps, one for each barrel, unscrew
to receive the cartridges and are
then screwed into the barrel cham bers
to be fired The only objection to this
is the probability of feathers, ETC., get
ting in the grooves of tho screw and
clogging them just when least wanted.

A Case OF GIobular lightning.

The Caucasus papers relate an inter
esting case Of globulat lightning which
was witnessed by party of geodesists
on the summit of the Bohul Mountain,
IL, 900 feet above the sea. About three D.
M, dense clouds of dark-violet color
began to rise from the gorges beneath.
At eight p. m. there was rain, which was
soon followed by hail and lightning. An
extremely brightviolet ball. surrounded
with rays, which were, the party says,
about two yards long, struck the top Of
the peak. A second and third followed,
and the whole summit of the peak was
soon covered with an electric light
which lasted no less than four hours.
The party, with one exception, crawled
down the slope of the hill to better
sheltered place, situated few yards
beneath. The one who remained was
Mr.. Tatosoff. He was considered dead,
but proved to have been only injured
by the first stroke of lightning, which
had pierced his sheepskin coat and
shirt, and burned the skin on his chest,
sides and back. At midnight the second
camp was struck by globular lightning
of the same character, and two persons
slightly felt its effects.-N. Y. Ledger.

adsrstand that by varying the num-
her and position of the wads in a
cartridge, they can cause the shot to

The PrIce OF Nila Beasts.

In the European market even wild
beasts have their price. The chief
center of the wild beast trade (says a
continental contemporary is Hamburg,
where the price list is as follows: Lions
and tigers average 1900 francs apiece,
leopards 45O francs, spotted panthers
600 francs, while black panthers range
from $500 francs to 8, $50 francs. For
spotted tigers the large sum of 5000
francs is paid. The market value of
rhinoceros varies from $3.50 francs to
23, 900 francs, African elephants average
1850 francs, Indian elephants 5000
francs. The price of monkeys ranges
from 20 francs for small monkey to
s,500 francs for ohimpanzees and ogang-
outangs. Foreign EXCHANGE
