Aiming Cavalry Horses

Captain w. F. Peel, of the British
Army, has invented and tested a contri-
vance tor adding to the fighting strength
of the cavalry. The invention consists
of an attachment for rifles or other fire.
arms TO the harness of cavalry horses in
such manner that they may, while so
attached, be fred at the will of the
rider.
Fitted to the upper side of the girth,
or bclly-band, is clip or other suitable
appliance fer sustaining the firearm in q
central position, lonsitudinarily, under
the body of the horse, the muzzle end of
the iruarm projecting forward in tho
direction Of, and preferably beyond, the
chest of the animal, the barrel passing
between his foreegs. Suitable attach.
ments are also fitted to the harness to
support and adjust the firearm.
The rider is provided with means for
discharging the fircarm, while the latter
remains in the position above described.
These means may consist of mechanical,
electrical, pneumatic or other appliances.
In working by means of electricity, a
battery, accumulation or dynamo may be
fitted to the saddle aud electro magnets
or other appliances may be fitted SO as
TO operate the trigger of the firearm, the
connection being effected by wire so
arranged that, by touching button, the
electric force causes the piece to fire, the
operation being repeated as required UNI
til the frearm has dischar ged its ammu.
milton.
A bearing rein or other attachment to
the bit or bride is arranged to prevent
the animals head being lowered when
the gun is being fired.
Experiments with Captain Peers at
tachment were made recently at the
Curragh and at Pirbright, and proved
that the rifle could be fired with the
attachment without starting the horse
and with a fair degree of accuracy at
short ranges.
Ithas been objected that Captain Peel's
invention could be used with the pres
ent cavalry drill, but it may very fairly
be argued that drill should depend on
weapons, aud not weapons on drill, that
if cavalry would be advautaged By the
addition of this new mode of offence,
the drill must be modified so far as
may be nee ssary to admit of its intro.

The Ragpickers of Paris.

There are between 40, 900 and $4,000
ragpickers in Paris, divided into three
classes, besides the native chiffonnier,
who is well to do. At the bottom comes
the ramasseur de null. He is born rag
picker. as most of the better ones are,
but is generally laboring man out of
work. lie collects from any refuse he
can find. lie is only one degree above
the comncn Tramp. Gradually be gains
experience, learns 10 distinguish the most
profitable kinds Of refuse, and the quar-
tiers where they are to be found, and ends
by going to live in colony as regular
cbiffonnicr, There are 5000 of this
class. TIE next is the coureur He is
more expert than the ramasseur de mutt,
but has, Ike him, no regular work-he
comos and goes where and when he likes
This is the largest class, and numbers
some 20, 600. The third is the placier,
who is in quite difficult position. He
is licensed by the police, and has def
mite beat From so many houses in a
particular street the refuse is his mono
poly. The good viii of beat can be
bought and sold, and is worth from IS
to 124 or 1870 francs, according to the
district. On tie other hand, the placier
is obliged 10 make his round every day
luder the penalty of losing his place. He
goes out in the morning with bis basket
and visits the houses ON his beat At
each house he takes the portable dustbin,
containing tie previous days refuse,
from the cock, carries it out to the pave
ment, aud oyerbauls it while waiting fol
the municipal dust cart to pass. He may
be seen at work any morning about z or
s o'clock, or earlier, The placIer always
works with his wife and children, and
many placiers possess a horse and cart.
Having gone his round, he returns home
and sorts his gleanings. The assorted
products are sold by weight to the maltre
chiffonnier, who gives from fifty cents
to $40 per 100 kilogrammes, according
to quality. The total profit drawn by
these people directly from the refuse OF
Paris averages almost SIS, 900 day.

Observers of the gorgeous sunsets
and afterglowS have been most par
ticularly struck with the immense
wealth of the various shades and
tints of red. Now, if the glowing
colOrs are due to the presence of dust
in the air, there must be somewhere
display Of the colors complementary
to the reds, because the dust acts by
a selective dispersion of the colors.
The small dust particles arrest the
direct course of the rays of light and
reflect them in all directions. but
they principally reflect the rays of the
violet end of the spectrum, while the
red rays pass on almost unchecked.
Overhead deep blue reigns in awe in
spring glory. As the sun passes be-
low the horizon, and the lower stra-
tum of air with its larger PARTICLES of
dust which reflect light, ceases to be
illuminated, the depth and fulness of
the blue most intensely increase.
This effect is produced by the very
fine PARTICLES Of dust in the sky-oyer.

In all the New York cable roads the
cable is driven by being wrapped around
two twelve-foot drums, placed in nearly
the same perpendicular plane with their
axles about twenty feet apart. 1t is =
curious fact that, though the same cable
runs around these two drums, they do not
revolve at the sa ne speed. In the Bridge
cable machinery one drum lags a revolu-
ton an hour behind the other. This is
supposed by some to be due to the fact
that the cable slips or creeps more upon
one drum than upon the other. Some
engineers think it is simply due to the
unequal wearing of the drums whereby
one becomes of less diameter than the
other. Inasmuch as it is always the same
member of the pair that Lays, the first
hypothesis woul seem nearer the truth.
In the Bridge machinery this Is pro-
vided for by system Of automatic gear.
ing by which the two drums are geared
to the driving shaft much as two horses
are hitched to wagon by an equalizing
bar. In the Broadway power plant, at
Houston street, the two drums of each
set are driven by separate rope gearing
which will yield to any slight differences
in speed. In the Third avenue plant no
provision seems to have been made for
this phenomenon, the two drums of each
set being geared togethar by cogwheels.
